Cover Story
Bypass the stress
of your applications!
Altistart 22
Soft starters for 3-phase AC motors up to 315kW
Incorporating advanced protection and motor control
features into a compact design with internal bypass, the
all-new Altistart 22 is the truly cost-effective soft start/
stop solution. Altistart 22 is designed for all standard
applications for asynchronous motors up to 315kW
(400V supply), including pumps, fans, conveyors,
compressors etc. It stands out as a mid-range starter by
bringing features normally expected in high-end starters
into a very competitive package.
Optimum use of energy with internal
bypass function:
Integrated bypass contacts ensure you are installing an
energy efficient motor starter solution. Heat dissipation
by the starter is kept to a minimum, thus reducing
running costs compared to a starter without bypass.
Further benefits include reduced wiring, number of
components, and cabinet space. The starter itself
remains very compact, so you can optimise the size
of the electrical enclosure.
Protect your installations:
By minimising jolts and shocks, Altistart 22 reduces
mechanical and electrical stresses on your machines,
thus increasing their service life. Advanced protection
features are included to monitor the motor, the electrical
installation and your machine. Protection features include
configurable motor thermal protection, integrated PTC
input, monitoring of the duration and number of starts,
detection of phase sequence and loss, under and over
load (electronic shear-pin) protection etc.
Motor control:
Unlike most low-end starters, the Altistart 22 manages
all three motor phases so it has full control and
monitoring of the motor at all times. The torque ramp
feature ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration
of the load, especially in pumping applications where
water hammer is to be avoided. Current limit, initial
voltage and boost functions allow precise tuning of the
motor response.
4 Schneider Electric News April 2010
Simplified start up and operation:
There are no fiddly switches or dials on the Altistart 22.
It has a built in keypad and digital display allowing the
user to quickly and permanently set up the starter for the
application. From factory only a few parameters need to
be set for most applications, while the user can activate
the advanced parameter menus for more demanding
applications. Four LEDs show the status of the starter
at a glance, while fault information is displayed in case
of a trip.
> Reduce costs with
integrated bypass and
protection features!
Cover Story
Optimised for your applications:
The Altistart 22 is optimised for standard class 10
motor protection applications. An increased number of
starts can be achieved with the optional heat sink fan
module for starters up to 170A. The starter can also be
re-rated for 6-wire (inside delta) connection. Integrated
application-specific functions optimise the control of your
machines:
Centrifugal pump
>> Soft stop with torque ramp reduces water hammer
>> Cavitation protection (under-load detection)
>> Phase reversal protection
Fan
>> Detection of under/over load
>> Torque ramp function for smooth start/stop
Screw compressor
>> Phase reversal protection
>> Output to signal automatic draining when stopped
Conveyor
>> Over-load monitoring to detect a blockage
>> Under-load monitoring to detect a broken
transmission
Fans
>> Boost function to overcome static torque on start up
Agitator/Mixer
>> Current display to estimate density of the material
>> Boost function on start up
Communication for integration:
The Altistart 22 has a built-in Modbus interface for
monitoring and control from an automation system. The
port can also be used to connect the starter to SoMove
Lite PC software, or connect to the optional remote
keypad display panel.
Pumps
Optimised for most standard applications, the Altistart 22
ticks all the boxes when it comes to simplicity, protection
features, and performance, all in a compact package.
Sizes up to 170A (90kW) will be available from April.
Larger sizes will be available soon after.

data solutions
Rangitoto College on
Auckland’s North Shore
is New Zealand’s largest
and most diverse college
with 3200 pupils including
foreign language students
accommodated on a
31 hectare campus.
In September 2009, the New Zealand Ministry of Education included
Rangitoto College in its School Network Upgrade Program (SNUP3),
a government initiative to vastly improve network and data solutions
throughout New Zealand schools.
Senior Ministry ICT consultant Douglas Harré says the Rangitoto College
data and network infrastructure upgrade represents a significant $1 million
investment and provides a benchmark for future network upgrades across
the school sector.
He says the nature of the project meant the solutions adopted and the
outcomes achieved will help determine and shape the scope of future
network upgrades at other New Zealand schools.
“It was critical, therefore, that the Ministry’s network designers specify
future-proof network and data solutions that would not just meet school
requirements today but well into the foreseeable future.”
This called for data and network technologies with backwards compatibility,
seamless integration with existing services, ample headroom and robust
quality components and engineering suitable for the challenging school
environment.
Schneider Electric Titanium top of class
When structured cabling specialist Cablenet NZ was awarded the
Rangitoto College contract it had a choice of eight ministry-approved
technology providers with appropriate solutions but specified just one –
Titanium from Schneider Electric NZ.
Cablenet NZ director Terry Powell says ministry requirements for seamless
integration and project-wide systems compatibility were able to be
delivered by a Schneider Electric Titanium solution.
