Emergency lighting luminaires with a self-contained battery system provide a decentralised solution for the mandatory emergency lighting, independent of central systems. In large plants, in particular, these luminaires offer significant cost benefits.
Check out HARDO brand OptiLine lighting fixtures
OptiLine lighting fixtures are an excellent alternative to well-known global manufacturers. They are certified for use in zones 2, 21 and 22. The experience of the engineers at HARDO has enabled the identification of typical challenges associated with lighting installations that can increase the overall project costs. As a result of these insights, HARDO engineers have developed an exceptionally versatile lighting fixture suitable for both primary and emergency lighting in explosion hazard zones, all while maintaining reasonable production costs.
More safety due to sophisticated micro-electronics
Thanks to a new charging and monitoring technology with intelligent micro-electronics, the NE emergency lighting luminaires provide reliable safety and reduced maintenance costs. A function test lasting 5 minutes, that is carried out automatically on a weekly basis, even during mains operation, and a quarterly, partial duty-cycle test provide additional safety and drastically reduce the necessary amount of manual tests. The charging and discharging functions are monitored constantly by the micro-processor and are indicated via a diode display. Only the spent energy is recharged – therefore, overcharging is not possible. The so-called memory effect cannot occur – the service life of the battery is optimized. The need to replace a battery, a fault in the emergency lighting circuit or a faulty battery is indicated by the LED display. Due to a new type of battery connection, the battery can be replaced in the hazardous area. The emergency lighting cycle can be set locally for 1.5 or 3 hours. A remote switch inquiry is standard.
Maintenance possible even in hazardous areas
The battery is installed in a separate, certified housing and Ex-d connectors link the battery unit and the luminaire. After loosening the locking screws, the battery can be taken away, whereby the Ex-d switching contact in the flameproof compartment is cut-off, thus disconnecting the battery circuit. As a result, the battery is cut off completely from the charging circuit of the luminaire and it can therefore, also be replaced in the hazardous area at every time. A detachable strap protects the insert from being dropped inadvertently.
Simple and cost-effective installation
In conjunction with the generously dimensioned terminal compartment, the standard single-ended through-wiring allows a cost-effective installation. The double-sided locking facility with 10 or 20 latch points allows the protective bowl to be hinged on both sides, meaning that the fitting can be mounted on either side.
International certification
Special versions according to the NEC standards are available for use on the American market. CSA certification for the types of luminaires eLLK 92 NE 2217 (2 x 17 W) and eLLK 92 NE 4232 (2 x 32 W) allows their use there.
Other country-specific approvals, such as for Brazil or the new Eurasian Conformity (EAC) for placing them on the market in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, are available.
