Wiring outlets for hotels

Interconnection
Legrand’s new range of Arteor wiring devices includes technologically advanced systems designed especially for the hotel environment.
The Arteor bedside unit is a touch interface system that can simultaneously control blinds, curtains and lighting remotely, without the guest having to move. Easy-to-programme scenarios can be used to adapt lighting to suit specific requirements. Data and multimedia sockets provide easy access to the Internet and allow the guest to connect electronics devices, like an MP3 player, digital camera, portable DVD or laptop computer, to the hotel TV system.
The Arteor internal unit has been designed to allow guests to advise staff from inside their rooms whether they want the room to be cleaned, or if they do not want to be disturbed. The external unit, which allows staff to see the room status at a glance, enables methodical time management of the hotel’s cleaning team.
Hotel equipment, including call indicators, illuminated signs and buzzers, are available with a square or round design. Arteor devices have a bevelled profile which gives the illusion that the product is not attached to the wall. The ‘bi-material’ plates are extra-flat and slim lined, reminiscent of the contemporary flat-screen design. Multistandard sockets enhance convenience for international visitors because there is no need to use an adapter.
Arteor shaver sockets, with a double wound isolating transformer and an automatic self-setting overload feature, are designed for optimum safety. They have a dual voltage output of 120 V and 230 V and are available in white or magnesium.
Another option available in this modular range is an energy-saving key fob switch. When entering or leaving a hotel suite, the guest uses an access card to activate and switch off the electrical services of the room, thus reducing electricity consumption. This card facility, which controls lighting, air conditioning, sound equipment and the television, is fitted with a preset time delay of 30 seconds after removal of the card.
