Smart grids are a digital electricity network. The system involves the electronic digital control of production, distribution and use of electricity, information management of the components and energy saving.
Type of automatic control system where through a Building Managements System or Building Automation System (BAS) the control of a building's ventilation, humidity, heating, lighting and other systems is being automated at centralized location and monitored through electronic systems. Can be set to optimize energy consumption.
Types of cameras, such as single-lens reflex cameras and point-and-shoot cameras.
Pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. It gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device. A wiring diagram is often used to troubleshoot problems and to make sure that all the connections have been made and that everything is present.
The principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.
The functioning of electronic circuit boards, processors, chips, and computer hardware and software, including programming and applications.
Mechanical systems, including gears, engines, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Their functions and likely defects.
Sensors are transducers that can detect or sense characteristics in their environment. They detect changes in the apparatus or environment and provide a corresponding optical or electrical signal. Sensors are commonly divided in six classes: mechanical, electronic, thermal, magnetic, electrochemical, and optical sensors.
The varieties and key features of solar products such as solar panels, solar water heaters or solar-powered chargers. Moreover, the knowledge of their functionalities, components and legal requirements.
Give advice to customers on the possibilities of installation of smart home technologies, given the requisites and the preconditions of the structure.
Understand designs and specifications provided by producers of domotics integrated systems and choose a concept that fulfils specific needs within the project.
Set up, connect and test lighting equipment in a live performance environment.
Install connected devices, such as thermostats, indoor environmental quality sensors, movement detection sensors, electronic thermostatic radiator valves, light bulbs, light switches, relay switches for building services auxiliary, plugs, energy meters, window and door contact sensors, flooding sensors, EC motors for solar shading and automatic doors, smoke and CO sensors, cameras, door locks, doorbells and lifestyle devices. Connect these devices to domotics system and to the relevant sensors.
Apply the relevant health and safety procedures in construction in order to prevent accidents, pollution and other risks.
Check electrical supplies for damage, moisture, loss or other problems.
Prepare wires for installation in a switch. Wire the switch. Install it securely in the right location.
Install equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work, or equipment to generate, transfer or measure such currents and fields. This equipment includes switchboards, electric motors, generators or direct current systems.
Connect electrical equipment, such as dishwashers, ovens and refrigerators, to the electricity network and perform electrical bonding to avoid dangerous potential differences. Test the installation for proper functioning.
Keep the highest possible customer service and make sure that the customer service is at all times performed in a professional way. Help customers or participants feel at ease and support special requirements.
Spot and monitor individuals or groups of people at the door who intend to enter the premises unlawfully or have potential for causing threats.
Read and comprehend standard blueprints, machine, and process drawings.
Locking devices that use electric current to operate. Electronic locks use motors, solenoids, or magnets to actuate the lock. Often, electronic locks have an access control system and require authentication, such as passwords, fingerprints or chip cards.
Types of artificial lighting and their power consumption. HF fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, natural daylight and programmed control systems allow an efficient use of energy.
