Luminaires designed for a long time. Emergency lighting lamps. Emergency lighting lamps on the Evacuation paths of Ontec R C1, C2 TM TECHNOLOGIE

LED products, rapidly bursting to the market of lighting, instantly won consumer confidence. They are actively used in the arrangement of the lighting of residential and administrative rooms, premises on industrial and production facilities. Often, the latter can be found an emergency LED lamp that is activated in emergency situations and intended to simplify the evacuation process.

Even in the case of such a limited application, there is a wide variety of lighting products, which complicates its choice.

Types of emergency lighting systems

Emergency lighting performs the functions of an alternative for a standard system, and also guarantees the safety of working personnel in emergency situations.

There are several schemes for the arrangement of this system, differing by layout and type of lamps:

1. Permanent action. The light works on an ongoing basis. In the usual atmosphere, lighting devices work from an industrial power grid, in case of emergency situations, the power goes to batteries.
2. Non-permanent action. The inclusion of light occurs solely as needed. In the usual setting, the devices are disabled from the power.
3. Combined lamps. The scheme is characterized by the presence of two lamps or several groups. One group is considered the main, and the other is emergency.
4. Autonomous emergency lights that function from the built-in battery. Recall the signs with an excription or "output".
5. Centralized emergency lighting system. Used common battery installations.

Where can I meet

Instruments are operated at various enterprises, including:

• industrial and production facilities;
• administrative offices, municipal institutions;
• big shops (supermarkets or hypermarkets);
• banking and other financial institutions;
• airports, Railway Stations, etc.

Installation sites of various LED devices

Emergency lighting should be equipped for the following seats:

1. Release zone. At any output, a minimum of two lamps located on the sides are set. If the lighting from one lamp is organized, it is mounted on the passage, in the center.
2. Corridor. In this case, the lamps are located so that the light falls on the walls throughout the perimeter of the room. LED lamps are installed so that the center of the corridor is always lit.
3. Staircase. Starting ladder should reduce the risk of injury when evacuating working personnel. Luminaires are located along the walls and on the steps.

In each of the listed locations, lamps are used with certain characteristics, which is associated with the set requirements.

Often emergency lighting occurs near safety signs, location of fire protection facilities. It is important to provide bright and high-quality lighting at intersections, where the path of evacuation changes its direction. The light should fall on a sign indicating the right direction.

In addition to emergency, backup LED lights are used, which can be found:

• in production, where the technological process stop is strictly prohibited;
• in operating rooms;
• in dispatching, where people are responsible for managing vehicles or energy systems;
• in salvation services.

Emergency LED fixtures with constant connections are used in those sites of production enterprises, where the likelihood of injury or the death of workers is high in the event of a disconnection of the main lighting. They are also needed in warehouses during the operation of the loading equipment.

LED lamp on the battery

One of the most practical devices operating from the built-in battery and independent of the functionality of the centralized power supply system. Each individual lamp has its own battery, so there are no risks associated with the failure of the common battery installation.

But such practicality is not good in every sense. To maintain the functionality of emergency lighting, you need to constantly monitor the level of charge of batteries on all lighting devices. A separate employee must control the degree of wear of the batteries, each of which has its own resource.

The presence of LED diodes instead of standard incandescent lamps allows you to spend the minimum amount of electrical energy from the battery when the bright light flux is saved. This is a huge advantage that increases the life of duty lighting after disconnecting the central power supply.

Also, LEDs are characterized by durability. Often the lamps with the battery are operated to power the signs with the Exit inscription ("output"). Common devices encountered in all stores of electrical engineering.

Advantages and disadvantages

Of the advantages of lamps, the work of which is based on LEDs, select the following:

1. Economical operation. Electricity consumed at the same level of light flux in comparison with conventional incandescent lamps 8-10 times lower. Actual feature with frequent use of emergency lighting. By saving energy consumed, more expensive devices pay off quickly.
2. Long service life. Its value can reach 100,000 hours, but on average 40,000 equals. During operation, the LED gradually degrades, which reduces the brightness of the light flux. The lamp continues to perform functions assigned to it.
3. Stability before mechanical effects. The design of diodes eliminates the presence of easily damaged components. For comparison: inside the incandescent lamp is a spiral that bursts from the slightest vibration. It, like a luminescent lamp, is made from a fragile, beating glass. The housing of the LED is made of polymeric materials resistant to essential mechanical loads.

