Clipsal by Schneider Electric DALIcontrol Solution range

Clipsal by Schneider Electric has introduced its DALIcontrol Solution range, allowing electrical contractors to pull together simple lighting control systems using out-of-the-box, pre-programmed elements.

The range comes in Native, Simple or Advanced Solutions offering multiway switching and dimming, occupancy detection and light level detection. The Native Solution can be easily installed and scaled for use in a single room or entire building.

The Simple Solution offers more advanced lighting control and, when combined with the Native range and other DALIcontrol system products, it can be used to achieve distinctive assignment of individual switches or sensors. By comparison, the Advanced Solution is an extension of the previous offerings and involves integrating other building systems to create an intelligent building-wide control architecture that delivers good functionality for facility managers.

The key to all three offers is the DALIcontrol 30 Series Mech range, which includes the 30 Series Master Switch; the Occupancy Detector that uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect occupancy within a 5 m range directly in front of the sensor lens; the Light Level Detector that measures the ambient light level directly in front of the sensor lens; Ceiling Mounts which can be used in ceiling tiles or panels and have optional conduit knockouts; and a Slave Input device, which is matched to the 30 Mech Master Input device to provide additional control of the lighting load, such as two-way switching, variable dimming, toggle on/off, dimming level, nudge up/down and delay timing.
