Emergency Control Gear - Standard Range

TLX Range
Standard emergency control unit for fluorescent lamps
The TLX range of emergency control units cover all axial fluorescent lamps as well as four pin compact types from 6 to 65 Watts. The following versions provide an emergency lighting duration of either one or three hours:














The units comply with BS EN 60598-2-22, BS EN 60924 and SABS 1464: Part 22. Either maintained or non-maintained mode can be used. A safety start circuit is provided that prevents emergency operation until mains is connected. This enables installation without disconnecting or depleting the batteries. A red light indicates that the batteries are being charged. The unit is housed in a high quality glass sphere reinforced polyamide polymer. This material has excellent high heat resistance and impact strength properties. The emergency light output is sufficient to satisfy most escape route and anti-panic area lighting requirements. The unit can be used with conventional switch start, electronic or dimming ballasts.

Note 1: The emergency lighting duration and light output may vary due to ambient temperature, cell type and lamp manufacturer.
Note 2: The unit may be provided for operation from 110Vac.

Units also available with a photocell option.
The standard TLX5/1hr/E/T emergency controller has been re-engineered into a low profile “Slim-Line” unit. The new configuration allows the unit to be easily housed in T5 bulkheads where its predecessor could not be accommodated but still retains all the features of its predecessor. The compact size of this controller is becoming increasingly important to customers who wish to use sleeker, low profile fixtures. The controller measures W=30mm x H = 30mm x L= 250mm

Although the TLX5/1/E/T-Slim controller is still capable of driving all linear fluorescent lamps as well as four pin compact types from 6 to 80 Watts the “Slim” version has specifically been designed to be accommodated in T5 low profile bulkheads and is also capable of driving T5 lamps from 8 to 54W.

The emergency light output is sufficient to satisfy most escape route and anti-panic area lighting requirements.

The unit can be used with conventional switch start, electronic or dimming ballasts.

The units comply with BS EN 60598-2-22, BS EN 60924 and SABS 1464: Part 22.

Either maintained or non-maintained mode can be used. A safety start circuit is provided that prevents emergency operation until mains is connected. This enables installation without disconnecting or depleting the batteries. A battery charge indicator is incorporated.

The unit is currently housed in an alu-zinc housing.

Poke-in wire trap connectors have been added to this design which greatly simplifies connection wiring.

A splice connector version is also available where automated wiring facilities are available.
