We supply a wide range of AC/DC and AC/DC central systems designed to meet the requirements of a specific applications. Central systems have advantages over self-contained emergency luminaires as follows:
Mains luminaires can be used in place of conventional emergency luminaires allowing higher light levels to be obtained.
The central system and battery cubicles, being centrally located, make maintenance, control and monitoring easier
With a wide range of battery types and sizes the design life of the battery and duration of discharge can be specifically around the parameters of the individual application
The luminaires being mounted remotely from their power source can be placed in environments where a battery may not be capable of correct operation due to extreme heat or cold
LOW POWER DC SYSTEMS - LPDC Range
We offer two ranges of lower power systems, using sealed recombination lead acid batteries. The LPDC5 uses the 5 year design life battery, and the LPDC10 the 10 year design life battery. All central systems available with 10 year design life battery's to order.
Tables below show the standard ranges but these can be augmented with alternative batteries and durations if required

* Specify NM, M operation and duration required (i.e. NM3) e.g. HPDC/24/30/NM1/VR = 24V 480 watts Non maintained operation for 1 hour
To select a model in the HPDC range, insert either NM or M describing the system operation and the system duration 1,2 or hours. Options required should be specified using the relevant suffix. e.g. "/LE" = Low Electrolyte alarm, e.g. HPDC/110/46/M3VR/LE is a 110V maintained system supplying 1350 watts for 3 hours via its Valve Regulated, lead acid battery and has a Low Electrolyte alarm facility.
