Overview

The Active Circuit Transmitter (ERM-DA) indicates when an electrical circuit is active by transmitting a standard occupancy profile telegram. The state of the monitored circuit can be used to switch or trigger remote events.

Retrofit applications will benefit from the elimination of extra wiring.

Used in a hospitality application, existing key card systems activate circuits based on suite occupancy.

Using the transmitter with these systems allows the facility to gain control over other electrical loads. Suite vacancy can de-energize plug-in appliances like televisions or turn lights off. Wired-in systems such as window blinds can retract to a preset, reducing solar and infrared radiation into the suite.

Other commercial facilities can benefit by adding a transmitter to electrical circuits controlled by other automation systems, processes or switches. Using the device to transmit circuit status can trigger other processes or turn ON or OFF electrical loads, making it easy to expand automation systems or automate manual processes.

The transmitter installs in electrical junction boxes, behind receptacles, wall switches or in light fixtures and is powered by 120 through to 277 VAC (90- 240VAC and a 24VAC/DC models are also available). Assignment of the transmitter to a receiver is as easy as pressing a button.

The transmitter can be used as a telegram repeater increasing the radio range of neighboring Echoflex devices.
