3.2.7 Behavior after mains voltage failure
If the luminaire is disconnected from the mains, the ECG saves all
set values. If the light value has been changed before being switched
off, this value is restored, i.e. after a voltage loss, exactly the last
status is reestablished (instant switch-on to the previous present
luminous flux, no "intermediate path" above 100 % luminous flux and
subsequent dimming). All settings (dimming values, lamp on/off,…)
also remain intact with a prolonged mains voltage failure. By double-
clicking, the stored reference value also remains in the ECG after a
power failure and can, if required, be called up again with the luminaire
on/off. If the luminaire was switched off at power failure, it also remains
off when the mains voltage is restored. For this reason, operation in
the TouchDIM mode is not suitable for centrally supplied emergency
lighting applications.

OSRAM DALI ECGs in emergency lighting applications
Due to the variety of emergency lighting control systems and applica-
tions, this topic cannot be described in detail in this primer.
The integration and testing of the complete emergency lighting sys-
tem acc. to VDE 0108 must always be conducted by the persons re-
sponsible for the overall system as the ECG is only one element of the
overall system. The VDE 0108 is a system standard and not an ECG
standard. There are special electronic control units on the market for
local emergency lighting applications with battery integrated in the lu-
minaire. The instructions described here for wiring and programming
the DALI controllers are based exclusively on central battery applica-
tions and, hence, on standard DALI controllers (ECGs).
QUICKTRONIC INTELLIGENT DALI ECGs are suitable for emergency
lighting systems based on VDE 0108. All OSRAM DALI controllers de-
tect emergency operation (system failure level) if there is an absence
of voltage on the DALI input (16V DC in normal operation). This func-
tion is part of the DALI standard and is supported by all vendors.
