A HOUSE THAT THINKS FOR ITSELF
Berker instabus EIB is an intelligent system which interconnects your electrical appliances via a trip line. This allows you to control several different appliances simultaneously. With just one control display or a small number of switches you can control the lights, the heating, the window shutters or the alarm system. If you prefer, you can even call up functions or status from your PC or Palm. You can even teach your house to look after itself in specific areas. It can detect good or bad weather using sensors, and close the shutters automatically if necessary. That means that even when you are not at home, you can be sure your house is looking after itself.
BERKER COMFORT Use the info display to operate and monitor the entire system in a user-friendly way. From one place with just a few presses of the button. A clear, easy to navigate menu, of course.
36
BERKER CLIMATE Heating systems are more effective if they are connected to contacts on doors or windows. They will then know when windows or doors are open and adjust the heating accordingly.
BERKER RESOURCE conservation With the intelligent coupling of thermostats, sensors and actuators your house automatically responds to any weather. It controls the heating precisely according to requirements, saving you time and money. This also conserves environmental resources.
BERKER INSTABUS EIB BERKER ambience Every mood has the right lighting situation. Simply store your ideal combinations for eating, working and watching TV and then call up your light scenarios with the press of a button.
BERKER SIMPLICITY Clear and easy-to-understand: the info display is just one of the ways in which we have made controlling your home as simple as possible. You can then concentrate on the important things in life.
BERKER Security You can switch on the lights all around the house at the press of a button. If you hear a noise at night, for example. Good for your security, bad for uninvited guests.

The Berker radio bus system is the ideal way to update your electrical installation without having to replaster the walls. The Berker radio bus system fits in anywhere. With just a few components you can equip your house, apartment or office to make your life more comfortable and secure.

All you need to do is press a button on the hand-held or wall-mounted transmitter and a radio signal will transmit your request to one or more receivers around the house. The small flat wall transmitters are battery operated like the hand-held transmitter and easily attach anywhere, even onto glass surfaces. The receivers are available in the same way as normal light switches and dimmers as wall inserts, as corded dimmers freestanding lamps or as radio adapter plugs for the socket outlet. As built-in receivers they can be conceald just about anywhere, and with suspended ceilings can be connected direclty to an appliance or light source. It is also easy to take the radio bus with you if you move house. For more information, please ask for the special brochure.
