Modular marshalling boxes
Published:  26 August, 2009

Vitesse Modular is the latest addition to CP Electronics' range of marshalling boxes. Its modular design makes it quick and easy to add luminaires, simply by plugging in 4-way extender modules, so that design changes at fit-out - or changes in the layout of the space - can by accommodated very cost-effectively. An appropriate CP detector (PIR, microwave - absence or presence detection) is then simply plugged into the end module, using a pre-wired lead.

The Vitesse Modular range also incorporates a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) module to ease compliance with the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations by eliminating the need for RCD-protection of live switch wires routed along walls.

Each module is able to connect to four luminaires, using either 6-pole dimming or 4-pole non-dimming GST connectors. Up to three additional extension modules can be added to accommodate a maximum of 16 luminaires.

Ease of installation is a key benefit of the design, with a large wiring compartment and large terminals (accepting up to 4mm²), a detachable cable-entry plate and a choice of grommets or cable glands. Constructed from robust, high impact-resistant plastic, the boxes are very light compared to metal boxes and can be mounted directly onto a slab, onto drop rods or to a besa box. Where preferred, the modules can be connected to CP's new ceiling rose, using industry standard GST connectors.
