FOR EVERYONE 11
So close and yet so far!
The latest version of our LÜTZE Report focuses on automation solutions
in infrastructure and mobility projects. We look at this field from as ma-
ny perspectives as possible to demonstrate the variety and flexibility of
our daily work.
Look forward to an exciting mix of information about remote heat, long-
distance traffic, long-distance travel and, certainly a highlight, a logistics
thriller that you don't encounter every day!
I hope you enjoy reading this edition.
Best wishes, IMPRINT

LOCC-Box: Your first choice
for low currents
Mathieu Le Cocguen - LÜTZE FRANCE
For more than 15 years the French com-
pany TIGR has been planning and ma-
nufacturing intelligent solutions for hea-
ting and cooling buildings. Individually
configurable district heat stations, mag-
netic dirt-resistant filters, pressure-
maintaining stations and a number of ot-
her systems are used to thermally equip
district heat and district cooling net-
works.
Full control of systems, which requires re-
cognised expertise in this area, has allowed
TIGR to realise projects in sensitive places
in Paris: airports, the site of the French Na-
tional Assembly, and also museums such as
the Louvre.
The LOCC-Box systems are installed in ter-
minal boxes that control and monitor the
district heat stations. The largest grids can
comprise dozens of district heat stations and

The new LOCC-Box system for low cur-

The existing loads are a PLC, a display unit,
two E-/S blocks with currents of between
0.4 and 0.8 A. With finer settings the new
product gives much better protection than
the existing LOCC-Box 716401 (even with
long cable runs).
The LOCC-Box modules can be quickly
and easily installed thanks to its jumper
comb system, particularly when the total
load current is less than 3 A.
