Emergency lighting transfer system is designed to switch one or more lighting loads from one power source to another during a power failure or other emergency situation. ETC’s rugged ELTS2 construction and fail-safe circuitry are UL 1008-approved for any North American emergency lighting application where life safety is an issue. Flexible power requirements and circuit counts design the system you want. The ELTS2 allows selected houselights that are normally fed by a dimmer, to provide code-compliant, full-on emergency illumination during loss of utility power, fire alarm activation, or manual activation. Unlike systems that simply bypass the dimmer, ELTS2 actually transfers the load (both hot and neutral conductors) from the dimmer output to a separate emergency power source. A local control panel that includes a test keyswitch and LED indicators clearly displays system status.
