Previously, we were referring our Dealers to available products on the market, and along the way, it became clear that there was a need for, and an opportunity for us to produce, a more reliable product. Our new lineup provides dealers with a superior product at a price point that fits well within their clientís needs and budgets.î Paul Starkey, ELANís Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, added, ìWe recently introduced our new multi-room controllers, the System6 and System12, both of which include sense inputs on board. We designed these new sensors to plug-and-play with our latest generation of controllers in order to serve all types of installations from the most basic up to the best and beyond.î Individually priced at $40.00 (MSRP) per unit, each Sensor possesses its own unique functionality. The Voltage Sensor detects any AC/DC voltage between 3V and 24V. The LED/Light Sensor detects light including day light, room lights, LEDs, and various displays.
