|
| Do
I need to buy my CAT5e cable through Colorado vNet?
|
No, unlike our competitors, you can buy your cable from your favorite
suppliers without affecting the system warranty. It keeps your costs down and
convenience up. |
|
| How does the rocker-style touchpad work?
|
The basic technology uses capacitive sense,
similar to ATM machines. The
circuits electronically interpret the touch location of your finger. This data
is then mapped to the software to permit unique button sizes, locations and
functions (up, down, on, off). Builder™ software provides several templates to
make the job easy. |
|
| How
do I print those gorgeous keypad labels with custom graphics?
|
Through vNet Builder™ Software you can import any
number
of JPEGs, etc. for
backgrounds. You can also use third party tools such as Adobe Illustrator to
provide special affects (e.g. alpha blending) before importing. |
|
| What’s the best way to get a rocker-style touchpad to match the wallpaper?
|
Photograph the wallpaper and use the image as a
background for the Touchpad
label. Also insert a piece of wallpaper into a clear cover faceplate. (Home
Depot carries Paper-It-Wallpaper, single gang SKU 830321, dual gang SKU
830356). When done with care, the entire assembly will blend perfectly with the
wallpaper. It looks great! |
|
| Can
the vNet system integrate with other systems (Crestron, AMX, etc.)?
|
Yes – the RS-232 Gateway allows the vNet system to
be integrated with third party systems. |
|
| Who
receives the emails about system problems?
|
The integrator configures the addresses that will
receive these. Multiple
addresses may be configured. |
|
| Can
motor speed be controlled?
|
The Dimming Module is designed to control both
lamp and motor loads. Each
leg will control up to a 1/8 HP variable-speed motor load, and with ganging up
to a 1 HP motor may be controlled. |
|
| Can
sunrise, sunset and time of day be used to govern system behavior?
|
Yes. The bridge uses zip codes to determine
sunrise/sunset times, and these
can be used to trigger or govern events. For example, outdoor PIR-actuated
lights can be configured to turn on only after sunset. |
|
| Is
coding needed to implement advanced conditional control logic?
|
No – even advanced conditional logic up to three
levels deep is done with a simple GUI. |
|
| What
are the differences between the Starhub 10 and Starhub 20?
|
The Starhub 10 and Starhub
20 are designed to mount in
a wall cabinet and support up to 10 or 20 module connections, respectively, and are
daisy-chainable for expansion. |
|
| How
does the system support the construction phases? Can I delay purchasing
equipment until near finishing?
|
The Wall Cabinets and Dimmer Module Rough-In Kits
are the only components
installed during rough-in. Romex may be pulled at any time, and the Dimming
Module Rough-In Kit provides for temporary construction lighting if desired.
Both the Wall Cabinets and Dimmer Module Rough-In Kits include mud guards to
protect their interior until finishing phase, when the remaining modules are
installed. |
|
| Is
the system UL listed? Other certifications?
|
Yes, all components of the system are UL or ETL recognized and are labeled for inspection. |
|
| What
is meant by “No Central Processor”? How does the system execute
conditional control logic?
|
Unlike traditional systems which use central
processors to evaluate inputs and
create conditional control commands, the vNet system uses distributed
intelligence. Each module contains its own microprocessor and instructions for
how to respond to events. In the event of a processor failure, only the
affected module needs to be replaced, and the rest of the system continues
operating normally. |
