Case study
Stairwells
In stairwells, the MXC substation solution with LTC equipped luminaires offers great benefits in cable saving and
installation costs. The MXC substation(s) can be mounted in risers at the foot of each stairwell, removing the need
for data cable or remote boxes in the stairwell itself. The maintained exit signs, switched luminaires, and even any
non-maintained external units can all share a single supply cable. Monitoring feeds can all come to a single point at
the substation, simplifying the cabling within the stairwell. Conversely, if it is inconvenient or impossible to wire a
switched or monitoring feed back to the substation, it can be wired directly into the relevant luminaire.
Upper floors
Upper floors with a larger number of rooms per area (for example offices or hotel rooms), will also use MXC in order
to take advantage of the large number of switched feeds that can be monitored by each substation. Coupled with
the option to wire monitoring feeds directly into the luminaires, this will offer great savings in cable and simplify the
installation, whilst retaining flexibility of programming should the mode of operation of the luminaire change.
EMEX Test can accommodate this scenario – and more – whether the system is one large Central Power Supply
System (CPS) feeding the whole building, one smaller CPS per floor, or any combination thereof.
