Dextra Reacta Link Wireless App
Reacta Wireless combines simplicity with control
By choosing a wireless system you can reduce installation time and cost and simultaneously implement a connected lighting control system offering everything from linked sensor control through to a full lighting management solution. Reductions in energy usage, emergency testing and installation costs can be made without the expense and inconvenience of installing a wired BUS system throughout your site.
Reacta Wireless is available in a range of tiers, from a web based full lighting management and emergency testing system through to more simplistic linked sensor and wall switch operation, Reacta Wireless can offer a solution to meet your needs at all levels.
The Reacta Wireless range incorporates three separate systems.
Reacta-Link is used for internet based reporting of every aspect of your
installation across multiple sites including energy, faults and emergency
reporting amongst others. Where more basic linked sensor operation is required
Reacta-Air is used for internal IP20 applications and Reacta-Wave is used for
IP65 applications.

REACTA-LINK
Reacta-Link is a full multi site lighting management system to manage every
aspect of an installation at multiple sites globally from a single location
through any internet enabled device.
-
Luminaire: RLI Wireless Connection or RLS Wireless Connection and Integral Presence Sensor
-
Emergency: STR
-
Daylight Sensor: RLS
-
Switches: RLW
-
Reacta-Link Hub: RLI HUB
-
Group your luminaires and control devices in any configuration required, any sensor or wireless wall switch can be wirelessly linked to control any luminaire on the installation.
-
Use a single daylight enabled sensor in one luminaire to wirelessly daylight regulate all other luminaires in the same group.
-
Battery powered wireless wall switches eliminate the need to run power feeds down walls, simply mount them on the wall and group them to the required luminaires, significantly reducing installation costs.
-
Quick and simple adjustment of groups.
In the event of a change of use of an area or building layout sensors and wall switches can be regrouped without the need to adjust wiring. -
Central reporting of emergency failures allows compliance to BS 5266 without the cost of manual testing on site providing a rapid
return on investment over standard emergency installations. Please note that emergency test times can not be scheduled, and require an
RLI Hub with internet connection to enable reporting. -
Central reporting of mains luminaire failures allows prompt and effective maintenance to be undertaken.
HEAT MAPPING
Monitor your installation hour by hour, day by day, to better understand the
movements of your staff and customers allowing you to optimise store layouts
or maximise area usage increasing sales or reducing the operating costs of
buildings. Reacta-Link allows you to heatmap your installation by energy,
occupancy, and utilisation to allow monitoring of footfall, luminaire on time
and energy usage.
- Ideal for schools and universities, understand the occupancy levels of each lecture hall and classroom allowing under utilised spaces to be identified and classes moved to smaller rooms thereby reducing running costs.
- Allows facilities managers to determine how to move staff to use space to best effect and close areas of buildings with low levels of occupancy.
- Retailers can quickly and easily gain
an understanding of the movements of customers around the store identifying successful promotions and displays, identify high footfall areas for premium promotions, and locate store areas where footfall is poor and customer interest needs to be stimulated.
CENTRAL BATTERY
Reacta-Link offers wireless compatibility with locally switched central battery systems allowing you to centrally monitor the status of your emergency luminaires for driver or LED failures.
- Minimise the cost of maintaining your emergency lighting system with automated testing of emergency luminaires.
- Centralised off site storage of all emergency failure reports ensuring compliance with BS 5266.
WHITE TUNABLE
Reacta-Link is available with DT8 twin channel white tunable functionality allowing adjustment of colour temperatures through the day.
- Use the Reacta-Link web portal to set and adjust colour changes automatically over the course of a day.
- Simulate the colour temperatures of natural daylight to enhance well being for employees and customers.
- Use colour temperatures to enhance your environment, warm colour temperatures can be used to create an inviting and comforting atmosphere while cooler colour temperatures can enhance areas where a clean and sterile appearance is required.

KEY FOB
Where local control of luminaires is required the key fob provides a small and simple solution allowing luminaires to be scene controlled, ideal for classrooms and lectern applications where adjustment of lighting to new scenes is required without the presenter moving to a wall switch.
MOBILE APP
The mobile app allows any permitted user to adjust scenes within a room without the need for a wall switch or key fob.
The global map overview allows you to select any of your installations
anywhere in the world and manage your lighting remotely from any web enabled
device.
Dashboard overview provides user friendly and accessible summary of your
installation.
Remotely view settings such as time delays, fade rates and lux levels amongst
many others.
Upload drawings to provide a user friendly graphical interface to manage your
lighting and direct engineers to undertake repairs quickly and accurately,
with the correct replacement parts.
Access reports for the status of each device on site for luminaires,
emergency, sensors and switches.
Access the last emergency test undertaken to identify any failures enabling
urgent rectification.
- Energy graphs showing trends in energy usage over varying time scales and at individual drawing or site levels.
- Individual luminaire energy consumption data.
- Energy, utilisation and occupancy heat maps allow area usage to be monitored and energy saving potential to be identified.
Why Reacta-Link
-
Install a DALI system at reduced cost, there is no need to install DALI cabling, power supplies or routers and wall switches are entirely wireless.
-
The installation of a wireless network throughout your building brings the potential to integrate with other systems with appropriate connecting software.
-
Automate your emergency testing without the need to install a full wired DALI system eliminating the cost of manual testing,
Reacta-Link can be installed as an emergency only system where controls of mains luminaires is not required. -
There are no annual maintenance fees to operate the Reacta-Link system, only the initial purchase price and commissioning cost.
What do I need to consider with regards to signal strength and wireless
communication
The mesh networking system should provide reliable communication in most
instances, however it is important to consider factors such as the fabric of
the building , the luminaire design and luminaire spaces.
What is involved in commissioning and set up
Commissioning of installations is typically provided by Dextra by our team of
experienced commissioning engineers.
What happens in the event of internet failures
Should the internet connection on an installation fail the luminaires on site
will continue to operate normally and users on site should see no interruption
at all. It will not be possible however to log into the website and collect
any energy, heat mapping or emergency test data from
that installation until the internet connection is restored. The Reacta-Link
hub can be connected to the internet via a 4G dongle if needed to overcome
these issues in case of a long term disconnection.
How secure is my wireless installation
Various security measures are in place to minimise the risk of your system
being compromised, full details are available on request.
