Description of Project

Centralised and local control for each of the 19 suites, meeting rooms, public areas & exterior lighting, seamlessly integrated with the hotel’s central BMS system and third-party Audio Visual equipment.

 

 

Technical Details

Control of over 270 channels of lighting. RS232 gateway interfaces throughout the hotel. LDMS software incorporating Site map and Scheduler by which any part of the system can be programmed or re-configured from one central location.

Design Features

A central touchscreen located in the hotel’s reception, shows maps of the hotel, from which staff can select any pre-programmed scene in any room by touching a related area of the screen. A multi-level password protection function prevents unauthorised use.

A central BMS which includes the hotel’s reservation system integrates with Polaron’s lighting control system to automatically trigger a pre-set ‘welcome’ lighting scene when suites are shown as booked in the system. This in turn switches on the heating or air-conditioning.

Televisions in the suites are also integrated with the system and controlled via Polaron’s control plates. Mirrored stainless steel and antique bronze control plates were made to special order.

Scheduler is incorporated to enable pre-programmed scenes to be triggered at pre-determined times of day.
