The new SCH1000T is a 10-way pluggable lighting control module. Most commercial lighting control products have only eight output ports on the lighting control module which can cause problems when dealing with a regular ceiling grid. The iLight system’s 10 outputs will enable a 3 x 3 or 2 x 5 luminaire matrix, creating shorter cable lengths to the lights, as well as reducing the total number of units required. The system is easy to install since all connections are via a plug and socket arrangement. As part of the iCAN range, the LCM utilizes the iCAN network - a data connection system that connects all of the devices together and enables them to communicate with one another in an intelligent manner. The iCAN network is based on the CAN bus network and uses standard CAT 5 FTP cable for data cabling.
Utilizing the Windows platform, the software has been arranged to use standard Windows methods of selection and navigation presenting the user with a tool for operating the lighting that is familiar and easy to use.
