Multiswitches - If you use a satellite dish to receive radio and TV channels, your system may not be able to supply the required number of desired output devices. Depending on which LNB you use on the dish, this also results in the capacity of the installation. Whenever you want to connect more end devices than your LNB has outputs, you need a powerful multi-switch. If required, there is also the option of connecting a terrestrial or cable television signal to the multi-switch on your antenna system. Ultimately, all available input signals are brought together in the multi-switch and distributed to a large number of customers or receivers in the building. Here in your eibabo online shop there are high-quality multiswitches in numerous designs with a different number of connections. Occasionally, a multi-switch is also called a satellite block distributor.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Antenna and satellite technique > Multi switch for communication technology you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:AmplifierBase unitCascade multiswitchChangeover relayCoax relayCoax switchDiSEqC switchDistribution systemDual receiver switcherEnd switch matrixExtension for multiswitchLNB switchLNC switchLoop-through matrixMatrixMulti switchMulti switch for communication technologyMultiple switchMultiswitchPostampReconverterSAT antenna relaySAT multiswitchSAT system switchSatellite antenna boosterSwitch for receiving technologySwitching matrixWaterprooffrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Multiswitches:Astro StrobelHamaKathreinKreilingSpaunTechniSatTelestarTelevesTriaxWisi

Accessories telecomm. system - In the old days, you had to write letters or meet someone in person to be able to communicate with one another. The invention of the telephone, however, changed the way we communicated between people. Now contact could be made easily, quickly, inexpensively and in real time from almost anywhere in the world with any other person. With the establishment of the Internet, our communication options have become even more diverse. So today we communicate a lot more than we did a few years ago and we increasingly use all the technology available to us. The classic area of telecommunications technology, with its mostly wired transmission of information based on electrical signals, was, is and will remain a central cornerstone of global interaction. Devices and installation material for creating your in-house communication networks and for connecting or distributing your telecommunications technology are available in the eibabo online shop.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Data and telecommunication > Accessories for telecommunication technique you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Accessories for communication techniqueAccessories for telecommunication techniqueAccessories for telecommunication technologyAdditional device for telecommunication technologyAutomatic change over switchAutomatic switchDialling deviceDialling/remote control deviceFax selectorFax switchKNX tele control deviceKNX TeleControl deviceLocking devicePower switching devicePower-current switchRemote control deviceRemote switching deviceReverserStand-by starting automaticSupport bellSwitchSwitching relayTariff time switchTele control head-setTelecontrol listening/speaking setTelephone ringer side-unitTelephone/fax/modem switchTwo-way switchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Accessories telecomm. system:CorningDelta DoreMetzRutenbeckSchabusTiptel

Space heater - Wouldn't you like to have an additional heat source in certain situations? For example in the morning in a cold bathroom or on the terrace on a cool autumn evening? With modern radiant heaters, you generate direct heat exactly where you need it. At eibabo® we have a large selection of radiant heaters from all well-known manufacturers such as EHT AEG, Beurer, Vitramo, Rommelsbacher, Etherma, Glen Dimplex or Steba.What types of radiant heaters are there?Radiant heaters are available in different versions and are therefore suitable for a wide variety of purposes. The most frequently requested versions from eibabo® include large-area heaters, linear heaters, quartz heaters (infrared block heaters, halogen infrared heaters), infrared heaters, infrared lamps, changing table heaters, carbon heaters and IR dark heaters. Our range also includes ceiling heating elements in various dimensions, power levels and designs.Many of these radiant heaters also have additional functions, such as:switchable oscillation (automatic swiveling of the radiator)integrated room thermostatdouble insulationsafety shutdownoverheat protection What is the difference between radiant heat and heat by convection?A comparison with convection heaters helps to understand how a radiant heater works. Cold air flows through a convection heater and is heated by fins or similar. Warm air rises and cold air follows. A cycle (convection) is created. This cycle is often supported with fans or blowers until the target air temperature is reached in the entire room. A radiant heater does not directly heat the