Slave Luminaire Technical Data

Slave luminaires for use with central emergency lighting systems must be compatible with the central battery unit.

The most common types are:

• Dedicated slave luminaires, with specially designed housings and circuits

• Converted mains luminaires, which have been modified by the addition of an emergency circuit, normally to operate on 24,50 or 110V AC/DC supplies

• Mains luminaires which are suitable to be powered by 230V AC inverter systems

To be compatible with the power supply unit and to comply with the luminaire product standard, whilst being installed to meet the requirements of the BS 5266 Pt 1. code of practise, the luminaires should meet the following requirements:

• Voltage compatibility - the luminaire operating range must be within the central system output voltage range, minus an additional 4% cable voltage drop

• Static inverter systems - luminaires must fully meet the requirements of EN 60598-2-22, which ensures they are suitable for use as an emergency luminaire.

Fitzgerald emergency lighting systems and slave luminaires meet these requirements in full.

Maximum run volts (0°C)	29.0V	62.0V	135.0V	265.0V
CONVERTED OR DEDICATED LUMINAIRES FITTED WITH FLGC MODULE
Minimum strike volts (0°C)	20.8V	40.0V	89.0V	-
Minimum run volts (0°C)	18.1V	37.0V	82.0V	-
Maximum run volts (0°C)	29.5V	62.0V	135.0V	-
Note: FLGC units use changeover relays, so the maintained function should be provided by the normal mains control gear. However, the module will operate on either AC or DC enabling it to operate with a maintained central system in the emergency conditions.
