Emergency lighting rethought: intelligently networked, automatically tested and digitally documented

KeiltonEM connects emergency luminaires via Bluetooth Mesh and supports digital management, testing and documentation.

The duty stays, the effort does not

Safety lighting has to be tested and documented regularly – DIN EN 50172 and EN 62034 set out what needs to be done. In practice that has meant a ladder, a clipboard and a pen. With fifty luminaires across three floors it takes a working day, and at the end a sheet of paper goes into a folder.

Networked emergency luminaires turn that around. The devices test themselves, report the result and write the log as they go. Whoever is responsible reads off a screen instead of walking the building.

What can be networked

The Series 19 covers the usual tasks – and for existing luminaires there are emergency drivers that turn an ordinary LED fitting into a safety luminaire:

• Exit sign luminaire with a viewing distance of up to 30 metres and an interchangeable pictogram film
• Escape route luminaire with 1,200 lumens, light output adjustable to 90° or 180°
• Recessed downlight with 500 lumens for a discreet ceiling solution
• Emergency drivers for existing LED fittings and for high bays up to 300 watts

What ends up in the log

Real-time status display, automatic function tests, fast fault detection and a digital test log for export, download or sending by e-mail. What a test has to cover is set out in the guide to testing emergency lighting; the technology behind it is described on the page about Emergency lighting.

The maintenance itself is handled by NOTLUX.
