With the Cloud Manager application we can configure our GSM, IP and WIFI / Bluetooth control devices, create custom control icons on the screen of our phone or within the application, which we can operate via WIFI, Bluetooth and mobile internet. The icons can be completely tailored to our taste, as we can customize the names, icons and colors of the buttons. The Bluetooth control icon also shows the MAC number of the device for easier identification. Both the connection between your phone and the device, and creating icons are very easy, as we get a short description of each process, which guides us step by step through the necessary settings. The set up process is aided by pre-set parameters - in the form of a choice - from which makes the whole setting up easier. When you open the application, all control buttons are visible for the previously registered modules. The icon next to the available devices with an active connection (SIM / Cloud / BT) will turn green once the connection is established. You can choose between light and dark patterns for the usual phone settings. After the registration, our GSM, IP or Bluetooth module can also be accessed and controlled via the website www.ascloudmanager.com. In addition to the settings, you can also access statistics and manage users.

The Ultimate Digital Toolset for BS 7671 Electrical Professionals The BS7671 Field Toolkit is the definitive companion for electrical engineers, electricians, and contractors working with the UK's IET Wiring Regulations. Designed to streamline your workflow from the site to the office, this application combines high-performance calculation engines with an intuitive interface to ensure your installations are safe, compliant, and efficient. Why Choose BS7671 Field Toolkit? Electricity is precise—your tools should be too. Gone are the days of carrying heavy reference books or relying on guesswork. Our toolkit brings the complexity of BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 into your pocket, providing instant answers to complex design and testing questions. KEY FEATURES: 1. Smart Circuit Design Engine Input your load requirements, and let the app handle the math. Calculate voltage drop, earth fault loop impedance (Zs), and thermal constraints with ease. Our engine cross-references current carrying capacities (Table 4D5, etc.) to recommend the optimal cable and protective device for any installation method. 2. Intelligent Cable Finder Instantly identify the correct cable type and size for your specific installation conditions. Whether you are dealing with multi-core SWA, 6242Y, or XLPE, the app adjusts for ambient temperature, grouping factors, and thermal insulation to ensure you never undersize a cable again. 3. BS 7671 Compliance Validator Check your test results against the official regulatory limits. Verify that your measured Zs values meet the maximum permitted values for various circuit breakers (Type B, C, and D) and fuses. The app provides clear "Pass" or "Fail" indicators, helping you identify potential issues before you leave the site. 4. Site History & Document Management Keep your projects organized. Save circuit designs, test results, and site notes directly within the app. Each record is timestamped and categorized, making it easy to retrieve data for certifications or client reporting at a later date. 5. Real-Time Regulatory Updates The electrical industry never stands still. Our toolkit features a "Regulatory Update" system that alerts you to the latest amendments and technical bulletins from the IET and industry bodies, ensuring your work always reflects the "state of the art." 6. Professional Utility Suite Includes specialized calculators for: Total Earth Loop Impedance (Zs = Ze + R1 + R2) Resistance of conductors at varying temperatures (20°C vs 70°C) Earthing and Bonding sizing (Table 54.7 and 54.8) Unit conversions and electrical formulas (Ohms Law, Power Triangle) Built for the Field This app was designed from the ground up to work even in the most demanding environments. With high-contrast "Dark Mode" for low-visibility areas and oversized touch targets for easy use, the BS7671 Field Toolkit is as rugged as your physical tools. Who is this for? Qualified Electricians (Domestic, Commercial, Industrial) Electrical Design Engineers Testing & Inspection Specialists (EICR) Electrical Apprentices and Students Contract Managers and Site Supervisors Compliance Disclaimer While the BS7671 Field Toolkit is built to reflect the current IET Wiring Regulations, it is intended to supplement the professional judgment of a qualified electrician. Always refer to the official BS 7671 documentation for final certification. Streamline your testing. Master your design.
