A stunningly elegant wall station with a seamless, uninterrupted glass front plate, providing a beautiful interface if your project requires user interaction. The 8” touchscreen receives automatically generated pages via Expert Control, based on programming in Expert software. Easily control your lighting by activating scenes and adjusting intensity for each Space. With single cable installation, the Pharos Expert Touch 8 is a Power-over-Ethernet device. Included is a Universal Mounting Plate which is compatible with world-wide back boxes and boasts a secure and ingenious fitting mechanism.

Features:

  • Touch Interface – Touch 8 features a vivid 8” 1024×768 display with a responsive capacitive touchscreen. Easily navigate controls, activate presets, override intensity, and use the color picker for personalized lighting. Control is at your fingertips.
  • Controller – The Touch 8 requires a Pharos Expert Control, and links to it using standard protocols over an Ethernet network.
  • Straightforward Installation – The innovative Universal Mounting Plate fits UK, US, and EU backboxes. Touch 8 attaches with a discreet bayonet twist, ensuring secure, tool-free installation while keeping the MicroSD card inaccessible.
  • Power-over-Ethernet – As a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device, the Touch 8 can be placed at any remote location and only needs a single Ethernet cable that provides both power
    and data. Expert Switch provides a coordinating PoE switch from Pharos, which can support up to four Touch devices.
  • Wherever They’re Needed – Expert Control can support up to 32 Expert Touch devices. Pages are generated relating to the Space you assign to your Touch 8 – giving you control over
    just one room, or the whole project.
  • Expert Software – Let Expert Software guide you through setting up and creating your lighting design, with helpers and clear, easy to follow processes. Add Stations to Spaces and choose a theme to suit the location, then let Expert do the rest – generating the pages and controls you want – with preset buttons, color pickers and intensity sliders.
