Further investment by Glasgow Rangers FC includes a players' hydrotherapy pool and a leisure suite, all controlled from tailor-made control panels.
Investing in players is a key ingredient for a football club's success.
Ranger's FC has built a new GBP 13 million complex at Murray Park, Glasgow, which includes a players' hydrotherapy pool and a leisure suite containing a spa, sauna and steam room.
With the help of tailor-made control panels, from leading switchgear supplier, Moeller, specialist contractor Eagle Leisure installed these facilities in record time.
Les Wade, Eagle Leisure's Technical Sales Director said: "We provided Moeller with a detailed specification of our requirements.
Moeller, using its KeyBuild facility, a dedicated build-to-order service, produced a main control panel for the hydro-therapy pool, sauna and steam room, together with a control panel for the spa with a remote switching capability".
Perhaps the most interesting feature is the hydrotherapy pool, which has a moving floor system allowing a depth from 1.8 to 0m to be selected.
For this, the main control panel needs to service a large number of requirements, covering control of not only the floor, but: circulation pumps, chemical systems, ozone hygiene control, heating pumps, underwater lamps and a fluvo-message system together with a counter current swimming machine.
To control the spa the control panel incorporates: a main circulation pump, booster pump, air blower, heater, chemical system and underwater lights.
An infra red control facility allows the spa's air blower to be turned on and off remotely.
KeyBuild is a custom service based on Moeller's industry leading range of switches, relays, circuit breakers and related products.
The control panels built for the project used the company's RMQ Titan switches, PKZM0 motor protective circuit breakers, DILER contactors, residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) and enclosures.
The main control panel has a steel, IP65 rated enclosure with full RCCB and earth leakage protection.
RMQ Titan pushbutton selector switches complete with an LED status indicator activates each system.
Circuit breaker tripping is indicated by an LED.
Wade said: "As well as looking good, the RMQ Titan switches use LED's rather than filament bulbs, so lasting longer, reducing current consumption and heat dissipation".
The spa control panel has a thermo plastic enclosure rated at IP66 with a three-way RMQ Titan switch, push button starts and indicator lights for system running and not running.
The air blower for the spa is linked to a Moeller standard ETR4 timer, programmed for 10 minutes run time.
Using this simple to set microprocessor technology, any time can be set to an accuracy of a hundreth of a second.
Wade added: "RMQ Titan's high protection rating and extended operating temperature range make it ideal for the damp environment of the spa".
From Eagle Leisure's technical specification sheets Moeller's local engineering team provided an end to end solution within six weeks.
Backed by local Moeller distributors, Moeller's KeyBuild provides an ideal flexible solution to customer needs.
