The 2.1 version of Wattstopper Segment Manager adds an intuitive and robust user interface that allows for easy viewing, organizing, and scheduling of lighting control systems and related energy usage. The interface is designed to be an effective management tool to help building owners, facility managers, and electrical engineers optimize building performance and reduce energy costs with valuable information on each space and visual history on the site's operation.
New to the lighting controls industry is the tile-based user interface that allows users to easily group controls by room, area, floor, and building into their desired view. Also unique is Segment Manager's ability to automatically populate tiles into the dashboard when integrated into the DLM system. There is no special programming required for set up. Additional features and benefits include:
"The Segment Manager 2.1 is useful from a management point of view," said Ron Zawadzki, Principal at tk1sc, a distinguished mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering firm in Southern California. "Because of the simple interface, you can easily understand how your system is operating, quickly take action if there's a problem, and make changes to save energy without being intimidated."
The Segment Manager can be used as a stand-alone solution, or extended into an even more powerful system with the Wattstopper LM Supervisor package. This option adds the capability to easily manage multiple Segment Manager installations across a site and enables long-term historical trending for benchmarking measurement and verification.
In addition, the expanded Wattstopper Groups programming capability marks a significant update to the DLM architecture. Control specialists now have new ways to combine loads throughout a facility for control by any selection of DLM devices. Enabling complete flexibility for zone-based, room-based, or load-based control, Groups allow loads in any networked areas to operate together on a schedule, sensor, or switch for greater convenience.
"Our customers have relied on DLM as a foundation for their lighting control systems because it provides design and installation freedom, and the scalability to accommodate whole buildings or campuses. These new features add immense value to any networked controls system from simple to complex projects – we can do it all." said Charles Knuffke, VP of Systems at Wattstopper.
