DLC200 LightHarvester Intelligent Mashalling Box with Daylight Harvesting

Durable Technologies DLC200 LightHarvester Light Controller with Daylight Harvesting.

 

The Durable Technologies DLC200 Intelligent Mashalling Box with Daylight Harvesting is a high performance, low cost, lighting controller with unique features that surpass those of more expensive competitor devices. Durable Technologies examined every aspect of lighting control to design and produce the DLC200, which outperforms existing competitor products while reducing installation and running costs, carbon footprint and commissioning time.

  • Low Cost — Up to 64 DSI or DALI ballasts per controller, share sensor information between channels.
  • Save Money — Reduce overall lighting energy consumption up to 80% Complies with Part L of UK building regulations, improve your BREAME / LEED rating, improve you Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
  • Reduce Carbon — Easy and significant Carbon Footprint reduction.
  • Fast, Easy Installation — using industry standard Wieland Gesis modular connectors, Fast commissioning without specialised training.
  • Long Service Life — Standard 3 year warranty. 

Daylight Harvesting — The DLC200 uses the DLS200 sensor head to sample light levels and constantly adjusts artificial output to augment natural light from windows, giving steady, comfortable illumination while achieving energy reductions of between 20% to 60%

Offset Dimming — an extension of daylight harvesting, Offset Dimming works with up to 3 lighting circuits to tier the rate of dimming. Even only using one DLS200 sensor in a room, the DLC200 calculates individual lighting levels for up to three lighting circuits, typically three rows of lights stepping back from the window, further reducing energy needs.

Two Stage Time-Out — Switching lamps on/off more than 8 times in 24 hours can drastically reduce their operational life, quickly eliminating any energy cost savings. The DLC200 uses Two Stage Time-Out to prolong fluorescent lamp operational life, by dimming lights in low traffic areas that must maintain always-on illumination (like hotel corridors) by 90%, switching back to full power when presence is detected. This gives energy savings AND increased lamp life, yielding true, dramatic cost benefits.

Presence and Absence Detection — Using the DLS200 sensor, the DLC200 automatically switches on lights when an area becomes occupied and automatically switch them off again when the area becomes unoccupied. No switches required. This technique is ideal for large, open plan areas, corridors etc. Absence Detection goes beyond the energy savings of presence detection by utilising a conventional wall switch to turn lights on and off as normal, but with presence detection always ensuring lights are switched off once the area is vacated. Great for offices and conference rooms. When used with Two Stage Time-Out, occupants are not plunged into darkness without warning, the Two Stage Time-Out indicating the impending lights-out situation to occupants.

Auxiliary Output — Use the presence detection of DLC200 and DLS200 combination to drive other applications, for instance switching on/off the HVAC when a room is occupied/vacated. 

Low Cost Scene Settings — Scene Setting is a common feature of Lighting Controllers, but competitor products require costly switcheswith 4 or more buttons. The DLC200 uses low cost single button conventional wall switches to achieve Scene Setting, saving at least 90% of the cost per switch compared to the multi-function alternatives

DLC150 LightHarvester Intelligent Marshalling Box

DLC150 Light Control Module

 

The Durable Technologies DLC150 Intelligent Marshalling Box with Daylight Harvesting is a high performance, low cost, marshalling box with unique features that surpass those of more expensive competitor devices. Durable Technologies examined every aspect of lighting control to design and produce the DLC150, which outperforms existing competitor products while reducing installation and running costs, carbon footprint and commissioning time.

  • Low Cost — Self contained module with advanced features, share sensor information between channels.
  • Save Money — Reduce overall lighting energy consumption up to 50% Complies with Part L of UK building regulations, improve your BREAME rating, improve you Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
  • Reduce Carbon — Easy and significant Carbon Footprint reduction.
  • Fast, Easy Installation — using industry standard Wieland Gesis modular connectors, Fast commissioning without specialised training.
  • Long Service Life — Standard 3 year warranty. 

Presence Detection — The DLC150 Intelligent Mashalling Box with Daylight harvesting uses DLS200/210 PIR Presence Detectors to automatically switch on the lights when an area becomes occupied and automatically switches them off again when the area becomes unoccupied

No switches are needed and this technique is ideal for large open plan areas, corridors etc.

Absence Detection — Utilising a conventional wall switch working in conjunction with Presence Detectors the DLC150 Light Control Module with Daylight Harvesting can turn lights on and off as normal, but always ensures the light is never left on once the area is vacated.

Great for cellular offices, meeting rooms etc.

Shared Sensor Output — When there is a small area that only requires one Presence Detector it is common to add a second sensor to control the Daylight Linking. The DLC150 allows for one sensor to provide Presence for multiple outputs whilst allowing the Light Sensor to independently switch the outputs off when the required light level is exceeded. Up to three levels of light can be set using the Offset function.

Emergency Test — When a building’s emergency lights are supported by an internal battery the charging circuit needs a dedicated AC power supply. This is provided as standard on all outputs eliminating the need for a separate circuit, reducing installation and infrastructure costs.

To comply with statutory testing the DLC150 Intelligent Marshalling Box with Daylight Harvesting has the internal test function as standard allowing individual modules or large groups to be tested simultaneously using a single key switch, simulating a power cut.

DLC100 Intelligent Marshalling Box with Daylight Harvesting

DLC100 Light Control Module with Daylight Harvesting

The DLC100 Intelligent Marshalling Box with Daylight Harvesting is a low cost, intelligent marshelling box designed for commercial lighting applications, which dramatically reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint by utilising natural light, presence detection and absence detection to automatically switch off lighting when not needed.

The DLC100 is 'self configuring' with easy to set-up parameters via an intelligent configuration interface  that reduces costly commissioning time and is easily configured by installing electricians and does not need third party, skilled (and expensive) commissioning engineers.
