Energy Savings in an instant

Rising energy costs are impossible to ignore and with a standard lighting system – however efficient it might be – all you can do to reduce your bill
is hope that people turn the lights off!

With a RIDI Control3 lighting system that intelligently adjusts output, depending on levels of daylight, and switches off the lights when you’ve gone home, your energy usage can be significantly reduced – helping to save money and decrease your carbon footprint.

Building regulations a breeze

The level of flexibility with Control3 also provides you with the reassurance that your workspace will be fully compliant with Part L2 energy efficiency regulations.

An Intelligent Control Solution

Control 3 is a software based lightin management system that gives you access to all of you building systems from a single interface.

Using standard TCP/IP and DALI, there's no need for unnecessary disruption.

Control3

• Uses existing data network - reducing installation time and costs

• Operates from and PC or network device

• Offers daylight control and absence detection - not just intelligent, essential.

…easy to use…

…for everybody!

Sometimes simplicity is the best approach.

Control3 is fully compatible with both the latest

wireless controls, as well as standard wall switches.

Control3 gives you local lighting control via a simple PC pop up.

• Allows individuals to adjust their environment –essential for both L2 regulations and the comfort of your building users.

Emergency Lighting

In times of power failure, it is essential that you have confidence in your emergency lighting provisions.

Control3 makes testing and recording both quick and trouble free in accordance with BS 5226.

Each emergency luminaire, as well as its mains
counterpart, has its own unique system address and can be programmed to perform self-test procedures at times of low risk.

Should any unit fail, it is listed immediately as a problem and the system can even be set to send notification by email or SMS.

No additional wiring to EM lumianires

Unlike a standalone central test emergency lighting system, all the emergency test data is sent over the same DALI wiring as the control commands, saving even more on installation time and cost.

• Smaller battery packs & gearWide predictable spacings

• Wide predictable spacings

RIDI have embraced the latest LED emergency technology and offer it on a wide range of our products in addition to stand alone packs and exit signs.

Energy and Runtime Logging

Control 3 knows the type and number of each lighting device in your building.  By continuously monitoring the level of every one of them, it builds a database of how much energy the lihting installation is using and how long lamps have been running for.

• Determine energy use for any area

• Check run time to aid in planned relamps

• optimise building use to save energy
