1.3.1

System Features

The Lux Intelligent system provides real-time monitoring and automatic testing of emergency lighting. It is designed to satisfy the requirements of BS5266 part 1 and prEN50172 standards for emergency lighting systems. Each Lux Intelligent control panel supports maintained, non-maintained and slave luminaires in either selfcontained central battery or static inverter systems. The control panel electronics are housed in a high quality steel enclosure with sealed front label protecting the control keys, LED Indicators and liquid crystal display. The graphic display is backlit to improve visibility in poor ambient light conditions. The system is modular in construction. For small systems, a single line driver is used to connect up to 249 Pulse Line Unit (PLU) addressable luminaires or I/O modules over a 2-core cable. Each line driver takes the form of a small, plug-in circuit card and each panel can control up to 4 line drivers. Further expansion is easily achieved by networking up to 200 Lux Intelligent panels. The installation may be divided up into a maximum of 200 Zones (1000 Zones when networked) to correspond with the building fire zones, with each luminaire capable of being identified by its zone description and individual location description. In addition, the installation may be divided up into 50 Test Groups, per panel, for automatic or manual testing, thereby permitting the testing of alternate luminaires within a zone. A User-friendly, menu driven software is used to assist in commissioning systems and for general operation of the panel. Once luminaires are connected to the panel, a simple ‘Learn’ procedure is run to quickly identify the quantity and types connected on each line. Automatic testing can be carried out at any time of day or night. Flexible programming allows the time, date and duration of test for multiple groups of lights to be quickly specified, with up to 400 unique time / date / periods per year. The panels can be fully on site programmed using the front panel alphanumeric keypad. Alternatively, the panel programming may be configured from a PC via the isolated RS232 serial port. Alternatively, the data can be transferred to a database on a central PC for subsequent analysis, listing and printing. Remote monitoring is also possible via an internal modem option or using a serial to Ethernet converter. Software running on a remote PC can be set to periodically dial into each panel and check for any faults. Again proof of all tests carried out on each luminaire, showing the time, date and duration of each test can be automatically printed from the PC. An internal (or external) printer can be fitted to print the test results, etc. where the PC logging system is not required.

2.3 Wiring Installation All electrical wiring installation work should be carried out in accordance with the code of practice or applicable national standards appropriate to the country of installation. To maintain electrical integrity of the SELV wiring on the input, output, loop and communications lines all SELV wiring should be segregated from the LV mains wiring and be wired using cable with insulation suitable for the application. To minimise the effects of EMC interference all data wiring circuits should be wired with a twisted pair of conductors with a cross sectional area suitable for the loading conditions. In areas where cabling may come into contact with high frequency interference, such as portable radio transceivers etc. the data wiring cable should be of a twisted pair construction within an overall screen. Care should be taken to correctly terminate this screen, refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for further information for each circuit type. NB:

Minimum / Maximum cable size for all external connections is limited to 0.5mm² / 2.5mm² (22-14AWG).

2.3.1

AC Mains Wiring

Route the high voltage mains AC wiring into the enclosure at the upper left corner only. Keep the AC wiring away from the circuit boards and all other wiring.

Must be earthed

The panel must be connected to the supply earth through the power cable.

Connect the Control Panel to the mains supply via a readily accessible disconnect-device (Isolation Switch) and suitable earth fault protection incorporated in the building installation wiring. The Mains cable should be 0.75mm2 cable rated at 250V and fused via a 5A anti-surge fuse.

The mains input connector is shown in the diagram opposite. Note the positions of the earth, neutral and live terminal connections. These are clearly marked on the label next to the connector. The connector block contains an integral fuse holder.

Signalling Line Installation

2.3.3.1 General Considerations The Line Driver Module, shown opposite, provides power and signalling pulses for the digital communications with the luminaires. Up to four Line Drivers can be installed in the panel. Refer to Section 2.2.6 for details of how to install additional line drivers. Route the signalling circuit away from other electrical cables to minimise the effect of electrical interference. It is recommended that a 2-Core Twisted-Pair cable be used. In extremely noisy conditions, the use of a cable with external screen is recommended. Refer to Appendix 2 – Recommended Cables for further information on cable types to be used.

IN –

IN +

OUT +

The outputs of the Line Driver Module are short circuit protected. The wiring can be connected in Radial Format or as a Loop Circuit (Preferred Method).

OUT –

When screened cable is used, it is vital to connect the screen / drain wire to the chassis / earth at the cable gland input / earth stud in the panel. Always ensure that all segments of the cable loop have continuity of the screen and take care to ensure that the screen is not exposed to any other earth point (e.g. metalwork, cable trays, junction boxes, etc.).

For ease of maintenance and connection, the wiring is terminated in a plug and socket arrangement, shown opposite. The signalling circuit consists of a pair of wires (+ and –). Four terminals are provided to enable loop operation. Base Card Terminations (Typical).

2.3.3.2 Radial Wiring Format Line Out

To wire the signalling circuit as a Radial Line, connect one wire of the 2Core cable to one of the (+) terminals and connect the other wire to one of the (–) terminals.

+ -

Route the cable to each of the luminaires in turn. Connect Jumper Wires between OUT+ / IN+ and OUT– / IN–.

Connect the wiring to the terminal blocks in the Luminaire. The connections on the Pulse Line Unit are not polarity specific. However, it is recommended that terminals (B) are used for the (+) signal line and terminals (A) are used for the (–) signal line.

IN –

IN +

OUT –

The cable length depends on the line loading, cable core diameter – Refer to Appendix 2 – Recommended Cables for a list of recommended cables and distances.

OUT +
