Impact Protection Ratings (IK Codes)

The document defines IK ratings from IK00 (no protection) to IK09 (10 Joules impact resistance), specifying the mechanical robustness of lighting equipment to ensure durability and safety in various environments.

Light Sources and Battery Types

Light sources include fluorescent, LED, incandescent, halogen, and neon lamps. Battery types are Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) and Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd), with lumen output linked to battery autonomy to indicate brightness duration during emergencies.

Operation Modes and Features

• Non-maintained (NM): Emergency lighting activates only during power failure.
• Maintained (M): Emergency lighting remains on continuously.
• Combined (C): Supports both maintained and non-maintained modes.
• Eco-maintained (ECO+): Energy-efficient LED-based maintained lighting.
• Remote controllable: Enables remote switching during outages.
• Emergency luminaire disabling: Option to disable emergency lighting during power failure.

Testing and Monitoring Functions

• Autotest (A-TEST): Automatic self-testing of battery, light source, and unit status with indicators.
• DaisaTest (TCA): Centralized computer monitoring for maintenance optimization.

Photometric Characteristics

• Symmetrical optics optimized for anti-panic lighting at ceiling heights 2.2–5 m.
• Asymmetrical optics optimized for evacuation routes at similar mounting heights.

Product Range and Compatibility

Multiple product models (e.g., Lens R, Argos, Hydra, Galia, Orto, Zenit, Lisu, Alzir, Aqua, Lyra, Leda, Clavo, Sherpa) are detailed with compatibility matrices indicating applicable features and certifications.

Installation and Environmental Suitability
