Simple. Scalable. Insightful.
In today's world, our buildings are at the heart of our daily activities, serving as workplaces, shopping destinations, and service hubs. However, they come at a significant environmental cost, responsible for 40% of global energy consumption and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. The urgent need for smarter, more efficient, and eco-friendly building management systems has never been clearer. Enter Cooper WaveLinx, a pioneering lighting control system that promises to transform the way we manage our buildings.
Introducing WaveLinx
How does WaveLinx work?
WaveLinx represents a cutting-edge system that seamlessly integrates wired and wireless devices to manage lighting across various spaces. Whether you're seeking lighting control for a single room or a complex network of spaces, WaveLinx offers a versatile solution. Here's a closer look at its functionality:
Single Space Control: In individual rooms, you can choose between wired CAT devices or wireless LITE devices. This adaptability ensures that WaveLinx can cater to your specific requirements.
Connected Spaces: When dealing with multiple spaces, you can employ wired CAT and/or wireless PRO devices. These devices can be interconnected via the WaveLinx Area Controller, creating a unified lighting control system spanning your entire building.
Remote Management: For remote management and data exchange, WaveLinx provides the CORE on-premises server. This server features standard and proprietary interfaces like BACnet®/IP, OpenADR, APIs, and visualization applications, streamlining the monitoring and management of your lighting system from any location.
WaveLinx Advantages
Simple to Design
Code Compliance: WaveLinx is meticulously designed to comply with all North American energy codes. It autonomously manages lighting, emergency lighting, and plug loads based on occupancy, time-based events, and demand response signals, including OpenADR. This ensures your building remains energy-efficient and compliant with regulations.
Scalability: WaveLinx simplifies the process of specifying and designing a hybrid digital lighting control system. CAT5 wired control devices are plug-and-play, and wireless control devices can be easily configured using the mobile app.
Luminaire Level Lighting Control (LLLC): Cooper Lighting Solutions offers an extensive range of WaveLinx-enabled luminaires suitable for various applications, including indoor and outdoor use, as well as low-bay and high-bay installations. This grants you precise control at the individual luminaire level.
Different Technologies, One System: Whether you prefer wired or wireless lighting control devices, WaveLinx Area Controller bridges the gap, creating a single, comprehensive digital lighting control system that seamlessly integrates both technologies.
Simple to Install
Simplified Wiring: Wired devices feature RJ45 connections and CAT5 cables for both control and powering devices. On the other hand, wireless devices eliminate the need for communication wiring. Factory-programmed switchpacks self-commission, while keypad and ceiling sensors provide intuitive control over a room's lights. Mobile devices and the WaveLinx app allow for quick adjustments to zoning, keypad settings, or sensor configurations.
Faster Installation: WaveLinx wireless devices and WaveLinx-enabled luminaires don't require intricate wiring connections, resulting in quicker, more cost-effective installations with reduced labor hours.
Less Programming: WaveLinx simplifies the programming process. Factory zone-assigned load controllers and luminaires with integrated sensors in out-of-box mode require no additional programming to control spaces effectively.
Easy App-Based Configuration: Connecting control devices and customizing a space is effortless with WaveLinx apps and any smart device. Code-compliant templates and default settings significantly reduce programming time, making it more efficient and accessible.
WaveLinx Control Devices
WaveLinx offers a range of control devices to suit various needs:
Controllers and Smart Platform: These devices provide the intelligence behind the WaveLinx system, enabling comprehensive control and management.
Sensors: Sensors play a crucial role in optimizing lighting based on occupancy and daylight harvesting, enhancing energy efficiency.
Load Controllers: Load controllers ensure precise control of lighting loads, helping you achieve optimal energy savings.
Wallstations: Wallstations provide a user-friendly interface for occupants to adjust lighting settings as needed.
WaveLinx by Cooper Lighting Solutions, in collaboration with Power-Flo Technologies, is a game-changer in the world of building automation. It offers simplicity in design, ease of installation, and powerful control capabilities. By implementing WaveLinx, made possible through Power-Flo Technologies, you can make your building smarter, more energy-efficient, and contribute to a greener future. It's time to take the first step towards smarter buildings with WaveLinx. Simple. Scalable. Insightful.