1. High security. A built-in or remote battery is used as a power source (or rechargeable installation), which increases the electrical safety of these lamps. The LED during operation is heated to a temperature of not more than 60 ° C. This guarantees fire safety device. In the case of mechanical destruction of the lamp, the likelihood of injury or shock is excluded, which cannot be said about mercury and incandescent lamps.
2. Ecology device. Full security for human health, lack of need for special disposal. The fluorescent lamp contains mercury, therefore, in damage to its body, a person may be exposed to toxic substance.
3. The optimal flow of light. There are no flicker in such lamps, since DC sources are used. It is possible to choose a color temperature so that the light radiation is close to daylight. The absence of harm to the visual apparatus determines the possibility of long-term use in places with a large cluster of people.

Allocate any disadvantages difficult. The only cost can be called higher cost, but due to the large operational resource and low electricity consumption, the product pays for themselves quite quickly.

Requirements for emergency lighting

A variety of requirements are made to LED lamps for duty lighting:

1. Lamps used must comply with regulatory documents prescribed for a particular room. The main parameter is the level of illumination. Typically, you should use lamps for nutrition from 12 V, while the illumination should be 1 suite for evacuation waste and 0.5 suite for open spaces.
2. Electric and fire safety.
3. Stability of the case, reliability of the electronic circuit and all components of the chain. At the output, for example, you need to place lamps with an increased class of moisture protection.
4. The housing is made of durable material. The choice of one or another depends on the operating condition of the instruments.
5. The presence of a battery is best proven devices with built-in battery. Low electricity consumption with the luminosity of LEDs allows emergency lighting to work for several hours, which is enough to complete the evacuation of the working personnel.

The battery can be purchased separately and install it in a chain with other models of lighting devices that were produced without it. Connection remains the same.

Important! Do not forget about the method of installing emergency lighting lamps. The devices are embedded, overhead and partially embedded. In most cases, it is recommended to use overhead luminaires with built-in batteries.

Select the optimal model

Before buying, learn the main technical and operational characteristics of the instruments. These include:

1. Offline work time. For most emergency situations, three hours of emergency lighting are enough.
2. The degree of security is a class of protection against dust and moisture penetration. It is indicated as IP XY, where X indicates protection against dust, and y - from moisture. The higher the value of these parameters, the more sealed is the device. Production facilities need products with an increased class of protection, whereas in offices can be installed less protected and cheaper lamps.
3. Fastening. Lamps can be installed on the ceiling or attached to the wall. The ability to embed a wall or ceiling reduces the cost of these instruments.

Emergency lamps are mandatory electrical devices at production facilities, in administrative and municipal buildings. They are intended for timely and long lighting of evacuation paths and outputs in emergency situations.

LED appliances with built-in batteries have significant advantages against the background of other light sources. Nevertheless, it is forbidden to equip the emergency lighting system with your own hands. This should deal with qualified wizards who know all the subtleties selection of models of lamps and subsequent installation. They will be responsible for the compliance or inconsistency of the system by the established requirements prescribed in the regulatory documentation.

One of the most important issues in production in emergency is safety. Decisions, as a rule, depending on the current situation can be the most diverse. When it comes to emergency lighting, then autonomous power supplies use. Emergency LED lamps with charging batteries are used in the breakdown of the main sources of electricity supply. The safe completion of the workflow, the evacuation of the employees of the enterprise to troubleshoot the system help solve autonomous LED devices running on batteries.

In this article:

Description of lighting equipment

Emergency lamps are autonomous lighting devices that continue to function even after stopping the operation of the main electrical power supply. The functions of the lighting equipment of this type are to ensure effective evacuation of working personnel in the event of dangerous situations, as well as in case of termination of electricity supply from the main power source. Lighting equipment works on the battery, which are recharged from the standard power grid.

According to current standards, almost all public facilities are equipped with emergency lamps, for example, medical and educational institutions, office buildings, shopping centers, cinemas, administrative buildings, manufacturing enterprises and other objects.

Constructive features

Emergency lighting devices are equipped with acidic, lithium batteries, power drivers of LED elements. Charging the battery is made from a standard power grid, while the LEDs will not shine.

Important! The first time the battery must be charged for two days. According to the safety requirements, the battery must provide lighting at least one hour.

• The new emergency lamp with the battery for the first time necessarily discharged completely.
• Every year it is also recommended to fully discharge the battery of the device to check its functional abilities.

The prevention of equipment is carried out as follows:

• The lighting device is disconnected from the main nutrition network.
• The emergency mode of operation is activated.
• Checking how much lamp will be lit on a fully charged battery.

