switch or control the devices such as lights when telegrams are received via the bus The sensors receive input by way of light sensors, Temperature Sensors, Timers, manually operated Push Buttons, etc and convert them into instabus telegrams Controllers are needed when special features are required For example, logic functions allow different conditions to be fulfilled before an action occurs This could be applied in terms of the activation of lamp posts in Botanic Garden: lights are to be switched on when it hits 6:30pm and the natural light falls below a certain level of brightness System Devices such as Power Supplies are necessities and they need to be incorporated after specifying the above mentioned devices Accessories are also necessary to complete the products They come in forms of Connectors and Frames for the Push Buttons Hence, the selection process of individual products consists of five steps: Select Actuators Select Sensors Select Controllers Select System Devices Select Accessories 3-21 Step 1: Select Actuators Switching Lighting Blinds/Curtains Heater/Air-Con Other Appliances The Load determines the products Dimming Bulbs Halogen Lamps Florescent Tubes Conventional Transformer Electronic Transformer Actuators are also known as output devices, relays Actuators are used to switch lights, motors and other equipment such as heaters, air-conditioners and other appliances via the socket outlets Most Actuators are used to switching, similar to dry contacts, but there are some special Actuators catered for florescent, halogen lamps dimming and operating

same properties with differences in their dimensions N525: Switching/Dimming Actuator *N 525 - Switches and dims florescent lamps via control voltage (1 10V) of IR of 16A at 230V channel only - Same properties as GE 525 To dim florescent lamps (tube-, ring- or compact-form), an electronic dimmable ballast is required to operate the lamps instead of a conventional or an electronic ballast (non-dimmable) In addition to terminals for the supply voltage (230V AC), the electronic dimmable ballast has two terminals plus and minus for the control voltage to dim the lamp (1 10V DC) The voltage between these two terminals determines the dimming value of the lamp minimum 1V (1%), maximum 10V (100%) A relay in the Switching/Dimming Actuator connects and disconnects the electronic Dimmable Ballast from the supply voltage Applicable to both GE and N types 3-23 Step 1: Select Actuators (Cont’d) Dimmers (Cont'd) *N 527, 528 - For switching & dimming of halogen lamps One channel

of the Data Rail Plug connector A 6917/x1, A 6918/x1 - An essential connector for AP 600 switching devices - Please refer to the Protective Switching and Fuse Systems catalog 3-32 FEATURES Scene Control The Scene Modules allow the system to attain a pre-programmed setting with one touch of a button If Scene is required, simply depress the button labeled Scene for an instant A telegram will be sent to the Scene Module to activate Scene One Scene Module offers pre-sets Any Push Button may be used to activate the scenes In the earlier example stated in section: Intelligent Ideas For Your Project, Scene Control is used in the conference room where Scene is set for a multi-media presentation and Scene for a slide presentation The changes are programmed and chosen by the user The lights in the front of the room, where the projector is, may be dimmed down and lights at the back of the room may increase in brightness from Scene to Scene Scene may be set for a speech presentation where stronger lighting is needed at the spot where the presenter is and Scene may be set to create an environment suitable for general meeting The transition from one scene to another is done just be depressing one button and there is no more hassle with knobs for the various dimming groups 3-33 Scene Control (Cont’d) Scene control offers options due to the difference in methods of presetting the scenes to your liking One scene module can program for presets with limited dimming and switching groups Option Under option 1, the scenes may be preset with the use of any separate Push Buttons or Infra-Red Remote Control One scene module can accommodate up to a maximum of dimming groups or switching groups For Option 1, if there are more than the number of groups stated above, additional scene modules are required For example, if there are dimming groups and switching group, scene modules are needed By referring to the table below, other combinations are shown in relation to the number scene modules required Option Option Under option 2, the scenes may only be preset by a gang DELTA studio/fläche Push Button This same Push Button maybe used to recall the scenes One scene module can accommodate up to a maximum of either dimming or switching groups One scene module can also accommodate the combination of dimming and switching groups In this case, if there are dimming and switching groups, only scene module is required For Option 2, if there are more than the number of groups stated above additional scene modules are required The table shows the number of scene modules needed for various combinations of dimming/switching groups Option 3-34 IR Handheld Remote Control To incorporate a remote control in the system, IR Decoder must be added in for every IR Receivers The IR Receiver may be mounted on the ceiling for optimum performance The Handheld Transmitter is able to activate any load connected to instabus, recall scenes, dim or switch Various IR Receivers may be mounted throughout the building and receive signals from all Handheld Transmitters Alternatively, it may be programmed such that specified IR Receivers receive signals from specified Transmitters In the figure below, it can be seen that the system is able to switch, dim lights, control motors and appliances The IR Transmitter, S425, can control up to dimming light groups and 16 switching groups It can be used to recall scenes or activate Timers or pre-programmed events Channel A would be able to switch on light group with the button 1a and switch off with button 1b Dimming functions will be achieved using buttons 1a and 1b when the buttons are depressed for a longer period of time Alternatively, all the buttons may act as toggle buttons where the first touch on button 1a will switch on something and the second touch will switch off the