Common BMS Question/Answers:

Can we use a remote control unit as well as the BMS?

Yes. We use a different motor that can accept the commands from a remote control as well as the commands from the BMS. We may need a specialised transmitter between the motors and the BMS relays. Contact Modular

We need to manage the shading for a building with different requirements for each elevation that may or may not include sun tracking?

Please refer to the Dynamic Façade Management System section

I want to allow for BMS in the future what do I tell the electrician?

Every BMS brand is different and may require different types of motors and therefore power requirements will vary from system to system. Contact Modular

Can we integrate sun, wind and rain sensors into the BMS?

Yes, these elements can be hardwired or radio controlled and we may a specialised transmitter between the motors and the BMS. Contact Modular

This is an important question and requires some consultation to ensure cables are correctly placed. Planning this in advance will ensure your project runs smoothly without retro modifications. Contact Modular.
