Energy column - With the energy columns available in the eibabo online shop, you have the option of making electricity available anywhere outside on your property. For example operating a pump to water your lawn, listening to the radio in the pavilion, connecting heating elements on the terrace or decorating the garden with Christmas elements. It is always practical to have flexible access to electrical energy all year round. Energy columns are waterproof profiles made of aluminum or other corrosion-protected metal and offer space for the installation of different end devices. These can be sockets, but also light switches, door openers or bell buttons. Some of them are equipped with a lamp and thus also serve as a lighting element. They are fastened either with a ground spike, a base plate or you create a foundation beforehand on which the column can then be mounted. But it doesn't always have to be pillars. Outdoor energy distributors, for example, are made of plastic, look like stones at first glance and can therefore be distributed very discreetly in the garden.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Light/energy pole you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bollard lightConnection columnEmpty unitsEnergy bollardEnergy columnEnergy columnsEnergy distributorEnergy poleGarden lightGarden pillarGarden socketGarden/energy columnGround socketLight and energy poleLight/energy columnLight/energy poleMultifunction slatPanelPillar of lightSocket columnSocket spikeTouch protectionfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Energy column:Albert LeuchtenBachmannBEGA GantenbrinkBöhmerEgloEVNGiraHagerMennekesNiedaxTrio-LeuchtenWibre

Front element indicator lamp - Indicator lights are optical information and warning signals that are used in both industrial and private areas. Your task is as simple as it is unmistakable. With a simple ON and OFF display of a light bulb, the current operating status can be displayed and information about the functionality can be displayed. The classic example are the light signals of the control panel of an industrial plant. There you can see red, yellow, blue or green lights, which provide the operator with all the important information to monitor the condition of his machine. The door opening buttons on the bus or other public transport are also a kind of indicator light. If they light up red, the doors cannot be opened, if the color changes to green, the door can be opened. Such indicator lights are then combined with a button. Since the illuminant usually only produces white light, the different colors are produced using front elements made of colored plastic. These are available in the eibabo online shop in all common colors and are compatible with the basic elements, switch blocks and bases that are also available here.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Low-voltage industrial components > Front element for indicator light you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorCommand and signaling deviceCommand deviceControl unitDouble push buttonDual keyDual push buttonFlareFront element for indicator lightFront element for indicator lightsFront element illuminated buttonFront element indicator lightGlow lampIlluminated button actuatorIlluminated button attachmentIlluminated pushbutton switchIndicator actuatorIndicator lightIndicator light completeLensLuminescent digitsMushroom buttonPendant controlPilot light attachmentProbe headSelector switchShieldbearerSignaling devicefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Front element indicator lamp:ABBCeagEatonRafiRockwellSchlegelSchneider ElectricSiemens

Current monitoring device - If you would like to be in control of your electrical installation, then monitor your cables and wires for correct function and proper current flow. Especially if you want to minimize downtime or failures within production processes, you can counteract any problems early and effectively with a current monitoring relay. Learn more about the types and uses of power monitoring devices here. Use our help when making a purchase decision and choose from numerous quality products at top conditions here in your eibabo® shop.Analysis and EvidenceHigh-quality current monitoring devices are able to store errors that occur for later evaluation, to communicate with other components and, if necessary, to send out alarm signals.Devices of this type are typically installed in the control cabinet and use suitable relays to protect your system against undervoltage or overvoltage or against undercurrent or overcurrent.What types of surveillance devices are there?A monitoring device is a protective relay that is used to monitor various states of an electrical system. It is therefore an electrical switch which is triggered when certain specified parameters are exceeded. The device provides protection by shutting down the system in the event of an abnormal condition. A monitoring device (also called a control relay) typically consists of two main components: a sensing circuit for detecting condition and a trigger element. The detection element is used to determine the monitored parameters. The triggering element serves to trigger the switching process.Individual settings can often be made by the user with these devices. The protection parameters can thus be adapted to the requirements of the respective system. This is done using adjustment wheels and screws or, in the case of digital relays, using buttons and a display. Among other things, the following can be set:Delay ? to avoid false alarms due to sudden power surgesReset (manual or automatic) - used to reset the electrical system after a shiftRemote Reset - to remotely reset the electrical system after a shiftAlarm ? to trigger an alarm in the event of a trip Surveillance devices fall into different categories. These are based on the parameter being monitored. This can be voltage and current, but also filling levels or temperatures. The most common monitoring