WHAT’S NEW? TC Security Services Awarded
100% Achilles Audit Following a rigorous two- day assessment, TC Facilities Management (TCFM) has successfully completed their ‘Achilles’ annual audit for the third consecutive year. The audit saw a score of 100% being awarded in all four key areas that the audit measures: corporate social responsibility, health and safety, environment, and quality.

Carlo Gavazzi Launches
Tunable Lighting Control Carlo Gavazzi’s has launched its new DALI Gateway the SB2DALIT8230, which supports the latest trend in commercial lighting – the possibility to adjust the colour temperature in addition to controlling the light level.
The colour temperature can be adjusted automatically in such a way to mimic the circadian rhythm, by changing the LED’s colour temperature from warm white (2700K) all the way to cool white (6500K) over the course of the day.
The auditor was particularly impressed by the design and navigation of the training matrix in use; the use of the site visit report which is now exclusively recorded electronically to assess staff well- being and that on-site processes are adhered to; its down-to-earth approach, doing what it says it do in a straightforward and uncomplicated way; and its implementation of Project Griffin principles which demonstrate their awareness of overall security and well-being of the client’s staff.

Lighting has a profound effect on the human body and affects how we all feel and function; adjusting light intensity can create energising, relaxing and productive lighting modes.

of a Dupline system. Dupline bus wiring topology is completely free which means the installation can be carried out using the lowest cost route rather than just multi dropping from sensor to sensor. Either way this solution is easier and cheaper than traditional parallel wiring, which also reduces the number of DDC’s and sub-panels required and provides higher flexibility for last minute changes and enhancements.
A simple unscreened two core bus cable is all that is required to make the Dupline connection, a four core cable can be used to transmit the power around with the Dupline bus for when you need to power the environmental sensors. CO2 + Temperature + Humidity information is converted from 0/4-20mA to Dupline locally before being transmitted back over the Dupline network to the controller.
Applications suit offices, schools, retail spaces, and healthcare environments.