device The toggle button will activate a 2nd set of channels When the red LED is lighted, the 2nd sets of channels are activated 3-35 Detachable Switches The AP 42x range Push Buttons are wireless and may be mounted on any surface It is possible to mount a Push Button on the glass door by the pool without, otherwise unsightly wires They come in gang, gang or gang In bathrooms, where dangerous high voltage switches are prohibited, these detachable switches are the best solution to enable control of lights or devices from the comfort of the tub Constant Brightness Control The Constant Brightness Control is a feature that will enable a constant level of lux be maintained at the specified work area The advantages of the feature are energy savings and the decrease of risk of deteriorating eyesight of workers 3-36 Constant Brightness Control (cont’d) The constant light control mode allows the Brightness Controller, GE 252, to maintain a constant light level within a regulating range of 200 to 1900 lux The GE 252 is mainly used indoors When the actual light intensity exceeds the specified set point or drops below it, the Brightness Controller sends regulating telegrams to the corresponding Dimming Actuators and thus brightens or darkens the lighting until the set point is met Daylight Control The Daylight Control is especially useful in buildings with open-air corridors and offices with windows One Brightness Sensor and Brightness Controller Modules can regulate the light intensity for the entire building The sensor may be placed on the top of the building The Brightness Controller, GE 253 consists of a converter and a light sensor with a 2m connection cable It is most suitable to ‘read’ the light level of natural sunlight As shown in the figure on the left, the sensor may be placed outside at the windows such that the lights closer to the windows are dimmed down The lights in the office are preset such that they are regulated by natural sunlight: if it is bright, the lights closer to the windows will be dimmed down the most This will bring about the benefit of energy savings 3-37 Daylight Control (cont’d) The Converter is the device designed to convert the light intensity value measured by the sensor to a telegram understood by the bus The Light Intensity Control Module controls the light intensity of independent groups of lighting It can be programmed to a step control: on/off or continuous control: dimming The Light Intensity Control Module must always be specified with Brightness Controller, GE 253 Push Buttons can be used to adjust the light intensity during operation as required or to switch off the function of brightness control For example, the original program has set Light Zone to be at 20%, Light Zone B at 40% and Light Zone A at 60% In order to change the intensity, the Push Button can be used to increase the intensity of all light groups by, say, 10%: Light Zone A at 30%, Light Zone B at 50% and Light Zone C at 70% 3-38 Motion Detector The Motion Detector is used to activate devices upon sensing movements The program may read such that if there is any movement detected, lights may be switched on, doors unlocked, ventilation switched on and so forth The Motion Detector is another device connected to the bus only The time period where the lights are triggered on via the Motion Detector ranges from seconds to minutes and can be adjusted at the detector itself The horizontal angle ranges from 0o to 180o and the length of the detection range is approximately 10m or less The Motion Detector is also equipped with a mini light sensor If the light level of the Motion Detector is set at, say, 200 lux and the environment lighting is more than 200 lux, light will NOT be switched on even if motion is detected This feature is, therefore, advantageous to all energy conscious people as it is redundant to switch on the lights if there is already sufficient lighting This feature may be disabled if it is not needed 3-39 Timer The Timer allows the client to program events which are activated at a fixed time on a daily or weekly basis In this example the Timer is programmed for a commercial building where the lights are automatically turned on at 8am and switched off at 7pm throughout the weekdays Different programs may be chosen for the days of the week and specified dates of the year For example, lights on the 24th of December may be programmed to be switched off all day This application can be found in the corridors of commercial buildings where the lights are on 24 hours a day for the whole year With instabus, it is possible to combine convenience and energy savings to realize costs savings During office hours, the corridors are left fully illuminated After office hours, the Movement Detector is integrated to control the lights 3-40 Time Module The Time Module, delays or inverses the activation of devices It has separate input and output channels and the following are the application programs: • Input inversion: the values received at the inputs are inverted before the Time Module receives the telegrams; for eg ‘1’ is changed to ‘0’ • Switch on delay • Switch off delay • Switch on and off delay: where both the ‘on’ signal and ‘off’ signal are delayed • Output inversion: the values are changed after sending them to the Actuators One area of application, where the Time Module will provide energy savings when used in conjunction of the Movement Detector, is in the restrooms Upon the detection of a movement the lights will be turned on Should there be continuous movements for more than a period of minute, the fan will be switched on The delay ‘on time’ for the fan is, therefore, minute and in this example, the delay ‘off time’ is 10 minutes 3-41 Rooms Partitioning - Logic Module A large single room can be subdivided into or more rooms with the same Push Button switching room A individually or switching rooms A and B together When two rooms are divided by a retractable wall, they require individual control switches for each room As soon as the retractable wall is removed for meetings or presentations, room control becomes a hassle with a conventional system To activate functions for lights like switching and dimming or shutter control, you always have to operate those functions twice: first in Room A, then in Room B With the Siemens instabus Logic Module, this is history As soon as the