THE CONNECT RADIO VALVE DRIVE - SIMPLY ENERGY SAVING
Energy saving made easy! The CONNECT radio valve drive for radiators can be used to enable local manual setting to the required room temperature. In addition, the temperature can be reduced/increased by approx. 4°C by radio via the CONNECT radio central unit.
Every degree reduction in temperature saves up to 6% energy costs. This isn't only kind to your wallet, but your customers will be making an active contribution to protecting the environment.
In order to connect the CONNECT radio valve drive to the radio system, you need the corresponding update for the radio central unit. You can find that here:

THE CONNECT RADIO SYSTEM - NO WORRIES ON HOLIDAY
Do your customers want their house to look occupied while they are enjoying their holiday? The CONNECT radio system can do that for you too.
Before your customers leave the house, they activate the CONNECT radio central unit "Presence simulation". Every night, the intelligent time switch function radios the CONNECT central radio unit to automatically lower the electrically driven roller shutters in your house and raises them again the next morning. In addition, the lighting automatically turns itself on and off via a time switch function both inside and outside the house. That way your house looks occupied even in your absence and you can enjoy your holidays with an untroubled mind.
SWITCH - THE MERTEN MAGAZINE - ISSUE 2
The first "Switch" had hardly been issued when it received the prestigious "red dot award: communication design".
In the second issue of our magazine, we also want to show you the activities we are using to communicate our fascination with switching to the public. It will contain the latest product developments from Merten and will tell you about the architects and designers who use our products all over the world.
You will find out why a modern call centre has little in common with the switchboard of yesteryear and how both systems can still be considered "switching centres". You will meet Lars Teichmann, who has implemented projects worldwide as an associate at the office of architect Zaha Hadid, and routinely thinks about the smallest details of large buildings. See for yourself how excellently our "round switch" fits into various living contexts and how our switch range goes with the latest architecture. And many other exciting subjects.
AQUASTAR - NOW IN POLAR WHITE
Now the complete AQUASTAR range is also available in polar white.
Neither moisture nor splashing water can affect AQUASTAR. This special surface-mounted range, featuring tough plastic housing, can handle heavy mechanical stress as well. The shock-resistant plastic housing meets IP44 standards and retains its protective qualities even at low temperatures. It is tailor made for robust, everyday use. This is what the AQUASTAR range was developed and constantly improved for.
IP TOUCH PANEL 10" - TRUE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES
The ability to influence every event. And always having everything in view and under control - classic leadership qualities that are also in demand in intelligent building management. The new IP Touch-Panel 10" has them – and is visually impressive across the board.
Current statuses of buildings and functions can be displayed clearly and controlled conveniently with this unit. Operation is interactive on the touch-sensitive TFT display. Windows CE is installed as the operating system.
This is the ideal condition for the quick and easy configuration of solutions such as data management, web, client/server and network functions.
On request, the aluminium front cover in M-PLAN design can also be exchanged for an M-PLAN real glass frame which is available separately.
SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS – KNOWLEDGE FOR YOUR SUCCESS
Broaden your professional horizons in seminars and workshops. Here you can find out all about "Solutions for intelligent buildings". Underpinned with theory, demonstrated using practical examples and explained by highly experienced professionals.
Take this opportunity to expand your professional skills. You can do this intensively at our specialist seminars, or in a shortened, condensed form in our workshops. We look forward to your visit.
SCHATTDECOR – MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND MERTEN DESIGN
When building a new company head office in Thansau in Bavaria, the Schattdecor company group relied on Merten's products and building system solutions. They wanted to create harmony between innovative technology and modern design that suits the architecture while retaining functionality.
To meet the requirements of this modern building installation, they decided upon an interaction between the KNX bus system and the Merten radio system.
Matching the buildings colour scheme, adhesive, aluminium-coloured radio pushbuttons were placed in the offices and hallways and connected to the KNX bus system via radio gateway.
