EMEX Test detailed specification
Appendix | EMEX Test detailed specification
General
The system should use EMEX Technology to provide
full addressable monitoring of the complete
emergency lighting system including the EMEX Power
Central Power Supply System(s).
The system must be capable of monitoring fluorescent,
cold cathode fluorescent, filament, LED, or halogen
luminaires.
Software
System should use EMEX Test software to schedule
the automatic regular testing of emergency lighting
system components. The system should automatically
generate and collate test reports. These reports
should be automatically date-stamped and should be
available in a notepad format such that engineer’s
notes can be added.
Remote access
Software and test reports must be accessible remotely
via a LAN or internet connection. The system must be
capable of exporting data to a BMS in LONWORKS or
BACNET format.
CPS capacity
The system should support up to 255 Central Power
Supply Systems (CPS). Each CPS must be able to
communicate with up to 4,000 luminaires.
Communication
The system must use data cable to link the control
computer to the CPS unit(s), and from each CPS to the
associated luminaire interfaces only. Data cable must
NOT be required direct to any luminaires.
Up to 100 substations may be fed from the internal
transmitter within the CPS. Additional MXT data
repeaters are available to situations where more than
100 substations are required (see page 22).
MXD4 substation
The system must offer remote MXD4 substations
having 4 separate outputs, each capable of monitoring
up to 4 no. fluorescent, filament, LED, or halogen
luminaires completely without modification to the
luminaire. The systems should be capable of monitoring
a lamp wattage of up to 230 watts. The substation
should provide minimum 8 no. monitoring inputs, free
programmable switched or unswitched with mixed
mode of operation (maintained, non-maintained,
switched maintained).
MXC substation
The system must offer remote MXC substations each
having 2 outputs, which are capable of monitoring up
to 40 no. luminaires / 10 amps in total. The substation
should provide minimum 8 no. monitoring inputs, free
programmable switched or unswitched. Luminaires
must share the same supply cable with mixed mode
of operation (maintained, non-maintained, switched
maintained).
LTC luminaire module
Luminaires for use with MXC each require a local LTC
module. Each LTC must provide 1 no. switched and 1
no. unswitched local monitoring input to act directly
on the luminaire in addition to any communication
received from the substation. A full range of exit
signs, bulkhead luminaires, decorative luminaires, and
twinspot units must be available ready fitted with
LTC modules. LTC modules must also be available
loose and in remote enclosures for the adaptation of
standard slave 230V luminaires to the MXC system.
Each LTC must be capable of switching up to
230 watts. The LTC module must retain the existing
mains ballast in the luminaire.
Flexibility
The system must permit both MXD4 and MXC
solutions on the same system, controlled from a
single PC.
Test input nodes
The system must offer test input nodes which
allow the engineer to access test reports and control
the system using a laptop PC, from any point on the
data cable.
Cable specification
Cable must be 2 core with additional earth or drain
wire and must be a composite screened cable. The
conductor cross section must be a minimum of 1mm 2
and must be rated for 230V AC. General data cables
do not meet this requirement.
These requirements can be met by using FP200 or
similar fireproof cable or LSFOH type cable.