devices are:Voltage monitors - trip when the voltage in an electrical system exceeds and/or falls below a specified level.Phase monitors ? are used to monitor and protect against polarity reversal, phase failure and phase asymmetry. These constantly check the phase difference between two or more phases.Current monitors - protect equipment in an electrical system from overcurrent or undercurrent. Current monitoring relays trigger when the current exceeds or falls below a predetermined value.Frequency Monitors - Used primarily in Alternating Current (AC) systems where line frequency control is required. These relays are therefore used to protect against frequency anomalies.Temperature monitors ? primarily protect against overheating by constantly monitoring the temperature of the system and the devices that are being protected. Areas of application are predominantly industrial plants where extreme temperatures are a problem.Level monitors - are switches for level control in cisterns, tanks and other storage containers. These devices are used wherever liquid levels need to be monitored. Image: Pilz S1IM #828050 current monitoring relayThe different types of current monitorsCurrent monitors are important devices when it comes to protecting electrical systems. These help prevent damage to equipment and components by shutting off a circuit in the event of a fault. There are different types of electricity monitors. Each has its own advantages and areas of application. Depending on this, please select the right type to ensure proper protection.Primary and secondary power monitorsPrimary devices are mostly part of a circuit breaker and are mainly used in electrical networks with voltages up to 1000 volts. Secondary current monitors are connected to the circuit through a current transformer, which in turn is connected to the power supply. The current transformer reduces the current to a value suitable for the function of the monitoring device. Secondary current monitors are in turn divided into the following subspecies:Electromagnetic DevicesThe devices based on the principle of electromagnetism are the most common. These consist of a core with a copper winding and an armature with attached switch contacts. When the current is off, a spring keeps the armature away from the core. When a voltage is applied, a magnetic field builds up around the core. This attracts the armature and thus switches the connected contacts. The majority of electromagnetic devices are so-called polarized relays. These contain two cores with windings, a permanent magnet and a contact rod. Operation is dependent on the polarity of the input signal. There are electromagnetic relays for alternating and direct current. Their advantages lie in high-quality galvanic isolation, low price, low contact voltage drop and low heat development. No refrigeration is required. Devices of this type are resistant to impulse loads and interference from lightning strikes. The main disadvantages are the limited mechanical and electrical service life and the low operating speed.induction relayThe principle of operation of induction relays is based on the interaction between the current induced in a conductor and a variable magnetic flux. Therefore, with alternating current, these are used as indirect protection relays. The integrated components of the device are arranged in such a way that they are aligned with each other at the set frequency of the current and are not deflected. When the frequency changes, a moving element moves, causing the contacts to close or open. We distinguish between induction devices with a frame, with a pane and with glass.differential relaySuch devices compare the current strength before the consumer and after it. This consumer is usually a power transformer. In the normal state, both values are approximately the same. However, if a short circuit occurs, this balance is disturbed. As a result, the relay closes the contacts and turns off the faulty section of the circuit. Often found in household appliances and lamps, these relays protect people from electric shock.Relays on microcircuits in the integrated electronicsThe devices work with semiconductors such as triacs or thyristors. In the basic principle, such a device compares the incoming signal with the parameters stored in the device for trouble-free operation. If there is a deviation, the relay breaks the circuit.thermal relayThermal relays work with an integrated bimetal. This heats up when an electric current is passed through it. If the current flow deviates from the specified value, the bimetallic strip deforms, causing the contacts to open and close.What should you look for in a current monitoring device?In order for the current monitor to work, its parameters must meet the requirements of the assigned tasks. When selecting a device, pay attention to the following features:Voltage in volts - this is the voltage range in which the device normally operatesCurrent in amperes - each device is rated for a specific currentTripping power in watts - this is the minimum power of the electrical current supplied for normal operationControl power in watts - this is the maximum power of electric current at which the relay will perform its functions correctly TIPWhen making your selection, pay attention to the prevailing operating conditions. Is the device used in critical environments with high humidity, dirt, heat, cold or vibrations? Furthermore, the error detection depends on the accuracy of the measurement of the current strength in amperes. The response time of the device is another important parameter. How long does the device take from the moment of the event to triggering? Under certain circumstances, it can be advantageous to be able to individually set a delay before switching the device on or off for critical loads.As a specialist for smart home technology, we at the eibabo® online shop are your competent partner for all questions relating to intelligent electrical installation.

