UK - Emergency lighting is an obvious requirement during an evacuation situation, but what if the cabling from the power source to the point of use is damaged? A centralised system leaves critical emergency lighting at very real risk. Why leave huge lengths of site-wide cable vulnerable to theft, fire damage or a system circuit failure when 'point of use' power system installation can provide the guarantee you need in an emergency?

Protected with features to enable operation during an emergency, the ELPS will allow for safe and controlled building evacuation, by providing power to emergency lighting at the point where it is actually needed. With one, two or three feeds the system can stand in operational modes Active Online, Automatic Standby or Manual Standby - by means of authorised key switch use
