> Parking Management of the ventilation and presence in the parking Willing to improve your neighbors’ comfort?

Installer’s efficient recommendation:

Fumes extraction from the parking generates noise that may be bothering for the neighbors of the plot.

How to reduce the noise coming from the ventilation? We suggest reducing decibels by regulating the operation of the motor, start-up and speed. With Altivar variable speed drive we can manage the speed of the ventilator at the start-up and during its operation. Moreover you can control the drive according to the volume of CO2 by means of specific sensors.

Turning light on and off does not satisfy the necessities of the users: – Usually there are few light switches and they are incorrectly distributed. – When switching the light, all lights in the parking are turned on. – Light may remain on.

The installer verifies the ventilation circuit and detects that there is no device that regulates ventilators. Every time ventilators start to operate at 100% of its power, they make bothering noise to the neighbors.

Read more about related application on page 78 How to manage lighting? The installer recommends controlling the activation of lighting by zones by means of Argus Motion detectors. The system assures the correct turning on of the lamps always when necessary.

Read more about related application on page 80, 88

Benefits For the owner of the system: We manage to correctly extract fumes, reducing noise generated by the ventilators. With regard to Energy Efficiency: By carrying out the control of the inverter according to the volume of CO, it is possible

to optimize the power consumption of your installation. By making the lighting system automatic, we manage to control the lighting necessities of the users of the parking.

Residential Sector > Common shared zones Automatic lighting in common zones: corridors, staircases, elevators... Have you thought of having a more comfortable and safe staircase? It is not necessary that all lights in the whole stair case are on, when switching any light switch. It is not comfortable to switch the light when you arrive with your hands full of things.

Installer’s efficient recommendation: The community wants to modernize its shared installations and make them more comfortable for the neighbors and provide correct light at the right moment. The installer recommends to make the lighting of the building automatic and treat each zone as and independent and optimized one. How can we increase the comfort of the neighbors? We know it is not necessary to turn on all the lights in the staircase when someone switches the light. With Argus motion detectors, without the necessity to look for the device and switch the light, lights will be activated on such level where people are detected, enabling intelligent power consumption.

> Technical community installation Community Electric Panel

Can you imagine to have the community safe and under control? The aim is to reduce the bills for energy without reducing the comfort. Electrical discharge caused by thunders or manipulation are dangerous to household appliances and electronic devices. We want to have the biggest services continuity possible, especially in elevator and in the parking area..

Installer’s efficient recommendation: Bills for electric energy are very high ad we do not actually know the reason why. By having ME4 power meter you will be able to read the consumption of electric energy of different installations in the building, which will enable you to act in such areas where the consumption is excessive. There is a storm and due to electric discharges various receivers are destroyed. Provide in the community’s general electric panel, surge arrester Quick PRD in order to protect all electronic and electric devices. This device has automatic disconnecting device to assure bigger continuity of the services. Lights in the maintenance area sometimes stay on. By means of a presence detector by Argus we assure the activation of lights only when someone is in the area.

Commercial premises Create moods with the use of lighting

Can you increase the customer attraction and the profitability of your facility at the same time? Selling and serving customers is the mission of the employees, but this does not save energy because they cannot manage properly the interior and exterior lighting of the shop. We need to attract our customers’ attention, both outside and inside the shop. We want to use only necessary energy.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: By emphasizing the most important sales spaces and the different needs of each of them, the installer will recommend Ikeos automation system. How can I increase the visibility of my business premises? To turn on the lighted sign, you can connect to one of the Ikeos inputs IC2000; a photocell will be connected when necessary. We can even perform intermittent lighting to increase its visibility.

Read more about related application on page 110 Can I stop worrying about turning off the lights in my warehouse? To turn the lights off automatically, we can use the timer function provided by Ikeos. You will not worry about leaving the light on, because as we leave with our hands full, as the light will turn off automatically.

