Kele Community Blog

Kele Inc has created the Kele Community for you.  Our goal is to make your Kele community the best place on the web to discuss happenings in the building automation industry.

…Screw driver...Pliers...wire cutters...RIB…AUTOPHOS…. No, this is not a script from an OR... But it is a brain transplant, an integrated lighting controls transplant.  

Brain

Kele Inc. will perform a webinar on Retrofitting standalone lighting controls for an integrated lighting controls solution.  Register to attend one of three sessions by clicking on the desired date or go to www.kele.com.  

A standalone lighting control system can have limitations or may be inoperable. What happens when the guy who’s always programmed the system retires? Or better yet, the company making the relays with a high failure rate decides they won’t produce them anymore.  

Building owners are at risk of lighting control systems that can no longer be sustained.

A building with an Automation System provides a single point of control for HVAC, Security, and Lighting.  The integrated retrofit kit enables reuse of materials, reduces labor, but upgrades the “Brains” to superior lighting controls.

Variable Frequency Drives are not new but being able to buy them from Kele is.  Drives have come a long way.  They used to be magic black boxes that required many months of extensive training just to be factory certified enough to open the box they were shipped in.  Now, thanks to leading manufacturers like Mitsubishi and Honeywell, drives can be put in by most competent HVAC and mechanical controls professionals.  Chances are if you are reading this blog, you can put them in.  

 Kele would like to be your VFD source.  We now have an on-line page for our VFD offering at www.kele.com/vfd that we have big plans for.  Check this page regularly for special offers, technical information, and helpful links like this one: DSIRE .  This link will take you to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency which features links to state and local financial incentives that you can use as sales tools.  Government money, when applied properly, can help get a customer off the fence and a purchase order in hand.

Click here to check out our complete list of VFD offerings.  Many units are in stock and ready to ship.  And don’t forget Kele also offers technical support and project pricing for larger jobs.  Kele is ready and able to meet all your building automation system needs.

Do You Tweet Or Use Facebook?

By now you’ve probably heard about Twitter and Facebook, and might even have your own accounts. If you haven’t, Twitter is a kind of microblogging that allows users to read and send messages called “tweets.” By subscribing to a person’s tweets—unformatted messages that can’t be more that 140 characters—you can receive their updates online or by text message. Facebook is an online network where individuals or companies create a profile to stay connected and share information. Each profile can choose who to ”friend,” and can become “fans” of companies or organizations they like.

So what do Twitter and Facebook have to do with the BAS industry? Only time will tell but at Kele, Twitter and Facebook are the newest ways we’re making it easy for you to communicate with us. Find out about our latest promotions and newest products, and give us feedback about your experiences with Kele. If you’d like to be our fan, find our Facebook fan page at Kele Solutions Facebook Page; and if you’d like to receive our tweets, follow us at Kele Solutions Twitter Page

TRION Is Here!

When I started working at Kele, I helped out with the new security business unit—I answered technical calls and worked with customers to help them choose the best products for their needs. It was a learning experience for me, because my background at that point was primarily in HVAC controls and equipment.

During that time, I noticed that most access control systems, including the ones we sold, could not be tied into building automation. When I became product manager for Kele, we began searching for an access control system that our customers would find easy to use and that could be integrated into a building automation system. And we found it.

The TRION Access Control System allows our customers to finally integrate access control into their buildings. Out of the box, the TRION JACE 6 has two reader inputs and can be expanded with an additional 15 remote reader modules for a total of 32 readers. These can be monitored and set up from a built-in browser-based user interface that requires no additional software. The TRION JACE 6 ships with BACnet IP. We are also developing a driver that will be included with the TRION JACE 6 that can be used to integrate our new Autophos lighting panel. If this does not meet your needs, you can become TRION Enterprise Access Certified and expand the system by linking multiple units.

The TRION team and Kele have put a lot of work into bringing this exciting new product to our customers. Help us grow and develop it! Please e-mail any comments and questions you have to TRION@Kele.com, and we will be happy to respond.
