by Shane Henson — July 10, 2013—WattStopper launched two digital lighting management control devices this month that offer facilities management professionals elegant, cost-effective solutions for managing energy-efficient lighting controls in partitioned spaces. According to the company, a manufacturer of lighting controls for commercial and residential use, adding just one device to spaces including ballrooms, meeting rooms or training rooms with movable walls enables efficient manual or automatic response when the space is reconfigured.
The LMPS-104 Digital Partition Switch is a decorator-style wall switch that enables quick manual coordination of lighting controls in flexible spaces with up to four movable walls. To recall the correct control configuration for the space, users simply press a combination of buttons to mimic the space configuration. The switch has removable buttons that can be replaced in the field with custom-engraved button kits identifying the associated walls. The LMPS-104 and the button kits are available in five colors.
The LMIO-102 Digital Partition Interface automatically coordinates lighting controls in flexible spaces with up to four movable walls equipped with contact closures. The device can be used alone or with a digital partition switch to serve as a status indicator; green LEDs on the switch show whether the walls are open or closed.
Both WattStopper partition solutions recall up to 16 complete control configuration profiles, including load bindings for connected switches, dimmers, occupancy sensors and more, and the profiles can be set up on site. This powerful functionality offers FMs of today’s intelligent buildings the flexibility to best manage energy according to the specific requirements of each application. Applications include spaces in hotels, conference centers, schools and training centers with up to four movable walls, says WattStopper.
