ACCESS CONTROL Connectivity Platform Provides Cost-Effective, Effi cient Access Solution Allegion's new ENGAGE technology makes it easy to connect people, open- ings and access together, delivering cost- ef ective intelligence and ef ciency to any facility. The series simplifi es instal- lation by combining the lock, credential reader, door position sensor and request-to-exit switch all in one unit. ENGAGE cloud-based web and mobile applications make it simple to manage and confi gure locks. For customers looking for basic capabilities, the mobile application is used to manage locks, add and delete credentials and view lock history from anywhere. For customers looking for more advanced capabilities, it is used to confi gure and connect locks to an access control alliance partner system.

POWER TESTING Load Bank Control System Optimizes Power Testing Workfl ow Emerson Network Power's Avtron Sigma 2 Load Bank Control System optimizes power testing workfl ow, saving time and manpower, by daisy chaining up to 14 portable load banks to test, set up and adjust gen-sets and uninterruptible power systems. The control system, with advanced microprocessor-based control and instrumentation, is developed for load bank applications. Every Sigma-con- trolled load bank has its own embedded control unit complete with high-accuracy voltage and current transformers. ID#105 LED TROFFERS PROVIDE BETTER LIGHTING EXPERIENCE WITH INNOVATIVE DESIGN, SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE Cree, Inc.'s new LR22 LED troffer is a fully luminous, highly dif- fused architectural fi xture. The troffer incorporates a recessed fl at panel design that creates an appealing and quiet aesthetic to seamlessly blend into any ceiling. Offered in both neutral and cool color temperatures of 3500K and 4000K, the new troffer can deliver energy savings of up to 40 percent compared to fl uorescent light- ing and is backed by a 10-year warranty. Featuring on-board 0-10V dimming capabilities, the new troffer allows for increased design fl exibility in addition to increased en- ergy savings and reduced main- tenance savings when utilizing continuous dimming or energy saving controls. ID#109 CEILING SYSTEM OPTIMIZES ORS FOR FUTURE Walters Healthcare Resources has launched the new In-Dapt OR Ceiling System, a comprehensive, fi ve-compo- nent system that revolutionizes the way hospital OR ceilings are built, saving construction time, money and ensur- ing long-term value for hospitals. The system fast-tracks and future-proofs OR renovations, making it possible for hospitals to speed new technology adoption without costly ceiling re-construction, lowering the total cost of ownership over many years of use. Its patent-pending design pro- vides the fl exibility to locate or change OR equipment in a matter of hours, versus weeks or months required for traditionally constructed or other modular, single large diffuser ceilings, among many other advantages. ID#108 LIGHTING Enhance Patient Rooms with Dimmed-Lighting Control Dimmed lighting with a single-button control found at most patient bedsides can now be included in patient rooms with the new Low Voltage Control Interface with Dim- ming by Oldenburg Electronics. The LVPC-DIM module adds dimming capability of two lighting loads via low-voltage, momentary contact switches. Press and release the button to turn the lights on and of ; press and hold the button to dim up or down. Dimmed lighting can enhance the patient experience by provid- ing individual control of the environment. LED or fl uorescent loads can be dimmed when used with 0-10 volt dimming LED drivers or fl uorescent ballasts. One additional load can be controlled with on/of . No program- ming is necessary; it is confi gured in the fi eld using DIP switches.
