Imagine a building coming alive with activity. People are working, shopping, or enjoying themselves. But what happens if the lights go out? Egress and emergency lighting come in as silent guardians, ensuring a safe path out in case of an emergency or power outage. By keeping these critical pathways illuminated, everyone inside can find their way out calmly and quickly.
WaveLinx EM takes the guesswork out of your Emergency solutions. By integrating into the WaveLinx system, you can complete monthly testing with the press of a button on your computer or mobile device.
How it works
WaveLinx EM provides wireless and wired Emergency solutions, integrated into a Mobile App, reducing the need for additional components, and additional wiring while speeding up the testing process.
Normal Operation
Normal Power Sensing (NPS) devices are used to detect the presence of normal power for an emergency set. Through wired or wireless communication, the NPS devices communicates the presence of normal power to the emergency device allowing the lighting controls to function seamlessly for a reliable user experience. By leveraging the NPS devices to sense normal power, an additional (normal power) electrical feed is not required to the emergency device.
Emergency Operation
During an emergency event, the NPS will lose power and while the EM devices will receive power from the emergency circuit that has transferred power (through an upstream UL1008 transfer switch) to the central backup power. When an NPS device loses power, the EM device will force the fixtures associated with that device to 100% output and ignore all manual actions. Once power is returned the EM devices will return to their standard operation.
