Key products on display will include ABB’s KNX/EIB smart building controls,
offering users intelligent automatic control of home and building functions from
lighting and shutter control through to heating, ventilation, security and
energy management.
Also present will be ABB’s Alpha bs® wiring accessories, a range of stylish
switches and sockets aimed at the architectural and interior design markets.
Available in a choice of five finishes: platinum, palladium, titanium, ivory and
white, the Alpha bs® range has been designed with fast and simple installation
in mind. A modular design enables the internal components to be easily fixed
onto a grid system, while the frame and switchplate or coverplate, which snap
into position to conceal the mounting screws, do not have to be installed until
the very last moment – ensuring they remain clean and undamaged.
Visitors to the stands will also be able to see examples of ABB’s range of
Busch-Watchdog PIR sensors, including the recently upgraded AlarmLINE,
ProfessionalLINE and SelectLINE models. Featuring ‘rearfield detection’ and an
increased 16 metre range, all of these sensors now incorporate microprocessors,
enabling them to offer an expanded range of functions.
For those interested in the latest in consumer unit technology, ABB will be
displaying the Housemaster Compact consumer unit, which offers a flexible split
load providing added protection and isolation capabilities. A main
isolating switch feeds essential circuits such as lighting and other circuits
protected with residual current devices (RCD), whilst other devices, such as
showers, can be assigned separate MCBs to protect against electrical faults
without disrupting power distributed around the building.
Another key feature of the Housemaster is its ability to accommodate
non-standard configurations. Instead of being confined to typical combinations
of 4+4 or 6+6 only, it provides extra flexibility by enabling installers to
achieve variations including 3+5 or 2+6.
“Our ELEX stands will give visitors an idea of the broad range of products
that ABB can provide for the electrical contracting market,” says James Haigh,
General Manager, ABB low voltage products. “As a global leader in electrical
products and systems for homes and commercial and industrial buildings, ABB
offers electrical contractors the highest quality products backed up by premium
levels of customer service and support.”
