Primian-2^™ SmartStart^™ Modules with optional AutoTest AT4 including DALI and Potential Free

Primian-2™ SmartStart™ Modules

The Mackwell SmartStart™ feature is built into the Primian-2™ range of emergency lighting modules, and provides improved starting from low power batteries, immediate lamp strike with cathode heating for 30 seconds to minimise lamp damage, and cooler module operation.

Primian-2™ modules operate a wide range of 4 pin fluorescent lamps and each module is fitted with a lamp optimisation link to ensure the best output and duration across the lamp range. The 5th pole ensures satisfactory re-starting of "cut-off" ballasts after emergency lighting test or function. The Primian-2™ modules are also fitted with a link to select 3 hour or 1 hour duration, with appropriate batteries. (Not including AutoTest, which are supplied for 1 hour or 3 hour duration) 

Primian-2™ SmartStart™ 5 pole modules are as follows:

All versions are fitted with five pole relays to switch all four lamp connections from ballast to inverter, and to switch off the power to the ballast during emergency lighting test. The modules can therefore be safely connected into a circuit containing an electronic HF ballast, and will provide total isolation to the control gear; especially useful in satisfying EMC test requirements.

Switch Mode Power Supply:

Mackwell Switch Mode Power Supplies are designed to comply with the relevant parts BS EN 61558.

Leads supplied with indicator

1 x 0.6mm High temperature LSF, orange and pink.
Various lead lengths available upon request.

Indicator

The LED indicator is illuminated when a charge is flowing to the cells. Flexible orange and pink leads connect the indicator to the module. The indicator requires an 8mm hole. The indicator supplied with AT4 modules are bi-coloured red and green, with red and green wires.

Voltage Sensing Circuit

The AC power supply is sensed so that switching occurs at between 60% and 85% of the nominal mains as required by BS EN 60598-2-22.

Deep Discharge Protection

All Modules are fitted with deep discharge protection (DDP) as standard. 

During installation it is common for the mains to be connected and then disconnected several times: the DDP will prevent any damage to the cells under these circumstances.

Connections

Connections are made to the modules by push wire terminals with push-to-release points, which will accept 0.5mm² to 1.5 mm² solid or stranded conductors, using the push-to-release points to insert stranded conductors. Battery conductors may be shortened at the module end, taking care to observe polarity, as REVERSING POLARITY WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
