From installation through to maintenance
CASE STUDY: providing an open control system that would protect the owners' interests and provide a cost competitive solution, from installation through maintenance.
With advanced lighting applications such as time delay override, warning flickering before lights out and maintenance time set-up, EC-Light allows for versatility and energy efficiency.
The EC-Light Scheduler and Display offer state-of-the-art features such as astronomical clock and real-time clock scheduling, creation of 16 independent schedules and interface to up to 250 network variables.
EC-Light is a networkable lighting system which interfaces with the LONWORKS network and its subsystems (such as HVAC), providing an integrated energy management system.

Lonmark certified communicating thermostats
The Distech Controls Lonmark certified line of EC-STAT communicating thermostats with integrated room sensor, offers exceptional value and versatility, as a stand alone or networkable controller.
Allowing efficient management of lighting loads, EC-Light helps clients save energy and money.
The EC-Light solution includes: EC-Light Panels Mounted in steel enclosures ready for mounting within an electrical room, the EC-Light Panels are available in sizes 8, 16, 32 and 64 relays.
The Panels come standard with input controller, heavy-duty relays, output controllers, 120/277/347 Volt transformer, and movable protection plate between high and low voltage sections.
For additional functionality, an EC-Light-Scheduler or EC-Light-Display can be mounted onto the panels.
Each input controller allows for 8 low-voltage switches, which share a common low-voltage wiring run thus eliminating expensive multiple home runs or 16 dry contacts.
Furthermore, the input controller is compatible with low-voltage switches, and sensors, such as occupancy or photocell sensors.
The output controls a selection of two-wire relays, allowing for 16 outputs per controller.
The HID, two-wire relays offer true feedback and manual override, are latched and have a life cycle of 50,000 cycles.
Relays can be organized into groups allowing the following parameters to be set for additional energy efficiency: Warning period through flickering of lights to announce system will turn off, giving time for local users to bypass the system if necessary or to leave the building.
Maintenance/security crew bypass of lighting system for a specific amount of time.
Hold time through switch or motion detection, allowing the user to initiate the system for a specified time period.
Time delay override, allowing a user to override the lighting system for a specific amount of time.
The EC-Light panels are fully configurable using the EC-Configure LNS based plug-ins, with a network management.
