Powering up for largest Christmas show in UK
Contractor Stolworthy Electrical has installed the electrical distribution for the UK's largest Christmas show using Hager Invicta panelboards.
A simple, intuitive hand held remote control programmes the devices.
Cabling is simple and involves no new installation skills.
Hager claims that electricians could typically install and commission a system after just half a day's training often on site while they are completing a project.
Tebis TX enables inputs, including wall switches, timers, PIR sensors, photoelectric cells and thermostats to communicate and switch output devices which could include lighting, heating, burglar alarms and motorised curtains.
Any single or combination of input devices can switch or control any combination of output devices.
For commissioning the contractor uses the hand held remote control to assign addresses to the input and output devices.
They then decide which output devices should respond to which input devices.
When this is completed the installer can save the programme onto a smart media card.
Saving the project details onto a smart media card makes it simple for the installer to change or upgrade the control scenarios in the future.
Alternatively for commercial applications that share the same building layout, such as retail outlets or leisure centres, the smart card saves commissioning time on future projects.
The remote control can also be used to simulate operation if devices are inaccessible for testing.
Comments market manager Peter Curtis: "The new Tebis TX system gives the contractor even more control options from a system that is simple to install and commission.
For example a switch by the front door or entrance may turn off all the lights, the heating down to frost protection and turn on the security system.
"Another scenario in a smart home may turn on the landing, stair and hallways lights on if a smoke alarm is activated after dark to illuminate an escape route.
The control options are endless for both the home and in commercial installations".