He says the scale of the project and the tight nine-week timeframe to
complete it meant Cablenet NZ required absolute supply certainty from its
technology provider in order to meet its own contractual obligations.
“Schneider Electric’s commitment to our electrical wholesaler to meet the
specification and put in place contingencies to secure additional product if
required cemented our decision to rely on Schneider Electric and Titanium
products.”
Moreover, Cablenet NZ’s familiarity with Schneider Electric Titanium and the
advantages Titanium Category 6 Modular Jacks, patchpanels and C2000
wall plates bring to a large structured cabling project are significant in terms
of installation speed and ease.
Terry says it was also important as a showcase data installation that
Cablenet NZ deliver a solution that delivered both form and function.
“From a purely aesthetic viewpoint Schneider Electric Titanium solutions
allowed us to achieve a consistent look throughout the school with
matching data and electrical wall plates for a stylish and professional look.”

Burning the midnight oil
Rangitoto College network systems architects and project managers
Torque IP says the project was particularly challenging for the contractor
because of the tight timeframe and network infrastructure requirements.
Project manager Phil Earl says “the specification called for 90 kilometres of
Category 6 UTP cable, 3.3 kilometres of fibre optic backbone, 1854 data
outlets and 79 network switches.
The project commenced in mid-November 2009 and was completed on
time and on budget on January 31, 2010.
Phil says “the successful outcome reflects the professionalism of Cablenet
and its ability to work constructively and cooperatively with the College
to minimise any impact the project may have had on senior student
examinations.”
“Supply delays due to the economic recession meant some suppliers had
reduced stock levels of critical items which meant the work plan needed
constant adjustment.”
“This resulted in Cablenet having to work seven days a week and night
shifts to meet the deadline and have the College’s network systems
functioning normally for the start of the 2010 school year.”
“Good communication between the project managers, the College and the
contractors meant these challenges could be overcome without impacting
on the daily operation of the College.”
Business as usual
Rangitoto College Associate Principal Don Hastie says that from a school
end-user perspective project success is measured first by the functionality
of existing network and data systems within the school.
“This is essential at the start of a new school year and, anecdotally, I can
say our data and network services are functioning faster, more reliably and
in more places around the school.”
Don says the new infrastructure will provide much greater E learning
opportunities for students and the wider community through the school’s
continuing education facilities.
“Wireless internet, VoIP, school roll and attendance applications and
password-protected parent access to the school’s central data library are
just a handful of the applications now possible.”
Don says any infrastructure project of this magnitude carries end-user risk
and credits the successful outcome to effective communications between
the Ministry of Education, project management team, the contractor and
the solution providers.
“It’s an awesome result achieved in a challenging environment and very
tight timeframe. We couldn’t be happier.”
Conclusion
Schneider Electric Business Development Manager Graeme
Thomas says: “We are pleased to have worked with our
customers Ideal Electrical, CableNet, TorqueIP and the M.O.E.
to deliver our award winning Titanium data solution into New
Zealand’s largest school. The large scale and difficult nature of the
project allowed Schneider Electric NZ to demonstrate its capability
of supplying a best of breed power and data bundled solution for
a future-proofed infrastructure that will keep pace with end-user
demand for years to come.”

Simply smarter homes
from Schneider Electric NZ
When the lead electrical contractor on a multi-million dollar
residential project on Auckland’s North Shore sat down with
the owners and asked what level of automation they wanted
in their new home you could have heard a pin drop.
“The owners had little concept of home automation and to avoid losing them in
technical detail I showed them a recent installation at the Sentinel in Takapuna and let
them discover for themselves the power and simplicity of a C-Bus home automation
solution.
“They were sold on the look of the C-Bus colour touch screen controller and the
functionality of Dynamic Labelling Technology (DLT) and the aesthetics of colourmatched Saturn 250V wiring accessories.”
With an ‘open’ brief for a complete whole-home C-Bus solution to manage every
aspect of lighting, heating and distributed home audio Jon brought in approved C-bus
installer Adam While from Lloyd Electrical to plan, install and program the C-Bus
network.
Spread over two levels with formal dining and family rooms downstairs and five large
bedrooms with ensuites upstairs, a pool house and multiple garaging the project called
for not one C-Bus network, but three.
Adam says the more the owners discovered about the capability of C-Bus the wider
and more varied their automation requirements became. This, he says, necessitated
three separate C-Bus networks.
Form and function
Almost one kilometre of Cat 5 C-Bus cabling and more than 30 hours of programming
has delivered a C-Bus solution that has exceeded client expectations for a whole-home
solution with form and function.
Adam says the real measure of an effective home automation solution is how
comfortable end-users are with it.
“An automated solution can have all the intelligence in the world but it’s useless if
owners aren’t comfortable using it. This is where C-Bus excels. The intuitive touch
screen controller and DLT network switches makes scene selection as simple as
pushing a button.”
