The Panel Pod is a self-test emergency pod designed to convert new Ansell Infinite and Endurance LED panels into emergency lighting, providing a quick and simple solution for integrating emergency functionality into existing or new installations. This device is particularly useful for environments requiring reliable emergency lighting that can be easily installed and maintained.
The primary function of the Panel Pod is to provide emergency lighting by integrating with Ansell's Infinite and Endurance LED panels. It converts a standard LED panel into an emergency-ready fixture in approximately 60 seconds, offering a rapid "standard to emergency" transformation. When the main power supply fails, the Panel Pod automatically activates, providing illumination to ensure safety during power outages.
The device features a self-test mechanism, which is crucial for compliance with emergency lighting regulations and for ensuring the system is always operational. This self-test functionality eliminates the need for manual testing, reducing maintenance effort and ensuring reliability. A tri-colour LED indicator provides clear status updates: green for healthy running conditions, red or flashing for fault conditions, and white for emergency operation. This visual feedback allows for quick identification of the system's status, enabling proactive maintenance if a fault is detected.
The Panel Pod is designed for ease of installation, utilizing a simple, quick twist and lock fixing mechanism. It comes supplied with a pre-wired 1-meter cable, which further simplifies the installation process by reducing the need for complex wiring on-site. This design philosophy aims to minimize installation time and effort, making it an attractive option for both new installations and retrofits.
The 5W power consumption ensures energy efficiency while providing sufficient illumination during emergencies. The 120° beam angle ensures a wide spread of light, effectively illuminating the surrounding area. The 6500K cool white light is typical for emergency lighting, providing clear visibility. The 240V input voltage makes it compatible with standard electrical systems in the UK and other regions using similar voltage. The 220-lumen output is adequate for guiding occupants safely during an emergency. The 3-year warranty provides assurance of product quality and reliability.
The Panel Pod is designed for straightforward use and integration. Its "twist and lock" fixing mechanism allows for rapid attachment to compatible Ansell LED panels. The pre-wired 1-meter cable simplifies the electrical connection, reducing the complexity and time required for installation.
Once installed, the self-test feature automates the necessary compliance checks for emergency lighting. This means that the device periodically tests its battery, lamp, and control gear without manual intervention, ensuring that it is always ready for an emergency. The tri-colour LED indicator provides immediate visual feedback on the device's operational status. A green light indicates normal operation, while a red or flashing light signals a fault, prompting maintenance. In an emergency, the LED illuminates white, providing the necessary light output.
The compact design of the Panel Pod (170mm diameter, 53mm height) allows it to be discreetly integrated into ceiling grids, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space while providing essential safety features. Its compatibility with both Infinite and Endurance LED panels offers flexibility for various installations, whether new or existing.
The self-test functionality is the cornerstone of the Panel Pod's maintenance features. By automatically performing routine tests, it significantly reduces the manual effort and costs associated with maintaining emergency lighting systems. This automation helps ensure continuous compliance with safety regulations without requiring dedicated personnel to conduct regular checks.
The tri-colour LED status indicator is a critical maintenance aid. It provides an immediate visual alert if a fault occurs, allowing maintenance staff to quickly identify and address issues. This proactive fault detection minimizes downtime and ensures the emergency lighting system remains operational. For example, a red light would indicate a battery fault or a lamp failure, prompting a specific repair or replacement.
The modular design, with components like the gear tray, LED light engine, self-test inverter, and battery, suggests that individual parts may be replaceable, potentially extending the lifespan of the unit and simplifying repairs. The 3-year warranty further supports the product's reliability and provides coverage for potential manufacturing defects, reducing long-term maintenance concerns. The simple twist and lock mechanism also facilitates easy removal and reinstallation if maintenance or replacement of the pod itself is required.
