Carlo Gavazzi introduce new through-beam sensor designed to provide industrial levels of performance with the style and competitive pricing of devices for consumer markets.
The temperature controller does not require any external power as it is powered by the communication bus from the main controller.
Multiple controllers can be linked together to provide individual room control for greater comfort and energy saving.
The new wireless light switch integrates a 4-channel 868MHz transmitter to control lights or other electrical systems such as blinds over a license-free radio link.
Wireless operation gives architects and installers the freedom to choose convenient switch locations, and re-position them if required.
As an inherent benefit of Smart Building technology, the light switch can easily be re-addressed to control other lights or functions without rewiring.
Additional base stations (G3486 0058) can be added in large installations if the 100m range is exceeded.
The new switch (model number G8186 440x 703) is available in white, light grey and charcoal grey.
Dimensions are 55mm x 55mm x 11mm matching the growing range of Smart Building LK FUGA fittings.
Power comes from a 3V Lithium cell that has a lifetime of at least 5 years, and can easily be replaced without requiring an electrician.
Carlo Gavazzi has also introduced a new wireless base unit dedicated to its wireless switches including the new G8186 440x 703, allowing installers to quickly incorporate the switches into any Smart Building network.
The G3486 0058 base unit is supplied in a standard H4 plastic housing for easy mounting, and is able to support an unlimited number of switches connected via the wireless interface.
The new unit operates from a 230VAC, 45-65Hz supply, allowing direct connection to mains supplies throughout Europe.
