Measuring 3.4 in. × 2.8 in. ×2.6 in. and weighing 46 oz, the device features a DIN format for mounting in control cabinets. In addition, the unit's non-volatile memory stores operating status for seamless recovery after a power outage.

Lighting controller

The Miro Key Fob scene controller gives residents remote, one-touch lighting control when entering or exiting their homes. The compact, battery-operated device can be attached to a key ring or mounted on a car visor, and can activate three different lighting scenes from a range of 100 ft. In addition, the controller can be added to a Miro system using either factory default scene settings or personalized button operation. Multiple units can be set up to recall different lighting scenes. For security, it can activate a panic feature that flashes selected lights.

Commercial dimmers

Titan commercial dimmers include all the parts needed to build a screwless multi-gang faceplate in the field. These incandescent dimmers offer a high-end voltage adjustment feature that allows a building manager to reduce the “at full” voltage without compromising the slider's full dimming range. In addition, the devices offer an easy-to-use labeling system with each cover plate. Other features include surge and static protection, power failure memory, slide to “off” and preset models, an air gap switch, enhanced heat management, an enclosed slider, and a matte finish. Available in 700W and 1,100W incandescent and magnetic low-voltage versions, they work with standard single-pole and 3-way wiring and switches. Colors include white, light almond, ivory, black, brown, and gray.
