Electrical Services Section 20.00 / Page 19
The master controller and communication network shall be a ‘Clevertronics Zoneworks System’
or a ‘Stanilite Nexus (NCS) - Emergency Lighting Computerised Testing and Monitoring System’
supplied and installed as a complete system.
A minimum of 20% spare capacity shall be allowed in each building for future additional lights.
The final connection is to an existing computer complete with interface and software for that
campus. Where no such computer exists, it shall be supplied by GU.
Normal NCS LAN cabling is to be installed using NCS data cable (yellow).
For refurbishment projects which require modification of the emergency lighting system, the
electrical contractor shall obtain from GU Maintenance the most recent test results for the
building system before commencing any modification work on the system. On completion of the
modification works, the building system shall be retested and the test results provided to the GU
Electrical Engineer. A comparison of the previous and new test results will be used to establish if
the installation and commissioning of the modified system have been undertaken correctly.
Commissioning of emergency Exit Lights shall be carried out by a specialist emergency lighting
contractor such as Emergency Lighting Specialists Pty Ltd (contact: 0412 126 041) or
Queensland Evacuation Lighting (contact: 0411 537 459).
The emergency lighting system is to be installed as per manufacturers specifications. The
commissioning and documentation of the system shall be complete including ‘As Constructed’
drawings with individual light fitting numbers, locations of major components such as routers and
ELD’s and circuits. All fields within the software package (database) are to be fully populated.
20.12.02 Emergency Lighting Luminaires
Emergency lighting luminaires shall generally be ’Clevertronics LED Starlight’ or ‘Stanilite Spitfire
SFNXS10’ non-maintained type fittings. The fitting shall be fitted with a clear protective dome
where there is a high risk of vandalism, or there is a hostile environment such as in a laboratory
or kitchen. The mains sensing circuit shall automatically switch the luminaire to emergency
mode upon failure of the local lighting circuit.
As a simplification of the emergency lighting system, install Spit Fire/Star Light emergency fittings
rather than utilising general light fittings with an emergency battery pack.
Stair lighting luminaries shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Fire Safety Act and
shall be a ‘Clevertronics’ or ‘Stanilite’ maintained or non-maintained type fitting suitable to its
application.
‘Exit’ lighting shall be in accordance with the requirements of the BCA and shall be ‘Clevertronics
LED Cleverfit Exit’ or ‘Stanilite Millennium’ maintained type fittings. Unless otherwise stated,
‘Exit’ lights shall have a white pictogram on a green background. In lecture theatres they are to
have a green pictogram on a black background with the bottom face of the stand-off lens clear.
All emergency lighting fittings shall be LED in preference to cold cathode type where available.
Each luminaire shall have visible ID labels for maintenance purposes, one on the fitting and one
of the ceiling adjacent. The ID for ‘Stanilite Nexus’ shall indicate the Building No., Router No.,
Floor Level, adjacent Room No. and the Fitting No. e.g N13/3/2/1.10/340, and for ‘Clevertronics
Zoneworks’ shall be symbol Z, Building No., DB No., CB No. and Fitting No. e.g.
Z/N13/2A/23/340 .
For refurbishment projects, new Emergency Exit Light fittings installed shall match the existing
fittings elsewhere throughout the building, and commissioning of new monitored Emergency Exit
Light fittings shall include the decommissioning of any redundant fittings from the monitoring
system. Test results for 100% of the fittings in the modified system shall be provided and an
updated floor plan (laminated) showing the location of all Emergency Exit Lights shall be
provided in the building main switch room.
