 | | TRIDONICATCO’S NEW PCA T5 ECO SETS NEW STANDARDS IN INTELLIGENT SIMPLICITY | | | TridonicAtco | | 18/12/2006 | | |
The PCA T5 ECO Ip range is the fifth generation of digital, dimmable control from TridonicAtco, with a price/performance ratio that is simply outstanding. Combining DSI technology, switchDIM and intelligent protection mechanism, this new plug and play solution from TridonicAtco is setting new standards in intelligent simplicity.
The PCA T5 ECO Ip control gear offers technical refinements such as Intelligent Voltage Guard, Intelligent Temperature Guard and other protective algorithms. Intelligent Voltage Guard constantly monitors the mains voltage at the control gear to protect it against possible damage due to overvoltage or undervoltage, whilst Intelligent Temperature Guard protects the PCA T5 ECO Ip control gear from thermal damage. This intelligence protects the ECG from damage even if it is operated outside its specifications, for example if ambient temperatures fall as low as -25°C or if the lamp cables are too long.
The `smart heating' lamp management system of PCA T5 ECO Ip allows perfect lighting solutions with preheat times of only 0.5 s, dimming to 1 luminous flux for all T5 fluorescent lamps. Even 49W lamps can be operated under the best possible conditions using the `smart heating' concept as it controls filament heating, which not only increases lamp life but also reduces the connected load as there is a saving on heating the filaments.
In addition to the DSI protocol, PCA T5 ECO Ip features switchDIM, the cost-effective user friendly local control solution which now has a memory that stores the last light level and, in the event of a power failure, returns to the previous illumination level or operation mode i.e. standby. PCA T5 ECO lp also has an integrated corridorFUNCTION, making it simple to incorporate special presence-controlled lighting solutions.
With a short starting time of only 0.2 s in DC emergency lighting mode, PCA T5 ECO Ip is ideal for use in hazardous areas. In addition to the adjustable DC level, dimming can now also be activated in DC mode, allowing the control gear to be integrated into different central battery systems in addition to self-contained emergency luminaires.
The PCA T5 ECO Ip digital dimmable control gear has a user-orientated functionality and flexibility that lends itself to a whole host of applications, including the design of small architectural luminaires.
The PCA T5 ECO Ip digital dimmable control gear is also ideal for use in hazardous area applications due to the extremely short starting time of 0.2 s in DC emergency lighting mode.
