TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL Ecosystem Controls


range of person detectors and light level sensors which are designed to operate with a number of the leading “ecosystem” technologies. An “ecosystem” can be described as a network of devices which intercommunicate and perform several tasks within a building or beyond.


U Ecosystems typically use communications such as


Bluetooth – removing the need for wiring between the devices in the network. There is, for example, no need for wires to carry power between a person detector and the lights which it is controlling. Nor is there need for the com- munication bus wiring required in some conventional, wired lighting control system.


An authorized person can set up or re-program the


functions of an ecosystem without having to physically rewire the devices – saving time and money.


Ecosystems are now bringing in newer features too,


such as the ability to track tagged assets within a building. Applications include locating pallets of goods in warehous- es and locating medical equipment in hospitals.

GORE® PYRAD® Protective Garments: Class 2 Arc Rated PPE Designed To Last I


t's a complex process kiting out electrical workers in PPE. Once safety regulations and risk assessments are reviewed and adhered to, then comes the pressure or


temptation to buy products that are the cheapest option available. A quick fix, yes but false economy, most certainly. Durable protection from quality garments will last longer, need replacing less and offer value for money com-


pared to purchasing cheaper less technical options which at best, will quickly wear out and at worst, not actually provide the correct protection levels needed. Established and trusted PPE manufacturers will offer wearer trials for end users but also provide scientific proof of the durability and safety of their products. Take, for example, Arc rated GORE® PYRAD® Protective Clothing. These multi norm coveralls, jackets and trousers


undergo a series of rigorous tests, including the Open Arc Test and the Box Test at both Class 1 and Class 2 before being fit for purpose. Tests for durability, breathability and laundering longevity ensure that the garments will last, remain comfortable and continuously provide high level protection. Added up, this represents much better value in the long run.
