FARADITE LAUNCHES MOTION SENSOR 360 - PINHOLE Faradite has announced a new product that the company hopes will really pique the interests of those integrators that pride themselves on delivering the ‘wow’ factor. The so-called ‘Motion Sensor 360 - Pinhole’ is a solid aluminium unit that was designed to provide a motion sensor so discreet that the visible sensor is just 15mm when installed. To achieve this, the unit features a threaded barrel and two discs. The upper disc has strong 3M adhesive to stick to the rear of the installation surface at the set material depth and the second disc is then tightened to this to securely lock the sensor in place. Faradite says the sensor is a truly powerful weapon in the discerning custom installer’s arsenal. The miniature size of this device makes it ideal for creating discrete motion-based automation. When installed in the joinery at the top and bottom of staircases, the tiny sensor can trigger low level lighting on the staircase. Installers can also take the automation to an even more granular level and use the pinhole sensor in custom furniture to (for example) bring on under bed lighting, detecting
the presence of a foot as you get out of bed. The pinhole can also be integrated into custom made wall plates; all you need is a 15mm hole. Faradite says the sensor is so small, there really are no limits to the automation that can be delivered without the need for bigger, uglier motion sensors. Faradite faradite.com The Motion Sensor 360 Pinhole - Volt Free (Dry Contact) is available with a black sensor or white sensor
SNAP ONE ARGUES FOR MORE TRIAD TRIUMPHS
A complete installation speaker range from Triad
Snap One has announced the launch of the Triad PDX Series of architectural speakers to provide partners with a solution that pairs the premium audio performance that Triad is known for with a simplified installation experience made possible by Push Lock by Swarm technology. Coined ‘PDX’ in homage to the Portland Airport – the city in which each speaker is customdesigned and engineered – the series includes 13 speakers and 19 accessories, including optional custom-coloured grilles, rear enclosures and preconstruction brackets. “The PDX series marks the first Triad launch since the Snap One and Control4 merger in 2019, and it truly embodies the benefits of both companies coming together,” Alex Zaliauskas, Director of Product Management for Speakers at Snap One says. “We have incorporated the installation features that Partners love about Signature by Episode
speakers and leveraged Snap One’s resources to build a premium, better performing Triad speaker with Push Lock technology – all while staying true to the Triad brand through engineering, sound quality and performance.” Triad PDX creates a strong listening experience by using high-performance materials and highquality components like carbon fibre, Kevlar, Teteron, dual voice coils and chemically etched metal components. The infusion of Kevlar into carbon fibre for the woofer, to create a premium audio experience, is unique to Triad PDX and another marker of the brand’s leading position in the industry, says the maker. Triad PDX uses Push Lock, the exclusive toolless mounting solution specifically designed for Snap One. The proprietary installation technology – which is employed in Signature by Episode speakers, a partner favourite for its simple installation – allows for an upgrade path to a more premium product by securing the speaker with the simple press of a button for a fast and secure installation. The two-piece baffle/speaker module assembly allows partners to easily remove the speaker while leaving the cradle and grille in the ceiling or wall – preventing the speaker from being stolen or damaged during the construction process and allowing for HVAC pressure testing for certification of occupancy.
