Central Battery & Monitoring Emergency and Exit lighting systems

The Alternative Power Systems central battery and monitoring system is a comprehensive emergency lighting system that incorporates a range of components. The components of the central battery and monitoring system.

1. Central Battery Bank – The central battery system is the heart of the emergency and exit lighting system, providing a centralized power source for all emergency lights (exit signs and path of egress lights). The central battery system includes a UL 941 battery bank, charger, and control system.
2. Emergency and Exit Lighting – The emergency and exit lighting is installed throughout the building to ensure that occupants can find their way to the nearest exit in the event of a power outage or fire. The emergency and exit lighting includes exit signs, emergency lights, and combination units.
3. Monitoring System – The monitoring system is used to ensure that the emergency and exit lighting system is functioning correctly. The monitoring system includes a central cloud control panel, sensors, and alarms, alerts and scheduled testing.

Installation of the Central Battery and Monitoring System:

The installation of a central battery and monitoring system requires a team of trained professionals. The process typically involves the following steps:

1. Assessment – The first step in the installation process is to assess the building’s layout and occupancy to determine the type and location of the emergency and exit lighting.
2. Design – After the assessment, the team will design the central battery and monitoring system, including the type and location of the emergency and exit lighting and the wiring and control panel.
3. Installation – Once the design is complete, the team will begin the installation process, which involves running cables, mounting lights and sensors, and installing the control panel.
4. Testing – After the installation is complete, the team will test the system to ensure that all components are working correctly and that the system is responding to power outages and fire as intended. The team will also test the monitoring system to ensure that it is detecting any faults or failures in the emergency and exit lighting.

Alternative Power Systems is committed to providing high-quality central battery and monitoring system installations that comply with the NFPA70 code. The team has extensive experience in installing these systems in a wide range of buildings, from small offices to large commercial and industrial facilities.

Maintenance and Testing of the Central Battery and Monitoring System:

To ensure that a central battery and monitoring system is working correctly, regular maintenance and testing are essential. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that emergency and exit lighting systems be tested and inspected at least once a month. The testing and inspection process includes:

1. Visual Inspection – The emergency and exit lighting system components are visually inspected to ensure that they are clean, free of damage, and in good working condition. The team checks the lights, batteries, and control panel for any signs of wear or damage.
2. Functional Testing – The emergency and exit lighting system components are tested to ensure that they are functioning correctly and responding to power outages and fire as intended. Testing the central battery system through the management control system, the emergency and exit lights, and the monitoring system to ensure that they are all working together.
3. Battery Maintenance – The batteries in the central battery system are critical components that require regular maintenance. The management system will check the batteries for any signs of wear or damage and alert the maintenance team to replace them as needed.
