Lighting management is as simple as A B C-Bus

Simple and effective lighting management

Electrical installations in commercial, industrial and residential buildings have now become radically simplified. Cabling costs have been reduced and a personal computer is now the integral tool of the electrical contractor. Lights can be programmed to switch off when no one is in a room or when there is sufficient natural light. Banks of lights can be monitored by a computer and simultaneously dimmed with the touch of a key. Subsequent alterations to the installation are simply keyed in, without the need for expensive rewiring.

The "system" is called Clipsal Bus (C-Bus), a fully programmable lighting management system designed to provide effective lighting and to transform energy savings into reduced power bills.

Driven by software developed specifically for C-Bus, each key input and load module has a built-in microprocessor which can be programmed to perform a multitude of effective lighting tasks. Once programmed, C-Bus may operate without a computer as a stand alone system, however, the system's capabilities are enhanced when networked to a computer.

The system is also economical to install, with a dramatically reduced need for costly mains cable. Instead, the C-Bus maximises inexpensive Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable to minimise installation costs and installation time.

C-Bus is the simplest and most cost efficient lighting management system of its type. Designed and built by Clipsal, Australia's leading manufacturer of electrical accessories, C-Bus is confirmation that Clipsal ingenuity and technology is at the international forefront of innovation, not tomorrow but today.
