Programming, configuration and operation of Area Net is carried out via the Control Pad or a Preset. From this point the output modules are addressed. They recall the relevant parameters for the requested light scene from their memory banks and control the connected circuits as required. Parallel to the Preset, four programmed light scenes can be recalled and can be regulated in their total brightness through the master control function via extensions, or via an IR remote control. An IR receiver is integrated in the Control Pad or the Preset. Sensors for the indoor and outdoor areas enable automatic input for the daylight control. A sequence module is available to automatically recall light scenes in sequential order.
Output modules for a maximum of 4 or 8 connections are available to control external dimmers or relays for luminaires, electric blinds and projection screens.
A PC interface is available to connect the Preset to a bus connector.
The supply of power to the Presets, extensions, D/A modules etc. is ensured by the control gear units. If necessary, several power packs can be connected in parallel. Dimmers in leading and trailing edge technology control ohmic and inductive loads as well as electronic transformers.
The set serves as a lighting control system for one area with 32 light scenes and 8 circuits. It consists of a Preset with built-in infrared receiver, the relevant housing, a D/A module (as the output device) and the power supply.
Area Net can be easily programmed, configured and documented with the PC Preset software for Windows.
