Modern Atomics has added two new power distribution units to its line and has increased its North American independent sales representative network accordingly.
The Texas tech startup launched last year with its Reaktor PDU for motorized window shades for Somfy motors. The company is now launching Neutron — an enhanced version of Reaktor compatible with more motors and control platforms such as Lutron and Crestron — and Tokamak, a dual-purpose power supply.
Neutron (MSRP starts at $1899) is an expanded version of Reaktor. It adds a faster and more powerful energy storage system that allows it to work with a wider universe of motors such as Lutron and Creston. It is also compatible with all Matter, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Sub-GHz RF wireless control platforms.
Both PDUs leverage the company’s patented AI power supply technology that eliminates up to 99.75% of idle (normally wasted) electrical current, saving hundreds of Kilowatt-hours per shade/per year. Powering is achieved via a passive DC injector or a Somfy 24V inline BUS power supply connected to the shades via Cat5 cable and RJ45. Other powering options include Modern Atomics’ Solar Panel kit or compatible Tesla Solar Roof and panels.
Tokamak (MSRP starts at $1299) is a dual-purpose power supply which as a standalone unit can power up to 10 shades. If mated with Reaktor, Neutron, or Collider power supplies in large systems (up to 192 shades) it harvests power and removes all the DC injectors from the system, which drives all the motors efficiently.
With their compact sizes, wall/rack mount capabilities and easy plug-and-play setup processes, each of the Modern Atomics PDUs reduce installation space and deployment time by over 50%.
“Powering 22 shades, Reaktor is being used in large residential projects and MDUs,” says Modern Atomics chairperson Michael Braithwaite. “With the expanded integration capabilities that Neutron and Tokamak bring, we are partnering with firms that represent shade fabrication brands like Draper at Home, Lutron, Savant, and Wolf Drapery.”
