Pharos-RIO-D4
Pharos RIO D4 – Remote DALI 4-Port
The Pharos RIO D4 (Remote DALI 4-Port) is a remote input/output device that offers a convenient and scalable solution for controlling DALI fixtures and ballasts from Pharos controllers while simultaneously receiving DALI commands.
The Pharos RIO D4 is compatible with Pharos Designer controllers operating at version 2.15.1 or later.

Features
DALI Control: Each port on the RIO D4 can control up to 64 DALI devices, with support for commissioning with DALI discovery and configuration commands. Designer includes a convenient drag-and-drop interface for DALI patching and timeline programming. Multiple RIO D4 units can be used together as part of a single Pharos Designer system to provide distributed DALI control over an Ethernet network.
Emergency Lighting: DALI Ballasts for emergency lighting have special requirements for regular testing, error detection and fault reporting. Pharos Designer supports this with the ability to schedule automatic Function and Duration tests, automatic querying for battery level and lamp hours, and a full test result and error reporting web page.
Scalable: Multiple Remote Devices can be combined on the same network to build the ideal system for your installation. System totals, maximum devices and maximum DALI interfaces assigned to a controller depends on controller type. Whether one controller or many, it’s all easily programmed using Designer 2 software.
Built-In Flexibility
Each RIO D4 supports four DALI buses, which can be used as outputs for control and for receiving DALI commands as triggers. Each device can be placed where it is needed and connected to a Pharos controller over an Ethernet network.
