Conventional Description
The example to the right shows the lighting in a living/dining area.
The lighting that we wish to control is as follows:-
1) The Standard Lamp in the living area 1 x 100w GLS lamp plugged into the local socket.
2) The fire place feature light 120w of Low voltage festoon lamps plugged into the local socket.
3)The living area pendant light 1 x 100w GLS lamp wired on the normal lighting circuit.
4)The dining area pendant light 1 x 100w GLS lamp wired on the normal lighting circuit.
5) The cabinet lighting 3 x 50w Low voltage Tungsten halogen lights plugged
into the local socket.
Rako Lighting Controls
The Rako lighting control system can be used throughout any home in living
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home theatres, halls, landings and even
garden lighting. The equipment has been designed for ease of installation
without the need for complete re-wiring. Because the system uses coded
FM radio, control wiring is not required allowing push button controls
to be mounted anywhere with out the need for expensive and disruptive
building work.Interfacing with audio visual and other auxiliary systems
is made easy with Rako's range of accessories.
The system has fully programmable scene-set capability allowing different
mood lighting to be selected at the push of a button. With a smooth cross
fading between scenes true elegance is achieved. Below we have shown a
typical lighting layout for a living/dining room. The scheme indicates
how it is currently likely to be wired. On the second schematic we show
how the Rako system can be implemented easily into the existing wiring
with the minimum of disruption.
Conventional Wiring
Rako Description
In this example we are controlling all the lighting in the main living
area.
The lighting that we wish to control is as follows:-
1) The Standard Lamp in the living area 1 x 100w GLS lamp. (Control Channel 1) We use the RDL500L wired in line with the supply wiring and plugged into the local socket.
2) The fire place feature light 120w of Low voltage festoon lamps. (Control Channel 2) We use the RDL500L wired in line with the supply wiring and plugged into the local socket.
3)The living area pendent light 1 x 100w GLS lamp.
(Control Channel 3) We use the RDL500C wired in line with the pendent
wiring and located in the ceiling.
4)The dining area pendent light 1 x 100w GLS lamp.
(Control Channel 4)We use the RDL500C wired in line with the pendent wiring
and located in the ceiling.
5) The cabinet lighting 3 x 50w Low voltage Tungsten halogen lights .
(Control Channel 5) We use the RDL500L wired in line with the supply wiring
and plugged into the local socket.
Rako Wiring
One 7 button 4 Scene plus off with manual raise lower was used RCP07-C
with a RPP07-SS brushed stainless steel cover plate to match the interior
decor.
This replaces and the existing switch plate and can be fitted over the
single gang back box. The existing switch line wiring is simply by-passed.
The System now controls all the lighting giving 4 preset scenes plus off
with a manual raise lower override. You can also use the RAH07 hand held
RF controller which mimics the controls on the wall plate from the comfort
of your chair.
