The safety of our colleagues and the general public is paramount and above all other things in terms of focus for investment.
Wherever we go you will find emergency lighting systems installed, life-safety lifts, emergency access roller-shutter doors, smoke extraction units and much more all designed to save lives and prevent disaster. Predictably, as with most important devices in modern society, these critical, life-preserving products are ineffective without electrical power. When mains power fails, emergency power supplies are required to provide functionality. Often referred to as secondary power supplies or tertiary power supplies, emergency UPS systems can be installed to meet this requirement.

With life-critical protection in mind, a minimum of 3 hours end-of-life battery time is required to meet the due diligence and standards. In many applications, UPS over-sizing may be required to handle inrush/start-up currents, avoiding overloads when motors and other devices begin service.

Emergency lighting systems do not need a UPS system specifically to protect them. Often, Central Supply Systems or Inverter Systems are utilised, as they can also meet the standards outlined in the BS EN 50171 legislation. Modified UPS systems are required to meet the standards, standard commercial UPS will not. Changes such as a larger charger to reach suitable battery recharge times, battery temperature compensation probes, 10-year design life batteries with the aforementioned, end-of-life battery runtime sizing, etc. Ensuring your emergency lighting UPS system meets the required standards is extremely important, not just from a financial perspective, but more importantly, that people are safe in your building/premises.