Heat accumulator - Do you need a heating source for your house or for a specific room? Not sure if storage heaters are the right choice for you? Is it true that heating with thermal storage is no longer up-to-date? We clarify to make your purchase decision easier. Heating is important, because in the winter months we like to withdraw and spend the long evenings comfortably at home. However, a warm environment is a prerequisite for this. Heating costs are constantly increasing and buying the right system should be carefully considered. All heating systems have advantages and disadvantages, including thermal storage. Depending on the needs and consumption profile, thermal storage can still be an attractive alternative.What are heat accumulators?Heat storage devices are devices that store excess thermal energy for a certain period of time and retrieve it later. If you install one or more heat accumulators in your heating system, you 'conserve' the heat once it has been generated and the energy is not lost so quickly. With storage heating, also known as night storage heating, you can optimally use electricity outside of the expensive peak times. TIP:Storage heaters are designed for either wall mounting or floor mounting. Installation is often easier than with other heating systems. The devices are fully-fledged heaters for homes and businesses. Floor-standing devices are larger and usually have more storage capacity. Wall mount devices are narrower and need to be lighter. Their performance is usually lower.How does a heat accumulator work?The operating principle of the heat accumulator is easy to understand and the structure of the devices is relatively simple. This type of electric heater contains an electrically powered heating element and storage media. These are usually ceramic bricks or clay bricks. These materials can store a lot of heat. Typically, the storage heater heats with cheap off-peak electricity and stores the heat in the storage media. This is then released again over several hours to heat rooms. The heat is distributed in the room via so-called convection currents. Warm air rises out of the heater at the top and cooler air flows in from the bottom. The cool air is warmed up by the heater and rises again, while the previously warmed air cools down and sinks to the ground. A cycle is created which distributes the heat evenly throughout the room.If you look at this principle over the course of a day, the basic idea of this heating method quickly becomes clear.The storage heater consumes (cheap) energy at night and is 'charged' in the morning. During the day, the bricks slowly release the heat and cool down. As a result, the heating output also decreases. In the evening most of the heat is gone, but the house, apartment or room has been comfortably warm for many hours. Such a heater is therefore suitable for the home office or other rooms that are used regularly during the day. If the walls have a certain storage capacity, the heating output still has an effect. There is no doubt that the principle of night storage heating leaves a lot to be desired in the evening. Charging at night is not optimal for a cozy evening in front of the TV. Of course, modern storage heaters nowadays have sophisticated control systems and power regulators. This allows you to regulate both the storage and the heat output and optimize it in terms of time. However, this does not change the basic principle.In combination with a solar system, the charging curve and the heating times can be shifted. If you have the opportunity to use solar energy, the storage tank can be charged during the day. Depending on the weather, orientation and performance of your system, the charging of the storage media at midday leads to a high heating output in the afternoon and evening and decreases again during the night. With this variant, the rooms may not be sufficiently heated in the morning and up to midday.Which comfort functions do thermal storage tanks offer?To optimize performance, modern storage heaters, their controls and housing are becoming more and more efficient. Manufacturers also keep offering innovations in terms of operation.Fans support the room air distributionThermostats regulate the room to the desired temperatureSmart charging controls enable the amount of heat to be stored as requiredWLAN connection allows control via telephone and voice assistant or integration into the smart home What are the advantages of thermal storage compared to other heating methods?Heat accumulators are comparatively easy to install and do not require regular maintenance or servicing. The service life can be several decades without incurring any significant costs. If the installation of a gas heater or other heating fails, for example due to monument protection, the heat storage tank is often an alternative. If you purchase cheap green electricity or produce the electricity yourself using your own solar system, the heat storage tank has a very good CO2 balance.Is heating with a storage heater expensive?Heating rooms is always associated with costs. Whether it is expensive or inexpensive depends less on the actual invoice amount. The decisive factor is the relationship between calorific value and costs. The question is therefore: Does heating with thermal storage make economic sense for me? Things like acquisition costs, installation costs, operating costs, maintenance costs and repair costs come into play here. The optimal solution depends on the individual circumstances and your consumption profile.Image: Glen VFE 60K heat accumulatorIs heating via thermal storage right for me?You should think carefully about whether an electrically operated storage heater is right for you. One thing is certain: Electricity will generally become more expensive in the future if you are dependent on energy suppliers. However, this also applies to many other energy sources such as gas and fossil fuels. A heat accumulator may be the optimal solution for your specific application. It is important to precisely assess your needs.Do I need the heat every day or just occasionally?What time of day do I need the heat?How long do I need the heat?What output does the heater have to have? How many devices do I need?Do I get a cheap off-peak electricity tariff?How will electricity prices develop in the future?Can I integrate a solar system?Do other types of heating (wood storage stove, heat pump, gas boiler) make more economic sense for my needs?Would alternatives be feasible at all? Would there be a gas connection? Does the house have the requirements for an oven? connectionDepending on the size, the connected load of a storage heater can be 7kW or even higher. For such a device, you usually need a 400V three-phase connection with appropriate circuit protection.Here in the shop you can get devices from various manufacturers such as AEG, Glen, Vaillant and Stiebel Eltron. All devices offer high quality and different storage capacities. So you are sure to find the right model for your needs.

