The Backbone Now is the time to prepare your new home with a Structured Cabling Network system. You will then have the flexibility to set up and easily integrate any future technology, move your home office or network devices to any “Tec port” location in your house. We can provide the infrastructure you need to distribute broadband Internet access, lighting, climate and home automations features to any room, share printers and other devices or play games from multiple computers. Our “plug and play” system will allow you to integrate your equipment to maximize performance and eliminate configuration barriers. “Hardwire” Ethernet Routers create an industry standard computer network that lets you share High-Speed Cable, DSL, or Satellite Internet and Voice over IP access with multiple computers, and can do so with faster speeds and more security than their wireless counterparts. Connections are made easy and instant. Plug your computer into any Tec port wall plate for a more secure and dependable wired connection. Or use a wireless access point for hybrid wireless coverage on your laptop in parallel. Create a new “hotspot” anywhere you want by plugging a wireless bridge into a nearby Tec port for optimum performance of your wire-free connection.

Now you can make them all talk and interact with each other so that they become even more user friendly efficient and fail safe. Add value to your home. Home technology is increasingly becoming essential in any homebuyer list. While some may be just looking for Internet access in any room or easy setup of their home theatre equipment more and more people are looking for expanded options and the intelligent homecould be the point of difference when buying or selling a home. Benefits now and into the future. Even if you can’t budget for the full system you would like you can always plan for the future now. All systems are scalable and easy to add on or to change. Smart Home technology will grow into your house as more appliances and devices become ‘smart’ friendly. Disability friendly! For those who have limited mobility can control curtains, lights, doors, windows, and appliances with the touch of a button. They can even be controlled with a voice command. Alert emergency services without ever dialing a phone.
Convenience at all times Smart Homes are always convenient. Whether it is simply watering the garden, changing the pool pump times or adjusting the air conditioning it can all be done automatically or with the press of a button. Options even allow for this to be done from any PC or mobile phone connected to the internet. Imagine a hot day and you simply log in to your home from the office and turn on the Air Conditioning before you get home.
Security and Safety Protect the most important - your family. When you are at home you know that you and your family are safe from harm, giving you the ultimate peace of mind. Safety is also paramount in your home - turn lights on automatically to avoid trips and falls, if your Smoke alarms go off - you know the lighting in your house will turn on to help your family escape quickly. View the outside of your home or the front door from any TV in your home.
Piece of mind Having a well-designed and placed security system will give you and your family peace of mind. Knowing that your family and assets are safe and secure while you are at work or on holiday is very comforting. Our systems are of the highest quality and will continue to ensure your safety for many years to come. Flexibility. You can choose a very simple system that covers the home’s basic perimeter. It is user friendly and has the ability to expand if you feel the need later. Or you can choose an enhanced system that has window coverage and convenience items like key fobs so you can arm and disarm the system remotely. Our fully programmable systems can be set up for you to arm the perimeter separately from the inside. This allows your family to walk around while system is armed without setting off the alarm, while you are home. When you are ready for bed, just arm the system fully for full internal and external coverage. We also have a convenient door chime option that allows you to know when a door has been opened, when the system is unarmed which is great when small children are in the home. Our systems come pressure-free in regards to outside security system monitoring services, meaning that you are not forced to sign-up for any long-term contracts. We would love to provide you with a third party monitoring feature, however it is totally optional. Many of our customers just use the system as an unmonitored deterrent and to know what is going on in the home. Important features that are often overlooked include, C02 detection, water retention and auto shut offs, lighting features tied to alarm events, panic buttons and key-fobs.
“We have a solution that will suit your needs and can be even further enhanced by adding Carbon Monoxide, Monitored Smoke, or Glass Break detectors. You name it; we can do it for you!�
Climate Control According to the US Department of Energy approximately 56% of an average home’s energy usage is for its heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Using an Intelligent Thermostat will reduce your home energy costs. You may be familiar with programmable thermostats that allow you automatically schedule your heating and air conditioning settings based upon the day of the week and time of day. They can allow you to set back temperatures when you are not home and to warm or cool the home to your desired temperature for when you return home. The future however is the Intelligent Thermostat. Developed in conjunction with the US Department of Energy, this advanced technology will learn the heating and cooling patterns of your home. This advanced process of learning these patterns enables the Intelligent Thermostat to maximize the efficiency of your HVAC system, to keep your home at the comfortable temperature that you have set. When used with a participating utility, Intelligent Thermostats have the ability to communicate with your electric meter to show the current cost of energy, how much energy you have used, and an estimated monthly bill. An Intelligent Thermostat will display real-time energy usage in graph format. Proper humidity control is another important aspect of remaining comfortable while saving energy. The Intelligent Thermostat has a built-in humidity sensor and can control humidifiers and dehumidifiers. Auxiliary temperature and humidity sensors may be considered for temperature-based control of attics, garages, greenhouses, basements, wine cellars, or coolers. Water temperature sensors may also be used to supervise and manage pool or spas.
