Sample projects are used to clearly demonstrate and practice the most important functions with the Gamma training kit. Numerous applications can be easily simulated with the Gamma training kit. KNX in action a case full of knowledge Illustrate, simulate and master the applications of the Gamma building control. Fit for KNX, IP and DALI Anyone who wants to work with the pioneering Gamma building control system must be trained on KNX, IP and DALI. Because it s KNX that connects the disciplines lighting, shading, heating and ventilation for greater comfort, security and cost efficiency. KNXnet/IP offers solutions for location-independent networking, while the DALI bus is increasingly gaining acceptance in lighting technology. With the Gamma training kit, you can clearly demonstrate to your customers the use of the Gamma building control. For use in schools The Gamma training kit is of particular interest to vocational schools, trade guilds and other educational institutions. For what s the use if an electrical apprentice can manage standard jobs like wiring, but has no idea what to do with KNX, IP and DALI? 8 Demonstrating numerous functions Every building places different demands on building control. That s why you can use the Gamma training kit to simulate a variety of applications: Conference rooms: dimmable lighting, blinds, heating, cooling, window contacts, wind alarm Staircase: lighting Offices: dimmable lighting, blinds You can also control all functions wirelessly using the IR hand-held transmitter. The right equipment for every requirement The Gamma training kit offers maximum flexibility. The functions in detail: 6 x dimmable LED lights 6 x dimmable LED lights with DALI 4 x blinds simulation proportional with slat position Windows open/closed simulation Heating/cooling simulation proportional with LED Exchangeable images of models Separate flush mounting application modules Display using touch panel and LAN module Easy to handle in a trolley case We offer the Gamma training kit in a trolley design. It is operated entirely from the front and so is very clearly laid out. The case also gives you storage space for accessories. All components including the distribution board panel, built-in devices and control elements are from Siemens. This ensures that they all match.
