Hager Industrial Automation
In professional installations – whether it’s commercial buildings, industrial facilities or advanced residential projects – the layer of automation and control makes the difference between a static electrical system and one that provides intelligence, flexibility and manageable energy usage. The Hager automatics and control category covers automation devices, control systems, lighting control modules, time switches, automatic switch units and the necessary accessories for integration and service. Drawing on years of field experience, I can say: specifying the right control architecture upfront reduces rewiring, improves serviceability, and aligns commissioning with your timeline.
Hager Automation Devices – Actuators, Sensors & Interface Modules
When you’re looking at the components that actually carry out logic – switching, sensing, actuation – you’ll need Hager automation devices. These include switching/relay actuators, dimming modules, KNX input modules, presence/motion detectors and more. Hager’s “Building automation” webpage emphasises wired or wireless solutions adaptable to lighting, blinds and HVAC.
From hands‑on work: you’ll check device channel count (e.g., 8 outputs, 12 channels), current rating, compatibility with your bus or wiring system, mounting on DIN‑rail or busbar, future spares. Choosing Hager means you’re aligning with a system‑aware manufacture that supports modular expansion and service‑oriented design.
Hager Control Systems – Building Logic, Visualisation & Networked Control
For higher‑level oversight beyond individual devices, you’ll specify Hager control systems – the hardware/software layer that ties devices together: controllers, gateways (e.g., KNX Secure), visualisation front‑ends, bus infrastructure. Hager’s site states: “Whether wired or wireless, each solution adapts seamlessly thanks to KNX easy and KNX ETS programming tools.”
On the procurement side: you’ll check system protocol (KNX vs proprietary), number of I/O, network security (KNX Secure), integration with BMS or EMS, software licence terms, remote access capability. Specifying the control system early ensures your wiring, commissioning workflow and service contract align.
Hager Time Switches & Automatic Switch Units – Scheduled Control & Energy‑Management
For timed or automated switching functions – corridor lighting, stair‑lift control, HVAC pre‑heat, facility services – your project will incorporate Hager time switches, automatic switch units and related scheduled‑control devices. On Hager’s broader solutions page, time‑based switching and automation features are indicated under “automatic control and remote‑operation”.
From field practice: you’ll define things like daily/weekly/yearly schedule capability, override inputs, battery backup, switch‑capability (contact rating), device size (DIN modules), and whether it integrates with your automation bus. Using Hager time switches in the control scheme adds consistency and predictability.
Hager Lighting Control – Smart Lighting, Dimming, Presence Integration
Lighting makes up a major portion of a building’s energy consumption and control strategy, so the category of Hager lighting control is particularly relevant: modules and systems that manage dimming, presence/detection, daylight‑harvesting, and scene control. Hager’s building‑automation site mentions “movement detection, automatic switch‑off and automatic control … for their lighting, shutters and blinds.”
In practical installation: you’ll examine compatibility with load type (LED vs legacy lamps), control protocol (DALI, 0‑10 V, switch‑dimming), sensor integration (motion, daylight), output channels, mounting footprint and service access. Integrating lighting control from the same brand (Hager) across your system helps reduce mismatches and simplifies spare‑module logic.
Hager Automation Accessories – Mounting, Wiring, Interface & Spare Parts
A complete automation system doesn’t just consist of modules and control panels – you also need Hager automation accessories: mounting, interface plates, bus connectors, wiring harnesses, firmware upgrade kits, sensors/spare modules. The building‑automation catalogue emphasises ease‑of‑installation and system modularity.
From sourcing viewpoint: you’ll ensure your BOM covers accessories such as bus terminators, power supplies, DIN‑rail kits, housing units, spare sensor modules. Specifying accessories under Hager means you’ll keep your system coherent and easier to maintain.
Procurement Insights for Wholesale Buyers & Specifiers
When procuring Hager automatics and control equipment for projects (commercial blocks, institutional buildings, high‑spec residential) your decision‑criteria typically include:
- Protocol & System Compatibility: KNX/xEIB, wireless/gateway, bus vs field wiring
- Device Channel/Output Count: actuators, switching modules, dimmers etc
- Load & Control Type Compatibility: lighting, blinds, HVAC, heating control
- User Interface & Visualisation: panels, touch screens, remote‑access capability
- Spares & Upgrade Path: ensure consistent framework so spares are available and service personnel can support future changes
- Installation & Wiring Logistics: DIN‑rail space, bus power supply, modular kits, compatibility with planned wiring infrastructure
- Stock & Lead‑time: automation modules may have longer lead‑times – delayed module means the entire control system commissioning stalls
- Brand Uniformity: Using Hager throughout control devices, automation modules, wiring accessories simplifies spares logic, training and documentation
From my field work: in one large retrofit the automation actuators arrived but the bus power‑supply module was missing, delaying commissioning by 3 days. Specifying the full Hager kit early prevented that kind of bottleneck.
