Mumbai,Pammvi Group of Companies, the industry leader in providing world-class energy conservation products to various commercial as well as residential projects have now introduced Steinel KNX enabled presence sensor to India.

The controlled PRO system presence detector from Steinel are now equipped with the KNX interface and are capable of performing the functions such as standard presence detection, controlling lighting with brightness control and controlling the HVAC system.

The KNX families of products is generally used for large scale installations and have a field bus which provides them the facility of inter-connecting individual components for building automation services. Therefore, the sensor after installation is generally controlled by a server with the ETS software which is capable of programming individual sensors from a remote location. This sensor can then be programmed for controlling services such as lighting, HVAC, alarms, surveillance systems, maintenance work and building protection etc.

KNX is used for interconnecting various devices (via twisted cable pairs, wireless link, 230 V mains power, IP/Ethernet). Data can then be communicated freely between individual components irrespective of the make or type of application.The various components can be configured or re-configured at any time to suit individual requirements of the site.

Two special IR remote controls are available as optional accessories for Steinel KNX enabled presence detector. These allow the user to make setting very easily for lighting, dimming as as well as saving and retrieving upto four scenarios. Brightness measurement can be calibrated by remote control, detector parameters can be changed without using the ETS software and a test mode can be started and terminated. In the KNX version, parameters changed by the IR remote control can be read by the field bus on the remote server/ ETS software.

The KNX version provides the user with the master and slave option wherein the presence detection zone can be extended by connecting as many as four additional presence detectors (slaves) to the master via the communication bus. The main detector (master) ascertains overall presence (whether the person is present in any one of the detecting zones), controls lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning for the entire room and sense the relevant objects. A slave delivers the presence on or off information to the main detector.
