Description & Key Features
These Emergency power packs allow the LED fixtures to meet requirements for emergency illumination. Designed especially for Constant Current type LEDs and circuits, utilizing DC/DC switcher circuitry. The product is compatible with a wide range of LED fixtures, ideal for LED panel lights, LED downlights, LED ceiling lights, and many others with external LED drivers and low voltage (15-90V).
- IC controlled Dual rate Charger for energy savings.
- Short circuit protection at battery terminals.
- Battery reverse protection functionality.
- Charge indicator and test button. The light fittings guarantee safety of people in buildings open to the general public.
- Automatically actuated in the event of power cuts, these devices (kit + light fitting) offer a good luminous flux to facilitate the evacuation.
- Comply with European standards EN 61 347-2-7 and offer a high level of quality and safety meeting the various prevailing regulations.
- Dial the code to suitable voltage of luminaires. 1 or 3 hours rated duration.
- Constant current output, emergency power is varied by lighting output voltage, automatically matching with the lighting setting to provide the best illumination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are there any recommended testing procedures for the LED Emergency Drivers?
Press the test button to cut the power to the AC driver and switch the system to Emergency Mode. Release the test button to return to Normal Mode. Switch off the circuit breaker to simulate a full power outage. For Initial Testing, allow the unit to charge approximately one hour, and then conduct a short discharge test. Allow 24 hours of charge before conducting a full emergency duration test.
Q2: Is there a shelf life to the batteries?
The emergency drivers include NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries. NiCd batteries can be stored in either a charged or discharged state. However, long-term storage can accelerate battery self-discharge and lead to the deactivation of reactants. Although the cells can be stored at temperatures between -20°C and +45°C, heat can cause deterioration of the active chemicals. It is best to keep the cells in a cool, clean, dry, non-corrosive environment. After prolonged storage, two or three deep discharge cycles may be needed to restore full capacity.
Q3: Does it need to be charged for the first time usage after installation?
Yes, the battery packs must be charged continuously for over 24 hours after the initial installation to ensure maximum capacity and performance.
Q4: Can the emergency backup kit work with all types of LED lights?
No, different emergency kits are designed to match specific types of lamps. Please check the voltage and power range requirements of your fixture to choose the compatible emergency battery pack configuration.
Q5: How do I know if I should choose a high-temperature battery or a regular-temperature battery?
The high-temperature battery can be trickle charged successfully even when the emergency kit operates in hot conditions due to prolonged light operation. A regular-temperature battery may stop charging in high heat, leading to potential backup failure. We recommend utilizing high-temperature battery packs for integrated emergency kits.
Q6: Do these emergency modules feature overcharging and over-discharging protection?
Yes. The battery is charged continuously when mains power is active, and the charging current decreases based on the real-time capacity status of the battery packs. When fully charged, the current drops to minimal trickle levels. Additionally, during discharge operation, the emergency module features a low-voltage cutoff to prevent over-discharging.
