Central battery emergency modules, often called slave modules, are devices designed for central, large-scale backup power, powering emergency lighting (slave luminaires) from a single, central bank of batteries during power failures. These modules allow for easier maintenance, longer battery life (compared to self-contained units), and are ideal for high-access, high-rise, or commercial buildings like hospitals and warehouses.

Key Components & Operation

Central Unit: A main panel (static inverter) houses the batteries, chargers, and automatic transfer switches to manage the system.

Slave Modules (Luminaires): These units do not contain their own batteries, relying solely on the central source for power.

System Voltages: Commonly operate on 24V, 50V, 110V, or 230V AC/DC.

Operation: In a mains failure, the system instantly switches to DC battery power to operate emergency lighting, typically for 1 to 3 hours.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Maintenance: Batteries are located in one accessible, temperature-controlled, location, making testing and replacement easier than checking individual, self-contained units.

Lifespan: Central batteries often last longer than individual batteries because they are not subjected to the high temperatures inside emergency light fittings.

Costs: Lower per-unit maintenance cost, but higher initial installation costs compared to self-contained systems.

Reliability: Provides a single, robust point of failure for easier monitoring, though this means the entire system depends on the central unit working.

Applications

Central battery systems are frequently used in:

• Large commercial and public buildings (hospitals, cinemas).
• Industrial, difficult-to-access locations.
• High-risk areas where quick, centralized testing is necessary.

Types of Systems

AC/AC Systems: Provide 230V AC to luminaires in both normal and emergency modes.
AC/DC Systems: Use a transformer for normal operation and switch directly to DC battery power during a failure.

Components

Relay Boxes: Manage the switching of circuits between normal and emergency power.

Monitoring: Often integrated with DALI systems for automated, real-time reporting of luminaire performance.

Since being established in 1982, Orbik Electronics Limited has always been at the forefront of innovation and design of emergency lighting & fi re detection equipment and is now one of the largest independent manufacturers of this type of equipment in the world.

Based at Aldridge in the West Midlands, our four-acre purpose built facility employs nearly 200 people engaged in the design and manufacture of emergency lighting and fi re detection equipment and is registered to and audited by BSI for their ISO9001/2008 quality system.

Throughout their long history, Orbik has been an enthusiastic supporter of improving quality standards within the industry and today has over 300 products approved by BSI, proudly carrying the Kite Mark symbol, indicating our continuing compliance for quality, safety and performance.
