Emergency lighting

Preparing luminaires

To perform emergency lighting calculation, the emergency luminaires must be configured correctly.

• If the room consists of luminaire group(s) and/or tubes and some of these are to be used for emergency lighting, you have to split these first.
  Select the luminaire group, and choose "Split group" from the context menu.

• If the emergency luminaries are of a specific type you have to insert some of these first.

Open

Configure emergency lighting

Press the emergency button on the left toolbar. The editor toolbars and buttons will be changed to emergency mode.

While the emergency mode is active, only changes to the emergency luminaires and working planes are allowed.
Next, activate a luminaire that is suitable for emergency light by clicking at it.

From the object properties menu, check the Emg.light checkbox:

Open

The luminaire property sheet will be expanded, and a set of emergency properties will be shown:

• Select Bus and Duration from the drop-down lists. The Emg% value which will be provided by the luminaire will be shown to the right.

• Select Emergency light type: Route lighting, Exit/Direction sign lighting or Integrated LED.
  Note: Only Route lighting and Integrated LED will be used in Emergency light calculation.

• Repeat this operation for all the desired emergency luminaires.
  The last emergency luminaire settings will be remembered when activating for the next luminaires.

Perform emergency calculation

When you are done configuring all the emergency luminaires, perform lighting calculation (e.g from the bottom menu button):

Route lighting has now been calculated!

By clicking the emergency light button you can switch between normal and emergency calculation.

The normal calculation result will not be affected by changes done to the emergency properties.

Some notes about emergency calculation results:

• Both calculations will be printed on reports, separated into different section.

• Assembly lists will perform a separate count for standard luminaries and luminaries with integrated emergency lights.

• Luminaire type, number, bus type and battery duration will be shown in the report.

• If you wish to use your own symbol as route lighting symbol in CAD, this can be achieved via CAD Setup.

• If the room geometry was imported from a CAD drawing, both luminaries and ISOLux-curves for normal and emergency lighting will be exported to the same drawing.
  All luminaire documentation can easily be saved systematically organized to the CAD drawing.
  Hyperlinks from the luminaries to the Glamox Online Product catalog can be placed in the drawing.
