Smart home distributor Bemco adds KNX building course

Independent electrical wholesaler Bemco has added to its range of KNX training courses, with the introduction of a new KNX Panel Building course. Bemco is a leading source of KNX components from across Europe; the KNX standard provides an interoperable platform for lighting, HVAC, security, blinds, and AV control.

The new one-day course will help integrators learn how to build a KNX board, covering the assembly of DIN rail KNX components and switches into an enclosure, wiring schematics, cabling and the creation of lighting circuits and output connections.

“The world of the professional electrician and aspiring smart home installer is changing,” says Julian Barkes, Managing Director at Bemco. “Today, there are so many different systems and technologies that can be connected into the modern smart home. Bringing it all together can be painstaking and complicated. HVAC, lighting, blinds, and security systems can now all be brought onto a single control platform, by using KNX, to create a genuinely smart home. KNX technology allows installers to create a reliable and robust system that can be quickly accessed, understood and operated by the client.”

“To properly take advantage of this market opportunity it requires wiring and board building training,” adds Barkes. “Bemco provides the training support to help installers familiarise themselves with KNX products, solutions and the know-how necessary for a successful implementation. This new KNX Panel Building course teaches a fundamental and practical set of skills to installers and is expertly delivered in-person at our London KNX Training Centre.”

KNX ‘In-Person’ sessions from Bemco include KNX Basic Partner and Advanced Partner courses, together with a KNX Refresher and specialist HVAC Training, all presented by KNX experts at the only KNX Training Centre in the UK, located in Wandsworth, London.

Priced at £35 exVAT, the KNX Panel Building course runs on April 6 2022, and places can be booked at bemco-knx.co.uk.