surrounding air. The device generates thermal radiation. This is transmitted by electromagnetic waves. There is therefore no heat transfer medium and the radiant heat travels through the air with almost no loss. It is only when the waves come into contact with an object or person that they are transformed into heat. The objects absorb the radiant energy and warm up as well as the room. So if a person stands in the radiation area of the heat source, they perceive direct heating. Despite lower air temperatures, this warmth is perceived as pleasant.What is an IR emitter?Many devices are offered as infrared heaters. These emit infrared light, which is not visible to the human eye but can be felt as heat. To create the infrared light, IR emitters use a series of coils and a reflector, which emits the light into space. Already knew?The German-British astronomer Sir William Herschel discovered or proved infrared light in 1800. This way of working has some advantages. Modern infrared heaters start heating bodies and objects as soon as they are switched on. In contrast to heaters with fans, an infrared heater works very quietly. The level of efficiency is very high, since only specific objects and people are heated. Infrared heaters are environmentally friendly and do not emit any pollutants. No fossil fuels or wood are burned.The disadvantages: Infrared heaters emit an orange light. Some people find this annoying. If you are sensitive to light or a light sleeper, an IR emitter in the bedroom is not the right choice for you. Due to the limited heat distribution, IR heaters are not ideal for heating large rooms. Because infrared heaters do not heat the air, the heat dissipates quickly after the heater is turned off.What are ceiling heaters?Ceiling heaters are a special type of heater. The heating panels are installed in the ceiling. These radiant panels then radiate heat to objects and people underneath. As a result, a relatively large area of the room is perceived as pleasantly warm. Seating furniture, tables, floors and other furnishings are heated evenly. The heat is independent of air movement. Ceiling heaters are available for both indoor and outdoor use. They are therefore ideal for covered terraces.When should I choose a quartz heater?Quartz heaters generate intense heat and emit medium to short infrared waves. These heat up the surrounding bodies particularly quickly. Because very high temperatures occur when the radiation is generated, quartz is used as a protective material for the heating element. In the private sphere, quartz heaters are preferably used as wall heaters for terraces and outdoor seating. The devices are also used in various industrial processes, for example drying and curing of materials and thawing of frozen products.Image: Etherma SM-1400-T IR radiant heater SolamagicIs heating with radiant heaters economical?Heating is always associated with costs. Whether a certain type of heating is economical depends on whether it is used correctly or incorrectly. Convection heaters heat the air relatively inefficiently, but are well suited for long-term operation. In general, radiant heaters may have a higher power consumption. However, the devices bring the heat quickly and directly to where you need it. Thanks to this plus in efficiency, you can heat for a shorter time and in a more targeted manner. Conclusion: Used correctly, you heat economically with radiant heaters. It depends on your personal needs. For certain situations or uses, other heat sources would be a poor choice.Can radiant heaters be dimmed?It is not always necessary to use the device at full power. You can regulate the intensity of your infrared radiant heater with a dimmer, for example if only a little additional heat is required on cool evenings or if you are sitting very close to the device. The extensive accessories for radiant heaters include:Dimming modules for the deviceDimmer for the socketRadio dimmer in the form of remote controls or as an app for the smartphoneQuartz heating elements in many different power levels Please noteThere are infinitely dimmable infrared heaters, devices with several heating levels and non-dimmable models. Gradual regulation of the heating output is usually sufficient, especially with radiant heaters for outdoor use. If this function is important to you, take a look at the product description or the data sheet of the device before you buy it.When is a radiant heater right for me?A radiant heater works particularly efficiently when there are objects or people nearby. It doesn't matter whether the room is open or closed. Such a device can be used indoors and (with the appropriate IP protection class) also outside. It is not the air itself that is heated, but rather individual objects or people. The devices therefore represent an interesting alternative for cold rooms such as garages, workshops or cellars. Radiant heaters also ensure pleasant comfort on terraces. Radiant heaters do not cause the air in the room to convect and there are therefore no draughts. This is particularly appreciated by people with asthma, allergies or other breathing problems. Radiant