The emergency light fixtures’ power is supplied by an
emergency power distribution panel that is automatically switched to a
generator or inverter upon normal power failure. The standard room switch
turns on and off both regular lights and emergency lights through the same
switch leg by means of the Model EPC Emergency Power Controller that
controls all emergency light fixtures. During room or general power failure
these emergency fixtures will illuminate automatically, regardless of room
switch on/off position, conforming to all safety codes.
The EPC-D
The Automatic Emergency Power Control device is designed
to be installed as a wiring device in the area with dimmable lights or in a
central location.
The EPC-D is a single zone silent operating control device. It is both
versatile and cost effective and is designed for dimmable lights in public
places where light levels must be maintained at 1foot candle during the loss
of normal power. The device will sense the loss of power and will transfer
the load to an available emergency source within 1.5 seconds. When normal
power is restored, the EPC-D will transfer the load back within 1.5 seconds.
Any interruption of normal power will automatically transfer designated
lights to full bright regardless whether system is turned on or off.