Installation relay - What is a relay and how does it work? What types of relays are there? Where are relays used? And which relay suits your project best? Here you can learn more about switching and controlling electrical circuits. Installation relays are used in many different applications. You will find relays in domestic electrical installations, in electrical appliances, in commerce and industry, and in vehicles.A look into historyThe first relay was invented by the American J. Henry in 1831 and was based on the electromagnetic principle of operation. Henry used the relay in his university lab as a 'gimmick' to entertain his students. However, it was not yet possible to switch gears. The first switching relay was invented by Samuel Morse in 1837. Morse refined Henry's device and adapted it to transmit signals (the Morse code) down miles of wire. This was also the basis for the telegraph.Did you know that the world's first computer was also built with only relays? It was a development by Konrad Zuse, which was presented in 1941. A lot has happened since then and relays are no longer used in modern computers. Nevertheless, the relay is still an important and popular component in electrical installations today. Think, for example, of switching on and off the lighting in the stairwell. The circuit works regardless of which floor you are on. However, there are numerous other areas of application. That is why different installation relays are also available in the eibabo® shop. Simply browse through our virtual catalogue. You will surely find some high-quality and inexpensive installation relays that arouse your interest.Image: Eltako ER12-110-UC switching relayWhat are relays?Relays are components within electrical installations of all kinds. They are mainly used as circuit breakers and control switches in electrical devices or are used as important components in many control processes. There are numerous types of relays, which differ in detail. The manufacturers develop the devices for special tasks and adjust the triggering characteristics accordingly. Relays that are often bought in this catalog are coupling relays, power relays, switching relays, interface relays, semiconductor relays and many more. The basic operating principle of a relay is to open and close circuits or contacts by reacting to electrical quantities such as current or voltage.How are relays differentiated?Relays are classified according to various criteria. These include:the type of physical inputs to which the relay respondsthe area of application that the relay assumes in control systemsthe structure of the device design and the principle of operationthe switching capacitythe shape and sizeand some others A relay consists of three main elements:entering / entering a valuethe intermediateof execution / actuation by actuator If we look at the type of physical input variable, we distinguish between electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical, magnetic or acoustic relays. NoticeNot all relays work with fixed physical quantities. Differential relays, for example, react to the difference in values. Polarized relays respond to a change in sign of a specific value. The acquisition of the measurand is the primary element of the relay. This converts the input value into another physical quantity. The receiving element can have different designs depending on the purpose of the relay and the nature of the physical quantity. In the case of a latching relay or a voltage relay, the receiving element consists of an electromagnet. In the case of a pressure relay, this can be a membrane or bellows. The sensing element of a level relay is usually a float and so on.The intermediate element compares the input value with the specified limit value of the device and, if it is exceeded, transmits an impulse to the executing actuator.The actuator transmits the pulse from the relay to the working circuits. Each relay basically contains a control circuit and one or more operating circuits. Depending on the type of actuator, the relays are divided into contact relays and contactless relays. Contact relays act on the outgoing circuit with the help of electrical contacts. Their closed or open state allows either full closure or full mechanical break of the work circuit. Contactless relays act on the working circuit by a sudden change in parameters in the control circuit. This is achieved via resistance, capacitance, inductance or a change in voltage level or current level.How does an installation relay work?Depending on the requirement and application, relays are simple or complex. However, the basic functional principle does not differ significantly. In the center is the coil with an iron core. When current flows through the coil, an electric magnetic field builds up. A movable, ferromagnetic armature reacts to this magnetic field and is attracted. This change in position connects two contact springs with each other and the so-called working contacts in the relay close. In this case, the relay acts as a closer. In some designs, so-called break contacts are opened when the magnetic field is created. These are called openers. Combinations of openers and closers are also possible. These are changeover contacts or changeover contacts.Already knew?If the coil of a relay is suddenly de-energized, high voltage peaks can occur. Therefore, depending on the model, resistors or diodes are used to prevent these voltage peaks from flowing back into the control circuit. Sensitive components remain protected.As soon as the coil no longer generates a magnetic field, the armature is returned to its original position by spring force. The make contacts are no longer closed and the break contacts are no longer open.What are Solid State Relays?More and more relay functions are currently being taken over by semiconductor circuits, so-called solid-state relays (SSR). A solid state relay is an electronic device that turns on and off a high power circuit with low voltages. There are no mechanically moving elements in this type of relay. The device consists of:a sensor that responds to an input signala solid-state electronics with high-performance circuitry