Thomas Research Products has also introduced its first certified product as part of the Alliance. The TCM-ZB-D wireless driver control module is a ZigBee Home Automation-certified lighting control product.
The TCM-ZB-D control module is designed for use with LED luminaires powered by TRP’s LED drivers. The device provides wireless ON/OFF with full 0-10V dimming control. This allows end users to take advantage of the full spectrum of today’s lighting control strategies, such as daylight harvesting. The module also stores the last dim setting when powered off. With a small case designed to easily fit in most luminaires, the module operates fixtures on 100-277V circuits. The module is also plenum rated for use in ceiling spaces.
TRP focuses on wireless lighting controls for OEMs that provide simplicity and flexibility to our customers, said TRP Brand Vice President, Greg Andrews. Being part of the ZigBee Alliance allows us to contribute to a meaningful IoT experience as the marketplace delivers smarter products and seamless connections.
