Emergency Lighting Units - Fluorescent

Question 1: I have a product called Emergency Lighting Unit (EML.U). I want to use this product in a Luminary with an Electronic Ballast of 4x18W capacity. How am I going to connect it?

The connection of the Emergency Lighting Unit with an Electronic Ballast changes according to the brand and the model of the ballast used. Therefore, specifying only the power value is not enough. The wiring diagrams can be found on the Beş A website. For your requests for diagrams that cannot be found on our website, please send the fluorescent connection sketch on the ballast that you use to the email address info@bes-a.com and we are going to draw and send you the wiring diagram you need.   

Question 2: I have a product called Emergency Lighting Unit (EML.U). Can I use this product in a Luminary with a Mechanical Ballast of 4x18W capacity?

The connection of the Emergency Lighting Unit with a Mechanical Ballast does not change according to the brand and the model of the ballast used. You can find the wiring diagrams on the website http://www.bes-a.com.tr/en/dokumanlar/acil-aydinlatma-kiti-baglanti-semalari/mekanik

Question 3: I have a product called Emergency Lighting Unit (EML.U). I want to use this product with Fluorescent Lamps with 2 pins. How am I going to connect it?

Emergency Lighting Units (EML.U) can only be used with Fluorescent Lamps with 4 pins.

Question 4: I have a product called Emergency Lighting Unit (EML.U). Can I use this product with an energy saving lamp?

An Emergency Lighting Unit (EML.U) can only be used with Fluorescent Lamps with 4 pins. From the operational point of view, it has the function of switching between the Electronic Ballast and the lamp with 4 pins. When there is power it connects the ballast to the lamp and when the power is cut it disconnects the lamp from the ballast and it ignites the lamp. In energy saving lamps the ballast and the lamp is integrated. Since it is not possible to intervene in energy savings lamps at all, they cannot be used with these products.   

Question 5: How long is the charging time of the batteries of Emergency Lighting Units?

For 1-hour-capacity products at least 48 hours of charging time is needed for the first use. For the next charges 24 hours are enough. For 3-hour-capacity products at least 96 hours of charging time is needed for the first use. For the next charges 48 hours are enough.

Question 6: What does Continuous, Emergency and Integrated mean in Emergency Lighting Units?

Emergency Model: It ignites the connected fluorescent only in the case of an emergency. Continuous Model: It ignites the connected fluorescent continuously when an external ballast is used. Integrated Model: It ignites the connected fluorescent continuously through the ballast integrated in it.

Question 7: Should I use batteries of what value and capacity in Emergency Lighting Units?

In Emergency Lighting Units batteries of different values and capacities are used according to the type and value of the lamp that is being used and its emergency lighting time. This value is written on the product label that can be found on each Emergency Lighting Unit. In order not to face any kind of problems, please use a battery with the value and capacity that is written on the Emergency Lighting Unit.

Question 8: How can I figure out how much is the lighting time of an Emergency Lighting Unit in an emergency?

On Emergency Lighting Units there are product codes that start with “EMLU……” and end with “…/1H” or “…/3H”. “1H” at the end of the product codes means that the product has 1 hour capacity, whereas “3H” means that the product has 3 hours capacity in an emergency.

Question 9: I have an Emergency Lighting Unit with the product code “EMLUS-T8/15-58/1H”. Can I use this product with my luminary of 2x28W capacity?         

Emergency Lighting Units are produced with different product codes according to the types and values of Fluorescent Lamps. The lamp values that each product can use are written on the product labels. In order not to face any kind of problems, please do not use the product with fluorescents other than those, the types and values of which are written on the product label.