Modifications of lamps

Emergency lighting lighting devices

Luminaires of this type are included exclusively in the event of a breakdown of the main source of electricity supply. If there is voltage in the main power grid, the emergency light bulbs will not shine, only their batteries are charged. Only electricity disappears, emergency lighting immediately starts.

All modern lighting emergency devices are equipped with LEDs. Lamps of this type give a rather bright flow of light and at the same time consume a minimum amount of energy. They also differ quite a long service life.

Almost all models of lamps for emergency lighting with a battery are equipped with indicators that show the presence of network voltage, charging batteries. Depending on the model of the product, the period of operation may differ, but on average 1-3.5 hours.

Permanent Lighting Emergency Devices

Unlike previous emergency lighting devices, such models work constantly. They are used first as working light, and when voltage disappears in the standard network, automatically continue to operate from its own battery.

Instruments for emergency lighting of this type are used not only as emergency lamps. They are also used in the arrangement of the lighting system in the country, in country cottages, as well as in apartment buildings.

Combined emergency lamps

Emergency lighting equipment is equipped with several lamps simultaneously. A part of the bulbs works from the main electrical network, and part of the batteries.

Requirements for emergency lighting devices

• The labeling of autonomous lighting lamps is carried out strictly according to GOST. At the same time, it is necessary to be information about the operational modes, the characteristics of the power supply, the period of continuous lighting.

• In batteries there must be indicators showing the degree of charging. They must have a period guarantee of operation of four years.

• Electric cartridge for lamps must also have labeling. This is necessary so that during operation, if necessary, the lamps were replaced with appropriate analogues.

Benefits

• A long period of operation is at least 30 thousand hours.
• The cost-effective consumption of electrical energy consumed is ten times less, if compared with standard incandescent lamps.
• Easy service. You just need to follow the charging batteries.
• Instantly after connecting the device, the maximum lighting brightness, while the light stream does not blind, there is no flicker.
• Environmentally friendly equipment, do not constitute hazards for human health.
• Increased resistance to shocks, vibration due to the absence of incandescent filaments in LEDs. Glass is made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, withstanding the entering of pneumatic weapons.
• Simple diagram of connecting LED devices. Installation can be performed independently.
• Many chasposition options provide the ability to change the lamp at low power, burnout.
• Thanks to the use of minimum capacities, such lighting devices do not heat up more than sixty degrees.

The only disadvantage of such light equipment can be noted the need to continuously monitor battery charging.

How to choose a lamp?

By purchasing emergency lighting devices, the main thing is to determine the purpose of the product, its operating conditions.

• Working period offline operation. As the practice of using emergency lighting devices to eliminate any mortage problems is needed to three hours.

• Fastening system. Products can be manufactured specifically for ceiling bases, wall surfaces, respectively, the fasteners will differ.

• Protection level. Depending on the operating conditions, the equipment protection index is selected. For example, the highest is intended for the use of emergency lighting devices in industrial workshops, and with a minimum level of protected product, it is possible to mount in office space.

Important! To effectively work, batteries should always be recharged to a maximum. Therefore, constant control should be carried out.

In connection with the possible interruptions in the supply of electricity this winter, the issue of emergency lighting is becoming particularly relevant for enterprises and organizations.

In accordance with regulatory acts, almost any public premises should be equipped emergency lighting lamps. The scope of the use of emergency lamps is extensive and diverse: they are used in offices, shops, administrative buildings, production shops, schools, hospitals, concert halls, cinemas, and so on.

Emergency lighting It continues to work in case of termination of the standard power supply and is intended to ensure the possibility of evacuating people in case of disabling overall lighting or in other emergencies. For the power supply of the lamps of this type, either the backup power networks or autonomous power sources (batteries) are used.

Emergency lighting is divided into three types:

• evacuation emergency lighting is necessary on those objects where the coverage of evacuation paths (tunnels, corridors, evacuation outputs, stair lifts of public buildings are required;
• reserve emergency lighting is necessary where the stop of a technological or other process is impossible or extremely undesirable, for example, in carrying out a complex surgery, in central controls and control panels of power system, transport, rescue services, etc.;
• emergency lighting of industrial zones of increased danger is necessary where there is a risk of death or injury due to the disconnection of work lighting, for example, in large warehouses where people work and at the same time loaders are used.

Emergency lighting lamps or emergency lights are used to organize emergency lighting.

