Europe - ETC’s new Foundry Switch Panel is a high-performance power control solution designed specifically for the 230V market. It’s packed with features to help manage today’s modern electrical loads and tools to help venues intelligently manage their energy usage. Capable of 12-, 24-, or 48-channels of switched power, it is built in ETC’s European factory for use throughout EMEA and other 230V markets.
“We listened to what was needed for the venues and electricians in the 230V market and designed a complete solution to make installation and maintenance easy,” says ETC market manager Rory Fraser-Mackenzie. “The Foundry Switch Panel follows EU design protocols, wiring standards, and methodology so electricians can get it working quickly – resulting in less work for your onsite team.”
Today’s systems use electricity differently and the Foundry Switch Panel is built to handle those needs, while preparing venues for the future. The Foundry Switch Panel intelligently reduces in-rush with phased switch-ons, with optional per-circuit power and current monitoring and reporting, and features fan-less construction for silent, reliable operation.
The Foundry Switch Panel DMX model is a simple, easy-to-use panel, with effortless configuration through NFC using ETC’s Set Light app, or via RDM. The mid-tier Connect model adds in a full-featured processor for sACN support, web UI and more detailed configuration options. The Report model further adds per-circuit current monitoring to report on current, real and apparent power, as well as counting usage in kWh. In every model, circuits are protected with RCD breakers, with a choice of RCD per 4 or RCBO per channel.
The Foundry Switch Panel seamlessly integrates into the ETC ecosystem, pairing nicely with ETC consoles and ETC’s architectural controls. Configuration is a breeze via app, web interface, RDM, or on-board interface, depending on the model.