Simplicity through design
At the heart of the C-Bus installation is the central 6.4 inch wall-mounted Colour Touch
Screen that displays menus in a variety of formats from sliders, images and buttons
that perform C-Bus functions when pressed.
From the controller end-users simply scroll through the onboard menu and select the
function they require and touch the touch-sensitive screen. Pre-programmed lighting
and audio scenes give end-users the ability to select the lighting and or audio function
and settings to suit any occasion.
8 Schneider Electric News April 2010
Adam says lighting scenes range from formal entertainment to inside
and alfresco dining, family relaxing and home theatre, welcome home,
all-off, all-on and area and security lighting options.
“Technical and product support is also extremely important on an
installation of this size and Schneider Electric’s C-Bus product and
technical support team have been behind us every step of the way.
It is a great outcome and the owners are rapt.”
With a simple touch of the screen C-Bus automatically switches
and dims lighting appropriate to the selected scene and maintains
pre-programmed light levels until switched off. The controller then
automatically resets C-Bus to resume normal lighting.
The controller also includes a built-in real time clock for automatic
scheduling of switching whether it’s daily, weekly, monthly or annually.
And because C-Touch is programmed with Windows-compatible
software C-Touch can be programmed for any number ‘of custom
applications.
C-Bus functionality and simplicity is further enhanced throughout the
home with 18 Dynamic Labelling Technology (DLT) switches, each with
eight programmable buttons for convenient C-Bus group/scene control.
The DLTs impact-resistant glass cover plates ensure seamless and
aesthetic compatibility with more than 150 Saturn 250V glass facia
power outlets and wiring accessories fitted throughout the home.
Adam says these have been configured according to their location in the
home but give the owners the ability to switch, for example, all lights on
or off from their bedroom and switch outside area and security lighting.
“They also have a one-touch switch option that will turn on and dim
orientation lighting upstairs so they can move around without disturbing
guests. This level of functionality extends to heating with a one-touch
option to remotely switch any one of six heated towel rails in the
upstairs bathrooms.
“C-Bus also interfaces with the under-floor hot water heating system
and allows pre-programmed control according to seasonal variations.
C-Bus application further extends to the pool house where pool lighting,
spa lighting, blower and RGB LED lighting is switched and dimmed via
C-Bus.”
He says eight C-Bus enabled stereo amplifiers distribute audio
throughout the home giving owners total audio management including
volume control from the outside pool house.
“Again, selecting from DVD, CD, home theatre, i-Pod or radio (and
station selection) is as simple as scrolling through the menu and
pushing a button.”
Jon King says C-Bus functionality also delivers a high-level of energy
efficiency with the integration of 22 C-Bus multi-sensors with built-in
occupancy and light-level sensors.
“While functionality and scene control was the key driver on this project,
the C-Bus solution will achieve significant energy savings because all
but two of the home’s 525 light fittings are integrated into the C-Bus
solution.
“From the driveway and garden lighting to the garage and entrance
lighting all controlled by sensors the owners don’t have to worry about
switching lights off behind them. It’s all taken care of.”
Jon says from a contractor perspective C-Bus is both a reliable and
robust set and forget solution that even reboots and restores settings
in the event of power failure.

NZ Proudly sponsors
Alan Yardley and
‘Mephisto’ in 2010
This year, Schneider Electric is proud to announce our
sponsorship of ‘Mephisto’, the racing yacht of staff
member Alan Yardley.
Alan, newly appointed National Sales Manager of the Installation
Systems and Control Technology team, has been sailing his yacht
‘Mephisto’ since 1993, and is taking part in two major races in 2010. As
skipper of ‘Mephisto’, Alan sails both solo and with a crew and enjoys
the challenges involved in sailing.
“I first brought ‘Mephisto’ over from the UK. That trip took about eight
months, and was quite an adventure. ‘Mephisto’ has certainly had her
fair share of excitement. It’s all a bit of fun really,” says Skipper, Alan.
‘Mephisto’ is a 12.6m cutter rigged sloop yacht built in 1983 specifically
for racing and fitted out in the USA. It is a pedigree vessel with a proud
history and has won over 20 high profile races in her lifetime.
Alan, with the support of Schneider Electric, will sail ‘Mephisto’ solo
across the Tasman Sea in the 2010 Solo Tasman yacht race on the 4th
of April. The race takes approximately 7 to 10 days and will cross 1283
nautical miles.
Alan and his crew will then go on to compete in the famous 2010
Sydney to Hobart yacht race on the 26th of December which takes
approximately 5 days and crosses 630 nautical miles.
“The Solo Tasman race is the only single handed race of its kind in
the Southern Hemisphere, and I’ll be facing 24 competitors. I’m really
prepared this time around and am looking to beat my placing from last
year,” said Alan.
‘Mephisto’ will be made available for corporate hospitality
day adventures. Please contact Alan Yardley at alan.yardley@
nz.schneider-electric.co.nz or on 021 225 8754 or for further details