Read more about related application on page 106 Can I choose when I want the lights to stay on, on my shop window? You can define periods when you want the lights to be switched on, on the shop window, by means of an annual Ikeos Programmable Time Switch. This allows you to define what time and what days the light should stay on. The same function can automatically turn on and off the light and air conditioning in various areas of the store that remain open to the public: changing rooms, display area, and warehouse, preventing that the light is unnecessarily turned on during all night.

Benefits For the owner of the system:

The lighting will cease to be one of your daily tasks, giving you more time to devote to your business and your customers. You will obtain an image of your business that will be more attractive to your customers.

With regard to Energy Efficiency:

Your electricity bill will no more come as a surprise for you, as controlling when the lights turn on and off, will automatically monitor, and reduce electricity costs, increasing your profitability.

Buildings Sector > Restaurants > Table area Customize lighting and air conditioning

Would you like your customers to come back more often? Common shared areas require warm and customized atmosphere for your customers. Often the air conditioning operates at high level with low performance. It is logical that there are more important things to think about, than to go hours before to connect air conditioning.

Efficient installerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation: It is possible that for good lighting, you are spending more energy than necessary. By installing STD tele-inverters, it is possible to create scenes and decrease or increase the power of the light. You can create different lighting zones controlled by a tele-inverter: bar area with additional low-energy light, and another area, the restaurant is lit with incandescent lights to regulate their intensity through the push-button. With a long push-movement, the light becomes less or more intense.

Read more about related application on page 92 We want to prevent the ventilation to operate at peak performance when the room is not full. With the Altivar variable speed drive, you can control the speed of ventilation, based on occupancy of the room.

Read more about related application on page 78 We maintain comfortable environment for our clients, without having to worry about turning the air conditioning on and off. Using IHP Time Switch ensures the activation or deactivation of air-conditioning and ventilation, avoiding situations that they are on, when the restaurant is closed.

Buildings Sector > Restaurants > Kitchen Fumes extraction and air conditioning

What if we could improve the comfort and the performance of your kitchen? The space in the kitchen is small and usually very busy. Add to this, harsh working conditions, such as heat, smoke, odors... There are periods where the kitchen needs high performance or air conditioning and other moments, when such performance is not necessary. Of course, employees should concentrate on improving the quality of the culinary dishes, and not control air conditioning.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: Since the kitchen needs proper ventilation, it should conform to the periods when it is necessary. Therefore, when working in the kitchen does require the maximum performance, it is not necessary that the ventilation engine work at the top speed. Altivar variable speed drive efficiently manages the adjustment of extraction rate by reducing or increasing the speed according to the needs. The drive may connect to a centralized management system for buildings. In addition, with IP54 option, its reliability increases in harsh environment such as the kitchen. It is also possible to detect a fire and not stop the extraction of smoke while gas supply is cut. The demand for smoke extraction is managed using a digital IHP time switch to schedule the hours and days that the ventilation should be activated.

Read more about related application on page 78 If there is air conditioning, it must adapt to the schedules without the obligation of manual adjustments. With Unica weekly programmable thermostat, it is possible to define temperature that should be maintained and comfortable temperatures. This will avoid unnecessary consumption, by means of the automation of air conditioning that will adapt to our preferences.

This is a system with very diverse zones (changing rooms, activity lounges…) Different energy management will be required in changing rooms, activity room, and a swimming pool. The user does not care about the power consumption in various installations. Moisture extractor in the showers runs continuously.

Read more about related application on page 98

Efficient installer’s recommendation: We must ensure that moisture in the showers does not reach too high levels. There are several methods; the most effective alternative in this case is to control the fan speed through an Altivar variable speed drive and a humidistat. The fan works at a speed that is adjusted to the degree of moisture, and therefore saves energy. In the multi-activity room, we need to manage the lighting and ventilation in an optimal way, according to occupation. With Argus detectors, we can turn on the lighting and the ventilation only when users are present in the room. We will also optimize the consumption of the ventilation engine with the implementation of an Altivar drive.