Solid state relays can be used with both direct current and alternating current. With the help of thyristors and transistors it is possible to switch currents of several hundred amperes. Compared to electromechanical relays, semiconductor relays have a significantly higher switching speed. Solid-state relays are less suitable for switching under short-term overload conditions. Compared to electromechanical relays, solid state relays offer the following advantages:smaller dimensionshigh switching speedsnoiselesspowerfulmore energy efficientspark-free circuitmaintenance freelong lifetimelow sensitivity to adverse conditions What should I look out for when buying an installation relay?In the eibabo® shop there is a huge selection of different relays with numerous specifications. Choosing the right installation relay can be difficult. Before you buy, you should determine the function of your circuit and then define the task of the relay. Then select a suitable relay for your project. Decision criteria include:What kind is the physical input quantity?Will the device be subjected to vibration and shock?Where will the installation take place?Are dust, moisture or temperature fluctuations to be expected?What is the switching voltage and the switching current?Which current magnitudes and voltage magnitudes occur?What is the expected switching frequency?What requirements do I place on the durability of the relay?Are special functions or additional programming required? Notice:When switching active and inductive loads, opening the circuit for the contacts is the most difficult. In this case, arcing occurs, which puts a lot of strain on the contacts. The switching relays offered by eibabo® are high quality, inexpensive, versatile, reliable and universally applicable. The best-known manufacturers in our range are ABB, Doepke, Dold, Eaton, Eberle, Eltako, Finder, Hager, Jung, Schalk, Schneider Electric, Siemens and WAGO.

Fire detector - Your building and the people and objects in it are certainly important to you. Protect your valuables by using fire alarms. Find out here how fire detectors differ and what you should consider when buying one. Fire detectors play an important role in the area of alarm systems. These are an indispensable part of security in private and public buildings. In some cases, the building must be equipped with fire alarms.What are fire alarms?Fire alarms are technical devices or systems that draw your attention to an emergency. This alarm allows you to take action to extinguish a fire and protect people and assets. The devices can be found in the private environment, as well as in commercial units, office buildings, industrial plants and public facilities. Each fire detector detects a hazard in different ways. Irrespective of this, in the event of a fire:acoustic signals are triggered to draw the attention of people in the buildingRemote signals are sent to alert the fire brigade directly or via a central station A complete fire alarm system usually consists not only of the detectors, but also of a fire alarm control panel. This can be set up to trigger various actions automatically. These include, for example:the automatic information of the fire brigadethe activation of extinguishing systems for active firefightingswitching on ventilation systems or extraction systemsopening escape routes In this eibabo® catalogue, the focus is on the detector devices that should be installed at central points in a building to detect hazards.What are the differences between the fire detectors?The various fire detectors are, so to speak, the 'sensory organs' of a fire alarm system. We differentiate between automatic fire detectors and non-automatic fire detectors. Automatic fire detectors detect a fire based on physical properties. Non-automatic fire detectors must be operated manually. The nature of the danger can also be very different. With the automatic fire detectors, you have the choice between simple or technically sophisticated fire gas detectors or smoke gas detectors, heat detectors, smoke detectors, flame detectors, multiple sensor detectors and various special detectors. Manual fire alarms with broken glass windows are non-automatic fire alarms.Fire gas detectors and smoke gas detectorsThe carbon monoxide detector is one of the fire gas detectors. Carbon monoxide is a toxic, colorless, odorless gas produced by combustion. Carbon monoxide detectors or CO fire detectors measure the carbon monoxide content in the air using an electrochemical cell.NoticeThus, a carbon monoxide detector is not only a fire detector. It also warns you if a combustion appliance (such as the heater) in your home has broken down and is emitting dangerous carbon monoxide.However, these devices do not detect smoke or other products of combustion. Other gas detectors immediately detect hazardous fire gases such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas. Flue gases are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxide.smoke detectorThere are three different types of smoke detectors, each with a different operating principle. In ionization smoke detectors there is a chamber with two electrically charged plates. In between a small amount of radioactive material. The air between the plates ionizes and current can flow. If smoke enters the chamber, it interrupts the flow of ions and the current flow is reduced. The result is that the alarm is triggered. Ionization smoke detectors work well in flaming fires.The light scattering smoke detectors work according to the Tyndall effect. This means that in a dark chamber there is a light source and a light sensor. Light source and light sensor are separated from each other in such a way that the light does not hit the sensor. Smoke in the chamber causes the light to scatter, which then hits the sensor. The alarm is triggered. These detectors are particularly suitable for smoldering fires.On the other hand, the smoke detector works with the principle of blackout. Light hits a sensor. The sensor measures the amount of light received. If there are fluctuations in the measured values, smoke is assumed and the alarm is triggered. Larger areas can be monitored with this