Patients sheltered in safety
Corridor lighting is switched over to a basic
lighting level at night. This cuts down on energy
costs and increases safety.
In rooms that are not used at night, e.g. in the
therapy center, lighting and equipment can be
switched off centrally.
Where large numbers of people are
accommodated in a single building as
in a hospital, then safety has absolute
priority: for the protection of persons and
property, for avoidance of damage and to
limit costs downstream.
GAMMA instabus is on duty twenty-four
hours a day.
It is better to prevent damage than to
repair it
• Accidents due to inadequate lighting
can easily be avoided. If corridor
lighting is switched on when a
person is in the corridor, then the
right lighting is always there when it
is needed.
• The lighting of the exterior and
walkways can be made dependent on
brightness, movement or time and so is
always turned on in time.
• Windows, roof hatches or doors left
open can cause significant building
damage in the event of storm, rain or
frost. The indication of “Open window“
or “Open door“ makes sure you can
close these in time.
• In order to avoid damage due to
unsupervised electrical equipment, e.g.
in lounges, these are switched off
centrally with a single press of a button
when the room is unoccupied.
In the event of danger
• In case of danger, everyone in the
hospital is guided safely out with
emergency and escape route lighting
based on GAMMA instabus installed
according to EN 1838.
• Fast and proper reaction in the event of
danger is possible with visualization
that shows the location of danger.
• Buildings or areas of buildings that
are unoccupied at night, such as
consulting rooms, laboratories,
dispensaries, out-patients, registries,
stores, laundries or kitchens can be
monitored through the network from
another site.
• If the fire alarm system is connected
with GAMMA instabus, a response can
be made automatically at the right
place in a danger situation. Electrical
consumers will be switched off before
they become an additional risk. The
complete lighting system can be
switched on, thus reducing the danger
of panic. Blinds will be raised to allow
escape if necessary through windows
and doors will be unlocked. Roof
hatches and skylights will be closed to
prevent the fire spreading.
