Addressable Final Sub Circuit Monitoring The Central Battery System design shall incorporate phase monitoring. When a normal lighting phase fails the dedicated emergency fittings shall be powered from the inverter supply. The inverter supply shall be either the incoming mains supply to the inverter cabinet or the inverted battery supply in the case of cabinet mains failure. This facility ensures that the batteries are only used on a full mains failure. For purpose of troubleshooting & maintenance it is necessary that the sub circuit monitors be addressable type. Batteries The Batteries shall be maintenance free sealed lead acid, gas recombination type with a minimum design life of 10 years. They shall have extremely low gas generation, low self-discharge and have permanently sealed pressure release vents. Care should be taken to store/install these batteries in areas, which are free of prolonged extreme temperatures. The Batteries shall be sized to power the complete system for 3 hours following mains failure at 100% light output of all emergency lamps. The facility of constant monitoring shall be available. Any exit sign or subcircuit failure shall be immediately reported to the local monitoring panel and onward to all network panels. This facility enables immediate response to fitting or / and area failures. This facility should not rely on automatic or manual tests for failure indication. It shall be possible to program automatic testing of fittings individually, by group or complete system. All failures shall be indicated globally on the secure network. Each local panel shall hold its own program in a nonvolatile memory and act as a stand-alone system in the event of network failure.