Fixtures of emergency lighting are divided into three types:

• The emergency lamp of the Permanent Action - the lamp in which the emergency lighting lamps work constantly when working or emergency lighting is necessary. In such a lamp, the lamp continues to operate when the network is disconnected.
• An emergency lamp of a non-permanent action - a lamp in which the emergency lighting lamps are turned on only when the working light power supply system is violated.
• The combined emergency lighting lamp is a lamp with two or more lamps, in which at least one works in the emergency power supply, and the other from the working lighting network.

Constant Mountains. These are lamps in which emergency lighting lamps work constantly when working or emergency lighting is needed. In the Assortment "MPO Electrical installation" presented fixtures of permanent action (production of "Legrand" and "White Light"), in which, if there is a voltage in the network, the 8 W lamp works and the built-in battery is recharged. In case of disconnection of electricity, the lamp operates for 1 hour from the battery. Rechargeable battery type: Nickel Cadmium. Degree of protection: IP42, IP65.

Non-permanent factors In which emergency lighting lamps are activated only when the working light is disrupted. Manufacturers of this product - "White Light", "Light Technologies" and "Legrand". If there is a voltage in the network, the built-in battery is recharged. In case of power disconnection, an emergency lamp is turned on (from 4 to 8 W). As a rule, the LED indication shows the presence of supply voltage, and, consequently, recharging. Battery operating time: from 1 to 3.5 hours. Rechargeable battery type: Nickel Cadmium. Degree of protection: IP22, IP42, IP65.

Combined emergency lampwith two or more lamps, in which at least one runs from the emergency power supply, and the other (IE) is from the network of work lighting. In the company's assortment, this type of lamps is represented by the production of the company "White Light". If there is a voltage in the network, the main lamp (from 4 to 8 W) and the built-in battery is recharged. When the electricity is turned off, the emergency lamp is turned on (from 4 to 8 W). Battery running time: from 1 to 3 hours. Rechargeable battery type: Nickel Cadmium. Degree of protection: IP22, IP42, IP65.

Most often, emergency lamps are installed on the wall or embedded in the wall using clips. However, some models of emergency lighting luminaires can be installed on the ceiling or embedded in it when using a two-way diffuser.

Hello, dear readers and guests of the site "Electrician Notes".

The speech in this article will go about the choice of the lamp for emergency lighting.

The next "conversation" was pushed to writing this article with the fire department inspector on the emergency evacuation lighting in the room.

Emergency evacuation lighting is additional lighting, which should be turned on when the power supply or failure of the main work light is disabled. It is necessary to ensure the safe conditions of the evacuation of people from the building: lighting of ways to evacuation (corridors, stair lifts, outputs, etc.), workers of increased danger and outdoor areas to prevent panic.

You can get acquainted with the requirements for emergency lighting on your own in the following regulatory documents:

• Pue-7, Chapter 6.1 "Emergency Lighting", P.P.6.1.21 - 6.1.29 ()
• Vault of Rules SP 52.13330.2011 "Natural and Artificial Lighting" (Actualized edition Snip 23.05-95 *), P.P.7.104 - 7.111
• Federal Law of July 22, 2008 N 123-FZ "Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements": Article 82, P.9, Article 84, p.1

Currently, only the output indicator "Exit" is installed in an electrolaboratory over each evacuation output.

But tell me honestly, how to get to the doors, for example, in case of fire without basic lighting? In such a chicken darkness, it is possible to stumble upon each other or "break" the legs about the objects installed in the passage.

In our case, there are two options for performing emergency evacuation lighting.

1. The first option is to install an additional emergency lighting flap (SHA), powered by a separate cable directly from, then install the required number of lamps and pave feeding cables to them, and cables must maintain their performance even in a fire conditions, t. e. Laying cables are needed, either in metal pipes, or apply fire-resistant cables, for example, WGG-FRLS. This option is expensive and does not fit into the framework of my budget.

2. The second option is faster and significantly economical than the previous one. To do this, you need to purchase fixtures of evacuation lighting with the emergency power supply unit (BAP) and connect them to existing lighting lines. In this case, the requirements for evacuation lighting of the placing the electrolaboratory will be fully implemented.

Naturally, the number of lamps and places of their installation are determined by the project after the corresponding lighting calculations on the surface of the evacuation paths.

As a result, the inspector with the inspector came to a common opinion and chose on the autonomous LED lamp ELP-57-A-LED from EKF with an emergency power supply unit (BAP). It is intended for permanent or temporary lighting. Made, according to GOST R IEC 605981-1-2003 "Lighting devices. Part 2-22. Special requirements. Luminaires for emergency lighting. "

Light lamps can be applied, because The color rendition index is RA\u003e 40. But no longer pass on this requirement.

