The Spectron LSN Life Safety Network is designed
to provide:
●
A simplified system approach to emergency
lighting and power
●
“No break” power
●
Pulse width modulated technology
●
100% load compatibility
●
Maximized reliability
●
Reduced maintenance expense
●
Enhanced security
●
Improved building aesthetics
●
Minimized space requirements
●
Communications capability
Most importantly, it delivers optimum safety for
building occupants.
Advanced Design
The basic elements of an inverter system are batteries,
an inverter, a charger and a transformer. Spectron LSN,
however, is unlike traditional IPS, FT or UPS systems
because of its innovative design.
This pulse width modulated (PWM) high-frequency inverter
utilizes the latest IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)
technology. The AC-in to AC-out operating efficiency is 98%,
well above other central inverter system equipment. This
outstanding efficiency translates to lower operating costs.
Communications
All Spectron LSN inverter systems are equipped with an
RS232 communication interface designed to give the user
greater flexibility in monitoring and controlling the system.
Big Performance...Small Footprint
Spectron LSN inverter system’s feature-rich design is
provided in an incredibly compact package. Spectron LSN
system capacities under 5KVA require less than four
square feet of floor space; all other systems up to 17.5KVA
require less than eight square feet
— the smallest footprints
in the industry!
Plus...
Compatibility
Spectron LSN systems provide 100% compatibility with
all connected loads. “No break” sinusoidal output assures
that even voltage-sensitive or frequency-sensitive loads will
operate normally during emergency operation.
