CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM: CBS
CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM: CBS
The CBS central power supply system is state-of-the-art, reliable and easy-to-operate central battery
system constructed in accordance with the requirements of VDE 0108 as well as PN-EN 50171 and
PN-EN 50172 standards.
The system is capable of monitoring circuits, luminaires and configuration in mixed layout.
The CBS unit is equipped with a controller to supervise the operation of the entire system and archive any
information on the occurred events and system condition. It has an intelligent charger to supervise the
entire battery charge process and automatically stop the process in the event when battery is damaged.
Depending on the type of facility, it is possible to connect substations to diversify the central battery
system functionalities, thus reducing the installation costs by shortening circuits with installed luminaires.
Damage to the central unit does not result in complete system failure, as substations take control of final
circuits and luminaires.
The SD card used in the system allows saving the periodic test results, event log and system configuration.
The above-mentioned information is stored in non-volatile memory of the controller.
• Modular system design – quick-assembly system
• Freely programmable mode of operation for each
circuit (monitoring of circuits)
• Freely programmable mode of operation for each
luminaire, regardless of the circuit
• Monitoring of each luminaire and circuits
• Ability to adjust the system to the layout of fire
zones
• Possible text description of each luminaire, circuit
and control
• 4 keys with freely programmable functions
• 4 keys with programmed functions
• With shorting of any conductor to the protective
one, the battery supply operation is possible by
use of separate AC and DC protections

Technology – SMART
Switching Method And Revision Technology
Conventional installation of systems requires determination
of the mode of operation for individual circuits as early
as in the design phase. Possible changes or errors may
generate additional costs. To eliminate the above-mentioned
inconveniences, AWEX has introduced a new fully automatic
technology to control every luminaire in the circuit:
Switching
Method
And
Revision
Technology
SMART is a technology which allows the installation
of luminaires operating in three modes: continuous,
non-continuous and switchable, within a single circuit.
Programming as well as control of luminaires takes place
through power supply cables, therefore no additional
communication cabling is required.
SMART functionality is possible if relevant ADS address
modules are used in luminaires.

M-SL control module
The control module is used to supervise and manage the operation of other modules included in the
central battery. The keyboard and LCD display in front panel allow the user to configure and operate the
whole system. System configuration may also be carried out using USB interface from PC with service
application. Front panel LEDs allow the operating state of the central battery to be evaluated quickly.
The module automatically supervises the following: mode of operation – mains/battery power supply,
battery charging, system voltage, condition of insulation, protection against deep discharge. Detection
of a failure or error is signalled at once and recorded in the event log. The occurrence of short-circuit
or break in communication cables results in automatic switch of all circuits into mains power supply.
In addition, the module allows automatic searching for and adding all the luminaires connected to the
system. The controller allows upgrading firmware of any internal system modules as well as address
modules.

System structure
Communication with ELS 230V external modules, substations with controller as well as substations with
HUB module (remote cabinets) is based on LonTalk communication protocol. 3 LonTalk interfaces are
implemented in the controller. The first one, LON1, is intended for communication between systems
with controller and supervision systems of BMS type. LON2 interface is intended for communication
with external sensor modules of ELS 230 type. Whereas LON3 is reserved for substations equipped with
HUB module.

STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Scope of application
The emergency lighting installations should be designed in any civil structures where the mains voltage
loss may result in a danger to the life or health of people, serious environmental risk as well as significant
material loss (Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 12 April 2002 – the Official Journal of Laws
no. 75 item 690 as amended, Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 12 March 2009 – the Official
Journal of Laws no. 56 item 461 as amended and Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 10
December 2010 – the Official Journal of Laws no. 239 item 1597).
By virtue of law, the evacuation lighting should be used in:
1. Rooms:
• cinemas, theatres and concert halls as well as other entertainment venues,
• auditoria, conference rooms, entertainment establishments and sports halls for more than 200
people,
• exhibition halls in museums,
• with area of more than 1 000 m² in garages illuminated with light only.
2. Escape routes:
• from rooms mentioned in item 1,
• illuminated with artificial light only,
• in hospitals and other buildings mainly intended for people with limited movement ability to stay in,
• in tall and high-rise public utility buildings and boarding houses.
3. In temporary buildings if intended for show purposes or other gatherings.
4. In rooms with pneumatic housing if to be used as temporary manufacturing and storage
buildings with fire load within the fire zone of up to 1000 MJ/m².
5. In temporary tent-like buildings intended for show purposes.
6. In dispatch rooms, technical rooms of gas compressor station (and within the premises of gas
compressor station).
28
Central Battery System: CBS
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Basic issues related to emergency lighting
Emergency lighting is provided for use when the normal mains power supply to the usual lighting
luminaires fails. For this reason, the luminaires for emergency lighting must be supplied from
independent source of power.
Emergency Lighting
Escape Lighting
Escape Route Lighting
Backup Lighting
Open Area Lighting
High-risk Area Lighting
Emergency lighting must comply with the requirements and parameters as described in PN-EN 1838 and
PN-EN 50 172.
The overall objective of emergency evacuation lighting is to ensure the safe exit from a location in the
event of failure of normal power supply. Due to the reduction in efficiency of lighting sources during
their operation, dirt on luminaires and other external factors it is recommended that illumination of
emergency lighting should be designed at no less than 1.25 of illumination provided for in standards.
For calculations of evacuation lighting illumination the direct illumination of surface without the light
reflected from floors, walls and ceilings should be adopted only.
To enable normal activities to be continued in a basic, unchanged manner, reserve lighting is designed.
If reserve lighting is used as the emergency evacuation lighting, the installation should meet the
requirements according to this standard and relevant standards related to products and cables. If
illumination with reserve lighting is lower than the minimum illumination level for the usual lighting, this
lighting should only be used to interrupt or complete activities.
29
Central Battery System: CBS
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Escape route lighting
The objective of escape route lighting is to enable the safe exit from a location where people stay by
allowing them to localise the fire fighting equipment.
For escape routes with width of up to 2m the
average illumination on floor in relation to the
escape route line should be no less than 1 lx,
while on the central strip of the route, covering no
less than half of the route width, the illumination
should be at least 50% of the value given above.
Wider escape routes may be treated as a few 2m
wide routes or should meet the requirements of
open zone.
The ratio of maximum illumination to minimum illumination along the central escape route should not
exceed 40 : 1.
Open area (anti-panic) lighting
The objective of open area (anti-panic) lighting is to reduce the likelihood of panic and to enable safe
movement of people towards escape routes by providing appropriate visual conditions allowing them
to reach a place from which the escape route is recognisable. It is recommended that the escape routes
or open zones should be illuminated with light falling directly on the working surface. The illumination of
obstacles at a height of up to 2m above this surface is recommended too.
This lighting is used in zones with undefined
escape routes in halls or premises larger than 60
m² floor area or smaller areas if there is additional
hazard caused by the presence of a large number
of people. Average illumination of evacuation
lighting in open zone should not be less than 0.5
lx on floor level, in undeveloped active field of the
open zone, except for 0.5m wide circumferential
strip isolated from this zone.
The ratio of maximum illumination to minimum illumination in open zone should not exceed 40 : 1.
High risk task areas
The objective of high risk task area lighting is to contribute to the safety of people involved in a potentially
dangerous process or situation and to enable proper completion of procedures to be carried out for the
safety of people staying in this zone. In high risk task areas, the operating illumination on a reference
surface should not be less than 10% of the operating illumination required for specific activities,
however it should be at least 15 lx. The stroboscopic effect need to be eliminated. The illumination
uniformity in high risk task area should not exceed 10:1. The minimum time of lighting operation should
be determined by period during which there is a hazard for people.
High risk task area lighting should ensure full required illumination in a continuous manner or within
0.5 s.
The luminance of each colourful part of the safety sign should be at least 2 cd/m² in any viewing directions
which are of importance to safety.

STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Arrangement of luminaires for evacuation lighting
To ensure appropriate visual conditions allowing safe evacuation, it is advisable that luminaires for
emergency lighting should be placed at least 2m over the floor.
To provide proper illumination, the luminaires for evacuation lighting should be sited near each exit
door and at positions where it is necessary to emphasize potential danger or safety equipment located
nearby. Thus, the luminaires for evacuation lighting should be mounted:
At every exit door intended as an
emergency exit
Near stairs so that every stair is
directly lit
Near every fire equipment and
alarm button
At every change of direction
Near every change of level
At each intersection of corridors
Outside and near every final exit
31
Near every point of first aid
Obligatorily at emergency
exits and safety signs
Central Battery System: CBS
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
If first aid posts or fire fighting equipment and fire alarm push-buttons are not on the escape route or in
an open area, they should be illuminated so that the illumination at floor level is at least 5 lx.
Emergency lighting should also be designed in other dangerous zones as well as areas that should be
accessible in the event of the usual lighting installation failure. Such areas include:
• lift cars (to prevent a panic);
• moving stairways and walkways;
• toilet facilities, lobbies, dressing rooms and cloakrooms larger than 8 m² and rooms for use by the
disabled;
• technical rooms where evacuation lighting should meet the requirements of open zone lighting
or, if required, the assumptions as for special hazard area;
• covered car parks;
• hospitals – the evacuation lighting at intensive care departments and in operating rooms should
not be less than the required usual illumination (if there is no reserve lighting).
Safety signs
Signs at any emergency exits along the escape routes should be illuminated so that they indicate
unambiguously the route of escape to a point of safety. [PN EN 1838:2005].
An exit or directional sign should always be visible from all points along the escape route. Any signs
indicating the emergency exits and escape routes should have identical colour and format, while their
luminance should be at least 2cd/m².
As people staying in building may not know it well, the use of safety marks illuminated internally and
supplied on a continuous basis is recommended.
Attention should be paid to the fact that internally illuminated safety marks are noticed from a further
distance than signs with the same size but illuminated externally.

where:
d [m] – sight distance (maximum distance at which sign is still readable)

STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
1. Emergency lighting installations and systems
Power supply to emergency evacuation lighting should be provided promptly, automatically and for a
suitable time in a specified area when the normal mains power supply to the usual lighting installation
fails.
The emergency evacuation lighting installation should provide the following features:
• illuminate the escape route signs,
• produce illumination on escape routes so that movement towards the evacuation exit of a location
is safe;
• ensure that fire alarm push-buttons and fire fighting equipment distributed along the escape routes
can be localised and used easily,
• allow conducting activities related to safety measures.
The emergency evacuation lighting should be activated not only in the event when the normal mains
power supply to the usual lighting installation fails completely, but also in case of local damage such as
the final circuit damage. At the stage of designing the emergency lighting installation, all cases should be
taken into consideration to be sure that emergency lighting will operate in the event when the normal
mains power supply fails in a specific zone.
The emergency lighting installation includes all the equipment and components within a specific facility
which are interconnected to execute tasks set to emergency lighting. In particular, this concerns the
duration of operation, provision of proper illumination, use of basic or night lighting, reporting events as
well as safe operation and activities of rescue teams also in case of fire.
The following are components of an emergency lighting installation:
• emergency lighting systems with central or individual power supply source (batteries);
• luminaires for emergency lighting designed for central or individual power supply source (batteries)
along with equipment (ignition systems, switching and address modules for systems with central
power supply source or inverters, address modules and batteries for systems with individual power
supply source);
• conductors and cables used to connect the emergency lighting system with luminaires;
• trays, culverts, slings and mechanical systems for mounting cables used for connections in
emergency lighting installations;
• equipment designed additionally for emergency lighting systems, e.g. remote control, modules for
connection to central computer, luminaire supply circuit supervision systems, systems that allow
the operation with fire fighting equipment and others used in emergency lighting installations.
2. Event log and testing of emergency lighting systems
Shop drawings of completed emergency evacuation lighting installation should be delivered and kept
in the premises of the property. The drawings should include all the luminaires and basic components.
These data should be updated according to successive alterations made in the system. The drawings
should be signed by a competent person in charge of verification of the design with regard to the
requirements in this standard. In addition, the log should be kept to record routine reports, tests,
damages and changes.
These records should be available either as handwritten records or printouts from the automatic testing
devices.
The log should be kept within the premises of the property under supervision of relevant person
appointed by the occupier/owner; it should be easily available for inspection by any authorised person.
The log should be used for recording the following information:

