VANTAGE EUROPE & MIDDLE EAST BINNENDIJK BEVEREN - BELGIUM TEL Fax A CLOSER LOOK AT A PROJECT Where it is pleasant and safe to live. du "Jardins du Prince d Orange" The "Jardins du Prince d Orange" domain in one of the most prestigious quarter in Ukkel witnesses to a new housing concept following the American "condominium" concept. A group of five contemporary, character villas were built on a common area. Pure class, to which Vantage naturally makes its contribution. You may love a green environment, without wanting to be responsible for its maintenance yourself. And increasingly there is a problem of burglary or homejacking for those EUROPE & MIDDLE EAST who live slightly more quietly or isolated. The promoter Hervé Jacobs took these findings as the basis for the "Jardins du Prince d Orange" project. Although the domain remains communal each house has a small garden for which one company is responsible for maintenance. The result forms a harmonious whole. Within this whole the houses are directed in such a way that they guarantee maximum privacy. In addition living here is safe for residents thanks to a state-of-the-art security system. The crème de la crème with regard to safety and comfort The five villas are equipped with the latest innovations in the field of auto België - Belgique P.B KIELDRECHT 3/3149 Motion sensors ensure that lights automatically switch on if someone is coming. will be continued on page 4

2 [2] [product info] New buttons The buttons on the keypad were renewed a while ago. They do look the same. The advantage is that they can easily be removed from the keypads. Consequently they can easily be changed. Which, among other things, is an advantage when inscribing the square buttons. 1 button must also be removed in order to connect the Q-rs232 cable (see below). The design for the keypads has been changed, a plug is provided in them to allow direct programming without having to dismantle the keypad (under key 5). Consequently you will see the result of your programming directly in your environment. What you need: A Q-RS232 station A Q-RS232 cable to connect the keypad to a Q-RS232 station LCD160MT The touch-screen is also available in a traditional design.

New user-friendly programming software It should be clarified that the Vantage system is not a computer based system. But the system is programmed with the help of Qlink software written in a computer and windows environment. The unique characteristic of Vantage software is that it upgrades the software and hardware system. In other words your system will remain up-to-date. This new software offers numerous new possibilities: Operating and programming light sensors. Copy and paste function. In this way the same thing does not have to be programmed over and over again. Overview per room or area Further extensions, adaptations for various audio/video components, for programming the modem This is only part of the improvements The software can be downloaded from our website: Message for the architect!

4 [4] continuation of page 1 Jardins du Prince d Orange mation and security. They each have their own system which is linked to lighting, heating, audio/video and security. Which is naturally right up Vantage s street. Why was Vantage chosen? Hervé Jacobs is happy to explain: "As project promoter I did not know who would buy these villas at the beginning. This made the choice of the system very difficult. Because I couldn t tell at all how the future residents would live. That is one of the reasons why we chose Vantage. The great benefit to Vantage is that the system can be installed and the programming can be carried out later and can be completely tailor-made to the client and made to operate in accordance with his/her lifestyle." And he continues enthusiastically: "In addition the Vantage Q-Series operating system is equipped with very advanced technology, so that it can cope with the most sophisticated projects. That was exactly what we needed." But let s take a little look opened or closed from a distance. As soon as access is given to the domain, a clear pleasant light welcomes residents or guests to a particular villa. It lights the drive to the residence concerned. Before even setting foot in the villa, we notice how everything here is aimed at comfort. The stairs to the entrance will be lit before the front door is opened. From the moment that the door opens, motion sensors ensure that you are not left in the dark anywhere inside. Are the owners receiving guests? Lighting, heating and music are tuned in to each other in the correct way, according to the residents wishes. They When the residents leave the villa, they need only enter a code for all the lights to fade gradually, the music to stop and the alarm to arm. The domain is completely enclosed, the private-entrance is guarded by a video security camera and access code. In addition each residence has windows with anti-burglary glass and also with a double alarm system. Vantage has everything under control. If someone rings the bell, the system switches on the tv s and ensures that the camera signal is sent to all tv s. If you are welcome, the door or gate is opened by remote control or by telephone. The garage doors can also be Your dear son wants to listen to his favourite radio station in the bath, in the living room the guests are enjoying Vivaldi, the news is on in the kitchen. can control the lighting, music and curtains from certain areas by means of a

5 [5] keypad or the remote control. Let us go upstairs. Here we find the same structure. Motion sensors ensure that lights automatically switch on if someone is coming, LED s always show the correct button on the keypads, curtains and music can easily be operated. And as we are talking about music, Your dear son wants to listen to his favourite radio station in the bath, in the living room the guests are enjoying Vivaldi, the news is on in the kitchen. All this is possible. Vantage controls a high-end audio-distribution system that makes any combination possible. Naturally the alarm installation is also integrated. When the residents leave the villa, they need only enter a code for all the lights to fade gradually, the music to stop and the alarm to arm. In addition integrated timers ensure that the curtains close in the evening. Did you know? That Vantage also has a range of products on offer in building management. In this way we have a light sensor available in our range. Depending on the light density within an area the light in this area is automatically adapted. Different light groups may be introduced with a relative different in dimming level. Practically this means that the light which lights a workplace on the window side will have a different level of lighting to a light which lights a workplace which is not by a window. However when it gets dark outside both dimming levels will become identical. This is carried out by the renowned VANTAGE software which is known for its condition applications. In combination with the 0-14V ballast Interface, also in the Vantage range, tungsten lighting can be dimmed. This is a great advantage in building management. The same timers also have many more skills, you can set all kinds of actions for them. In this way the Vantage system can wake the residents in the morning, immediately open the curtains, start their favourite CD and make coffee. Talk about comfort! FAQ! Light sensor to be installed in the ceiling. Did you know? That from now on you will be able to programme via the keypads. What advantage would I gain from a Vantage home automation system? The Vantage system integrates ordinary and daily actions and routines into its programming in order to make life easier. Pressing 1 button replaces numerous actions and makes your life easier in this way. The Vantage system can also learn your routines and anticipate daily tasks thanks to its builtin memories and times actions. Vantage prepares your house for the future by offering simple upgrades and integration into most other systems.
