Answers to your questions

Having now read about the comfort and convenience that Clipsal Minder can provide, here are a few of the commonly asked questions about the system.

How does the system work?

The Clipsal Minder system works in conjunction with Clipsal C-Bus, an energy management system that Clipsal pioneered.

The system consists of a controller which is used to program how and when everything operates. To make a simple analogy, you could think of the Clipsal Minder system as the brain and C-Bus as the nerve system that carries the messages.

C-Bus is the smart wiring system linking devices such as switches, infrascans (motion detectors), dimmers and temperature sensors to the Controller via inexpensive telephone wire.

In this way the system can best manage energy usage as well as providing the convenience of control from any point.

An added benefit is that C-Bus replaces the need for conventional wiring of the switching of light circuits, a further cost saving.

Can the system be integrated with other equipment?

Yes, both the Clipsal Minder system and C-Bus are able to integrate with proprietary systems such as AMX, which will provide a sophisticated graphical interface for home automation.

Will a Clipsal Minder system match the decor of my home?

The control keys consist of attractive and decorative key switches, which are based on Clipsal 2000 and C2000 Series products. Therefore, key switches can be matched to power points and other electrical accessories.

The key switches are offered in a wide range of colours such as White Electric, Cream, Soft Grey and Desert Sand.

Alternatively, key inputs are offered in architectural finishes such as stainless steel and brass.

Choose from attractive finishes such as our popular 2000 and C2000 Series, architectural stainless steel or brass finishes, which complement any decor.

I can't even operate my video, so what chance do I have with the Clipsal Minder System?