type of detector because the light source and sensor can be positioned further apart.heat detectorHeat detectors or thermal detectors register the rise in temperature caused by a fire. Some heat detectors trigger automatically when a preset ambient temperature is reached. Other models monitor the rate of temperature rise and trigger if the temperature rises faster than the preset value over a period of time. In this case, an alarm is also triggered if the set trigger temperature has not yet been reached. Intelligent heat detectors give an alarm when the ambient temperature around the detector rises above a variable, relative value depending on other parameters.flame detectorFlame detectors are typically used in open areas or outdoors. However, these devices are also used indoors. Their sensors determine the energy emissions of a fire in the ultraviolet and infrared range. Flame detectors do not analyze combustion products such as heat and smoke.Multi-sensor detectorMulti-sensor detectors use a combination of multiple sensor types. These sense smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide to detect signs of a fire. A complex algorithm in the detector circuit uses the measured values to decide when an alarm is to be triggered. When integrated into a fire alarm system, the detector outputs a value based on the combined readings of all integrated sensors. These devices are sensitive to a variety of fires.Image: Hekatron ORS 210 optical smoke detectormanual call pointA manual detector or glass break detector is a device that allows anyone to trigger an alarm. To do this, a fragile element (usually a transparent pane) must be broken. The alarm can be triggered via a button behind it.How can fire alarm systems be structured?The function of fire alarm systems goes far beyond the mere alarming by individual detectors. You can implement these individually depending on your budget and architecture. A complete and reliable threat detection is important.In conventional systems, detectors / sensors / detectors are wired to the main control unit using classic cable connections. The detectors are divided into areas in order to be able to locate the danger point quickly. This makes the work of the fire brigade easier and is relevant for general building management. The current status of each area can be seen on the control center using a lamp or text display. The more differentiated the division of the areas, the more precisely the alarm trigger can be localized.Fire detectors with BUS technology are integrated into a KNX building automation system. The principle for detecting a hazard is similar to that of a conventional system. The connection is established via a BUS data line with the network control. In a KNX environment, each detector is given a fixed address. You can determine exactly which detector triggered the alarm via the control panel.Wireless systems are interesting alternatives to implement conventional or KNX-based fire alarm systems. Signals are transmitted between the sensors and the control center over secure, license-free frequencies. With a wireless system you are very flexible and can make extensions and changes without having to change anything in the fixed installation.Which fire alarm should I buy?You have now become acquainted with numerous fire detectors and alarm systems. Please assess the risk of a fire individually and also the dangers that such an emergency situation means for you and your building. TIP:Rely on a healthy mix of different fire detectors. In order to be able to detect the widest possible spectrum of different fires, we recommend a combination of different fire detectors. You cannot know beforehand whether the worst case scenario is fire and flames, a smoldering fire with heavy smoke development or a defective solid fuel appliance. Not every fire detector detects every type of fire. A multi-sensor detector offers many possible uses. The division into individual devices has the advantage that there is still a certain level of protection even if a single device fails.

Alarm control panel - Would you like to control and regulate as many functions of your KNX building automation as possible from a central location? Then take a look at our multifunctional alarm control panels. With these convenient control centers, you always have an overview of all the comfort settings, automatisms and security-related parameters integrated in the building network. Read more about the use and function of these devices below.Image: Busch Jaeger 8136/12-811 KNX Comfort PanelWhat is the KNX protocol?In order to be able to understand the full potential of the alarm control panels, you must first know the KNX standard and its possibilities.There is a growing desire for more convenience and versatility in managing the heating, lighting and security of a home or office building. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. People want a comfortable, environmentally friendly and safe environment to live and work in. And this is where automation can make a valuable contribution. More comfort, greater security and at the same time lower power consumption can only be achieved with intelligent controls for all devices involved. However, this is fundamentally a problem, since when implementing such a system, numerous different sensors and actuators must be controlled using different command devices. Furthermore, the large number of cabling means increased construction work and more effort during installation for planners, as well as higher costs for the user. Simplification would require a system that eliminates the problems of isolated devices. And that is KNX. KNX ensures that all components communicate in a common language. It doesn't matter what kind of device you want to use. The functions can be individually adapted to your needs and include, for example:lighting and blindsSecurity systems, alarm and surveillance systemsEnergy management, heating, ventilation, air conditioningremote controlsAudio and video controlsInterfaces to systems for building maintenance and building management All these functions work with the KNX fieldbus for building automation via a single