Nextek Fanworks
Nextek’s Vari-Cyclone and Vari-Fan DC Powered Ceiling Fans are the perfect choices
for a variety of indoor/outdoor applications, including workplaces, warehouses,
businesses and many rooms in the home.
The Vari-Cyclone is the only DC fan to use “Gossamer Wind Technology,” which allows
the fan to produce up to 40% more air flow with no increase in power consumption,
making the Vari-Cyclone the most energy efficient DC powered ceiling fan available.
Nextek’s decorative Vari-Fan features a light faux wood finish on one side and a dark
faux wood finish on the other.

Nextek Microgrid Systems Design
The Nextek Power Server Module
Nextek offers a variety of online interactive guides and other information that allow you to conceptualize and
plan the integration of DC systems into your offices and buildings. These valuable tools let you see the
flexibility of a DC design, as well as provide a detailed list of the steps involved and accurate cost estimates.
Design Guides and peripheral materials can be found at www.nextekpower.com/support/design-professionals.
Nextek’s Power Server Module is the centerpiece of the DC Microgrid system.
The PSM accepts inputs from the AC grid, renewable power sources, and
battery systems.
That power is then output through 16 Class 2 channels to provide efficient, safe,
low-cost DC power to lighting, A/V systems, IT/wireless, security systems,
room controls and many other devices. The PSM also connects to the AC grid,
switching over seamlessly when renewable power sources are down, ensuring
the sun never goes down on your power supply.

Nextek and Johnson Controls
DC Microgrid Integration Services
Nextek Power Systems, Inc. and Johnson Controls, Inc., two industry leaders, are now
working together to offer a matrix of design and construction services that shepherd
DC Microgrid projects from concept to commissioning.
These systems provide a reliable power supply, safe to the touch environments,
decreased energy consumption, decreased heat generation, and easy reconfiguration.
Four levels of project participation are available: a Concept Only advisory role, a
Full Design Only role, a Design and Construction Assistance role, and a full,
Turnkey Design/Build management capacity.
The unit mounts easily in any ceiling grid or a variety of other locations, and
operates virtually invisibly to keep your systems running at their maximum
efficiency.

Nextek Maximum Power Point Tracking Controller
Photovoltaic arrays produce renewable power that can vary greatly throughout the
day due to changing weather conditions. Nextek’s Maximum Power Point Tracking
Controller regulates this power, as well as that produced by most DC current
generators. The MPPT constantly monitors input power from the DC source, and
determines the maximum wattage (the point at which both operating voltage and
current can be maximized) to deliver to the load.
This critical piece of a DC system works in concert with the Nextek Power Server
Module to deliver DC directly from renewable energy sources to DC electrical
loads.

PS Manager
PS Manager is Nextek’s for programming and wirelessly controlling a Power Server Module. It is
included with all PSMs. Its functions include:
• View system voltage, power draw, load currents and more;
• View renewable energy inputs such as solar, small wind or battery power;
• Control load circuits, turn any or all channels on and off, create schedules for preset lighting
times;
• View logs detailing energy usage as well as startup and fault behavior.

Nextek DC Ballasts
Nextek Ballasts are low-voltage, 0-10 Volts DC dimming fluorescent ballasts that feature a
programmed rapid start design and ultra quiet operation.
The programmed rapid start design increases the life expectancy of your lamps and lets you
turn them on to any dimmed level without flashing to full brightness. State-of-the-art phase
control operation provides continuous, flicker-free dimming from 100% to 10%.
Nextek Ballasts run on efficient, safer and more cost-effective DC. They have Inherent Thermal
Protection, and can be installed using Class 2 wiring methods, which do not require grounding,
conduit or junction boxes. They also eliminate the rectifiers found in AC ballasts, resulting in
less heat and power loss, and greater efficiency.
Ballasts are available in one and two-lamp varieties for T5,T8, CFL, BIAX and Emergency
Ballast configurations.

Nextek Ballast Conversion Kit
Nextek’s Ballast Conversion Kit makes it easy to switch your existing
luminaires from AC to more efficient and cost-effective DC power.
Previously UL listed luminaires can be converted from UL 1598 to
the UL 2108 standard in just a few minutes.
Conversion packages are perfect for both building retrofit projects
and OEM DC luminaire conversions. They are compatible with
EMerge Alliance® standards.
