Actionair controls upgrade is boost for fire safety


Metrel vehicle charging adapter tests the whole system


share of an exponentially growing market. The EVSE Adapter A 1532 plugs directly into charge


M


points without opening the box. One of the immediate advantages is that the adapter accesses the charge point in the same manner as an electric vehicle so testing the system as whole. It can thoroughly test the charge point by simulating the electric vehicle status, disconnected, charge ready, active charging (with and without ventilation) and pilot error just by turning a switch. The EVSE Adaptor can test installations with output currents up to 63A. From the first of January, vehicle charging points


can be protected by either a RCD type B or a “RCD type A and appropriate equipment that ensures disconnection of the supply in case of a DC fault above 6 mA” according to the 18th Edition. While many testers can check type B RCDs, only Metrel is able to test the 30 mA AC and 6 mA DC called for in the 18th Edition. While this adapter will work with all Metrel


installation testers the optimal performance is gained when used with the MI 3152, which offers Auto Sequence® testing and leads the test engineer through the procedure ensuring that all the measurements have been taken to complete a certificate. The A 1532 EVSE adapter can connect any


installation tester to a charge point via a BS 1363 socket, and all 3phases are accessible for individual tests using the standard 4 mm connections. Connection to the charge point is via the type 2 male plug.

etrel, the innovator in electrical test solutions, has a vehicle charging point test adapter to help contractors increase their


facilities managers and emergency services for more flexible operation and testing of fire and smoke dampers by significantly upgrading its Actionair Actionpac controls packages. In the event of a fire,


S


dampers should close immediately to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through the ducting or open when needed to enable smoke extraction. The way they are controlled plays a vital role in keeping escape routes open and allowing access for firefighters.


The Actionpac LNS5 intelligent


addressable life safety damper system is a flexible and sophisticated package designed specifically for the control of smoke and fire dampers. In many cases fire alarm systems are used to control dampers, but this strategy does not offer the flexible and sophisticated operation that is built into the Actionpac system. More basic approaches simply shut every damper in the building in the event of a fire whereas the LNS5 offers control of each individual damper. The system has been updated to add a number of important new features to its widely used predecessor Actionpac LNS4, which already provided the ability to manage multiple dampers from a single simple interface without the need for additional hardware. Swegon believes this is critical for the safety of buildings and can also provide lifetime cost savings for building owners.


Hybrid hot water and power, the future for existing buildings


at least 80% by 2050, relative to 1990 levels. While much focus has been placed on the application of renewable technologies for new and offgas grid domestic dwellings throughout the 2020s, by far the greatest potential for addressing change comes through the refurbishment of systems within existing buildings. Especially those throughout the commercial sector that exhibit high, consistent demand for hot water, heat and power. What then is the answer to

computer for reliability and is simple to use and install. It is based around a twocore network cable that communicates with the local interfaces at each damper. This significantly reduces wiring costs compared to more conventional hardwired solutions. Heat and smoke detectors can be fitted


directly into the damper interface, either to control the damper to which it is fitted or other dampers within the system. It can also be linked to a local test switch enabling dampers to be conveniently and easily tested remotely or via the test function available at the panel. The system can also be scheduled to automatically test dampers on a regular basis and provides remote access for checking and maintenance. The LNS5 is designed to work on


interoperable open protocol platforms and can also be linked to the building management system (BMS). This open system approach provides considerable lifecycle benefits to the end client for ongoing operation and maintenance.

ble to trace their history back over seven centuries to 1413, today the oldest


university in Scotland, has many proud boasts. Offering four faculties, that serve nearly 8,000 students and with a world renowned reputation, this is a university that is fully committed to achieving the highest standards. These ambitions can be seen in


every aspect of the university’s operation, which includes aspiring to reach stringent environmental and energy efficiency objectives. To help to achieve this, Grundfos Pumps have been working closely with key university estate specialists, who play a key role in ensuring that all the M&E services are effectively and efficiently delivered, so as to ensure that the pumps and pump systems deliver maximum efficiencies. Working collaboratively, the


Grundfos and local onsite team have achieved some really impressive savings. For example, an upgraded installation at one site alone will save 206978 kWh,

that time saved on site is hugely beneficial for developers, contractors and housing associations alike, helping to reduce project costs and enabling residents to occupy properties as quickly as possible. With this in mind, Evinox Energy has introduced remote commissioning and warranty validation for their ModuSat heat interface units (HIUs), which can significantly reduce the cost of commissioning and time spent on site by engineers manually checking and adjusting settings. Many other heat

interface units for communal and district heating developments require an engineer to physically attend site to setup every individual unit manually, adding time and cost to the project. Evinox’s electronically controlled ModuSat HIU’s feature SmartTalk communication technology and can be connected over the internet to remote servers, enabling Evinox to check the operation of each unit remotely and adjust settings where required.

which is equal to £22,768 p.a. Savings of this nature are genuinely achievable, when you look at the whole life cycle cost relating to a pump or pumping system as the purchase price is a very small part of the equation. What this means is that, 85% of the total life cycle cost of any pump system is attributable to the energy that is required to run the pumps, meaning this is the area that should be focussed on.

facility could save, contact Grundfos who have the pumps, knowledge and after sales skills to enable you to benefit significantly. For more information visit:

Evinox’s SmartTalk® communication system enables them to carry out scheduled maintenance checks remotely over the internet. The system in each apartment can be fully controlled remotely, including timings and settings, with remote diagnostic capability and client support. This can avoid unnecessary callouts as a result of user error. Fault alarms can also be checked by testing the operation of components. Evinox offer aftercare service and maintenance plans that are available with one or twoyear contracts providing flexibility, and additionally, combined packages for energy billing and maintenance, all under one roof and with discounts available.
