HORTICULTURE PLUG + PLAY TECHNOLOGY
for greenhouses and vertical farms
REQUIREMENTS
The environment of a horticulture installation creates specific requirements for the installed luminaires (e.g. HPS or LED). All farms, whether it is green house or vertical farm, have the three following criteria in common:
- High IP rating
- No opening of LED luminaires or HPS luminaires on site
- Removing luminaires for cleaning
SOLUTIONS
A completely pluggable system with IP66, IP68 or IP69 is the answer to the requirements. Whether it is energy distribution in the field or a simple interface to appliances, RST® is an easy plug + play solution.
- Connectors for the interface
- Distribution blocks for power distribution
- Pre-assembled cables for routing or supply of electrical power
BENEFITS
How do you benefit from this pluggable solution? Reducing installation and maintenance time and staying flexible are the key points. Along with some more:
- Touch-safe
- Fast and easy installation
- Easy expansion or modification
- Plug and grow, unplug and clean
- Maintenance takes up less time

COMPARING INSTALLATION STEPS
The following graph shows all steps when distributing power in the field and installing a luminaire in a horticultural farm. The left illustrates a conventional installation while the right side shows all steps with a pluggable solution. As a result, time and costs are reduced with a plug + play system like RST®.
WE HAVE PROOF
See for yourself how much faster a pluggable installation actually is compared to the traditional wiring system. In this case, we are showing the installation for an IP-rated power distribution for environments with IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69.

Fast. Flexible. Safe. That is our RST® system.
THE RST® SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Below is an example system with all components that we offer to ensure the fastest installation possible. Pre-assembled cables and pluggable distribution components guarantee a quick and safe installation for HPS and LED luminaires. Say "Goodbye" to stripping, dismantling and wiring and say "Hello" to RST® - the best solution for an IP-rated installation. All components are rated IP66, IP67 or IP68; many RST® connectors even qualify for an IP69 environment.
Cable connection can be created and installed on site - easy quick and safe.
Manufacturers integrate these connectors to make their luminaires pluggable.
Choose between a compact distribution block and a distribution box for a wider and more flexible distribution.
Select factory-assembled cables with connectors to plug the installation together on site - no cable preparation necessary.
