Modes of operation
When selecting a static inverter system as part of a centrally powered
emergency lighting design, there are several types of system available
on the market and careful consideration must be taken to choose the
correct equipment for the application.
Active stand-by:
Central Battery Systems
During the normal mode of operation, the incoming mains supply is by-
passed to the outgoing load terminals via a solid state static switch,
the inverter runs continuously with the charger supplying power to the
inverter and maintaining a nominal float voltage on the battery. Due to
the permanent active status of the inverter (off-load), power is
constantly being removed and replaced into the battery with the overall
effect of constant repetitive charge/discharge and can significantly
reduce battery lifetime (10 year life battery can almost be halved).
Active on-line:
During the normal mode of operation, the inverter runs continuously
with the charger supplying power to the inverter and maintaining a
nominal float voltage on the battery; the inverter supplies the load at all
times. The incoming mains supply is held off as a secondary by-pass
source in case of inverter fault and is used to provide charge power to
the batteries/inverter. Like the active stand-by system, active on-line
inverters run continuously and can reduce battery lifetime; aggravated
by the increase in power demand from the inverter supplying the full
equipment load.

cases, however in the first example, switch start gear has been used as
the basis for calculation, the second example, is based on HF gear.
These examples illustrate how the use of HF gear results in a smaller
and cheaper static inverter unit.

addition to escape routes, all open areas larger than 60m2 must be
illuminated in the event of the failure of the normal lighting supply.
It also clarifies that emergency lighting is needed for all parts of
schools that either do not have natural light or are used outside
normal school hours. The regulations require that systems comply
with BS 5266-1, the code of practice for emergency lighting.
Step 1 Identify fire hazards - such as sources of ignition, fuel or work processes
Evaluate the risks to check whether existing fire safety measures are adequate, including:
- Control of ignition and fuel sources
- Fire detection and warning
Step 3 - Means of escape and the provision of emergency lighting
- Means of fighting fire
- Maintenance and testing of fire precautions
- Fire safety training of employees

STAGE 1
LOCATE LUMINAIRES AT MANDATORY “POINTS OF EMPHASIS”
Initial design is conducted by situating luminaires to reveal specific hazards and highlight safety equipment and signs, in addition to providing
illumination to assist safe travel along the escape route. This should be performed regardless of whether it is an emergency escape route or an
open (anti-panic) area. Only when this is accomplished should the type of luminaire or its light output be considered. BS 5266 Pt 7: 1999 requires
that the luminaires sited at points of emphasis must comply with BS EN 60 598-2-22.

• Illumination requirements
The sign must conform to the colours of ISO 3864, which defines that exit and first aid signs must be white with green as the contrast colour.
The ratio of luminance of the white colour to the green colour must be between 5:1 and 15:1. The minimum luminance of any 10mm patch area on
the sign must be greater than 2cd/m2 and the ratio of maximum to minimum luminance shall be less than 10:1 for either colour
Central Battery Systems
Note: Internally illuminated exit signs are pre-tested to ensure they meet these requirements, provided that they comply with EN 60598-2-22. If the sign
is designed to be externally illuminated, considerable care must be taken by the system designer to see that these conditions are met. Even though an
emergency luminaire must be sited within 2 metres from the sign (see stage 1) calculations should still be made to check that the sign is adequately
illuminated.
STAGE 3
LOCATE LUMINAIRES AT THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL AREAS IN THE BUILDINGS
Locate luminaires at the following essential areas in the buildings.
These locations are not part of the escape route but because of their risk they require protection by emergency lighting. Some of these areas are
specifically defined in BS 5266-1. Others are likely to be hazard areas defined by the risk assessment and being considered as a guidance Standard pr

Other areas that need consideration as input to the risk assessment (pr BS5266-10)
Kitchens - Sudden failure of lighting while staff are cooking hot food is potentially dangerous,
currently these areas would need an emergency light over the extinguisher but emergency lighting is
needed over the area for hot food preparation. Employees need to be able to locate and turn off
machinery/ovens/hobs etc. to ensure that they do not turn on once the supply is re-instated and
cause a possible unsafe condition.
First Aid stations - Currently the requirement is for the light level needed to evacuate the
premises, however system designers consider the light level response and duration times of
emergency lighting of first aid rooms where treatment is to be given

down stairs should consider the light level response and duration times of emergency lighting in
refuges.
Fire equipment - In a fire condition, users must inspect and act on the condition of fire alarm
panels and repeaters. The light must be sufficient to enable displays to be read accurately. The staff
will also have to contact the fire brigade so they must have sufficient illumination for the number to
be dialled correctly in the emergency condition.
The emergency lighting must provide adequate direct illumination on crash bars on exit doors to
enable them to be easily seen and operated, consider using exit signs above downward light
panels.
EMERGENCY DESIGN GUIDE
STAGE 4
ESCAPE ROUTE LIGHTING
When the points of emphasis have been covered, it is essential to provide any additional luminaires to ensure that minimum illuminance levels are met
to enable the routes to be used safely. In addition, every compartment on the escape route must have at least two luminaires, to provide some light in
the event of luminaire failure.
• Photometric Design
Emergency Escape Routes
The use of authenticated spacing tables or a suitable computer
program provides the information to determine whether luminaires
are needed in addition to those for the points of emphasis (see
data section), to provide the minimum required level of illumination
on the escape routes. To ensure that the design will meet the
required levels at all times the data is de-rated, as required by the
standard, to cover the following factors:
i. Reduction in light as the battery voltage reduces during
discharge.
ii. Ageing of lamps in maintained circuits

