Siemens i-3 Control Technology™ has three key elements, integration, installation and interface.  Integration provides control into as many as 8 panels in a stand alone system or 247 panels networked with a building automation system.  i-3 provides a lighting control solution using the industry’s smallest control breaker lighting panel with Siemens cutting edge technology.  installation, the use of modularity with standard product, reduces the labor and wiring complexity over traditional designs all while interfacing with global communication protocols.

integration:
• Smallest Controlled Breaker panel footprint – Fits into a 20”x 44” standard lighting panel
• Fit up to 2 panels with 42 circuits each in one section of an IPS Switchboard
• Retrofiable into existing Siemens P1 Panel

installation: 
• 32 2-wire digital inputs
• 2 analog inputs and outputs on every panel
• Modular Design:
   - Standard BQD breakers controlled with a CPod     
   - Rated for 500,000+ operations   
   - 65K AIC Rated    
   - Emergency Lighting Control Solution (EPod) available late summer 2008

interface:  
• MODBUS, EIB and dry contact capable
• USB Interface for uploading and downloading panel configurations
• Integrated Touch Panel w/ intuitive commissioning setup wizards (no PC required)
• Scheduling:     
     - 50 independent schedules    
     - Unlimited Holiday Overrides

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a non-government, not-for-profit coalition representing the entire building industry. The mission of the USGBC is to “promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work.” One of the major initiatives of the USGBC is their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Program.  LEED recognizes achievements in green building through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources.