When used with a home control system you cannot only change thermostat settings based upon events, time, or sensor readings, but you can access your homes dashboard at any time and change your thermostat, security system and lighting settings via Internet or mobile phone.
Lighting Control Simply from the standpoint of energy consumption alone, optimization of your lighting system can more than pay for it’s self. That’s not just good for your budget; it’s also good for the planet. Through the use of sophisticated algorithms, Azimuth brings intelligent cost effective control to lighting systems. You can program your lights to adjust globally, by zone or individually. Interior lighting levels can be automatically adjusted based on exposure to the sun. You can even set the precise timing of exterior lighting to mirror each of the four seasons. Azimuth has experts who can design, install and maintain complex and efficient lighting systems in homes of any size. You can control your home’s lighting without physically being there, giving the appearance that your property is occupied to discourage would-be intruders. Here’s the bottom-line – when you harness your lighting, you harness your energy costs. Harness the cost savings that come with true energy management of your furnace, air conditioner and lighting systems if you are at home or not.
•Keep your home comfortable and save money on energy use. •Automatically dim lights throughout a home and energy costs are reduced. •Front door and driveway lighting are automatically powered on at dusk and off at dawn to save energy. •Control the individual zone temperatures for a greenhouse, a wine cellar, an attic or aquarium. •Access your home remotely via a laptop or cell phone to manage lighting and temperatures efficiently.
Vehicle Charging Plug-in electric vehicles offer improved fuel economy, lower emissions and strong acceleration with a quiet operation— all from a domestic energy source. Therefore, it is no surprise that automakers are bringing plugin electric vehicles to the mass market. In fact, industry forecasts predict an annual volume of 400,000 battery electric vehicles in North America by 2020. These electric vehicles will require a substantial residential, commercial and public infrastructure to support them. Azimuth provides the most robust, flexible offering of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) on the market.
Network Capability allows the station to be a Modbus TCP and offers a small, built-in Web server that shows the station’s status and usage statistics.
Azimuth supplies, installs and integrates the Eaton’s Pow-R-Station EV family of solutions and is the electric transportation industry’s premier EVSE. User Safety The various communications between the electric vehicle and the Pow-R-Station EV charger are in place to ensure user safety. These safety checks verify that there is no chance of injury to the user or the equipment. For example, until the vehicle has confirmed it is connected to an EVSE, the five pins on the connector have no AC power. As an added feature the units charge card has a break away feature. In addition, electric vehicles are required to have an interlock deactivating the ignition while connected. If anything happens to disrupt the connection, such as a user releasing the connector latch, the power flow to the vehicle will immediately stop. Be prepared to travel an estimated 75-100 miles per charge!
The charger will respond by indicating its available line current (ALC). The ALC is the maximum current the electric vehicle is allowed to draw, depending on the circuit size or the commands of a load-management system and/or the requirements of a utility.
Essentials Uninterrupted Power source The 9130 UPS delivers online power quality and scalable battery runtimes for servers, voice and data networks, storage systems and other critical equipment. With an efficiency rating of 95% the 9130 UPS cuts energy costs while significantly extending battery service life with ABM technology. Power Transfer Switches Transfer switches are critical components of any emergency or standby power system. When the normal (preferred) source of power is lost, a transfer switch quickly and safely shifts the load circuit from the normal source of power to the emergency (alternate) source of power. This permits critical loads to continue running with minimal or no outage. After the normal source of power has been restored, the re-transfer process returns the load circuit to the normal power source. Additionally customers can be protected from: Loss of power during a utility power failure Personal injury and generator damage Loss of computer data from extended outages Property loss due to freezing or loss of refrigeration Accidental connection of the generator to the utility Emergency Backup Generator Eaton carries and extensive line of residential/light commercial and portable generators. From powering up some emergency circuits at a small bungalow to running all of the power including security systems, air conditioners and computers in a small office building, Eaton has the solution to meet your needs.Â