The package includes:

• lED lamp
• feed wire with a fork length 0.7 (m)
• mounting kit
• passport

Here is the appearance of the lamp.

Dimensions.

The feed wire has a length of 0.7 (m) and is located in a special compartment.

The material of the luminaire case is made of impact-resistant and unsupportive combustion of plastic ABS, and the material of the diffuser is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

This lamp can be used not only as stationary, but also in the form of a portable. He has a retractable handle from the end, as well as the support for the vertical installation.

Specifications of emergency lighting lamp with ELP-57-A-LED battery

Here is its main technical characteristics:

• power supply 220-240 (B)
• luminaire power 3.5 (W)
• luminaire power in charge mode 15 (W)
• the power of the lamp in the charge mode with the included lighting 18 (W)
• number of LEDs - 57
• light stream 390 (LM)
• color Temperature 4000K (White Light)
• service life 30000 (hours)
• degree of protection IP20.
• operating temperature from 0 ° C to + 40 ° C
• luminaire mass 1.5 (kg)
• warranty 2 years

With the disappearance of the supply voltage (emergency operation), the lamp operates from the built-in lithium-ion battery for 3 hours. According to SP 52.13330.2011, P. 7.106, the operation time of emergency lighting should be at least 1 hour.

To get to the battery and the lamp scheme (driver) you need to unscrew 10 screws.

Battery capacity 2000 (MA · H), voltage 3.7 (c), service life - more than 3 years.

The maximum battery charging time is 12 hours. Before the first inclusion, the battery charging should be at least a day.

To prevent reduction of the battery life and reduce its capacity, it is necessary to produce a full cycle of its charge and discharge.

All LEDs (57 pieces) are connected in parallel and placed on three boards.

Food on the boards comes from the driver, and between the boards there are jumpers: the red wire "+", black - "-".

Connecting the luminaire is carried out using.

When the plug is turned on, the "Charge" indicator immediately lights up. The charge of the battery is carried out constantly, regardless of the selected mode of operation of the lamp.

The lamp has 2 modes of operation:

AC / DC (permanent)

• DC (non-permanent)

Selecting the operating mode of the lamp is carried out using the switch on the sidebar.

In AC / DC mode, the lamp is constantly included with the simultaneous battery charge (the charge indicator is on).

With the disappearance or reduction of the supply voltage, the lamp will automatically switch to power from the built-in battery, the LEDs will continue to burn.

In the "DC" mode, the lamp is in the off state, but with a constant charge of the battery (the "charge" indicator is on).

When disappearing or reducing the network voltage, the lamp will automatically turn on - LEDs will light up.

Checking the lamp during operation

To test the performance of the lamps during operation there is a red "test" button. Check required at least 1 time per month. For this, respectively, the lamp must be connected to the outlet.

Install the switch mode switch to the "AC / DC" position, after that the LEDs will immediately light up. Click on the "Test" button - while nothing will change, the LEDs will continue to burn.

Then we set the switch mode switch to the "DC" position - the LEDs do not have to burn. Press the "Test" button and the LEDs should turn around.

The principle of operation of the lamp and modes of its work you can see the video below:

P.S. On this I finish the article. There will be questions - write to the mail or in the comments. Thanks for attention.

The technological development of the Lighting Market in Russia leads to increased requirements from customers to the supplied products - to the characteristics of equipment, its quality, development and supply periods, certificates. And Emergency Lighting This applies hardly in the first place, because this type of lighting is needed on any object, regardless of its purpose and sizes. Requirements for emergency coverage are much more serious than to work coverage and are regulated by a number of regulatory documents.

Experts of the White Light prepared a unique analytical overview of the regulatory documentation operating (including those who have entered into force in 2015) in the territory of the Russian Federation regarding the design and operation of emergency lighting systems and the system of alerts and management of people's evacuation.

II. Terms and Definitions

The definitions given in accordance with the regulatory documents are indicated by the number of the document on the list from section I in square brackets; The definitions that are absent in regulatory documents are prepared by the experts of the company "White Light 2000" and designate [white light].

A. Basic concepts.

1. Emergency lighting.

SP52.13330.2011, GOST IEC 60598-2-22-2012 and GOST R 55842-2013, are given identical definitions of the term "emergency lighting". In GOST R 55842, it is revealed slightly and authentic to international definition.

Emergency lighting - Lighting intended for use in disruption of the operation of the working light.

At the same time, Russian federal laws No. 123-FZ and No. 384-FZ determine emergency lighting (AO), including as a means of ensuring safety in the event of a fire and other emergencies.

