WALL-MOUNTED CONTROLS
38
Pushbuttons are the most common interface between the lighting system and end users and are present in almost all applications. Depending on their configuration,
pushbuttons can either perform a simple on/off command or continuously adjust the brightness, hue and colour of light sources. They can also control groups of
luminaires, call up scenes and sequences and, thanks to integrated LEDs, inform users about the status of luminaires or be easily detected in the absence of light.
PRESENCE SENSORS
48
Presence sensors are commonly used controls to automatically switch luminaires on and/or off in a large number of different applications. They offer energy savings
and increased comfort of use in the building and can also be used to detect simple movement in transit areas. They can be used multifunctionally to control heating,
cooling and ventilation systems as well as lighting. Versions equipped with a light sensor allow the lighting to be controlled according to available daylight.
INPUTS
46
The inputs make it possible to connect traditional sensors and controls to the bus system; thanks to the binary inputs, even traditional civil series controls can be
integrated into the building automation system. They are available in a version for panel mounting on DIN rails or in a compact version for flush mounting in a wall
box.
INPUT AND OUTPUT MODULES
56
To meet the complex requirements of office environments and hotel rooms, dedicated input and output modules are available to control and monitor the main room
functions, including lighting, in a very compact solution. Operation can be in combination with Ekinex pushbuttons or conventional controls connected to specially
configured inputs.
ACTUATORS AND DIMMERS
60, 70
In addition to actuators, which enable the switching on and off of individual luminaires or groups of luminaires, there are dimmers, which greatly extend the
possibilities of controlling artificial light, saving energy and helping to prolong the life of light sources. Whereas in the past dimmers could only vary the brightness
of the light source, they can now control the colour and shade (cold-warm) of white light.
GATEWAY
68
Gateways perform the important function of transparently connecting devices, systems and networks that live together in the same building but use different
protocols. They act as protocol converters and ensure interoperability at a higher level between global standards in their respective fields such as KNX, DALI and
DMX512.
SUPERVISION
77
When the building automation system is enriched with more functions, it is ideal to control and monitor the system locally and remotely by means of supervision.
The interface for end users can be either an app for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets (with Apple iOS or Android operating systems), a PC, wall-
mounted touch panels or any combination of these.
VOICE CONTROL
87
Voice control, integrated into the Delégo lighting control system or as a stand-alone solution, offers the possibility of interacting with the lighting in the most
natural way possible, without even having to press a button or use an App: thanks to home speakers with voice assistants always listening, the light is switched on,
off or dimmed simply by saying a sentence after the activation word.
