Every new generation of emergency products from Ektor have been painstakingly engineered to perfection in Australia. Boasting one of the biggest engineering teams in the industry, you can be confident that we have the expertise to meet your requirements. For several generations, our products have offered groundbreaking features such as: Out of the box self-testing, smart charging, full DALI compliance and certification. Generation IV continues to lift the bar in performance, reliability and safety with newer, smarter features.
Our class leading product ranges
The 4th Generation
4th Generation
Taken to the next level, our 4th generation emergency product range sets a new standard. Generation IV delivers on three new key points:
Lynk: Wireless mesh
Integration
Ektor's 4th generation emergency products include support for Lynk Wireless meshing. Built using IEC62386-104 over Thread, this generation of emergency products can be added to a wireless mesh for quick and easy installation, testing and monitoring. Being built on IEC standards allows for interoperability with other compliant lighting and emergency products, regardless of manufacturer.
Power metering
Built-in
Built-in power metering technology supporting DALI DT51 means control systems can measure and report emergency device power usage. This standardised approach for emergency reporting has been built into all D4i DALI-2 drivers.
Bluetooth connectivity
Control and manage devices
Upgrade your Generation IV emergency products to support Bluetooth1 and enable commissioning and setup of standalone smart devices. This also enables device diagnostics and test timing scheduling directly from the mobile app.
Power Saving
Power saving features found in Ektor LED emergency devices are a double-win for consumers. High quality LiFEPO4 batteries with smart charging and automatic power factor disabling allow for lower overall power consumption than competitor products. Reducing power consumption reduces both running costs and the building's carbon footprint.
Long Service Life - Higher Ambient Temperatures
Reduced power consumption leads to lower heat which in turn increases product service life. All electronics and LEDs are designed for operation in ambient temperatures of up to 40ºC, with batteries tolerating up to 60ºC. These high temperature ratings ensure an increased average life expectancy in rugged and demanding environments, and paired with quality long-life electronics in Ektor devices, allow device lifetimes of up to 100,000 hours at 40°C.
Extended Battery Service Life
Our New Generation products employ a sophisticated multi-rate battery charger. This advanced battery charger increases battery service life by preventing excessive charging of the battery, thus reducing chemical process and premature degradation. The reduction in overall charging time helps preserve the battery's electrolyte and reduces the crystallisation that can occur when continually charged.
Designed for LiFePO4
Smart charge, maximising charging efficiency
The New Generation of Ektor devices implement smart charging specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries. It uses a new charging algorithm designed to maximise both energy efficiency and duration of charge. The system continuously monitors the battery to ensure it is always performing at its peak and is ready for the next emergency. Smart battery charging brings emergency lighting out of the dark – it helps to extend battery lifetimes, saving money while optimising performance.
Quality Engineering
Engineered Quality for High Performance Products
The New Generation of Ektor products have been designed to be the best performing products on the market today. Providing the best value, best energy consumption, optimal output and quality design; no short cuts have been taken in ensuring that our customers receive nothing but the best.
Quality materials
Polycarbonate Plastic
High quality polycarbonate plastic is used in all our products removing ABS plastic from the mix. Polycarbonate provides a higher strength product and doesn’t produce the thick smoke that is normally produced by ABS and ABS + PC mixes when burnt. PC also provides better resistance to many chemicals found in specialised production facilities and farming sheds. For more information on the chemical resistance of the New Generation products see our Chemical resistance sheet.
Adhering to STANDARDS
Fully DALI compliant and certified
Our range is fully compliant and certified to not only DALI but also the new DALI-2 standard. Evolt, the manufacturer of Ektor, is dedicated to moving the lighting and control industry forward and that means investing in the ever-improving DALI lighting control standard.
“DALI-2 helps fill the gaps in the original standard, resulting in significant improvements in interoperability. DALI-2 adds new features, and introduces standardisation of control devices including the recent addition of input devices, while maintaining backwards compatibility “ – DiiA Digital Illumination Interface Alliance
32 Hour Burn-in Test
Quality and verification are a major difference provided by our newest generation of products versus many other products on the market. A 32 hour fully logged and qualified burn-in test is performed on 100% of our products. Vigorous testing standards allow us to identify quality and batch issues early and ensure that when the products are shipped we are confident that they will perform as required.
Fully compliant
Where compliant means fully compliant. All Ektor products are fully compliant to the required safety, EMC, and performance requirements. While products can be found in the market that are non-compliant with even simple standards, such as labelling, Ektor products provide the best and most compliant range of products on the market today.
