Electrical systems on levels with UNA

Variant 3 of standard 64-8, in force from September 2011, introduced the classification of the home electrical system in levels, depending on the systems installed.
The correct installation of equipment and accessories of the Master civil series, with the addition of a video entry phone, suffices in itself to guarantee a system with all the security envisaged by level 1 (basic).
To achieve level 2 (standard), in addition to a video entry phone and burglar alarm, there must also be an advanced load control system in place. In the vast offer of Master, load control comes under the functions of a single EvaPower card, an authentic strength of the UNA home automation system, thanks to its measurement of independent loads on each of the 10 outputs.
For an efficient, comfortable home that meets the requirements of level 3 (home automation), Master proposes the innovation and reliability of the UNA home automation system. The UNA system enables your system to evolve simply, introducing any type of management: technical lighting, heat regulation, generic automations with simple independent modules that are supervised by the Vesta system central unit, which also enables system management by means of an interface that is compatible with any Smartphone fitted with a browser and Wi-Fi connection.
So many solutions to ensure the perfect comfort and efficiency level, whatever your preferences.
