Lighting Control

Andromeda's lighting control solution is based around two key technologies, KNX and DALI. Both offer a robust and simple to install configuration that makes the electrical installation a breeze.

A vast variety of KNX lighting control solutions are available, all based on open standard, cross manufacturer technology. From simple movement detectors to sophisticated dual presence and brightness sensors, from simple push button interfaces (used with standard light switch) to state-of-the-art multifunction push buttons with light, window, blind and room temperature control in a single unit, KNX has it covered.

DALI, the open protocol supported by all the major lighting manufacturers, enables digital dimming, individual luminaire control, lamp and ECG status feedback and emergency test and monitoring - all over a robust and simple wiring solution.

Features
• Local control based on presence, absence, timeclocks or manual switches
• Global control from switches or timeclocks
• Switch off lighting based in natural daylight levels measured locally
• Combined movement and daylight sensor allows the required lux level to be maintained by automatic dimming of the lighting should natural daylight be present
• Instantaneous lamp and ballast failure detection via DALI
• Fail Safe - in the event of a system failure, lighting defaults to 100% (although can be changed to any level)
• Robust and very reliable

Benefits
• Reduced energy consumption
• Reduced carbon emissions
• Comfortable working environment
• Real time monitoring of lighting failures
• Single solution for standard control and Emergency Test
• Compliance with Statutory Requirements
• Based on open protocol standards - KNX and DALI
