LEGRAND/PASS & SEYMOUR INTRODUCES THE SELECTIVE CALL SYSTEM
Inspired by color and design trends from around the world, the Selective Call System seamlessly blends technology with design. Its sculptural curves, featuring titanium edging and a screwless finish, allow homeowners to integrate technology with personal style and taste.
Enabling broadcast or room-to-room communication at the touch of a button, Selective Call can accommodate up to 32 locations and three simultaneous, private conversations — the only intercom in the industry to do so. It eliminates the need for a main console, allowing complete system control from any room unit.
Users can choose from 96 room names, such as “nursery” or “great room,” and up to 20 built-in digital door tones. The easy-to-use interface ensures complete system personalization and lists room names according to the most frequently called locations.
Selective Call’s installation is simple and efficient. Just run a single Cat 5 cable from the enclosure to each Selective Call unit, and plug it into an RJ45 connection.
TAMPER-RESISTANT RECEPTACLE COMBINATION DEVICES OFFER THE MOST SOLUTIONS TO PROTECT KIDS
Legrand/Pass & Seymour, a leading manufacturer of electrical wiring devices and home systems, announces the most complete line of Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Combination devices to protect young children from electrical hazards. Meeting 2008 National Electrical Code(r) (NEC) tamper-resistant requirements, the combination devices expand what is already a broad offering of Tamper-Resistant Receptacles for residential and commercial applications.
A Tamper-Resistant Receptacle works like any electrical outlet, except it has a built-in shutter system that prevents children from inserting metal objects into the slots. The shutters obstruct objects from touching electrically live components, but plugs can be inserted and removed as usual.
The Tamper-Resistant Combination devices join a family of products that offer solutions for every home location and purpose, to allow for more functionality in an existing electrical box without breaking sheet rock. A full range of models combine receptacles with switches and LED nightlights. GFCI receptacles are also available in these combinations. The devices come in 15A and 20A versions.
"The Tamper-Resistant combination devices are designed to give users multiple functions in a single product solution," said Tom Roy, residential product manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. "By offering the broadest range of Tamper-Resistant products on the market, we've combined proven safety technology with optimal convenience."
Over 30 states and municipalities have adopted the new Tamper-Resistant Code requirements, and more are be expected to adopt them by the end of 2009.
RESIDENTIAL WALL BOX SENSORS NAMED AMONG 100 BEST NEW PRODUCTS
Legrand/Pass & Seymour, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, has been recognized by Professional Builder magazine for producing one of the 100 Best New Products for 2009, an award which recognizes the most significant products introduced each year. The Residential Wall Box Sensors, vacancy- and occupancy-based lighting controls, earned this distinction.
Editors based their choices on technological advancement, significant product improvement, new product line introduction and increasing the competition of a product line.
The Residential Wall Box Sensors conserve energy and are ideal for stairways, hallways, large spaces, garages and bathrooms. They feature fixed time delays, eliminating the need for end-user adjustments. Those who desire more flexibility can benefit from user-adjustable time delay and ambient light sensing in a 3-way compatible model. All models have 180-degree, 600-square-foot coverage and an LED indicator light provides visibility in darkened rooms.
"The wall box sensors represent just one solution that helps people contribute to a greener environment through the use of energy-efficient lighting controls," said Keith Falkenberg, lighting controls product manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. "With the endless variety of products introduced each year, having the editors rank one of ours among the 100 best is a great honor."
