Delivering peace of mind with simplicity

Imagine a building coming alive with activity. People are working, shopping, enjoying themselves. But what happens if the lights go out? Egress and emergency lighting come in as silent guardians, ensuring a safe path out in case of an emergency or power outage. By keeping these critical pathways illuminated, everyone inside can find their way out calmly and quickly.

WaveLinx EM takes the guesswork out of your emergency solutions. By integrating into the WaveLinx system, you can complete monthly testing with the press of a button on your computer or mobile device.

How it works

WaveLinx EM provides wireless and wired emergency solutions, integrated into a mobile app, reducing the need for components and additional wiring while speeding up the testing process.

Normal Operation

Normal Power Sensing (NPS) devices are used to detect the presence of normal power for an emergency set. Through wired or wireless communication, NPS devices communicate normal power to the emergency device allowing lighting controls to function seamlessly and produce a reliable user experience. By leveraging NPS devices to sense normal power, an additional (normal power) electrical feed to the emergency device is not required.

Emergency Operation

During an emergency event, the NPS loses power and the EM devices receive power from the emergency circuit that's transferred power (through an upstream UL1008 transfer switch) to the central backup power. When an NPS device loses power, the EM device forces the fixtures associated with that device to 100% output and ignores all manual actions. Once power is returned, the EM devices return to their standard operation.