FZ No. 123 considers the inclusion of emergency lighting as one of the ways to notify people and ensure their safe evacuation in the fire. In FZ No. 384 (Article 2, Part 2.1) provides an extended definition of emergency lighting, in which 2 basic requirements for JSC can be distinguished:

• the presence of an autonomous source of power supplying in a fire, accident and other emergencies;
• the ability to enable emergency lighting when alarm is triggered or manually.

In addition, GOST R 55842-2013 (clause 4.2.1) states that "evacuation lighting should ensure the safe yield of people from the room in case of an emergency, for example, a refusal of work lighting, fire, etc."

Thus, with the total consideration of the regulatory and legislative framework of the Russian Federation in relation to emergency lighting, it is possible to conclude the need to formulate a new definition that meets all current requirements.

As one of the possible options, "White Light" proposes to consider the following definition:

Emergency lighting - Lighting powered by an independent power source, included automatically in case of disruption of the operation of the working light, when the corresponding alarm is triggered or manually. [White Light]

2. Ways of evacuation - Ways to evacuate people in an emergency.

3. Evacuation output - Exit designed for use in an emergency.

4. Evacuation lighting - A kind of emergency lighting for evacuating people or the completion of a potentially dangerous process.

5. Reserve lighting - A emergency lighting form to continue working in case of disconnecting the working light.

6. Evacuation paths - A type of evacuation lighting for reliable identification and safe use of evacuation paths.

7. Antipanic lighting (evacuation lighting of large areas) - View of evacuation lighting to prevent panic and safe approach to evacuation paths.

8. Evacuation lighting of increased danger zones - A type of evacuation lighting for the safe completion of a potentially dangerous workflow.

Note: The SP52.13330.2011 uses the term "Evacuation lighting of increased danger zones", GOST R 55842-2013 - "Lighting of increased danger zones".

9. Emergency lighting system - A combination of technical means together providing all types and modes of emergency lighting within the fire area, premises, buildings or structures. [White light]

10. Autonomous emergency lighting system (ACAO) - emergency lighting system, the elements of which are provided by power from individual autonomous power sources (emergency power units). [White light]

11. Centralized emergency lighting system (CSAAO) - emergency lighting system, the elements of which are provided by power from a total centralized power source (central battery installations; diesel generator sets (DGU); uninterruptible power sources (UPS); separate input of the power supply system, independent of the main input). [White Light]

12. Group emergency lighting system (GSAO) - emergency lighting system, the elements of which are provided by power from the power supply of the power supply located in the same fire area (group battery installations, UPS). [White Light]

B. Equipment of emergency lighting systems and soy.

13. Emergency lamp - Luminous device designed to work in emergency lighting systems to ensure the normalized light and illumination of safety signs. [White light]

III. Emergency Lighting Requirements

Below are the basic requirements for emergency lighting systems in accordance with the SP52.13330.2011 rules, unless otherwise indicated.

Emergency lighting is divided into two main types: evacuation lighting and backup lighting.

In turn, evacuation lighting includes:

• illumination of evacuation paths;
• antipanic lighting (evacuation lighting of large areas);
• evacuation lighting of increased danger zones.

Lighting requirements for various emergency lighting are shown in Table:

GOST R 55842-2013 refined lighting requirements for some evacuation lighting objects:

Evacuation lighting It should provide acceptable visual conditions for the evacuation of people in the event of an accident, fire or other emergency.

Evacuation path lighting In the premises or in places production work outside buildings should be provided for:

• at the intersection of passages and corridors;
• before each evacuation yield;
• before each point of medical care;
• in places of accommodation of emergency communications and other funds intended for a notification of emergency.

Antipanic lighting It is aimed at preventing panic and providing conditions for a safe approach to evacuation paths. It is envisaged in large premises - more than 60 m 2.

Evacuation lighting of increased danger zones It should be provided for the safe completion of a potentially dangerous process or situation.

Reserve lighting It should be provided if, under the conditions of the technological process or situation, a normal continuation of work is required in disruption of the nutrition of work lighting, as well as if the associated disruption of the maintenance of equipment and mechanisms can cause:

• death, injury or poisoning of people;
• explosion, fire, long impaired technological process;
• leakage of toxic and radioactive substances into the environment;
• violation of such objects such as electrical stations, nodes of radio and television gear and communications, dispatching points, water supply, sewage and heat pumping installations, installation of ventilation and air conditioning for industrial premises, in which the cessation of work is unacceptable, etc.