Read more about related application on page 78 For a long time during the day, there is enough natural light to illuminate the gym without having all the lights on. By Argus twilight detectors, we will manage the turning of lights on and off in order to make the best use of natural light. We can reach an integrated and centralized solution through a KNX solution. In the pool, we define the turning on and off of the air conditioning, ventilation and lighting according to a preset schedule of activities. Depending on your needs, with IHP time switch, we can define the activation of the air conditioning or ventilation, some time before the opening, as well as lighting, with the arrival of the personnel. We may also optimize the pumping of water with an Altivar drive that will provide bigger or smaller flow.

Did you know that better comfort equals to a better performance? We have a large space with lots of light during specific times of the day. We want to use natural light in areas that face the exterior side. We need quiet environment suitable for studying.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: The lighting is turned on in all areas regardless of the actual occupancy of the space. Argus presence detectors installed in strategic areas, ensure illumination only where needed, so it is possible to take advantage of natural light.

Read more about related application on page 80, 82, 88 File areas are usually aisles with bookshelves, and do not need to be permanently illuminated. At the beginning and the end of the aisle, install an Argus motion detector to turn on the light during the time of the book search. The reading area is usually situated in the area with more natural light. By installing IC2000 twilight detector with its photocell, we will activate the lights in the area, where the external light source is not enough.

Industry Sector > Common solutions > Technical system Measurement of energy consumption and energy management What if the consumption of you installation was in your hands?

Efficient installer’s recommendation:

The equipment has high consumption and the continuity of service is basically important.

We operate in the field of industry and want to parameterize the values of protections, so we have to go to the electrical board. With Modbus communication module, we manage to analyze the energy consumption, cost allocation, and analyze the quality of supply remotely, from the offices without having to go to that certain spot.

We have a continuous demand for increasing productivity. We need that equipment that is critical to the production be protected against electric shock caused by lightning or supply defects.

The electricity bill is very high and has many take-off points in different areas. Protecting your installation with the new Compact NSX range, with advanced control unit, you will be able to see the consumption of each line of the system, in order to detect excessive consumption.

Transitory surge, due to a storm or a manipulation of the network, can cause damage to the receivers. Install a Quick PRD surge arrester to protect all electrical and electronic equipment. This device incorporates an automatic shutdown to provide greater continuity of service. The lights in the technical rooms often remain turned on. Using Argus motion detector we ensure the turning on of light, only when required by the user. Any industry can have many engines that generate reactive power as well as harmonics in the installation. They prevent the increase of the power consumption and, this, the electricity bill. Placing Varset SAH capacitor bank with detuned reactor you can correct the generation of reactive power to reduce the electricity bill. You will also have your equipment protected against harmonic damages that occur in engines.

Benefits For the owner of the system:

Your business will improve its productivity through the reduction of failures:

With regard to Energy Efficiency:

A much more efficient use of energy. We will reduce the electricity bill up to 30% with the implementation of condenser batteries. In addition, supervision and monitoring of the installation power consumption contributes to a more efficient use of energy and contributes to a more conscious behavior, allowing to save up to 10%.

Specific solutions > Workshops Management of loads

Why not intelligently manage the turning on and off, of the loads to reduce your bill? I am heavily penalized for exceeding the maximum contracted power or I have to contract a higher power than that what I need. If there is a voltage drop, I cannot give priority to certain areas of operation.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: How to reduce the contracted power without lowering the performance of my mains? It is possible to sequence start-up peaks of the systems or loads in such a way, that they are not added and that the resulting start-up peak, be much smaller. This may be achieved by installing a programmable Logic Zelio relay. As you have up to 10 outputs of up to 6 A, it is not necessary to place interface relays, and it is very practical for situations where the box space is limited. With 7 poles, it is possible to activate sequentially up to 10 different areas. If necessary, more Zelios in Ethernet may be connected in cascade, in order to incorporate as many zones as desired. For a more intuitive management, you can incorporate Magelis touch screen.