system. All components interact with each other and create a dynamic building control system. With over 500 KNX-compliant manufacturers, flexibility and choice are huge. KNX is thus the global standard for intelligent building control and ensures full compatibility between manufacturers and related products. The KNX system can be used in almost any building or open space - from a small house to a large shopping center or industrial complex.What are KNX annunciator control panels?A KNX annunciator panel and control panel are usually highly complex, room-spanning control devices, infotainment interfaces and entertainment centers. With these devices, the complete control of a KNX building automation can be implemented at a central point.Which controls are possible with alarm control panels?There are countless equipment details for complex, logical functions. These include, among others:switching and dimmingBlind controls and automatisms for shadingroom temperature controlsCentral functions and scene controlsMultimedia, IP telephony, RSS reader, intercom with image, e-mail, voice memo and graphic memoMonitoring of consumption dataDoor communication with integrated camera and proximity sensorVideo surveillance with alarm and reporting function Everything is now possible. More and more KNX manufacturers are also offering direct interfaces to other home automation systems. These include Bang & Olufsen (B&O), Philips, Siemens Logo, Siemens SPS, CoDeSys, Beckhoff, Omron, Mitsubishi and many other systems. The menu structures of the KNX signaling control panels are partly already implemented or completely freely parameterizable.What should I look out for when buying a KNX annunciator control panel?The requirements for operating your building automation can be quite different. Depending on the type and complexity of your system, a simple device may be sufficient or a complex device may be required.Saving TIPIf it is 'only' about basic functions such as dimming, setting blinds or controlling the heating, we recommend our high-quality KNX push-button sensors. These can also be parameterized individually, look smart and are significantly cheaper to buy.This results in some purchase criteria that you can consider when making your choice:What is my budget?Do I need a complex annunciator control panel at all or can I achieve the same result with alternative devices (e.g. a push button sensor)?Which functions do I want to map?What color and design do I like (glass, stainless steel, plastic)?How should it be operated (keys, touch)?Should the bus coupling be integrated?What other interfaces are required?Where and how is the device installed (surface-mounted, flush-mounted)?Do I only need the control element or also mounting material and frame?Should a possible display be in color or is a monochrome variant sufficient?Is a special degree of protection necessary (e.g. for outdoor installation)?and more What should be considered during installation and integration into the home network?The devices are very complex. You should therefore note that commissioning can also be very time-consuming. Integration into a network via KNX IP router (routing & tunneling protocol) or KNX IP interface (tunneling protocol) is often necessary for full functional use, depending on the required protocol. Therefore, please ensure that you also lay a network cable in addition to a 230V AC power supply and the KNX bus cable. designeibabo® offers versions in high-quality stainless steel or with the finest capacitive glass surfaces as well as individual frame designs.

Push button complete - The complete pushbutton devices available in the eibabo online shop are simple, extremely robust and easy-to-use switching elements for use in industrial machine and system control. They can be different in color, which makes it possible to clarify their respective function within a control panel. And although the machine control is increasingly being mapped using digital operating elements, mechanical pushbuttons are preferred for certain control functions because they radiate solidity and provide haptic, visual and sometimes also acoustic feedback when operated. This increases security. In addition, they are inexpensive and, in the event of a defect, can be quickly replaced with a new, fully functional component. Most of our complete pushbutton devices are in stock, so they can be shipped quickly and are delivered at short notice. If you wish, you can view the status of the delivery at any time via our tracking system.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Low-voltage industrial components > Push button, complete you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorAgreement switchButtonCommand and signaling deviceCommand deviceComplete deviceDouble push buttonDual keyDual push buttonEmergency stop buttonEMERGENCY STOP command deviceEnabling switchFive-way push buttonFront element for push buttonIlluminated pushbuttonIlluminated pushbutton switchKey switchLight switchMushroom buttonMushroom pushbuttonPush buttonPush button, completePushbutton, complete deviceQuad push buttonSelector buttonSingle push buttonSlam switchSwitchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Push button complete:ABBCaptronCeagConrad ElectronicEaoEatonFarnellRafiRockwellSchlegelSchmersalSchneider ElectricSiemensStahl

