Modern Atomics has debuted Reaktor, a power distribution unit (PDU) designed for motorized shades. Leveraging patent-pending technology, one Reaktor can power up to 22 shades yet eliminates up to 99.75 percent of all the quiescent current, saving up to 412 kilowatt-hours yearly. A built-in ammeter on the unit shows in real-time how much quiescent current is being saved for all shades. Included is a passive PoE injector, rack/shelf mounting provisions and a transferable 10-year warranty. The unit is powered via the provided passive POE injector or a Somfy 24V inline BUS power supply, which in turn drives each of the shades via CAT 5 cable and RJ45. Reaktor is compatible with Somfy motors, which includes Screen Innovations, Draper, BTX, Corradi, Sol-Lux, Spring Blinds, Clara, Alta, Universal Window Coverings, Peachtree, Graber and SunSetter. Reaktor works with all major control systems.
