Residential

Changes to household consumer units as a result of amendment 3 to
BS 7671:2008 wiring regulations coming into effect 1st Jan 2016, requires
consumer unit enclosures to be manufactured from a non-combustible
material. Hager provide a multi-range approach to this market aimed at
installations from where consumer units are on show in hallways etc, to
installations where the aesthetics of the board are less important due to
the board being positioned out of sight.

The design 30 range of consumer units is aimed at where the aesthetics
of the board are more important and comes with the additional features
of a meter-tail clamp to prevent any movement of the tails being transmitted
to the switch terminals and a rear cable entry plate to protect incoming
cables from sharp edges.

The design 10 range is aimed at where the aesthetics of the installation
are less important and the clamp and entry plate are available as extra's.
Both ranges utilise rectangular cable entries to line up traditional
installations with surface mounted cables in trunking.

A full range of non-combustible consumer units including surface, dual
row and flush / semi-flush offers are available in each of the ranges.

Klik

Klik, which has been widely used throughout the construction industry
for more than 30 years, is a market-leading range of lighting distribution
products, based on a pluggable lighting connection system. Klik 7 Pin
delivers up to 70% reduction in labour time compared to fixed wiring
installation. It is also safer, both when it is installed and throughout its
lifecycle.

Over the decades Klik has evolved with the construction industry and its
associated markets; it has adapted to meet the customer’s increasing
requirements for lighting control, including the desire to use digital
dimmable ballasts, to vary light according to occupancy and the natural
light available, the need to comply with building regulations and to
maximise energy and cost savings.

More recently, Hager introduced the Klik Lighting Control Module (LCM),
which offers a flexible and easy plug-and-play solution wherever
multi-channel control is needed. Today, Klik comprises a seven pin
system that enables switching, control (via KNX, DALI, DSI) and
emergency lighting. This, combined with its remarkable ease of
installation, makes Klik 7 Pin the ideal solution for buildings that are
needed quickly, must support a range of uses and functions, and may
need to change, adapt or extend in the future.