MANUAL TESTING
If manual testing is utilised, the following points should be considered:
- Is a single switch to be used? Unless the whole building is to be
switched off, a separate switch should be used for each final
circuit. As the feed to non-maintained circuits must be taken from
the switch this will probably mean that the building will have to be
walked around twice, once to check the luminaires and once to
check that they are recharging
- Are luminaires to be individually switched? In practice, only a
single walk around the building will be needed. However, the test
switches could spoil the décor of the building and they must be of
a type that is tamper proof. After the tests, the performance of the
luminaires must be logged.

The effect of dirt on the diffuser must also be allowed for, so an allowance for 20% as recommended by ICEL has been built into these spacing tables.
If the design is being produced on a computer, similar allowance should be made.
System lumen reduction factors used in the following lumens chart are:
SYSTEM TYPE SELF-CONTAINED 24 VOLT SLAVE 50 & 110 VOLT SLAVE 230 VOLT INVERTER SLAVE
K Factor 0.85 0.65 0.7 0.95
S Factor 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85
When applied with the appropriate Ballast Lumen Factors % with typical fluorescent lamps, they give the following Emergency Lighting Design Lumens
(ELDL) for typical fluorescent lamps which can be used for spacing calculations:
118
Notes: 1. ADV series modules suitable for use with switch start circuits only
2. Other lamp type/wattage data on request
1. The table of emergency lighting design lumens (above), should be consulted to determine the minimum emergency lamp output for the particular
lamp/circuit required, for use with either spacing tables or a computer design program.
2. The appropriate spacing table should then be selected and used, checking the following points:
Central Battery Systems
• That the shape of the polar curve corresponds with the luminaire to be used
• That the value of the output is similar (LOR and at the nadir. Variations can be compensated for, by determining a ratio for the lamp output value
obtained in 1)
3. The spacing limits for escape routes or open areas can then be read off for specific height and lamp outputs.
Note: If different values of minimum light level are needed, they can also be obtained by determining a ratio for the lamp output value i.e. To ensure a
minimum of 10 lux on the centre line of an escape route, a value 10 times greater must be applied to the chart value. So 2000 lumen lamp output gives
the same spacing to 10 lux as 200 lumens does for 1 lux.
To quickly develop an initial spacing layout, the spacing values from the nearest table should be used. This can then be applied to the software and
modified as required, to obtain the optimum luminaire layout. Illuminance levels can then be calculated, verifying the system design as required by
BS 5266-1:1999 & EN 1838.

The effect of dirt on the diffuser must also be allowed for, so an allowance for 20% as recommended by ICEL has been built into these spacing
tables. If the design is being produced on a computer, similar allowance should be made.
System lumen reduction factors used in the following lumens chart are:
SYSTEM TYPE SELF-CONTAINED 24 VOLT SLAVE 50 & 110 VOLT SLAVE 230 VOLT INVERTER SLAVE
When applied with the appropriate Ballast Lumen Factors % with typical fluorescent lamps, they give the following Emergency Lighting Design
456 Lumens (ELDL) for typical fluorescent lamps which can be used for spacing calculations:
Notes: 1. ADV series modules suitable for use with switch start circuits only
2. Other lamp type/wattage data on request
1. The table of emergency lighting design lumens (above), should be consulted to determine the minimum emergency lamp output for the
particular lamp/circuit required, for use with either spacing tables or a computer design program.
2. The appropriate spacing table should then be selected and used, checking the following points:
• That the shape of the polar curve corresponds with the luminaire to be used
• That the value of the output is similar (LOR and at the nadir. Variations can be compensated for, by determining a ratio for the lamp
output value obtained in 1)
3. The spacing limits for escape routes or open areas can then be read off for specific height and lamp outputs.
Note: If different values of minimum light level are needed, they can also be obtained by determining a ratio for the lamp output value
i.e. To ensure a minimum of 10 lux on the centre line of an escape route, a value 10 times greater must be applied to the chart value.
So 2000 lumen lamp output gives the same spacing to 10 lux as 200 lumens does for 1 lux.
To quickly develop an initial spacing layout, the spacing values from the nearest table should be used. This can then be applied to the software
and modified as required, to obtain the optimum luminaire layout. Illuminance levels can then be calculated, verifying the system design as
required by BS5266-1:1999 & EN1838.