heaters are usually the ideal choice for rooms that are not used for a long period of time during the day or at night. It is not necessary to continuously keep the temperature at a high level. If necessary, a feel-good atmosphere can be created for a limited time and place. A vivid example of this type of interior spaces are bathrooms.What should I look out for when buying a radiant heater?Radiant heaters have different specifications depending on their purpose. Choosing the right device depends, among other things, on the following properties:Where is the device installed?This results in the design as a free-standing device, wall spotlight or ceiling spotlight. Pay attention to the IP protection class for devices for outdoor use.Do I want to be able to control the heating output?Sometimes a simple device with one heat setting is enough. Devices with step switching offer more convenience. The most convenient way is stepless regulation via remote control or app.warmth for the babySome radiant heaters are specially designed for use above the changing table. Keep in mind that to protect the baby, these only generate comfortable heat for a relatively small area. These devices are not suitable for heating the entire children's room.What performance should the device have?Choose a heater according to the size of the area to be heated. For a medium distance, the rough rule of thumb is: 100 watts of heating power for one square meter of area. With an area of 10 m² to be heated, you should therefore choose a room heater with a heating capacity of 1,000 watts. Of course, this information varies with decreasing and increasing distance of the device.How should the device be switched on and off?Standing devices usually have toggle switches or rotary switches on the device. Fixed mount models are either supplied without a switch or can be operated using the internal pull switch on the unit.How much light and noise does a device produce?Light pollution and noise pollution are among the disturbing environmental influences. Basically, infrared heaters produce very little light and noise, which are hardly noticed in everyday life. However, if you plan to use it in quiet rooms such as the bedroom, you should pay special attention to this. If in doubt, opt for a dark radiator. Classic IR emitters offer a clear view of the heating element and emit orange light. This is not the case with the dark radiator. In these models, the heating element is covered with a ceramic plate or a metal plate.

Alarm control panel - Would you like to control and regulate as many functions of your KNX building automation as possible from a central location? Then take a look at our multifunctional alarm control panels. With these convenient control centers, you always have an overview of all the comfort settings, automatisms and security-related parameters integrated in the building network. Read more about the use and function of these devices below.Image: Busch Jaeger 8136/12-811 KNX Comfort PanelWhat is the KNX protocol?In order to be able to understand the full potential of the alarm control panels, you must first know the KNX standard and its possibilities.There is a growing desire for more convenience and versatility in managing the heating, lighting and security of a home or office building. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. People want a comfortable, environmentally friendly and safe environment to live and work in. And this is where automation can make a valuable contribution. More comfort, greater security and at the same time lower power consumption can only be achieved with intelligent controls for all devices involved. However, this is fundamentally a problem, since when implementing such a system, numerous different sensors and actuators must be controlled using different command devices. Furthermore, the large number of cabling means increased construction work and more effort during installation for planners, as well as higher costs for the user. Simplification would require a system that eliminates the problems of isolated devices. And that is KNX. KNX ensures that all components communicate in a common language. It doesn't matter what kind of device you want to use. The functions can be individually adapted to your needs and include, for example:lighting and blindsSecurity systems, alarm and surveillance systemsEnergy management, heating, ventilation, air conditioningremote controlsAudio and video controlsInterfaces to systems for building maintenance and building management All these functions work with the KNX fieldbus for building automation via a single system. All components interact with each other and create a dynamic building control system. With over 500 KNX-compliant manufacturers, flexibility and choice are huge. KNX is thus the global standard for intelligent building control and ensures full compatibility between manufacturers and related products. The KNX system can be used in almost any building or open space - from a small house to a large shopping center or industrial complex.What are KNX annunciator control panels?A KNX annunciator panel and control