Future-proof-and-flexible system for room automation based on KNX-1

The worldwide standard for home and building control Future-proof and flexible system for room automation based on KNX Demand-related lighting/shading control and application-oriented installation of control modules with GAMMA room automation box Flexibility with regard to functionality The new room automation system includes sensors and actuators for lighting/shading control and for heating, ventilation and cooling systems. Other products are modules for use with the GAMMA room automation box AP 641 and the automation module box AP 118 plus flush-mounting devices with or without mounting frame. So the product range offers devices with identical functionality for different types of installation and locations with identical configuration options. What‘s more, the majority of the devices can be combined with HVAC room applications. Matching solutions for every field of use The amount of available space and installation, wiring and maintenance costs have an impact on the selection of the type and place of installation. So the flush-mounting devices are ideally suited for use with buttons installed close to the function they have to perform, such as blind buttons by the windows. By con- trast, the GAMMA room automation box and the automation module box are preferably used in wide-span offices to be installed in suspended/false ceilings. In addition, they are used in spaces with no access: They can simply be fitted in corridors where they are always accessible for maintenance. Straightforward integration and installation The sensors and actuators of the new room automation system are fully compatible KNX devices which – thanks to standardized communication – can be freely combined with other KNX products or can be seamlessly integrated into suitable systems. Power is supplied via the bus, so there is no need to provide extra power supply. Straightforward installation also extends to wiring. With the new dual push-in terminalsfor single and stranded wires, ferrules are no longer required. These types of wires can therefore be installed fast and without extra effort, allowing straightforward bridging via the dual push-in terminals. Highlights Flexible functionality thanks to a wide choice of modules and flush-mounting devices for lighting and shading control Matching products for all types of installations – with regard to individual functions and multifunctional applications Seamless integration into the most diverse types of systems, thanks to standardized KNX communication Lower wiring costs since power is supplied via the integrated bus

Future-proof-and-flexible system for room automation based on KNX-3

Modular room automation Introduction ■ Overview Modular room automation A new chapter for GAMMA instabus – decentralized and yet modular room automation with its own KNX components for flexible use in the room, based on one platform – regardless of installation location and type. For surface mounting, for example, in a room or hallway, we recommend the new room automation box, providing space for eight KNX sensor/actuator modules. Moreover, the automation module box further permits the addition of an independent KNX sensor/actuator module close to the actual application, for example, in wall...
