DALI Emergency Monitoring
04/10/2025
When it comes to building safety, emergency lighting isn’t just a regulatory requirement – it’s a life-saving system that must perform when it matters most. With DALI Emergency Monitoring, building owners and facility managers gain a smarter, automated way to ensure emergency lighting systems are always ready, tested, and compliant.
The DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol provides a standardised method for controlling and monitoring lighting systems, including emergency lighting. DALI Emergency (EN 62386-202) adds specific functionality for testing and monitoring emergency fittings. Instead of relying on manual testing and record-keeping, the system automatically performs scheduled function and duration tests and logs the results.
✅ Automated Testing – Function tests (lamp and battery) and full duration tests can be scheduled and run automatically, ensuring compliance with local standards.
✅ Central Monitoring – All emergency fittings report their status back to a central point, reducing the need for time-consuming manual checks.
✅ Real-Time Fault Detection – The system flags battery failures, lamp issues, or communication errors immediately.
✅ Simplified Compliance – Automatic reporting and logging ensure full traceability for inspections and audits.
✅ Cost Efficiency – By eliminating manual testing and minimising downtime, facility managers save both time and money.
At KNX Ireland, we specialise in integrating DALI gateways into KNX-based building management systems. This allows emergency lighting to be monitored alongside HVAC, shading, and security – all within one unified interface. Facility managers can receive alerts, view reports, and manage compliance directly from their building control system.
