Central battery system based emergency lighting is idealfor larger projects. There are many reasons for this, the
main ones being:
Simplified maintenance
Self contained emergency luminaires each incorporate
individual rechargeable batteries. The combination of
raised ambient temperature within typical luminaires and
continuous charging under mains healthy conditions
results in a normal battery life of around 4 years. At the
end of the battery life, each individual battery must be
replaced, this is a time consuming and disruptive process
often requiring the mains fittings to be dismantled to gainaccess to the battery.
With a Central battery system the battery is housed in a
secure cabinet in a suitable, easy to access location such as
a plant room. The batteries in a central battery system will
typically have a 10 year design life, and when replacement
is required they can be easily and quickly replaced.
On large systems with hundreds of emergency luminaires,
Central battery systems potentially offer massive savings in
maintenance cost and disruption.
Why central battery systems?
Integrated Emergency lighting
Static inverter type central battery systems are able to
power suitable unmodified mains luminaires at full power
during both mains healthy and mains failed conditions.
On projects with large open areas, particularly those with
high mounting heights, the use of mains fittings operating
at full output in emergency mode can greatly reduce the
number of emergency luminaires required. The use of
suitable standard unmodified mains luminaires also hasaesthetic advantages in many applications.

This can considerably reduce the overall installed cost ofthe system by reducing the amount of distribution wiring.
Distributed systems can also increase system integrity by
limiting the area affected by failure of an individual unit.
The compact 500VA static inverter system is ideal for use
as part of a distributed system, having a small footprint
and a lift off front cover, ideal for use in areas where access
space is limited.
Centralised or distributed systems
Cooper Lighting and Security manufactures a wide rangeof Central battery systems. Standard products include
static inverter systems with ratings from 500VA to 30KVA.
Smaller systems are ideal for providing emergency lighting
in small localised areas, e.g. Atriums where traditional
emergency lighting is not appropriate, alternatively
multiple small systems can be utilised, located at
convenient points throughout the building.
Distributed systems can save on overall wiring

To complement the range of Central systems, a wideselection of slave luminaires and conversion modules is
also available, which have been specifically designed to
ensure compatibility with Cooper Lighting and Security
central systems. Alternatively ACM1 modules can be used
to enable suitable normal unmodified mains luminaires to
be utilised for both normal and emergency lighting
operation.
ACM1 modules can either be mounted inside the
designated luminaire, or housed in a remote enclosure.
When housed in a remote enclosure, the ACM1 can either
be used to control an individual luminaire or a series of
luminaires, that all share a common switched live under
normal mains healthy conditions.
The operation of the ACM1 module is described opposite.
Cooper Lighting and Security offer dedicated slave
luminaires, that have been purpose designed to operate
with static inverter systems, they have a light output and
distribution that has been optimised to provide typical
emergency lighting design values.
The use of these efficient low power luminaires can
significantly reduce the physical size, output rating and
cost of the static inverter system compared to the use ofadapted normal mains luminaires. ACM1 units can also be
used to control dedicated slave luminaires if either local
switching (see above) or non maintained operation is
required.
For non maintained slave operation, the ACM1 can be used
to hold off the supply to the dedicated emergency
luminaires until a mains failure occurs.
This is achieved by simply not adding a switched live
connection to the ACM1.

Legislation demands that emergency lighting systemsare regularly tested and maintained in full working order.
The Easicheck Addressable testing systems can greatly
simplify the testing and maintenance regime, by
automatically carrying out complete automatic testing of
the entire emergency lighting system and raising an alarm
when remedial work is required.
Easicheck removes the need for expensive, time consuming
manual testing of emergency lighting systems, and ensures
that a thorough, consistent test regime is implemented.
As well as carrying out regular testing of all connected
emergency luminaires, the Easicheck system continually
monitors the status of the central battery units to ensure
that key parameters such as battery voltage and charge
current are at the correct level.
The Easicheck system consists of a control panel (or series
of control panels on large projects) and an addressable
interface added to each emergency luminaire and control
device. An individual Easicheck panel can monitor and
control up to 250 addressable interfaces, each of which
could be either a luminaire, a control device or Central
battery system.
Where ACM1 modules are utilised to allow standard mainsfittings to also operate as emergency luminaires, special
addressable versions are available which have the same
functionality as normal ACM1 modules, but in addition
can be controlled by Easicheck for automatic testing
purposes. An additional interface is fitted to each central
battery unit to allow Easicheck to monitor critical
parameters and to activate discharge testing as required.
Control panels can operate on a stand alone basis or can
be networked together to form a single integrated system.
In addition, software and hardware packages are available
to allow Easicheck systems to connect to a computer to
provide either a text based or graphical user interface for
ease of monitoring on large sites.
The diagram below represents a typical wiring
arrangement for a networked Easicheck system connected
to a Central battery system. A comprehensive installation
planning guide is available on request to assist with the
detailed planning of an Easicheck installation.

Use the following procedure to select a correctly sizedstatic inverter:
1) Make a list of all the luminaires to be connected to the
static inverter.
2) Note the quantity of fittings of each type.
3) Establish the electrical supply details for each luminaire
type (the circuit watts and the circuit VA).
4) Multiply each of these by the quantity of luminaires
5) Add together the total Circuit wattage requirement
and the total circuit VA requirement.
6) Add an allowance (recommend a minimum of 20%)
for future expansion.
7) Select an inverter unit from the list opposite which is
capable of supplying both the required VA rating and
the required wattage rating.
Notes
1) Make sure you use the circuit watts of the fitting not
the lamp watts (with a switch start fitting, there can be
as much as 40% difference between the lamp wattage
and the actual circuit wattage of the fitting)
2) The circuit wattage of a HF fitting will be normally be
substantially lower than that of an equivalent switch
start fitting. If HF fittings are used instead of switch
start fittings, the resulting inverter is likely to besignificantly cheaper and smaller.
3) Fittings with a low Power factor have a much highercircuit VA than fittings with a high power factor.
Using low power factor fittings on a static inverter will
increase the size and cost of the static inverter unit.
4) Ensure any fitting selected for use as an emergency
fitting complies with the product standard for
emergency fittings (EN60598-2-22) note, that to
comply with this standard glow starters, or lamps
with built in starters must not be used, (use electronic
starters instead).
Worked examples
In the following examples the same fitting types have beenused in both cases, however in the first example, switch
start gear has been used as the basis for calculation, the
second example, is based on HF gear. These examples
illustrate how the use of HF gear results in a smaller and
cheaper static inverter unit.
Calculate the correct sized static inverter to support the
following load:
55 x 58W battens
21 x Twin 58W Weatherproof fittings
20 x 8W Exit signs