Light signs (safety signs with internal illumination) are set:

• above each evacuation exit;
• on evacuation paths, unambiguously indicating the directions of evacuation;
• to refer to the post of medical care;
• to denote the placement of primary fire extinguishing facilities;
• to denote the placement of emergency funds and other funds intended to notify an emergency.

Requirements for installing light pointers and light fire alarms (in the alert and evacuation control systems) are shown in the table:

The distance between two adjacent light pointers along the evacuation path should not exceed the value of the recognition distance of the signs used. At the same time, according to SP 3.13130.2009 (paragraph 5.4), in corridors, more than 50 meters long, this distance should not exceed 25 meters.

Nutrition of light pointers in normal mode should be made from a source that is not dependent on the power source of the working light; In emergency mode, switch to power from the third independent source, for example, a battery built into the lamp.

The duration of the light pointers should be at least 1 hour and correspond to the estimated time of evacuation.

Note: For buildings with the absence of small groups of the population, high-rise buildings and hotels, the duration of emergency lighting and light pointers from 3 to 8 hours may be required.

Also in paragraph 6.4.5 of the CP Rules 113.1330.2012 of the "Parking of the Car" indicated:

Ways of movement of cars inside car parks must be equipped with guidelines by pointers.

Luminaires indicating the direction of movement are set at turns, in places where the slopes, on the ramps, entry into floors, inputs and outputs on the floors and in stair cells.

Movement direction pointers are installed at a height of 2 and 0.5 m from the floor within the limits of direct visibility from any point on the evacuation and travel paths for cars.

The light pointers of the installation locations of the connecting heads for fire equipment, the locations of fire cranes and fire extinguishers should be turned on automatically when the fire automation systems are triggered.

IV. Emergency Lighting Requirements

In GOST R 50571.5.56-2013, emergency lighting requirements are prescribed.

According to clause 560.9.5 of this document:

• In non-permanent operation mode, power supply for conventional lighting must be controlled in the final chain for this zone. If the power loss leads to the termination of the work of the usual light in this area, the emergency lighting should be automatically activated. Appropriate measures should be provided to ensure that emergency lighting will work in the event of a power loss in the corresponding local zone.

The implementation scheme of this requirement in practice depends on the emergency lighting system and the functionality of the equipment used, however, the general element of such schemas will be the BS-RKF module (phase control relays):

Paragraph 560.9.6:

• If a constant mode is used and a non-permanent effect mode in combination, each inclusion device must have its own control device and must be able to turn on separately.

Schemes for implementing this requirement using individual controlled centralized power supply luminaires, as well as connected by the loop of controlled and unmanaged centralized power supply luminaires (total load - no more than 500 W):

Also in paragraph 560.9.8 and 560.9.10 GOST R 50571.5.56-2013 indicated:

• Management Systems and Local Safety Lighting Systems must be independent of management and local networks for general lighting; Communication of both systems can only carry out devices that guarantee separation / insulation of both tires from each other. Refusal in management systems and local general lighting networks should not affect the performance of safety lighting functions.
• If normal power is restored in the distribution cabinet or in the power circuit, the emergency lighting in non-permanent mode must automatically turn off. The time required for a set of normal brightness with lamps of conventional lighting should be taken into account. In rooms that were deliberately darkened before the power was lost, emergency lighting should not be turned off automatically.

To execute the last requirement:

• in the autonomous emergency lighting system, a time delay relay in emergency lighting panels (scho) should be provided on non-constant groups of emergency lights or autonomous emergency lighting lamps should be applied to the switching delay function to the operating mode from the emergency;
• the source of independent power supply of the central and group emergency lighting system must have a function of delaying the time off the emergency mode of non-permanent groups after restoring the operation of the working light (implemented in CAU BS-Electro);
• for premises that were pre-darkened (theaters, circus, cinemas, etc. during the presentation), emergency lighting control panels (BS-PUAO) should be applied to manually turn off the emergency mode.

In addition, according to the rules of fire regime in the Russian Federation (p. 349), the equipment of the warehouses at the end of the working day should be de-energized. In this regard, for the normal operation of the autonomous emergency lighting system in warehouses, it is necessary to use a remote control and control device (Telecontrol), which allows you to translate emergency lights from the emergency mode to the remote delay mode after de-energizing the warehouse equipment.

V. Requirements for emergency lighting equipment

In addition to the requirements directly to the emergency lighting system, there are a number of specific requirements for the elements of this system: emergency lighting lamps, light pointers, safety signs, battery installations.

V.1. Requirements for emergency lighting luminaires.

