MK TEST FISH KEY FOR SECRET EMERGENCY LIGHT SWITCHES

Product Information

Number of positions - this can typically range anywhere between 1-6 positions, giving you full control over how many different states and potential functions the key switch is able to differentiate between as it’s turned. Now I have to write up the Fire Risk Assessment on a new bought building (built around 2000, refurbished in 2009) but my concern is on the EL system. 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.

ESR Sline 10A White 1G 2 Way Electric Fish Key Operated Wall

single pole, 2-way secret key switch. Part of the MK Grid Plus System. Modules simply clip into place from the front of the mounting frame (sold separately).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. However I'm not too sure whether they are maintained, non-maintained or self contained or if either of them are similar or not. 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.

Borrowed lighting may be suitable in small premises (eg small shops) where there is light coming into the building from a dependable outside source, e.g. street lamps and will adequately illuminate escape routes. Alternatively, single ‘stand-alone’ escape lighting units may be sufficient in small premises and these can sometimes be combined with exit or directional signs.

From a practical point of view, a normal caretaker would be able to use a test key to remove power from emergency lights and ensure that the emergency lights stay on the required period. When it comes to repair of failing emergency lights it would most likely that an electrician would be needed unless the caretaker has sufficient qualifications to replace batteries and lamps. A test for the full duration (usually three hours) of the emergency lights must be carried out once a year. The emergency lights must still be working at the end of this test. The result must be recorded and, if failures are detected, these must be remedied as soon as possible. Escape lighting should not be on it's own circuit unless of the maintained type or part of a central battery system as it should operate on local circuit failure. 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.
