MK TEST FISH KEY FOR SECRET EMERGENCY LIGHT SWITCHES

Product Information

Maintained emergency lights stay on constantly at all times and stay lit for the minimum emergency duration (usually 3 hours) after a mains failure. Maintained emergency escape lights are used in places of assembly like theatres, cinemas, entertainment halls but also shopping centres and similar venues. They allow the public to familiarise themselves with emergency routes and have the advantage that any failure of the emergency lighting bulbs can be spotted immediately. Single pole 2-way secret key emergency light switch. Part of the MK Grid Plus system. Modules simply clip into place from the front of the mounting frame (sold separately).

The SL322 from ESRs S-Line Range is a 10 Amp 2 Way key operated switch. In a white finish with smooth curved edges, this switch will blend into any modern building with ease. There are guidelines to help understand the provision requiredand landlords need to be aware of their responsibilities to carry out a fire risk assessment, and make sure their property has adequate and appropriate fire safety measures in place. How do you maint ain emergency lighting?Bedsit houses of multiple occupation of one to four storeys (with individual cooking facilities within bedsits) require conventional lighting and emergency escape lighting if risk requires such or there is no effective borrowed light. Bedsit houses of multiple occupation of five or six storeys with individual cooking facilities within bedsits require conventional lighting and emergency escape lighting If sufficient open area emergency lighting is in the vicinity of a fire exit, non-illuminated fire exit signs can be sufficient in locations of minor importance. Photo-luminescent fire exit signs would be preferable in this case, although it has to be ensured that sufficient light is reaching the photo-luminescent sign to ensure it is ‘charged’ at all times. Considerations The longevity of emergency lights is better if lamps are changed before they are fully failing. However, this recommendation probably only applies if an organisation has a contractor for the maintenance of emergency lighting and the costs of a call-out were to be substantial. In such a case pre-emptive maintenance (changing while the light is still working) makes sense. I feel that all emergency systems like emergency lighting should be powered separately from other units. Life expectancy will vary depending on the make of the battery – with some makes it is four years, some five years. When the life expectancy date expires the batteries should be changed. It is a good idea that when a battery is changed the date of installation is written on the battery for future reference. Safelincs supply spare batteries.

Offering exceptional quality and value for money, this switch is constructed from a durable plastic, and is ideal for controlling restricted access lighting or alarms via the provided key. For residential properties landlords are deemed to be the ‘responsible person’ for all fire safety and emergency lighting. Also just because the indication LED is lit does NOT mean the EL will work as required. All the LED indicates is that the batteries are being charged. The supply to self-contained luminaires should be such as to prevent unauthorised disconnection, but should incorporate suitable means for simulating a mains failure for test purposes. The source of supply should be from the same local fuse as the normal lighting, so that in the event of a fuse failure causing the normal lighting to be extinguished, the emergency lighting is brought into operation in the same locality."It's all wrong. EL fittings are meant to be on the same circuits as the normal lights, otherwise they won't come on unless you get a complete power outage (local circuit failure is common). The current BS 5266 Pt 1 2011 states, a test facility should simulate a main failure and not interrupt the normal lighting supply. So we have two wiring systems 1 the old and 2 the new and you have the both in one building. I have to wire some lighting in an office. I am putting 4 6' flo fittings in each office (there request). I was going to make on of them a combined emergency fitting and normal light. The supply will be looped in at the switch, is the correct way to wire it - power in to the fish switch (are they DP?) then via a 1 way switch to the fitting in 3 core taking permanent, switched and neutral.
