Batteries to be mounted on suitable rack/ enclosure for easy maintenance of the batteries.

2. ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION

2.2.1 Changeover Module

System shall be built up in a modular format with all units being plug –in –type change over modules. Each changeover module shall have 8 outputs of min 250W each or 2 outputs of max 1400W each. It shall be possible to connect each output circuit as maintained or non-maintained without any programming required. Changeover module shall have integrated transceiver circuit, which allows up to 32 addressable luminaires in each circuit. Each changeover module communicates with the control module through the internal data bus. All out going circuit shall be protected with independent fuses. The unit shall not have a floating DC circuit and shall not require separate changeover relays for both L/DC(+) and N/DC(-).

2.2.2 Battery Charger

Charger module shall be controlled by the micro processor of the control module. There shall be automatic boost charge, cyclic charge and trickle charge facility for full battery capacity use and maximum battery life. The charger shall have built-in deep discharge protection for long battery life. There shall be a DIP-switch for setting the maximum charging current, according to the battery capacity.

The system shall have temperature sensor at the battery for automatic charging voltage adjustment. Fuse protection shall be provided. The charger shall be designed for a 80% recharge of a fully discharged battery within 12 hours, as required by EN 50171.

2.2.3 Control Module

Control Module shall have the following LED indications:

Mains Operation,

Battery Operation,

Battery Overvoltage,

Battery Under voltage,

Deep Discharge,

Recharge,

Current Limit,

Battery Fault,

Internal Fault,

Battery Test Running,

Luminaire Test Running,

Internal Fault, External Fault,

Circuit Number and Luminaire Number.

There shall be an own LED indicator for each luminaire in the same circuit providing simultaneous status information of the luminaires by a single view with corresponding group (circuit) number indicating on the segment display.

Control Module shall have the following Volt free contact:

Internal Fault

Battery mode operation

External Fault

The control module of the panel shall have three main functions:

- monitor and control all test cycles and functions.

- Indicate every status of the system and the connected luminaire

- communicate with the addressable electronic ballast on every slave luminaire.

Each panel shall have push buttons for Battery Test, Luminaire Test and Fault Alarm Reset. The panel shall have the option of an integrated printer to be fitted on it.

The emergency supply panel shall supervise the battery status such as Battery Over voltage / Battery Under voltage. Charging failure shall be indicated as an Internal fault by an indicator LED and potential free relay contact.

The unit shall be fitted with a deep discharge protection circuit, which has two operation phases: When in battery mode the battery voltage decreases to 195V, a preliminary deep discharge alarm shall be given. When the battery voltage decreases to 173V, the load shall be disconnected. The circuit shall allow the battery to increase its voltage without switching the load ON again, thus avoiding detrimental full discharge. The panel shall automatically return to normal operation, once the mains supply recovers.

2.2.4 Exit Light Flashing Operation

The maintained Exit lights shall be able to operate in Flashing Mode (Momentary ON/OFF). As per NFPA 101 7.10.5.2.2: Illumination for signs shall be permitted to flash on and off upon activation of the fire alarm system. Based on the control signal from Fire Alarm System or actuating device, the Exit lights shall flash to draw the attention towards the Escape Route in case of a Zone Fire Alarm or similar situation.

3.0 Local Controllers

Local controllers should be connected to every circuit to monitor local normal lighting DBs and switch on the non-maintained luminaries during DB supply failure. There shall be no separate data cabling required between the local controllers, luminaries and panels. All necessary data transfer shall take place through the standard power supply cabling of the luminaires. Continuous monitoring of the lighting sub distribution panels shall be made by Local Controller units, each having 3-phase monitoring input. Each circuit shall have its own Local Controller so that a possible failure of a single controller does not affect the other circuits. The non-maintained luminaires at sub distribution panel area shall be lit during a local supply failure. However the emergency supply panel shall not switch to battery use as long as its own mains supply is available. The Local Controllers should comply to EN 61347-2-11:2001 in conjunction with EN 61347-1:2001.
