Intelligent building systems better than ever People who are planning to construct or modernise a building want one thing above all: to have their needs for comfort, safety and attractive architecture met under one roof. And all that, of course, at the lowest possible costs. Regardless of whether it is a commercial or private building project. Sooner or later, the question of electrical installations comes up. Nowadays, it is not just a question of where to put the light and electric outlets. After all, the latest innovations in intelligent building technology open up a whole new range of possibilities and applications. These include flexible, wireless control solutions for conversions and renovations, automatic blind control, and central switching functions. Just a few of the many examples you can see for yourself on the next few pages. Innovative technology and design have been recognised for many years all over the world as an unmistakable hallmark. Schneider Electric products embody the symbiosis of technology and design, whether they are switch ranges, movement detectors, or smoke detectors. A multitude of international design prizes also demonstrate that solutions for intelligent buildings are not just of practical value, but also command respect. 3

Because it offers everything that the perfect radio system should offer: simple installation and the decisive factor: reliable connections. Thanks to the most up to date re-routing technology, the new radio system automatically looks for the best pathway to the receiver. It also always checks if the receiver has received the radio signal. If not the signal is routed via another receiver. Regardless of whether activating lighting or lightscenes, operating roller shutters or controlling room temperature, or controlling a wide range of multimedia applications the CONNECT radio system with its numerous possible applications is a real winner and offers the perfect solution for modernisation.

Reassuring and safe ARGUS smoke detector Should every room have a smoke detector? Basically, yes. However, one must still differentiate between minimum protection and optimum protection. The rule of thumb for minimum protection is: a smoke detector in the corridor and bedrooms of every floor. Each one should be mounted on the ceiling. Depending on the individual home situation, several ARGUS smoke detectors can be installed and networked; thereby promising optimum safety and security. Safety from top to bottom. With the newest generation of the proven ARGUS smoke detector system, Schneider Electric offers you uncompromising brand quality and a broad range of smoke detectors for different requirements. ARGUS smoke detector Basic The ARGUS Basic smoke detector is an inexpensive individual retrofitting solution. It is particularly suited for flatlets and single-storey flats. The ARGUS smoke detector is available in two versions, Basic and Longlife, they are battery operated and have a battery life of 3 years and up to 10 years respectively. Example: Retrofitting a 3-room flat ARGUS smoke detector Connect The ARGUS smoke detector Connect is the optimal system for retrofitting a single-family house. The battery operated smoke detectors can be reliably networked to one and other, and that with up to 40 smoke detectors. As soon as a smoke detector detects smoke, it sends a radio signal to the other smoke detectors and they all sound the alarm. ARGUS smoke detector 230 V The ARGUS smoke setector 230 V offers maximum safety from the cellar to the top floor and is particularly well suited for new buildings. Connected to a 230 Volt cable, and always alert. The integrated battery provides continued functional reliability in the event of a power failure Example: Equipping a new home 22

The best for safety and comfort ARGUS movement detector ARGUS surface-mounted movement detectors ARGUS surface-mounted movement detectors have a lot going for them. Not only do they provide adequate lighting in areas far removed from a light switch, they also put uninvited guests into the spotlight whether they want to be or not. ARGUS indoor movement detectors Never get left in the dark again. The light automatically switches on when a person comes within the area of detection of the ARGUS indoor movement detector. This not only means more convenience, safety, and security, but also saves energy, particularly in halls, lobbies, staircases, cellar corridors and infrequently used rooms! illuminating arguments Polar white Aluminium colour Active white 25
Make your building smart Control building functions centrally. Save electricity costs with automated lighting control. Presence-dependent room heating.

Immediate closure of the heating valve when a window is opened. Heat is supplied automatically at the exact time required and individually via controllable room temperature control units. No need to turn the radiators up and down manually. Multi-function push-button, 2-gang with room temperature control unit, frame Merten Artec Flexible building management: schneider-electric@home via touchscreen Flexible adaptation of the building functions when rooms are used for different purposes, e.g. after reorganisation or a move. Worldwide access to the entire building technology system via PDA, PC or touchscreen. Monitoring of windows and doors or underground car parks by sensors that signal all irregularities. Display of loads, performance curves and temperatures, immediate notification in the case of critical temperature overshoots and automatic shutdown of devices at risk. Display of fault signals and automatic forwarding of these signals to the responsible electrician or the building manager. Costly peak loads avoided since loads can be switched on and off in a systematic fashion. 27
