Features

Sleek Design
An embossed magnetic overlay sits within a low-profile bezel that is only 5.5mm thick to give a sleek finish with no visible fixings. Both the bezel and the overlay are available in a variety of colours. There are two variants for compatibility with either US or UK back boxes.

Scalable
Up to 200 Remote Devices can be combined with one or more Pharos Designer Controllers on the same network to build the ideal system for your installation. Each Remote Device is easily addressed using a convenient thumb wheel. Whether one controller or many, it’s all easily programmed using our Designer 2 software. Read more

Designer Trigger

Send and receive any command, to and from any system. Conditional logic is supported, along with a powerful built-in scripting language for unlimited flexibility. Read more

Buttons
The function of each of the 8 buttons is freely programmable and the system can detect press, hold, repeat and release events.

LEDs
Each button has a white LED indicator with fully user-controllable brightness and a choice of visual effects such as fades, fast or slow flashing or ramps.

Power over Ethernet
As a PoE device, the BPS can be placed at any remote location and only needs a single Cat 5 cable that provides both power and data.

Learning IR
The BPS may be taught to recognise up to eight different IR codes from a standard infra-red remote control. When one of these keys on the remote control is pressed the BPS will treat that as a press on its own button.

From a few simple scene presses to pages of buttons, unlock sequences and more, with LED feedback to suit any requirements

Programmability
The function of each button is freely programmable.

Visual Impact
Each button has a white LED indicator with fully user-controllable brightness and a variety of flash effect options for giving visual feedback.

Remote Control
A learning infra-red sensor is included, allowing any standard remote control to be used to trigger button presses.
