TRANSCRIPT
When an incident occurs and power is lost, emergency lighting helps to guide people safely and calmly from the building while enabling the emergency services to do their work
In a modern building environment, light is taken for granted. People trust it as they go about their lives. It promotes comfort, security and efficiency.
�
Emergency lighting testing – Integrated safety provides comfort of use, security and efficiency
Normal Use
The lighting scheme with integrated emergency luminaires is designed for optimal performance, efficiency and comfort. The emergency luminaire versions blend into the overall scene.
Thorn Explorer technology brings intelligence to the emergency lighting system and enables owners and operators to ensure that their emergency lighting system is fully tested and ready to operate at optimum performance.
A comprehensive, integrated emergency lighting package, Explorer, provides the peace of mind and full confidence of regulatory compliance. This fully automatic, economic testing system will satisfy the needs of the most demanding of authorities and produce comprehensive documentation, at the ‘touch of a button’.
PEC Explorer reflects Thorn’s intentions to deliver ‘Performance’, ‘Efficiency’ and ‘Comfort’ (PEC) in all of its products. The PEC programme concentrates on delivering ‘quality’ in a lighting installation.
Performance: The emergency luminaires in the system provide emergency lighting and signage in accordance with EN18�8
Efficiency: The system automatically tests the luminaires in accordance with EN620�4
Comfort: Peace of mind that no manual testing is required and that the test records are automatically stored for two years. Luminaires are automatically identified when repair is required.

SelfTestMany challenges – which option is best?
Automated and cost effective testing of Emergency Lighting: Explorer SelfTest, Explorer Project and Explorer Vision
Just like fire protection systems, emergency lighting is potentially life saving but worthless and hazardous if the equipment is not properly maintained. As a consequence there are increasingly stringent legal requirements to regularly inspect, test and maintain emergency lighting in workplaces or public buildings.
Explorer, the Thorn Lighting Emergency Test product range, provides automated testing of emergency luminaires that is fully compliant with European Standards. This offers complete peace of mind and safety without the need for costly and time-consuming manual testing by a competent person, which is required for the most basic of conventional self-contained emergency luminaires.
Your emergency lighting needs to be regularly tested to check that it is working properly (and to conform with the requirements of the regulations). A functional test (where the luminaire changes over to emergency operation) must be performed every month. A full duration test is required annually, to confirm that the battery has sufficient energy to operate the luminaire in the emergency mode for � hours.
The Explorer testing system automatically checks functional testing weekly and duration testing annually, in accordance with the requirements of EN620�4.
Explorer has been designed with three options to suit varying requirements and budgets. Consult the quick comparison table below to help decide which option is best for you.
Summary of benefits• Cost effective compliance
with emergency lighting testing regulations
• Explorer SelfTest performs the testing automatically for you – only requiring you to walk around the building once per month and record that all is ok (or any failures)
• Explorer Project and Vision performs all of the testing and records the results

A bi-colour LED (red and green) on the luminaire indicates status as it monitors and automatically tests its emergency functions at intervals compliant with legislation. Easy to install and requiring no additional cabling, SelfTest provides simple and reliable standalone automatic testing, eliminating the need for costly manual testing by a competent person.
• Self testing in accordance with EN620�4
• Faster than average recharge time: 10-15 hours
• � hours operation, this gives you the ability to re-enter the building after an evacuation
• Bi-colour LED (red and green) to provide clear status indication
• Boost starting technology gives higher lumen output during most critical switchover phase to ensure greater visibility of potential danger
• AC operation of lamps to prevent lamp end blackening. The visual benefit is that the lamps look like new and the luminaire continues to look attractive.

Explorer Project – up to 256 emergency luminaires Simple to operate and configure
Expanding the Explorer Project to work with more than 128 emergency luminaires
In this configuration, channel ‘B’ becomes a ‘signaling bus’ and is used for communication to the XPX64 extender modules. There must be no emergency luminaires directly connected to this channel in this mode.
This helps with the wiring planning as there can be up to �00m of cable between the XP128 controller and the XPX64. The maximum distance from the XPX64 to the furthest luminaire is another �00m. If this still causes planning difficulties, there is a kit to extend the distances a further �00m (XP�00m+)
If you still need more capacity see Explorer Vision, for up to 5000 luminaires!

The diagram below shows the luminaires connected in a string. This is often an easy method of installation, but you soon reach the �00m maximum for the data cables.
Use a ‘star connection’ or make a branch off from the main run to achieve the cable run to your furthest luminaire within the cable limit. Optional isolators break these runs into easily managed segments (of 20 luminaires) to speed up commissioning.
Explorer Project uses eDALI and DALI signalling on the bus, which means that it works with all Thorn addressable emergency luminaires and other DALI compatible emergency luminaires.
Typical installation for up to 256 luminaires

Explorer VisionUp to 500 luminaires
For up to 500 emergency luminaires, choose the Explorer Vision XV500.
This computer operates monitoring software, that ‘talks’ to the XP128 controllers over a standard computer network cable (up to 100m) to the Nport2 interface. This interface converts the signals from ‘TCP-IP’ to RS232 so that the XP128 controller can understand them. The screen (not provided) shows the status of the emergency luminaires.
If you need a longer distance between the XV500 and the Explorer Project XP128 controllers, use your computer network to perform the connections – see configuration diagram overleaf. You would connect the XV500 in place of the XV5000. Now you can monitor the XV500 from another computer on your local area network (using the software provided). Note: if your building layout needs you to have more than 1m between the XP128 controllers just use an extra Nport2 – see diagram overleaf.
Summary of benefits• Medium system
• Up to 500 emergency luminaires
• Direct connection up to 100m
• Can connect XV500 to your computer network and monitor it from another of your own network computers

Explorer Vision – How it works
Monitoring your emergency lighting system
1. Explorer Vision links XP128 controllers together and monitors the status of the emergency luminaires.
2. It is easy to navigate around the installation. Each Explorer Project XP128 is shown along with its four groups (of up to 64 luminaires) e.g. Main building ground floor, west wing. Just click onto an area to get to the luminaires you want to access.
3. Click on the luminaire to get its details.
4. Click on the group and the luminaires are displayed.
5. Faults are indicated by the red luminaire and details are displayed. You can easily monitor the Explorer Vision computer, from another computer connected to the network using the software provided on the disc. Note, the software licence only permits one user, so if the computer is being accessed locally e.g. for maintenance purposes, it is not possible to operate it from a remote station, until the local work has been completed. All functions that are available on the Explorer Project controller XP128 can be accessed from the Explorer Vision computer. It operates like a ‘virtual touch screen’.
6. Here the testing regime for the XP128 is being programmed from the Explorer Vision controller.
Summary of benefits• Checks your emergency
lighting remotely
• All Explorer Project functions can be accessed using the keyboard of the XV500/XV5000/XV5000D
• See your emergency lighting networked system from one screen