Read more about related application on page 120 If the network drops temporarily, I would like to try to maintain some of the facilities working. Zelio Logic Relay can be programmed to give priorities and to alleviate non-priority loads. The installing a Phaseo power supply, keeps critical parts of the installation in progress. As an advanced installation, it would be possible to establish different control areas, designating different groups of loads in each of them.

Benefits For the owner of the system:

Lengthen the lifecycle of the installation, as the sequential turning on and off, makes that transient voltage peaks are absorbed by other loads on the network.

With regard to Energy Efficiency:

Decrease your electricity bill, by reaching a lower contracted power.

Specific solutions > Logistics and Warehouse Management of lighting on docks and picking areas

Do you want to ensure proper illumination of the dock, only when needed? The docks and picking area are different large areas that do not require lighting 24 hours a day. Only when used, they must be properly lit to enable the preparation of material.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: The lighting stays on because it is often connected manually and the proper use of the facility depends on employees. It is possible that when closing the dock there are some lights that are switched on during all night. Employees are loaded with material and cannot comfortably operate the lights in different areas. We can strategically place Argus motion detectors in each work area, to light only the areas where work is performed. This is how we can create different areas with independent administration in order to optimize the use of energy. With Twilight IC2000 detector and the photoelectric cell, you can regulate the threshold of light in each area, depending on external light entering into the dock.

We do not always take advantage of natural light during the day.

Sector Industry > Specific solutions > Logistics and Warehouse Automation of conveyors

What if you consumed only the necessary energy? Some conveyors work even if there are no products on them. When the demand for production decreases, the speed of the conveyors and their power consumption remains at the same level of 100%.

Efficient installer’s recommendation: Start or stop the conveyor depending on whether there are products on it, or not: For small installations, or such of just one conveyor, it is necessary to connect OsiSense products sensors, directly to the coils of the TeSys contactors. If you wanted a more efficient solution, we would suggest you to install low consumption TeSys contactors. For medium-sized installations, or such with various conveyors, we could make a simple control with a Twido controler. It can capture all signals from OsiSense detectors and can synchronize the turning on/off of the conveyors. Reduce or increase the production rate, depending on the need: By installing Altivar variable speed drives, we can adjust the speed and the consumption, depending on the demand. We can do it by manually increasing or decreasing the speed, or with the orders issued by Twido controler. Signals power consumption can be reduced. We can achieve this using low power push buttons Harmony that also significantly increases its lifecycle.

Benefits For the owner of the system:

Proper automation will avoid premature wear of the material, and will also reduce machine stoppages due to failures and consequently, will increase its productivity. By reducing your electricity bill, you will reduce your production costs, using only the necessary amount of energy.

With regard to Energy Efficiency:

Low power TeSys contactors reduce your power consumption by 55%, when compared with traditional contactors.

HVAC Control Manage load shedding of your home electrical installation

Customer’s needs

Our recommendation

The homeowner would like to reduce his electricity bill by reduction of subscribed demand while avoiding breaking of the central circuit breaker when power consumption exceeds the power subscribed.

Installing a CDS load shedding contactor will permit to temporally stop supply to non-essential circuits and reduce output power.

Energy Efficiency core products QQ CDS are especially designed QQ to manage load shedding of electrical loads in residential and tertiary installations up to 36 kVA QQ The CDS single-phase load-shedding contactor sheds and restores loads in cascade of 2 nonpriority circuits (heating) in order to supply the priority circuit (lighting) according to the setpoint defined by the user (threshold set by knurled knob on the front face of the CDS) QQ The CDS reference 15908 is a single phase load-shedding contactor of 2 circuits in cascade mode.

CDS Prevent overconsumption!