retractable wall is removed, all functions of the newly ‘merged’ room are tied together: inclusive of dimming, scene control and remote control Hence, the Siemens instabus allows you to concentrate fully on your presentation The advantage is that there will be a reduction in the wiring and a decrease of risk of the wires being connected to the wrong switches In addition, having this feature will give the convention room a cleaner look With the partition down, Push Button A switches lights in A only and Push Button B controls the lights in B only Room Partition is removed: Push Buttons A and B are switching both light groups 3-42 Safety & Security: Panic Function, Smoke/Fire Alarm, Burglary instabus provides safety and security to your building, your home The below-mentioned features may be incorporated individually or in combinations Panic Button Feature: In places where there are elderly people or young tots around, a ‘Panic Button’ is useful in the case of an emergency where people are robbed of their ability to speak A ‘Panic Button’ is always located at one fixed location made known to all users They may be installed in the restrooms, especially those in the homes for the aged In condominium units, security guards are available 24 hours a day and may be notified of emergency Smoke/Fire Alarm: In case of fire or smoke, it is essential that there are no lives endangered and, hopefully, damages are minimized One method of warning is to provide an acoustic alarm in individual residential units (condominiums or houses) Additional features are made possible with instabus It is now possible for the residential unit to be completely lit up, air-condition and heaters to be switched off and an acoustic alarm to be activated in the case of a fire Other alternatives include notification to a fire/security department In the case of a condominium unit, the guardhouse may be notified as well 3-43 Burglar Alarm: A fear for most home owners is to be robbed, their privacy invaded and their sense of security destroyed With instabus, an interface is attained with a burglar alarm system such that the supplier of the alarm system and the owner will be notified In addition, lights are switched on to frighten off the robber Alternatively, lights may also be set on flashing mode to notify the police cruising along the street lined with identical looking houses Presence Simulation: This feature deters potential thieves from cleaning out your home As the name suggest, instabus is able to simulate a presence in your house with help of Timers and Scene Control For the period of time that your home is empty as the owner(s) is away on business trips or vacation, lights are switched on and off at different times and the television turned on in the evenings after working hours, thus giving the impression of occupants Monitoring It is an added convenience for home owners to have status information without physically walking to the location(s) and necessary for building owners to have a monitoring system For example, in condominiums, a monitoring system set up for the case of the residents’ safety is a benefit In the case of fire, emergency or burglary, the guards will be notified In commercial buildings, any faults should be detected in the maintenance room for fast response time 3-44 LCD - Display Unit For the home owner, a simple 8-message text display may be placed near the main entrance Just by scrolling the text, the owner may check if lights in the backyard are off, if the windows in the bedrooms are closed before leaving the house Another option is to place the LCD in the bedroom to conduct a check on the status of objects such as the doors and windows before going to bed The LCD can be programmed such that if there is an emergency such as a fire, it will emit a beeping warning and flashing text Status Display by PC To monitor & control instabus EIB functions used, commonly a Visualization Software Program is used With the Visualization Software Program, floor plans may be created with a mouse click In addition, lights and devices from different sectors may be monitored and completely controlled from one location If there is a fault, like a MCB trip, maintenance will be notified immediately and response time is reduced In shopping centers, displays should not be kept in the dark and in offices, workers require power supply to their equipment such as their PCs System protection is provided through different code words 3-45 Panel Display Available are flexible Display/Control Panels which allow the building owner to create a 2-dimension replica of the building This may be used when there are specific features that are needed to be monitored and/or controlled For example, a condominium guardhouse may make use of the display to be alerted should there be a fire in one of the units or if the panic button is depressed The small LED is located at the unit is set flashing upon the activation of any of the alarms Multiple displays may be used simultaneously for various purposes or bigger buildings The panels come in A2 and A3 sizes with or without LEDs Additional LEDs may be installed if needed An alternative type of display is the Front Panels which provide LEDs, push buttons of up to 15 for monitoring and controlling purposes The panels, also come in boards where only LEDs are installed as push buttons may not be needed The maximum number of LEDs are 40 per board These panels are useful in hospitals as a ‘nurse call’ feature As soon as the patient ‘calls’ for a nurse, the LED will be lighted and the friendly labels will identify the patient In addition, the panels may be installed in a control console to operate the lights or devices of the various rooms or sectors Display/Control Panel Front Panel Tele-Control The Tele-Control enables the owner to call in to activate scenes or other home devices The owner is also able to check the status of his devices In the case of the frequent traveler, he may use his mobile phone to call the Tele-Control Unit and switch off his lights or water valve from the airport The devices required are a telephone line, a Tele-Control Unit linked to the system via the EIB cable and a separate phone to make the phone call home 3-46 [...]... street lined with identical looking houses Presence Simulation: This feature deters potential thieves from cleaning out your home As the name
