The new Delmatic Metro Desktop Touchpad from Delmatic is a versatile controller that helps to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions while giving users unparalleled control of their local environment from a single device. As such, the Touchpad is a wireless controller with intuitive context-sensitive graphical screens and a wide selection of software-configurable functions. Controllable parameters include light levels and lighting scenes, temperature, glare/shading and audio-visual functions – all from an interactive, desktop device.
The Metro Touchpad can be used in both general offices spaces and in meeting rooms. In either case the touchpad itself is wireless and communicates to a ceiling mounted receiver using infra-red signals. In a general office space it will control light levels, temperature set point and automatic blinds, whilst in a meeting room it can be used to control light levels, select pre-set lighting scenes and control audio-visual equipment.
The unit includes an integral temperature sensor, so that room temperature is measured at desk level and there is no requirement for wall-mounted temperature sensors and associated wiring. The Metro Touchpad can also be combined with a Delmatic multisensor, which combines a photocell sensor with a motion detector.
