More flexibility. Lower cost. Higher quality.

MDAR is the UK importer for Velbus, supporting a network of distributors and installers around the country.

Easy to install

Like all centrally wired system, the control points exist on a common cable.
Fixtures and features wire back to a central location housing the relays and dimmers

Easy to connect

A single four wire data cable connects all Velbus control hardware around the property.
Velbus control happens in central locations or at nodes

Easy to use

The Velbus panel’s intuitive and modern designs makes them very easy to use.
A single button panel or the multifunction panels

Autonomy

Velbus is a modular system, meaning if one module’s logic should ever fail, it will never paralyse the entire installation

Each module is fully independent as it features its own processor. Every Velbus module monitors the bus continuously and responds whenever necessary. The bus is based on the CAN type which is used in the automotive sector. This type of bus is very stable and by decreasing the data speed on the bus cable to 16.6Kbps, data can be transferred over very long distances

Freedom

You can add configuration modules anywhere on the bus cable (storeroom, study) and connect your PC to change the configuration.

No one will notice any of this, as the Velbus system will continue working while changes are being made.

The bus cable can be wired in a variety of combinations:
Loop / Ring, Tree, Radial or Star.

Bus voltage between 12V and 18V is allowed.

10 year warranty

In addition to our 2 year factory warranty, Velbus offers an extension of 8 years after you have registered.

This is how confident we are that not only is this product the best on the market in terms of functionality, it’s also completely reliable.
