Modular room control
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.
The different mounting forms allow a flexible installation in different
locations in the room: in installation ducts, under a raised floor, above
a suspended ceiling, and in wall boxes. The system presented here
offers a great functional variety for installation in-wall, on-wall, in para-
pet ducts, in suspended ceilings, and under raised floors.
The Room Control Box AP 641, the Control Module Box AP 118, and
the in-wall mounted UP devices enable distributed room control with
a few devices, high flexibility, great adaptability and modularity. Both
control boxes are assembled with RS or RL sensor/actuator modules in
a special quick-mount design. The available modules are full KNX bus
participants functioning as binary inputs and outputs, as well as blind
actuators, universal dimmer, and switch actuators. The RS and RL mo-
dules have the same functionality as the flush-mounting UP actuators.
Therefore identical functionality is available for different installation
types or locations featuring the same configuration possibilities. As a
result, the devices use a common application program regardless of
mounting variant – i.e. devices for installation in the Room Control Box
and automation control box as well as flush-mount with or without
mounting frame.
Advantages of the modular installation systems:
- with maintenance-free terminals for connection and through-wiring
of untreated single-core, stranded or multi-core conductors,
- the actuator can be placed close to where the function is executed,
i.e. the user operation interface and the actuator can be installed in
the same location,
- Reduced wiring and less wall boxes must be installed. The actuator is
accessible under the user operation interface for maintenance.
