Vantage Controls

Properly designed lighting, while often overlooked, can transform your home from a work of art into a masterpiece. Lighting scenes are tailored to match your ever-changing moods. Architectural details, landscape features and treasured heirlooms are all showcased for maximum impact.
Vantage is uniquely positioned to put your home in its best light with everything from elegantly simple keypads, touch screens and remote controls to industry-leading controllers, dimmers, sensors and enclosures. http://www.vantagecontrols.com/

It all starts with Vantage Control's Infusion Controller. This controller is one of the most powerful home system controllers available. The product features a fast processor and large memory capacity which provides delay free control of large complex systems. One InFusion Controller can support up to 120 WireLink stations and up to 120 RadioLink stations. Controllers can easily network to expand the system further. Five RS-232 ports provide easy device connectivity while an ethernet connection supports IP full connectivity.

A networked home, apartment complex or luxury yacht will have a variety of controlled subsystems, including lighting, audio/video, security and climate control. The InFusion Controller provides seemless integration of those subsystems - enhancing the entire home control experience.

120 VOLT FUSED SCR DIMMING MODULE

The Vantage Standard Dimmer Module controls dimmable loads including incandescent, some fluorescent lighting, magnetic low voltage, some electronic low voltage, neon, cold cathode and variable speed motors. With its eight-load, 40-amp capacity, this module provides smooth dimming over long fade times. Fuse protected line feeds safeguard the module from shorted loads. In the event of a short, the module would remain intact and only the included fuse would need to be replaced. Additionally, each module is self powered which allows connected lights to stay lit even if the Master Controller is removed. Each module is designed to easily plug into a Vantage enclosure. All AC wiring is terminated into screw terminal connectors behind the module fitting in the enclosure. This feature allows the Standard Dimmer Module to quickly clip into place after the building has been finished, eliminating the potential for damage during construction.

36v Main Power Enclosure (4) Module

Vantage's Main Power Enclosure houses either an Infusion or QLink Controller and up to four separate modules. The enclosure was specifically designed to aid the installer for quick installation of a Vantage system. It is available in 2 or 4 module configurations. Each enclosure features plug-and-play module fittings to facilitate quick and easy installations. These fitting sallow up to four, 20-amp load circuits per module. It has a lockable quick-release latch and an opening in the cover to give installers easier access to the controllers. The Vantage Enclosure is a perfect fit for any residential or commercial project.

ScenePoint Dimmers

The Wirelink ScenePoint station is a standard wall box dimmer that also connects to the Vantage system. It is powered by the local line feed, and may be pre-wired or replace a standard high voltage wall switch. ScenePoint dimmers feature a 600–2000 watt at 120V and 1200-4000 watt at 240V dimmer (single gang to four gang) that connects to high voltage wiring within the box for local lighting control. It also connects to the Vantage system with two-way communication for centralized control of the lighting circuit via the Vantage two-wire station bus.

Vantage EM-LIGHT SENSOR

The Vantage EM-Light Sensor enhances the abilities of a Vantage System by using detected light levels to trigger tasks. Inconspicuously mounted in either the ceiling or wall, the directional detection compact lens senses ambient light levels and triggers lights, draperies and shades, security cameras or other devices connected to the Vantage System.

Using a process known as “daylight-harvesting” lighting levels can be maintained at a pre-determined and consistent level by measuring light in a specific area and relaying the information back to the Vantage System. With this information the Vantage System uses ambient light in combination with the lighting system in the home to maintain the ideal illumination levels.

Fast Fact:
Extend your bulbs, a 1500 hour Incandescent lamp will last nearly 10 years when dimmed 33% and used 3 hours a day. Expand your wallet, dimming all or most of your lights just 25% saves 5% in total overall energy consumption on average
Change your bulbs, installing lower wattage halogen lamps in place of incandescent lights can reduce energy needs as much as 25%. Help save the planet, installing 1 Vantage Dimmer in every home in the US would save $230 million in electricity per year and reduce CO2 emissions by 4.3 billion pounds per year. That is the equivalent taking 370,000 cars of the road. http://rticorp.com/markets/default.html
