Comprehensive wireless controls for EnOcean lighting systems
EnOcean wireless technology is optimized for ultra-low power communication, allowing for self-powered, sensors and switches. EnOcean’s Easyfit LED controls portfolio is based on the 902 MHz frequency, which delivers maximum point to point communication distances within buildings. These wireless controls solutions can be easily added to existing buildings during an upgrade to LED lighting.
The complete LED control portfolio consists of LEDR and LEDD Fixture/Zone Controllers, self-powered, wireless light switches, occupancy and light level sensors as well as the Navigan™ remote commissioning software. Controls and Lighting manufacturers can create EnOcean-enabled products by using the extensive line of Dolphin by EnOcean RF modules and EnOcean enabled LED drivers.
Remote set-up and commissioning
The Easyfit product line is supported by Navigan™ Software. Via this commissioning interface, settings such as thresholds, dimming levels, ramp speeds, task tuning, timers or Title 24-compliant parameters can be changed wirelessly. Employing a Windows-based laptop equipped with the remote commissioning tool, an installer can locate wireless devices throughout the facility, logically connect the controller to switches and sensors, and configure settings in the controller over the air – completely without physical access to the controllers, saving time and costs.
More information on Navigan™ can be found at http://www.navigan.com/. Installers can find tutorial videos showing the tool’s functionalities at http://www.navigan.com/support/.
Easyfit wireless controls portfolio for lighting systems now DLC-qualified
Self-powered wireless Easyfit LED controls from EnOcean are now included in the DLC Qualified Product List (QPL). EnOcean customers across the US are now free to pursue retrofit and new projects that may qualify for higher utility rebates with a QPL solution, all without adding batteries to their wireless installations. Easyfit controls based on EnOcean wireless standard are rapidly expanding their deployments in schools, offices, big box and warehouse applications. This recognition by DLC is further confirmation of the cutting edge, highly efficient capabilities of self-powered wireless Easyfit controls.
At Strategies in Light 2018, EnOcean will be demonstrating cutting-edge solutions with leading industry partners based on open standards.
Wireless LED controls for Bluetooth® lighting systems
