Genius Education
Overview
The Genius Education system provides a quick and easy solution to your classroom requirements that will reduce energy costs whilst increasing user convenience. Built around a lighting control module loaded with pre-configured classroom scenes, the system allows simple scene adjustment to suit a host of different classroom scenarios.
Incorporating graduated dimming, the system offers maximum energy savings whilst being very easy to install. Using the pre-fixed connecting leads on each luminaire enables quick connection to the lighting control module and significantly reduces installation time.
The system comes complete with luminaires, microwave detector, lighting control module and connecting leads, with an optional scene plate for simple scene selection.
Features
Versatile
A wide range of recessed, surface mounted and suspended luminaires are available on request for the Genius Education system.
Easy Installation
All the luminaires are supplied complete with plugs on 8 m leads to enable easy, plug and play installation. Scene plates and detectors are supplied with 10 m leads.
Graduated Dimming
Ideal for maximising the use of daylight within a space. The luminaires will progressively dim from the natural light source, in response to changes of the natural light levels. This prevents over lighting the space and minimises energy consumption.
Scene Setting
Recall a pre-programmed scene to create specific lighting scenes to suit different uses within the classroom environment, a white board scene.
Simple Commissioning
Commissioning is easy with the Genius Education system, simply select the configuration you desire on the handset and send to the LCM and you have a complete commissioned system. Perfect for quick re-commissioning when there is a change in the room usage.
Emergency Lighting Test
A local emergency test can be carried out by adding an emergency test switch to the dedicated SELV input. This can be linked across multiple lighting control modules to enable a number of rooms to be tested from a single key switch.
Corridor Hold
By connecting the corridor hold output between multiple lighting control modules, create a simple notional corridor route which will provide safe local egress lighting.
SELV Switching
The lighting control modules can have up to 5 centre biased retractive switches connected, including an emergency lighting test switch. This allows non-mains rated cabling to be used for the manual switches without the need for mechanical protection.