panel are usually highly complex, room-spanning control devices, infotainment interfaces and entertainment centers. With these devices, the complete control of a KNX building automation can be implemented at a central point.Which controls are possible with alarm control panels?There are countless equipment details for complex, logical functions. These include, among others:switching and dimmingBlind controls and automatisms for shadingroom temperature controlsCentral functions and scene controlsMultimedia, IP telephony, RSS reader, intercom with image, e-mail, voice memo and graphic memoMonitoring of consumption dataDoor communication with integrated camera and proximity sensorVideo surveillance with alarm and reporting function Everything is now possible. More and more KNX manufacturers are also offering direct interfaces to other home automation systems. These include Bang & Olufsen (B&O), Philips, Siemens Logo, Siemens SPS, CoDeSys, Beckhoff, Omron, Mitsubishi and many other systems. The menu structures of the KNX signaling control panels are partly already implemented or completely freely parameterizable.What should I look out for when buying a KNX annunciator control panel?The requirements for operating your building automation can be quite different. Depending on the type and complexity of your system, a simple device may be sufficient or a complex device may be required.Saving TIPIf it is 'only' about basic functions such as dimming, setting blinds or controlling the heating, we recommend our high-quality KNX push-button sensors. These can also be parameterized individually, look smart and are significantly cheaper to buy.This results in some purchase criteria that you can consider when making your choice:What is my budget?Do I need a complex annunciator control panel at all or can I achieve the same result with alternative devices (e.g. a push button sensor)?Which functions do I want to map?What color and design do I like (glass, stainless steel, plastic)?How should it be operated (keys, touch)?Should the bus coupling be integrated?What other interfaces are required?Where and how is the device installed (surface-mounted, flush-mounted)?Do I only need the control element or also mounting material and frame?Should a possible display be in color or is a monochrome variant sufficient?Is a special degree of protection necessary (e.g. for outdoor installation)?and more What should be considered during installation and integration into the home network?The devices are very complex. You should therefore note that commissioning can also be very time-consuming. Integration into a network via KNX IP router (routing & tunneling protocol) or KNX IP interface (tunneling protocol) is often necessary for full functional use, depending on the required protocol. Therefore, please ensure that you also lay a network cable in addition to a 230V AC power supply and the KNX bus cable. designeibabo® offers versions in high-quality stainless steel or with the finest capacitive glass surfaces as well as individual frame designs. This makes these all-rounders an eye-catcher in every multimedia KNX smart home.

Basic enclosure - Imagine you want to protect electronic devices from water, heat, moisture or touch. These can be standard infrastructure devices such as switches, relays, counters or actuators, or other devices. For this purpose, the eibabo® shop offers high-quality empty housings at top conditions. You will find a large selection of plastic and aluminum empty housings for the installation and set-up of electrical distribution boxes and other electrical distributors.What are empty housings?An empty housing is usually a lockable box that accommodates, protects and encloses electronic components such as switches, relays, actuators, power supplies and meters. The housings can be made of different materials. Appropriate sizes are offered according to usage, purpose, environment and cost.What is the difference between the empty housings?Empty housings for electrical distribution are available in various designs. With regard to installation, you can choose between surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation. Depending on the application, such empty housings can be made of painted sheet steel, aluminium, stainless steel, insulating material or plastic. Choose a material that meets your planning needs.Surface mounting or flush mountingChoosing the right type of mounting should not be neglected to ensure safety and achieve optimal functionality. The surface-mounted version is the more common way of installing empty housings. In this case, the attachment is made directly to the wall and the cables are fed into the housing outside the wall. With flush-mounting, the empty housing is let into the wall. The cables are laid inside the wall. Both variants have both advantages and disadvantages:on plaster:easy installationFlexible design optionsNo major conversion work necessarySurface mount can be annoyingCables can be damaged more easily under plaster:Protection against dust and moistureGreater security by laying the cables inside the wallCan be more aesthetically pleasingElaborate