The Clevertronics system, (see ‘Life Safety System Installed’ below), was carefully chosen and linked to meet the clients’ challenges. First and foremost, a top priority was given to provide sufficient lighting to cover all egress areas causing minimal disruption to the building when replacing the existing emergency lighting system.
To ‘link’ the system together, Zoneworks XT HIVE wireless mesh was chosen due to its continual monitoring and automatic testing of the emergency luminaires ensuring continued ongoing compliance. An additional benefit of using the wireless Zoneworks HIVE meant less hardware, cabling and commissioning. This was enthusiastically welcomed as additional high risk and intrusive works can equal high cost and delays.
Australia House is eligible for the Clevertronics Advantage Lifetime Support (ALS) program, as are all installed Clevertronics Zoneworks HIVE systems, therefore Australia House will receive free support for their HIVE system for the lifetime of the installation. ALS is made possible, in part, due to our
L10 Lithium Nanophosphate products, which has unrivalled warranty and have been engineered with a 12+ service life in mind. (See website for details of our ALS Program). This project is a crowning achievement by all parties involved. 400 plus emergency luminaires have been installed, commissioned, and tested. Full training has been deployed to the client and facility manager to ensure that they are able to confidently use their new HIVE testing system. As Jason Li of WSP says, “We’ve had great responses and feedback from the team with regards to the ease and simplicity of the Zoneworks XT HIVE interface. With a few clicks, the team can now automate scheduled tests of the luminaires on a consistent monthly basis and plan for a yearly 3hr test. Better still, they can visually assess the performance of the system as the installation completely simplifies the overall management of each luminaire.”
Continuing, Jason describes “In the past this would have taken days to inspect each month at great difficulty and expense due to the nature of the building. Now being automated, it directly reduces labour time and costs and any likelihood of human error. This single, easily manageable, emergency lighting system is the future and is certainly something we will be using more of.”
