As automation becomes increasingly common, the
number of sensors and actuators is also increasing
– making potential distribution or collection more
complex as a result. DIN 18015-2 also requires
that the RCD be assigned to the circuits in such
a way that switching off an RCD does not lead
to the failure of all circuits.
DIN 18015-2 means that more and more RCDs
(residual current devices) are being installed
in modern residential buildings. The challenge
is to implement the many neutral conductor
connections in the distributor behind the RCD -
as well as the potential distribution for the sensors
and actuators – saving as much space and time
as possible.
The PTFIX distribution blocks make this work
considerably easier. They meet the requirements
of EN 60998-1/2 (connection material for
low-voltage circuits for household and similar
purposes).
Phoenix Contact offers the distribution blocks
in five versions, each with 2, 4, 6, 12, and 18
terminal points internally connected - with or
without an additional feed connection. Blocks
with a nominal cross-section of up to 4 mm² are
available.
One huge advantage: all the distribution blocks
come with the simple Push-in direct connection
technology. This enables fast assembly without the

need for any tools in just seconds. To disconnect,
the orange push button can be operated with
any tool that is like a screwdriver.
For intuitive and safe installation, the PTFIX blocks
are available in many colours - such as brown,
blue or green-yellow. For example, the wire
colours of the outgoing installation correspond
to the colour-matched distributor connections.

Smart Home Made Simple
Aurora’s AOne comprises a very wide range of
smart lighting and control solutions for numerous
applications. Compatible with SmartThings,
Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, the AOne
covers power, lighting and control.
The system is simple and can be installed in just
a few steps. As a wireless solution, AOne is very
inexpensive and practical for retrofitting. AOne
is not only suitable for private homes, but also
for the hospitality and retail sectors.
The expanded system has already been launched
in the UK and South Africa. Europe will follow in
January 2020 and support the radio protocols
Zigbee and Bluetooth.
The AOne portfolio includes a number of “Smart
Inside devices”, including GU10 lamps and LED
strip controllers as well as kinetic wall switches
and 16 A inline relays. Thanks to the simple
installation of the AOne system, any environment
can be controlled intelligently using the app, wall
switch or remote control.
Thanks to the numerous functions, the user can
create and manage rules and groups. This
enables the automated control of lighting from
anywhere in the world. It can be dimmed or
switched on and off at any time - which can
save a considerable amount of energy. If there
is no internet connection, the devices can still be
controlled locally.
The AOne portfolio also includes various remote controls
and wall switches, for example rotary dimmers or the smart,
wireless and battery-free AOne Kinetic wall switch.
