Routefinder Testing and reporting for emergency lighting systems
Routefinder brings simplicity in both operation and installation to the testing and monitoring of an emergency lighting system. Controlled from a touchscreen, Routefinder can monitor and report on any DALI addressable emergency lighting, without the need for complex infrastructure. The simple and intuitive Graphical User Interface provides real time access to emergency testing and reporting as well as clear visual notification of faults.
Routefinder Routefinder is a standalone, testing, monitoring and reporting DALI emergency system. Simple to install, intuitive and user-friendly, Routefinder works around an innovative touchscreen panel that s fitted to the wall. This touchscreen has an integral Graphical User Interface that automatically communicates the status of the system to the user through colour coded graphics. All OK A green tick indicates the emergency devices on the system are functioning correctly. Thus the lighting in place will work if an emergency arises. Fault(s) found A red cross indicates that one or a number of emergency devices on the system are not functioning correctly. Thus the lighting in place may not work if an emergency arises. In Action Completely scalable, Routefinder is suitable for small to medium one floor applications right up to large networked multi-floor applications. One panel can be linked to up to 128 DALI emergency devices over 2 DALI subnets. These devices could be LED or fluorescent luminaires, exit signs or enclosed emergency units. As well as being addressed individually or altogether, every device on the system can belong to up to 16 group assignments. Group assignments can be used to apply emergency tests to predefined areas of a building, and can be reconfigured at any time, for example to accommodate changes in building usage without the need for re-wiring. Typical small to medium site configuration Routefinder Specification One Routefinder panel, linked to 27 DALI EM inverters; - 15 x Recessed 600sq luminaires with integral COMEPS in open office - 7 x Surface luminaires with integral COMEPS in corridors - 3 x Standalone COMEPS emergency units in cellular offices - 2 x COMEPS Exit Signs at exits Reporting software is included with touchscreen to enable downloading of reports through a Windows computer s USB port Any COMEPS enabled emergency luminaire Any COMEPS enabled luminaire
Typical large networked site configuration Routefinder Ethernet Switch Desktop PC Specifications One Routefinder touchscreen on each floor of the building; each panel linked to 27 DALI EM inverters on each floor Three touchscreens are linked to each other and connected to a LAN via an Ethernet switch Touchscreens can be accessed remotely via Windows computer with software licence (supplied separately) Ensuring compliance Routefinder has been designed to conform with the international standard for DALI protocol, IEC 62386. The system conducts function and duration testing at times defined by the user. The automatic testing is in accordance with IEC 62034 / BS5266 / EN50172. Test logs and reports are stored for up to 4 years. Any COMEPS enabled exit sign For compliance with other standards, please consult Whitecroft Controls Department.
routefinder Testing and reporting for emergency lighting systems Information Routefinder is a DALI emergency test and monitoring system, suitable for simple emergency installations or for large networked systems. Compatible with all approved Whitecroft DALI emergency (COMEPS) enabled products.* Via the intuitive touchscreen and integrated software, the Routefinder system provides a comprehensive picture of the historical and real-time status of the emergency lighting installation. Automatic status notifications are logged by the system whenever a fault or test failure is detected that could compromise the safety of the system. A full record of system status is available at any time. Routefinder can be utilised in one or multiple areas, depending on the needs of the application. Multiple Routefinder touchscreens can be networked together to remotely monitor larger systems using an Ethernet switch and additional software (supplied separately). *The presence of COMEPS emergency is denoted in the product part code by suffix /EP. To check compatibility of a product with the Routefinder system, please contact Whitecroft Technical Desk.
