No end of life disposal issues with battery or lamp technology
Lifetime cost of ownership is minimised through a modular design that
allows first fix / second fix installation, the long life solid state
light source, reduced energy consumption and embedded intelligence
ensures compliance with legislative requirements without manual testing
and there are no end of life disposal issues. Every part of the system:
the solid-state light source, the battery, battery charger, internal
temperature and mains supply is continuously monitored to ensure fitness
for purpose throughout the lifetime of the unit.
BS 5266-8:2004 requires a regime of daily and/or monthly and annual
testing of every single emergency lighting luminaire in the system, with
accurate records being kept of each inspection and test. Maintained
luminaires and exit signs must be checked every day, and both maintained
and non-maintained operated for a period every month and, depending upon
the designed standby period, run for one or three hours every year. To
carry out this procedure manually, whether using in-house or contract
labour is obviously labour intensive and expensive, potentially
disruptive to the normal routine of the premises and difficult to manage
effectively. All products in the Xscape series feature embedded
intelligence that automatically carries out the routine tests specified
by BS 5266 part 8; the stored data can be retrieved using a walk-by
hand-held programmer and subsequently downloaded to a PC for long-term
storage.
The Xscape Series
A complete suite of products, which can be installed as stand-alone
devices or networked systems, enable all areas within the premises to be
provided with the optimum type of emergency lighting. All product
variants have embedded intelligence that monitor the key parameters and
self-test the unit to meet the legislative requirements. Each unit
incorporates red and green LEDs and a sounder, providing local audible
and visual indication of its status.
Downlighters for installation in corridors and open areas feature
interchangeable lenses to optimise the light output to the location.
Mini downlighters replace a standard size lighting unit; the control
electronics are housed in a separate module. Exit signs are suitable for
wall or ceiling mounting. Bulkhead fittings are available both as
standard luminaires and exit signs, suitable for internal or external
locations (sealed to IP65).
For larger installations, central control panels are available with one
to five loops; each loop supporting up to 250 individual devices of any
type. Up to 32 panels can be networked together to give single point
management of systems with up to 40,000 downlighters, exit signs or
bulkhead fittings. Each device is allocated a unique address, and the
physical location of every luminaire in the system is identified with a
descriptive label – e.g. “Ground floor east wing corridor”.
Retrofit modules enable the benefits and potential cost savings of the
Xscape family to be added to existing 8W to 70W fluorescent tube units
without replacing the entire assembly.
Data capture is an important legislative requirement; the Xscape family
provides two alternative methods of data recovery from the individual
units. Hand-held infra-red remotes enable walk-by data capture for
stand-alone units, alternatively, the units can be controlled and
managed from a central panel similar in concept to a fire alarm system
with the test data being automatically collected by the panel. The
hand-held unit is fitted with a USB 2.0 port that enables a simple
connection to any PC. Proprietary Illuminex GUI software loaded on the
PC enables all data held in the control panel to be downloaded into a
database for analysis and storage. In systems with more than one control
panel, the data held at each panel is accessible via a RS485 link,
allowing all the system data to be collected at the Illuminet supervisor
panel.