installationConversion work often necessary TIP:When installing meters, we recommend empty housings with a transparent cover. This means that the meter reading can be taken directly without having to unscrew the cover. Empty metal housingAluminum housing and stainless steel housing offer good protection for the devices inside. Empty metal enclosures are commonly used as outdoor fuse boxes and electricity meters. In commercial establishments, these enclosures are often used to enclose power equipment around the building or production facility. In industrial plants, metal enclosures protect and protect sensitive electronic components from accidental impact and dirt. Collisions with forklifts or other moving machinery can happen at any time. With metal housings, you prevent interference in electrical systems and thus protect not only the technology, but also the people in the vicinity.Empty plastic housingEmpty plastic enclosures are often made of high-density polyethylene, a strong thermoplastic material. This is resistant to cold, heat, liquids and corrosion, as well as being durable and inexpensive. Other plastic housings are made from acrylic, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or polyamide, for example. The advantages of these variants are:in light weightin cheap pricein the individual formability in the production for special requirementsin the insulating material properties These housings are used wherever no high mechanical or safety-related loads are to be expected. Rather, these empty housings protect against external influences such as contact, dust and water. It is therefore particularly recommended to observe the respective IP protection class for these variants.Picture: Hensel FP 0241 ENYSTAR empty housingWhich IP degrees of protection are recommended for empty housings?The IP degrees of protection classify the protective effect / sealing effect of an empty housing for electrical devices against the ingress of foreign bodies such as tools, dirt and liquid water. IP degrees of protection are defined by the international standard EN 60529.Already knew?The term 'protection class' has nothing to do with the IP protection classes. In electrical engineering, the protection classes describe the protection of electrical equipment to prevent an electric shock when touched. There are protection classes 0, I, II and III and are usually shown as symbols on the respective devices.The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits. The higher the number, the better the protection. The first digit describes the degree of protection that the housing offers against the ingress of solid foreign bodies. These can be pointed tools, sticks, fingers or dirt and dust in the air. Anything that could damage the circuitry or mechanics of the installed equipment. The second digit defines the protection of the devices inside the housing against various forms of moisture. This protection area begins with light drops and leads to splashes and water jets to submersion.Be sure to select an IP protection class that corresponds to the place of use and the probability of hazards occurring. If a housing is installed in a lockable and always dry house connection room without a water connection, a low degree of protection is sufficient. When used outdoors or in other dirty and damp environments, the IP protection class should be as high as possible. The IP 67 ensures, for example:a tightness against foreign bodies up to dustdevice protection even in the event of brief submersion at a depth of up to 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes How should I protect my empty housing from unauthorized access?In addition to protecting the installed technology from external influences, empty housings for electrical devices also protect people. It is irrelevant whether people accidentally come into contact with the housing or want to gain access willfully. If a housing is freely accessible, you will certainly ask yourself whether a normatively flawless locking system has been implemented. At this point it should be said right away that you don't have to worry about it. Protection against unauthorized access is not possible. Nevertheless, all empty housings must be able to be closed in some way. Each manufacturer has its own technology. Plastic screws or metal screws are often used to connect the lid to the box. In other words: Opening and closing is done using classic tools (including screwdrivers) or by releasing locking mechanisms. For security reasons, 'locking' an enclosure is not permitted. In an emergency, access to the internal devices must be guaranteed at all times.Where can I buy cheap and high-quality empty housings?The eibabo® shop offers high-quality, robust and durable empty housings for use as electrical distribution boards, iso housings, housings for field distributions or industrial housings. Well-known manufacturers include Dehn+Söhne, Spelsberg, Rittal, OBO Bettermann, Eaton (Moeller), Hensel, Hager, Klauke, Rose System, Televes, as well as von Striebel&John, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Triax and GSAB Elektrotechnik.
