Every country has its own emer-gency regulations but if we take
the UK as an example antages – Increased safety by splitting
emergency supply into several
autonomous systems in indivi-dual fire compartments or floors– Minimised fire load by redu-
cing the amount of cable used
– Fewer wall openings necessi-tating fire barriers, resulting in drastic savings
– No extra or specialist rooms re-quired to accommodate batteries– Easy to extend by adding
extra systems Chas soe er real beneits to
oer Whilst there has been a tempta-
tion in the past to consider
emergency lighting as a fit andforget solution, recent legislationhas passed responsibility firmly
back into the hands of the buil-
ding owner/occupier. Not onlyhas he the responsibility toensure that the emergency
lighting is suitable and sufficientbut, via mandatory risk assess-ments, that the emergency light-
ing is subject to ongoing and
thorough testing, logging andmaintenance.Self Contained EmergencyManual keyswitch test systemshave been replaced by automa-ted systems as the only viable
option. Self-contained Z-Testemergency packs provide on-going, fully automatic self-moni-
toring and testing and are fittedfully integral to TECTON gear-trays.Further convenience is providedby the ZAD-Test system integra-
ted into TECTON, which provi-

are addressed, controlled andmonitored from a control panelin each local battery system. t erhas the greatest a-antage Huge reduction in on-going testing and maintenance