CDS

> Energy Efficiency benefits > Increase the number of loads that can be managed without increasing subscribed demand. > Enhance continuity of supply: as soon as the power consumed approaches the power set, CDS sheds non-priority loads in cascade.

HVAC Control Manage ventilation in hotel bathroom

Customer’s needs

Our recommendation

The hotel manager wishes to lower the electrical energy consumption while providing guests with maximum comfort by installing an automatic bathroom ventilation system.

Ensure that the bathroom ventilation system is operational while the bathroom is in use and that it remains on only for a few minutes after the light has been switched off. A time-delay relay is used to prevent the extractor from switching off immediately and to ensure that it remains on during an adjustable time-delay period.

Energy Efficiency core products The solution is to use an RTC relay to supply the extractor when the bathroom light is switched on: QQ The ON-QQ OFF switch controls the lighting and ventilation at the same time QQ When the hotel guest switches off the lighting, the RTC relay continues to operate the ventilation QQ The ventilator stops after a preset operating time to ensure that any unpleasant smells and moisture are removed but prevents energy waste.

RTC Just enough!

Lighting Control Automate lighting of surroundings of a building

Customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs

Our recommendation

When a public or tertiary building requires illumination of its surroundings at night-fall, simple time programming is not sufficient to ensure safety and energy saving at the same time as the brightness threshold varies according to season and climate. The site manager wishes to light up the surroundings when the natural brightness threshold becomes insufficient, and switch off automatically when daylight is sufficient again.

The IC 100 light-sensitive switch is the ideal product for problem-free management of these needs. Once installed and its threshold set, it will automatically switch on and turn off the lighting at the right time. AÂ built-in time delay avoids untimely closing or tripping during undesired transient brightness conditions.

Energy Efficiency core products The solution is to set the lighting operation threshold on the IC 100 light-sensitive switch according to the external brightness measured by the wall-mounted cell: QQ The photoelectric cell detects low QQ brightness, causes closure of IC 50 contact and ensures lighting QQ The IC 100 monitoring light comes on when brightness threshold is reached and switches off lighting QQ Time delay on closing and breaking of contact: 10 seconds QQ Setting the tripping threshold from 2 to 100 lux.

Lighting Control Create restaurant mood lighting

Customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs

Our recommendation

The restaurant manager wishes to control separately the lighting in the bar (halogen lighting) and in the restaurant (incandescent lighting) to create different atmosphere and adapt consumption.

The solution is to separate the bar and restaurant lighting systems into two separate areas. Two pushbuttons that can be accessed from the bar are used to vary the lighting manually. The Extra Low Voltage halogen lights in the bar are powered by a remote control dimmer via electronic transformers. The incandescent lights in the restaurant are powered by two associated remote control dimmers.

Energy Efficiency core products QQ The solution is to create two separate QQ areas controlled by two different types ofÂ dimmers: OO The bar area is lit by extra low voltage lighting: the Tve700 dimmer is associated with TFu electronic transformers OO The restaurant area is lit by incandescent lights. QQ The use of optical coupling to associate the Vo1000 and Tvo1000 dimmers increases the electrical output QQ The pushbuttons are used to adjust the brightness: OO a short press switches the lighting ON or OFF OO a long press increases or reduces the light output. QQ The dimmer direction is stored: OO a new long press increases or decreases the light output, according to the current dimmer direction. QQ No wiring is required, as the dimmers are associated via a fibre-optic BUS.

Lighting Control Ensure effective lighting of the entrance of a block of flats

Customer’s needs

Our recommendation

Shared building premises (entrance halls, cellars, garages,...) have the specific feature of episodic and irregular use. Moreover, they are normally located in dark places requiring lighting at all times of the day and night. Permanent lighting of these places is incompatible with the notion of energy savings.