date and concise description of every damage and repairs made;
date and concise description of any change in the emergency lighting installation;
when automatic testing devices are used, their basic characteristics and mode of operation should
be described.
Regular servicing is essential. The occupier/owner of the property should appoint a competent person to
supervise servicing of the system. This person should be given sufficient authority to ensure the carrying
out of any work necessary to maintain the system in correct operational mode.
When automatic testing devices are used, the information should be recorded monthly. For any other
systems tests should be performed according to the requirements of PN-EN 50172 and their results
should be entered in the log.
Tests and inspections of emergency lighting equipment
Because of the possibility of a failure of the normal lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of
testing of the emergency lighting system or during the subsequent recharge period, all full duration tests
shall, wherever possible, be undertaken just before a time of low risk to allow for battery recharge. It will
allow safe battery recharging. Alternatively, suitable temporary arrangements shall be made until the
batteries have been recharged.
Daily inspection
The objective of visual inspection is to identify that the central power supply system is operational
and whether no test is required for the system. The inspection is based on visual inspection of system
indicators.
Monthly test
When automatic testing devices are used, the results of short-time tests should be recorded. In case
of other systems the monthly test is based on inspection of the emergency lighting system with regard
to its functionalities, i.e. by simulation of a failure of the normal mains power supply. It needs to be
checked whether all the envisaged luminaires for evacuation lighting and safety signs have switched to
the emergency operation mode and returned to normal operation after the mains power supply has
been restored.
The test duration should be sufficient to check the functioning of luminaires in tested zone. During this
period, all the lighting luminaires and signs should be checked to ensure that they are present, clean and
functioning properly.
Yearly test
When automatic testing devices are used, the results of full rated duration of the emergency lights
should be recorded. In case of any other systems the yearly test is based on inspection of the emergency
lighting system with regard to its functionalities, i.e. by simulation of a failure to the normal mains power
supply. It needs to be checked whether all the envisaged luminaires for evacuation lighting and safety
signs have switched to the emergency operation mode and returned to normal operation after the
mains power supply has been restored.
The test duration should be sufficient to check the envisaged backup autonomy in accordance with the
manufacturer’s information. During the test every warning lamp or device should be checked to ensure
that their indications are correct.
The charging system is recommended to be checked for correct operation.

STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
3. Emergency evacuation lighting equipment
The emergency luminaires for evacuation lighting should be designed and made in accordance with
PN-EN 60598-2-22:2004/AC Luminaires – Part 2-22: Particular Requirements. Luminaires for emergency
lighting should be selected in accordance to their location. Luminaires used in ex-zones should comply
with relevant standards and directive 94/9/EC.
The evacuation lighting luminaire igniters should comply with PN-EN 61347:2005 (multi-part standard)
Lamp controlgear - Part 2-7: Particular requirements for battery supplied electronic controlgear for
emergency lighting. Due to the amount of power output, an important parameter of igniters is the
volume of impulse striking current and its duration. These parameters should be selected so that
they do not result in a damage to contact parts of elements in power supply circuits (e.g. fuse bases,
relay contacts etc). The central power supply systems of emergency lighting should be designed and
made in compliance with PN-EN 50171:2007: Central power supply systems. The safety requirements
for batteries should be in compliance with PN-EN 50272-2:2007: Safety requirements for secondary
batteries and battery installations - Part 2: Stationary batteries.
Due to different operation modes inside safety devices, the description of types of central emergency
power supply systems is necessary.
To ensure safety of rescue teams, during their operation in emergency mode the power supply systems
should work in IT system with devices for constant control of insulation.
The automatic emergency lighting test systems should be designed, made and installed in compliance
with relevant requirements of domestic standards and regulations.
4. Classification of luminaires and protection classes
Classification of luminaires
The resistance of electric devices and equipment to adverse environmental impact as well as protection
against touching live parts by the operator depends on how the external guards and casing of the device
is made.
The above-mentioned resistance is referred to as the ingress protection and marked using the so-called
IP classification.
According to this classification, electric devices are marked with two-digit code preceded by IP symbol.
(PN-EN 60529:2003).

Protection classes
Depending on possible electric shock protection method to be used, the AC electric devices with a rated
voltage of no more than 440V and voltage to earth of no more than 250 V are divided into the following
protection classes:
Protection class 0 – the electric shock protection is provided by the basic insulation.
In the event when the insulation is damaged, the electric shock protection should be ensured by suitable
advantageous environmental conditions such as installation out of arm’s reach, isolated work stations,
no earthed devices, installations and structural components within arm’s reach.
In Poland, the use of such devices is allowed provided that simultaneous contact with device and earth
potential by the operator is eliminated or if such a contact is rare.
Protection class I – the electric shock protection against direct touch in these devices is provided by connecting
the device’s protective conductor terminal with PE or PEN cable or directly with the earthing system.
It is to ensure that:
• relevant devices activate quickly enough and power supply is switched off, or
• touch voltages are restricted to values not exceeding the permissible limits under specific
environmental conditions.
36
Central Battery System: CBS
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Protection class II - in devices with this protection class, the electric shock safety is ensured by the use
of proper insulation – double or reinforced – whose likelihood of destruction is very low.
