Crestron IPAC-GL1 Controls Green Light Power Switching

Crestron has unveiled its new IPAC (Integrated Professional Automation Computer) 2-Series processor, the IPAC-GL1, for lighting and automation.

The compact unit, designed to be mounted in a standard 3-gang electrical box, is used as the central control processor for a Crestron Green Light power switching system. It has built-in relays, sensor inputs, Ethernet, Cresnet, and RS-232 ports for connectivity.

Other features:

• Onboard e-Control Web server
• Up to 210 switched loads
• Cameo keypads (up to 16 total)
• 41 occupancy sensors and photo sensors
• 100 time clock events

The IPAC-GL1 uses a built-in astronomical clock to automatically turn lights on and off. Lighting events may be programmed to specific times or at an offset.

Occupancy sensors may also be implemented to enable automatic on/off lighting control based on room occupancy and ambient light levels.

The IPAC-GL1, available in black or white, can be customized to integrate with Crestron's touchpanels, wireless remotes, lighting dimmers, shade controllers, and thermostats. It can also interface with third-party devices.

Pricing and availability weren't announced.
