Schneider Electric South Africa has introduced the company’s Acti 9 Control, a complete final distribution system that provides innovative load monitoring and control and safe and simple installation and maintenance. Acti 9 Control connects to any facility management system to become an essential element of any energy efficient solution.
In the past, integrating final distribution panels with facility management solutions could be a challenge. Running control and communication cabling, in addition to electrical wiring, could be complex, error prone, and time consuming, while system integrators and panel designers had to ensure their distribution panels performed and communicated correctly.
“We understand the need for simple error-free installation, performance and maintenance,” says Sibusiso Skosana, LV product marketing manager at Schneider Electric South Africa. “That is why Schneider Electric designed the Acti 9 Control range and its Smartlink communication system to be simple to use, ready to connect and easily integrated with facility management architecture. It combines basic control with optimum protection to become a major component of energy efficiency solutions, even in the most demanding environments.”
With flexible and robust Modbus communications and prefabricated wiring for error proof connectivity, Acti 9 Control saves up to 40% of time spent with control wiring. Plus, with real-time data coming from panels and circuits, customers can truly fine-tune their electrical loads to reduce costs, allocate costs and manage energy supply.
The system auto-adapts to customer parameters so it can integrate quickly and adjust to any future requirements. Other components such as the integrated control circuit breaker Reflex iC60, remote control auxiliary RCA iC60, energy meters, contactors and impulse relays work seamlessly with the entire modular system, perfect in a wide variety of energy utilisation applications. Exclusive features like VisiSafe, VisiTrip and a Class 2 front face make the system safe to use and easy to maintain.
Acti 9 allows for efficient building management, eliminated downtime and a more competitive business. All products are made from 100% recyclable and recoverable materials, allowing customers to meet environmental certifications and requirements both now and in the future.
