New ASPIRE RF Smart Dimmer Provides Enhanced Load Compatibility and
Technology to Expand Capabilities
Wireless System Allows Homeowners to Remotely Monitor and Control all Lighting
Loads
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Diversified power management company Eaton announced
today that its ASPIRE RF, Z-Wave-based Smart Dimmer has expanded its load compatibility.
This update allows end users to remotely control and monitor the full dimming range of their
lighting for all common load types, including incandescent, magnetic low voltage, electronic
low voltage, light-emitting diode (LED) and compact florescent (CFL).
“Knowing that so many users are focused on energy-efficient lighting, we’ve challenged our
team to develop products and solutions that allow for seamless integration with our wireless
systems,” said T.J. Landrum, marketing manager, Technology, Eaton’s Cooper Wiring
Devices business. “Using the latest Z-wave technology, our systems do just that – simplify
home automation. Users can enjoy the added peace of mind and energy savings associated
with this innovative, new wireless technology.”
Designed for residential and light commercial applications, the Smart Dimmer System Master
can replace regular switches to provide local and remote ON/OFF, dim and bright control
without having to overhaul wiring. Additionally, the ASPIRE RF’s new, all-load dimmer
features increased flexibility with programmable functions, multi-location control and safety
features, such as child lockout and panic mode.