By using one MINp timer, it is easy to efficiently manage temporary lighting of shared building premises. The early switch-off warning reduces light intensity by 50% just before the end of the period, thus enabling the restart a new 3-minute period in complete safety without reaching total darkness. If permanent lighting is needed (servicing, maintenance,...), the ON override function will ensure continuous operation of lights.

Energy Efficiency core products MINp timer with switch-off warning function integrated in the product: QQ The switch-off time delay can be set between 0.5 and 20 min QQ 1h fixed time delay is started by pressing the control pushbutton for more than 2 s QQ The MINp timers can control lighting up to 3600 W QQ Optional override in ON position.

Energy Management Monitor and analyse electrical consumption of a shopping centre

Customer’s needs

Our recommendation

The manager wants to identify excessive or unnecessary electrical energy use by controlling the consumption in different areas of the shopping centre and to allocate cost to the appropriate cost centre.

A three-phase meter with neutral ME4zrt counts the total energy consumed by the installation; measurement is taken using current transformers. A three-phase meter ME3zr measures the energy of the specific furnace circuit. A 3 single-phase meter ME1zr measures the active energy of the other circuits. A yellow indicator light on the front face of the meter flashes according to consumption.

Energy Efficiency core products PowerLogic ME W/hr meters are designed for measurement of Watt-hours by a single-phase or three-phase electrical circuit.

Ideas and recommendations

to be Efficient

124

Ideas to be

Efficient Tips and best practices for saving energy in the daily people’s lives. Residential sector Replace traditional bulbs with tungsten filaments by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or LED technology. Traditional bulbs consume up to 75% more energy. Turn off the lights when leaving a room, because the peak consumption at turning on the light is equivalent to an average of 24 seconds of operation for fluorescent tubes, one to two seconds for LED technology, and less than a second, for compact fluorescent lamps. However, repeated turning off and on of low energy lamps and fluorescent tubes shortens their lifecycles. Keep clear and unobstructed areas, where radiators are located, otherwise their performance is negatively affected. Buy appliances with the best energy class. There are 7 kinds of energy efficiency, identified by a color coding and letters (from the green color and the letter A for the most efficient equipment, to the red color and the letter G for the least efficient ones). Turn off televisions and video game consoles, their residual consumption may cost up to €60 a year.

125

Ideas to be

Efficient Buildings sector Select appropriately the temperature preset on the thermostats. Each additional degree of temperature can generate increases in heating costs by up to 8%. Make sure that the heating is synchronized with the periods when the building is occupied. Insulate properly the building envelope; the heat loss can be reduced by 90%. Clean the lamps regularly (once a year). The dirt on them can significantly reduce the efficiency of lighting. Regularly clean the windows. The dirt on the glass hinders the natural light. Also, make sure that the blinds are opened to allow the use of natural light. Leaving the copying machine in hibernation when not in use, and turn off at the end of the day, a copier that is left overnight uses enough energy to make 1,500 copies. Program monitors to go into hibernation mode when inactivity is detected; they consume two-thirds of the energy required by Computers. When the employees leave their jobs, computers should be shut down.

126

Ideas to be

Efficient Industry sector Shutdown, whenever possible, all ancillary facilities where production machinery is not working. The consumption of manufacturing plants when they are not in operation, but on standby, can be up to 30%, because although the machines are off, ancillary facilities stay on. Install more efficient electric motors; in a typical factory they consume 60% of energy. An electric motor can consume the energy that is equivalent to its purchase price in 2 months’ time. It is important to select power that is adequate for the load they will support, since the efficiency of an engine that works outside its nominal point drops dramatically. Avoid installing oversized power motors and use variable speed drives to maximize engine performance at different operating regimes. Immediately repair leaks in compressed air systems. All gaskets, seals, hoses and couplings should be checked frequently. An effective leak detection system is very useful and its cost of implementing it is reduced. Install quick opening doors or strip curtains in all the interior doors of trucks. In many cases, they become amortized in less than a year. The batteries of electric trucks should be loaded after hours of peak electricity demand (evening/night).
