Emergency lighting inverters are essential devices that provide backup power to lighting systems during power outages, ensuring safety and compliance with life safety codes.
Simplify NFPA 101 compliance and lower maintenance costs by using our centralized emergency lighting inverters!
With NFPA standards reflecting automatic testing of life safety systems and computer-based reporting of test results, our centralized
Emergency Lighting Inverters are being used more now than ever before! All our standard 90 minute inverters are listed as UL 924
“Emergency Lighting Equipment”, and are NFPA 101 compliant. Each inverter model is easy to install, and many boast of an industry-
leading small cabinet footprint!
Note: Physically smaller than
comparable three phase inverters,
without compromising
performance or serviceability.
Optional seismic-rated
models available.
• Computer-based, self-testing / self-diagnostic emergency
lighting system with data-logging and reporting (NFPA 101,
7.9.3.1.3).
• 90 minutes runtime requires only (1) battery cabinet up to
33 kW, and only (2) battery cabinets for 40 kW – 55 kW.
• Online double conversion, no break technology —
compatible with all lighting fixture types including LED.
• Automatic static bypass.
• Secure, internal make-before-break inverter bypass switch.
• Distribution: Up to 36 pole positions (or 24 poles if monitored
CB’s) on models up to 33 kW. Up to (4) 3-pole CB’s on models
40 kW – 55 kW.
Note: Physically smaller than comparable three phase inverters, without compromising performance or serviceability. Optional seismic-rated
models available.
Advanced Digital Monitoring: The Intellistat TSTM
• Color, high-resolution touchscreen monitor displays inverter
parameters, status, and alarms — standard on the EON and ELE,
and optional on the FST and ELU models (see pages 2 and 3 for
FST and ELU details).
• Provides complete system diagnostics and testing, including
all NFPA-compliant automatic battery testing, reports, and
data-logging.
• Performs “egress lighting integrity test”. (See sidebar.)
LED Fixture / Driver
Compatibility
Whether fed from the AC power
source or even while in battery
mode, our inverters have a high
peak overload capability to
accommodate the inrush current
from LED fixtures / drivers!
Automatic Testing /
Logging / Reporting
The EON, FastLITE, UltraLITE, and
eLITE ELE models automatically
perform NFPA-mandated periodic
and annual tests — logging the
results with a time and date stamp,
and a “pass” or “fail” indication.
Remote Communications
Remote monitoring of inverter
status, alarms, electrical
measurements, and test results
are available via:
BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP
(excluding TrueLITE), Ethernet
TCP/IP, MODBUS TCP, or
MODBUS RS 485.
Egress Lighting Integrity Test
During NFPA-mandated test
periods, inverters with the Intellistat
(TS or standard) monitoring:
• Automatically initiate the testing
of all life safety circuits.
• Compare power consumption
during the test period with
user-defined load capacity.
• Analyze the data, and advise
if service is required.
Note: EON, FastLITE, and UltraLITE
ELU models allow for automatic
bypassing of local control devices
during NFPA-mandated testing.
Full compliance with NFPA 101 as a computer-based, self-testing / self-diagnostic
emergency lighting system with data-logging.
• Online double conversion technology offering 4 different field-selectable modes of
operation: On-Line, Standby-On (ECO Mode), Smart Active, and Standby-Off.
Mode selection based on input power conditions, lighting design, and the desire
for high operating efficiency.
• Incorporates galvanic isolation and a robust design with a high overload capacity
to deliver reliable emergency power for critical life safety loads.
• Battery care system includes a range of features designed to prolong battery life
and reduce usage. Features include deep discharge protection, current limitation,
and voltage compensation based on ambient temperature.
• Operates in ECO-mode / Smart Active mode to provide an efficiency rating of up
to 98.5%.
• Optional remote monitoring and reporting via Ethernet TCP/IP, BACnet/IP, MODBUS
TCP/IP, or MODBUS RS485.
• Optional wall mounted maintenance bypass; three breaker design (thermal magnetic or adjustable electronic trip) available in 14K, 35K, or 65K AIC ratings, with
Kirk Key interlock system and SKRU (solenoid key release unit).
TrueLITE Model ELS — Standard Monitor & Display
• Wide graphic LCD display provides a close-up, detailed overview of the inverter status
in real-time.
• Display features an operational diagram, status and alarm messaging, main operating
values, and easy pushbutton navigation.
• LED’s indicate main input power present, bypass input power present, output normal,
on battery, on bypass, and alarm condition.
• Automatic battery testing; results logged with time and date stamp, and a pass or fail
indication. Failed battery tests result in an audible and visual alarm.
