q  Direct technology reduces the cost of system up to 20 times

q  Addressable micromodules facilitate installation and maintenance of engineering equipment

q  More than 50 functions on the same board (changing firmware)

q  You can change A1 controller function at any time with 3 clicks

q  Change takes just few minutes.

Many solutions, A1 is the only right one


Let's calculate…

If you buy A1 controller today: Without the firmware it cost $139. For example, after 90 days, you can buy:

q  "Door" firmware - at a price $162 (saving is $44) q  ”Alarm" firmware - at a price $285 (saving is $77) q  ”Lift" firmware - at a price $1,051 (saving is $284)

Unique Selling Proposal

If you store A1 controller-transformer you get passive income in the amount of from 30 to 200% of the cost of the firmware.


Advance Purchase A1 - a profitable business! As you can see, Advance Purchase of A1 controller has extra value:

q  The cost of the new firmware for the controller, acquired earlier, is down by 0.3% per day q  Maximum discount for the firmware is 60% (available after 200 days)

"We never bought equipment to stock," - you might say

So start doing it right now!


Enhanced usability and value of A1 controller Easy to connect and configure q  connection of peripheral equipment goes directly to controller terminals or through Lmicro bus cable q  Octagram Flex Software allows to customize standard system functions as well as non-standard events Little space needed; no special training q  controller is mounted on DIN-rail mounting and is set up in a standard electric cabinet q  Lmicro bus cable can be laid at you residence place under a baseboard or a platband Easy change of functionality q  new firmware downloads at www.octagram.ru q  firmware change without system shutdown Upgrades q  Ethernet-module connection q  GPRS/GSM-module connection q  Increased number of digital inputs and outputs.
