Protection of emergency lights
Emergency lighting is not merely there for convenience. Protecting it ensures its availability, reduces liability risks and protects people. Permanent operational readiness is required, regardless of external influences. Lightning and surge events are among the most frequent causes of failure, as they impair control systems, backup batteries and communication interfaces.
Plan your surge protection early on to avoid long-term risks and follow-up costs. We will gladly help you with this.
The risk: unprotected paths
A single event is enough to put entire emergency lighting systems out of action. Particularly critical are the energy infeed and general/central power supplies, the DC and AC sides of the battery systems, control and monitoring interfaces, and network and visualisation systems.
These are the possible consequences:
If the emergency lighting fails, escape and rescue routes are no longer visible. People can quickly find themselves in danger. For operators, this means organisational measures are required, potential liability issues arise, and in extreme cases, legal consequences may follow.
Our solution: protected interfaces all round
Our protection concept safeguards all relevant power, control and communication interfaces against surges and maintains the availability of safety systems.
Added value for your planning
We view emergency lighting as part of the overall technical building equipment and help planning engineers and installers ensure long-term availability in accordance with standards. The result is clear protection structures for new and existing buildings and reduced downtime and liability risks. Standard-compliant planning avoids subsequent rectification work and ensures functionality even in the event of electrical faults.
Safely standard-compliant
Our solutions and products comply with IEC 61643-11 and Part 21. Learn more about the requirements and how you can meet them with our solutions. Further specifications on the safety of people, animals and technology are contained in the IEC 62305 series of standards, as well as national standards, regulations and laws.
