What is an Emergency Lighting Inverter?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has written Life Safety Code® (NFPA 101®*) that defines the requirements for emergency lighting for means of egress.

The standard requires that emergency illumination shall be provided for not less than 1-1/2 hours (90 minutes) in the event of failure of normal lighting.  Installation and testing requirements are written in the National Electric Code® (NFPA 70®*). The FirstLine® 924 is a central system battery back-up to meet these requirements.

In the event of an AC power failure, FirstLine® 924 automatically supports the connected lighting loads on battery power and will continue to provide power without any interruption for a full 90 minutes.  When the utility power returns to normal, FirstLine® 924 will automatically recharge the batteries to be ready for the next power disturbance.

In addition to meeting life safety requirements, the FirstLine® 924 can also increase the life expectancy of the protected lighting system and reduce long-term cost of ownership.
