| Just one wireless device for everything  Comfort around the home starts with roller shutters: It is much easier to open them at the push of a button than manually. And the intelligent handheld transmitters from Becker-Antriebe allow easy operation from the comfort of a chair. The TC4410-II is the flagship of the Becker Centronic control unit range. It provides wireless control of roller shutters, awnings and even radio controlled sockets. It boasts more than 10 transmission channels. In real terms, this means: All the roller shutters and a sun protection system in a home can be operated with just one transmitter. They are either controlled individually or in freely selectable groups. For instance, all the roller shutters on the first floor of a maisonette apartment can be closed at the push of a button.The transmitters are equipped with top-quality electronics which automatically control roller shutters, for example: The roller shutters automatically open and close at sunrise and sunset respectively, or at individually selected times. This so-called 'astro function' is an important factor for saving energy: During the hours of darkness, heat is not lost through windows due to open roller shutters. Furthermore, switching times no longer have to be set manually depending on the time of the year. The TC4410-II enables the programming of so-called "scenarios". This means that it can control several appliances at the same time. For instance, create the perfect conditions for watching TV: The roller shutter next to the TV set closes, just like the one on the patio door, and the standard lamp is switched on via the radio-controlled socket. At the push of a button there is no more annoying glare or reflection on the TV screen from sunlight. Automation also provides further advantages: The holiday function creates the perception that your home is occupied even when you are away – by randomly varying the roller shutter opening and closing times every day. That is a real deterrent to would-be thieves. In spite of the numerous options, it is possible to retain an overview: LEDs provide information about the channel number and the status and exchangeable labels allow the clear labelling of functions. The stylish design has also been well received by experts: The "younger brother" of the TC4410-II transmitter, the TC445-II, was awarded the renowned "red dot" design prize in 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
