User Manual
Mood lighting affects the elderly residents‘
daily program and thus adds to their wellbeing.
The residents are thus taken to their rooms at
the right time in the evening.
Color-coded switches simplify operation for the
elderly. This eases the workload on the carers,
because they are not called on so often for help.
More efficiency in
building management
• With its central visualization, GAMMA
instabus permits an up-to-date picture
of the whole building and the opera-
tion of all building functions. This sup-
ports efficient building management
in rest and nursing homes.
• Energy readings and consumption data
can be recorded and routed to the cen-
tral visualization. In this way, energy
shortfalls can be detected and cor-
rected.
• By connecting to the available data net-
works (LAN and Internet) or a building
control system, the building manage-
ment can cover several parts of the
building or buildings. Even distributed
rest and nursing homes can be man-
aged ideally using the current status
information.
• With central monitoring and control
of several rest and nursing homes or
buildings, staff costs can be reduced.
• GAMMA instabus does not cause any
additional costs for special monitor-
ing systems. Any light switch or mo-
tion sensor operated in a temporarily
unused area can, for example, trigger
an alarm message.
• To reduce energy costs, consumption
data can be recorded for analysis, load
peaks capped and currently unneeded
consumers switched off. For example,
in peak periods, the output from the air
conditioning system can be reduced
temporarily, in some areas.
• Operating costs can be reduced priori-
tizing maintenance and repair accord-
ing to need. This is made possible by
counting operating hours and switch-
ing cycles, as well as lighting failure
reports.
Process support
• Daytime-dependent mood lighting af-
fects the natural day cycle for the resi-
dents and thus contributes to their well-
being. They will be taken to their rooms
in the evening at the right time. In the
morning, the residents can be woken
gently by automatic opening of the
blinds and slow turning up of the light-
ing. This takes a load off the staff.
• Color-coded switches also simplify
operation for the residents. This saves
the carers time, because faulty opera-
tion is less frequent.