Cable gland - Would you like to protect cable entries in housings or devices from moisture, mechanical influences and dust? Then find out more about the possible uses of cable glands here. We will introduce you to the available materials and their properties and support you in your purchasing decision. In this catalog from the eibabo® shop you will find cable glands for all areas of application and from over 40 well-known manufacturers. Enjoy secure payment methods, fast shipping and worldwide delivery.What are cable glands?Cable glands fulfill different functions and are important components in cable management. This is a type of connector with which you can route cables and lines in housings or through bulkheads in a sealed and strain-relieved manner. Cable glands protect electrical lines in the terminal area of control cabinets, distribution boxes, plugs, control panels and other enclosures from:sparks and flamesmoisture, dust and other dirtvibrationkinking and twistingcorrosionflammable gases These components are used almost everywhere in indoor and outdoor electrical installations. Depending on the area of application, additional properties must ensure compatibility under difficult environmental conditions. These include electromagnetism and the risk of explosion. Factory-made cable bushings on housings and devices usually have a thread into which a cable gland can be screwed. If required, you will receive suitable adapters as a reduction or extension. This allows you to adapt existing threads with a different dimension accordingly.NoticeIn addition to sealing and strain relief, cable glands also prevent the cable from kinking and damage to the insulating jacket on sharp-edged holes in metal sheets and side walls.In the case of individually manufactured bushings (holes), you must fasten the cable gland with a counter nut.How is a cable gland constructed?A standard cable gland basically consists of a frame element / socket, cable lug clamp, seals, union nut, thread seal and lock nut. Seals provide the necessary protection against the ingress of moisture or solid particles. The union nut secures the cable with a cable lug clamp. The socket is clamped onto the device, the housing or the partition wall with the lock nut if this cannot be fastened with a thread. Please note that cable glands have to withstand very individual conditions. The structure of cable glands for special applications can be more complex or different.Where are cable glands used?In principle, cable glands can be found wherever electrical installations have to be carried out with particular care. This can even be the case for private installations. You will commonly find cable glands in industrial areas such as:mechanical engineering and plant constructionthe chemical industry and food productionin traffic engineering, in transport and in offshore installationsof automation and classic electrical engineering In all these areas, cable glands have to meet a wide variety of requirements. When making your selection, please pay attention to functional parameters such as protection class, impact resistance and compatibility with explosions and electromagnetic radiation.What are the properties of cable glands for hazardous areas?Explosion-proof cable glands are mechanical devices for securely sealing a cable in particularly hazardous areas. These are often used in industry and in automation systems. Explosion proof cable glands protect and secure all types of electrical, telecom, data transmission and control cables. The main functions are:Tight closing of the cable outer sheath and sealing of the cable entry into the electrical deviceProtection of live cable parts and inner insulation from dust and moistureEnsuring the continuity of the grounding circuit in case of sealing an armored cable (if the entrance has a metal structure)secure cable holder, which offers a required resistance to cable pullMaintaining the required level of explosion protection of the devices in which they are used Special sealing methods are used to ensure these properties. These are compression seals, displacement seals, membrane seals and complex insulating seals by casting insulating compound. Sometimes a double seal is used.Image: Jacob 50.640 PA/SW cable glandWhich material should I choose for a cable gland?Cable glands are available in different materials. These include some plastics and various metals. The material is a very important selection criterion to ensure a functioning application over the entire period of use. It should also match the cable material. This will prevent corrosion, excessive wear or damage. To make your choice easier, here is a brief overview of the materials:Brass - for organic compounds, water, mineral oils, lubricants and fuelsnickel-plated brass - for organic and saline solutionsStainless steel - for organic and oxidizing acids and bases as well as saline solutionsCorrosion Resistant Steel - For outdoor applications, seawaterPVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) - for chemical compounds, high temperatures and mechanical stressPA (polyamide) - is the standard material for general applications without special specificationsNylon - for applications requiring high compressive strengthSilicone - when flexibility and tolerance to high temperatures are expected This list does not claim to be complete. All materials can be equipped with different sealing inserts according to the respective application conditions. These include: acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, silicone, elastomer, fluorocarbon rubber and polyethylene.What should I look out for when buying cable glands?Cable glands are safety elements in electrical systems. Cable gland manufacturers offer a wide range of products, varying in material, size, seal type, connection type, protection level and load capacity. A cable gland should be selected according to the following parameters:Type and size of the cable to be screwed (diameter, armored or unarmoured)Cable glands are divided into different clamping ranges. Each clamping area is suitable for cables of a certain diameter range. Pay attention to the required thread size or the hole diameter of the housing.Durability of the material under the respective conditions of useOperating temperature, impact resistance, electromagnetic radiation, risk of explosion and mechanical stress should be taken into account when making a purchase decision. Also consider the compatibility with chemical substances.cable routingIs the cable installed permanently or flexibly? Accordingly, select cable glands with or without tolerance to movement. TIP:Cable glands with kink protection and bending protection have flexible lamellas or spirals that support the cable a few centimeters. IP protection classThe first digit of the IP protection class indicates the compatibility with foreign bodies such as dust, dirt and physical contact. The second number describes the protection against water. Choose an IP protection class that meets your requirements.