The main requirements for emergency lighting luminaires are formulated in federal laws No. 123-FZ and No. 384-FZ, GOSTEC 60598-2-22-2012, SP52.13330.2011 (SNiP 23-05-95 *):

1. The ability to verify performance.

In the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of July 22, 2008 No. 123-FZ (Article 82, Part 9) indicates the mandatory requirement for autonomous emergency lighting lamps:

• Emergency lighting lamps on evacuation paths with autonomous power sources should be provided with devices for checking their performance when simulating the disconnection of the main power source.

At the same time, according to GOST IEC 60598-2-22-2012 (clause 22.20), the test device must simulate the failure of the working network, without affecting the normal operation of the lamp.

Checking performance can be carried out both using the test "test" buttons included in the design of the lamps and when using remote testing devices (Telecontrol). And in the other case, the requirements of the absence of impact on the normal operation of autonomous lamps (including the battery charge) is observed.

2. The ability to turn on the automatic fire alarm signal.

In a number of regulatory documents, including federal laws No. 123-FZ, No. 384-FZ, SP5.13130.2009 and SP113.13330.2012, the emergency lighting system is in relationship with the APS system.

Thus, depending on the emergency lighting system, various solutions must be applied at the facility:

1. For ACAO - electronics of autonomous emergency lighting lamps should be able to connect to the fire automation system, when receiving the corresponding signal from which lamps running in non-permanent mode should be turned on (go to emergency operation).
2. For CSAAO and GSAO - in the project solution, the possibility of incorporating non-permanent groups of lamps from the fire automation signal should be laid.

3. Requirements for construction.

Requirements for the design of the emergency luminaire case, circuitry solutions of emergency power blocks, electrical insulation, etc. fully described in clauses 22.6-22.20 GOST IEC60598-2-22-2012.

Separately, it is possible to note the distinctive feature of emergency lamps from operating lighting lamps - the test of the housing to heat resistance is carried out at a temperature of 850 ° C.

4. Requirements for light sources.

The set of rules SP52.13330.2011 (SNiP 23-05-95 *) allows for the use of the following types of light sources as emergency:

• lED light sources;
• fluorescent lamps - indoors with a minimum air temperature of at least 5 ° C and, provided the lamps in all modes of voltage not lower than 90% of the nominal;
• high pressure discharge lamps under the condition of their instant or rapid re-ignition, both in the hot state after short-term disconnection and cold condition;
• incandescent lamps - if it is impossible to use other light sources.

Requirement for all types of evacuation lighting: The general color rendition index of used light sources Ra should be at least 40.

V.2. Requirements for light pointers

Light signs (as one of the types of emergency lamp) include all the requirements listed in Section IV.1, and a number of private requirements.

All requirements GOST R 12.4.026-2001 "Colors of signaling, safety signs and markup" are applicable to a light pointer with safety signs (icons) ", i.e.

• the background of the escape safety sign should be green, graphic symbols and explanatory inscriptions - white; The main colors of the fire safety sign - red and white.
• On the perimeter of the sign, a white color can be applied with a width of at least 0.025 sign height.
• The ratio of the parties of fire safety signs, evacuation safety signs and health and sanitary safety signs, taking into account the White Cant, should be strictly: 2: 1 - for rectangular safety signs, 1: 1 - for square safety signs.

According to SP52.13330.2011 (SNiP 23-05-95 *), the brightness of the light pointer in emergency mode anywhere in the security zone of the corresponding sign should not be below 10 kD / m 2 or 2 kD / m 2, if smoke (in case of fire) Not considered as a danger factor.

GOST R 55842-2013 specified requirements for uniform distribution of brightness of safety signs of light pointers:

• The uniformity of the distribution of brightness within the color surface of the safety sign is determined by the ratio of the minimum brightness to maximum within the surface of the sign, which must be at least 1: 5.
• For the safety sign of the brightness of more than 100 cd / m2, the minimum brightness value to the maximum value within the color surface of the sign should be at least 1:10.
• The ratio of the brightness of the contrasting color to the brightness of the security color must be at least 5: 1 and no more than 15: 1.

The recognition distance for light pointers depends on the height of the sign and is determined by the formula specified in Section II, paragraph 16.

V.3. Requirements for light fire faders

Requirements for light fire alarms are described in the joint venture 3.13130.2009 Code of Rules of the "Fire Protection Systems. The system of alert and management of people's evacuation during fires. Fire safety requirements »and GOST R 53325-2012" Fireman technique. Fire automation technical means.
