Emergency lighting is required to provide light of a sufficient level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely.
The CoreSync Emergency Lighting Bypass (ELB) is a UL924-compliant solution for operating emergency light fixtures controlled on a Molex CoreSync PoE network.
The ELB receives both a PoE input and emergency power from a Life Safety power source. During normal operation, PoE power from a Molex PoE Gateway passes through the Module, enabling routine CoreSync control of an emergency-designated fixture.
In the event of an emergency, such as power failure, PoE power source failure or disconnection of cabling, the Module will bypass normal PoE control and activate the emergency power source and onboard LED driver. The fixture will be powered to full brightness irrespective of previous state/control. Once the emergency condition is cleared, the lighting system will resume normal operation and the fixture will revert to the previous CoreSync control state. The ELB also provides inputs for testing and fire alarm connection.
