Philips Pronto launches a line of accessories (designed by Polar Bear Solutions) to enhance the company's control solutions and give integrators new options when installing any Pronto product.
The new line consists of two wall docking stations, a power sensor relay and a video sensor.
The wall docking stations (PBS9600W and PBS9800W) flush mount in-wall docks to allow the Pronto TSU9600 and TSU9800 control panels to be stored in-wall.
The PBS9600W allows for removal of the TSU9600 from the wall allowing for mobility while retaining functionality. The 9600W wall docking station also has a unique feature and hosts a set of four built-in buttons located at the base of the dock to be used for critical services (regardless of whether the Pronto TSU9600 is charging in the dock or has been left elsewhere in the room). These buttons allow for integration into an existing lighting control solution such as a Lutron or iLight system. (Or you can control a projector screen or automate some other aspects of the home.)
The PBS9800W flush wall mount kit comes in two parts, the wall box and the main caddy and frame. The bezel can be removed to gain access to the USB connector and power switch necessary for updating, without the need to remove the complete unit from the wall.
The Power Sensor Relay PBS1001S is small and sits in line with the main supply to a DVD player, flat screen TV, STB, or any other device, and monitors energy usage. The PBS1001S also has the ability to shut off main power to the equipment it is connected to, allowing installers to create more energy efficient installations.
The Video Sensor (PBS1002S) works with the Pronto extender RFX9600 and connects to an unused composite video output from a DVD player, flat screen, STB, or other device and monitors the signal produced from that device. The unit provides physical feedback (via an output contact) to indicate if the signal is present.
