Espen Technology has announced that it is offering the VersaDim System, a dimming and control system using PCLC power line communication technology.
VersaDim is a power line communication dimming system comprised of a controller and a receiver. In a typical installation, one controlled fixture needs one receiver. One controller can control many receivers on the same branch circuit. No separate signal wires are required, there are no compatibility issues common to standard wall dimmers, and the system is plug-and-play. VersaDim eliminates wireless security concerns; does not affect power line quality (PF/THD); handles heavy loads up to 2,000W without derating; and is capable of zone control.
PCLC (Powerline Communicated Load Control) is a control technology that provides the capability of wireless controls (avoiding separate signal wires) while eliminating the drawbacks of wireless.
