Small Building Systems
What is a Small Building System?
Traditionally, due to cost, automation systems have been used in larger buildings. Small buildings, such as small shops, Telecoms cabins, and houses, have had to go without systems and their benefits.
The introduction of ZIP changes all that. Cost-efficient control of HVAC, lighting, access and security using a single small building system, coupled with Commander's web server, coupled with WiFi technology allows users to manage the system using an existing PC, Laptop, even an iPhone or PDA! This increases the ease of use and reduces cost all at once.
The portability of the Obsys 2.0 control platform means that end users could choose to run the entire system on existing PC or server hardware, reducing costs even further. By carefully matching low cost control with fixed function IO devices from the ZiP range, a reliable and cost effective energy and comfort management system can be built
Fixed function Zip modules
Using our fixed function Zip modules increases reliability and reduces costs. We have modules that will control a domestic boiler over 2 zones, provide Security on 4 monitored PIR inputs - with an output for a sounder, a door access controller with Wiegand inputs and life safety protection and many others, can all be combined on a single network to offer a fully integrated control system that is scalable right down to the smallest of buildings without becoming cost prohibitive.

Case Study
KPNQwest, Europe
Over 350 sites are monitored from KPN’s European head- quarters in the Hague via Commanders over IP
or Modem Compass Points.
Engineers can confirm alarm statuses and schedule engineer site visits more effectively and
reduce engineering overhead dramatically through increased site visibility.
