Easy control of lighting scenes

Tridonic
In the mood — TridonicAtco’s x-touchBOX enables lighting moods to be programmed and activated in DALI lighting-control systems.
A new device from TridonicAtco enables task-specific lighting moods to be programmed and activated automatically in all DALI lighting-control systems. The DALI sequencer enables lighting moods to be called up one after the other automatically. x-touchBOX is used with the x-touchPANEL. Up to 99 independent lighting sequences can be stored, each capable of calling up 16 lighting scenes any number of times. Seven schedules can also be defined. These calendar-controlled sequences can be used in offices to call up different scenes at the start of the working day, the end and overnight. Another procedure can be selected at weekends. This plug-and-play solution requires only two cables to be connected — the mains cable and the DALI control cable.
