Emergency Lighting:The Conventional Approach

► Most emergency lighting fixtures were designed years ago, with little regard for ease of maintenance or cost of operation


Most self‐contained batteries are not maintained as required:

► Too Expensive

► High cost of material & labor required to access batteries, remove, replace and rewire.

► Too Hard to Source

► Difficult to find replacement batteries.


Conventional Emergency Lighting: Useful Life

► Batteries are subjected to:

► HIGH TEMPS IN CEILINGS

► TEMPERATURE CHANGES

► HUMIDITY

►Typical useful life: 4 Years


Conventional Emergency Lighting: Cost

► A typical High School or larger commercial building may contain well over 1000 batteries in 1000 locations.

► The typical contractor cost to replace one single battery can be over $200


The Life Safety Codes

► NFPA 101: Life Safety Code

► NFPA 70: National Electrical Code

► Monthly Partial Battery Test

► Visual Inspection

► Annual Test‐ Full 90 minute discharge

► Written Test Reports Must BeAVAILABLE ON DEMAND


The Signtex Solution:Central Battery System with •Moonlite LED

► The first UPS power system designed specifically for emergency lighting with LED fixtures.

► Radically reduces operating costs

► Ensures full compliance with the Life Safety Code

Central Battery 100-1000 Watts at 24 VDC

NEW!

Building Utility Generator Supply


Emergency & Standby Lighting with CES

The CES panel is fed from the Standby Load Distribution Panel.

No two‐ hour rated wiring or components are required, providing significant savings on any project.

Class 2 wiring for emergency lighting circuits.


BenefitsLED emergency lighting

activates immediately after power failure.

Emergency lighting operates as long as the generator is running & storage batteries are maintained on full charge.

If generator fails, up to 100 emergency fixtures operate for 90 minutes from each CES panel.

No ten second time delay.

Redundant Emergency Lighting System.


BenefitsNo mobile or temporary

emergency power required during major maintenance.

Generators can be downsized by the amount of the total emergency lighting load.

Exterior generator installations do not require underground feeder for emergency lighting circuits.

No separate room required for emergency ATS and panel (NFPA 110 Section 7.2.2.)
