Did you know the Life Safety Code NFPA 101 testing and reporting requirements for emergency lighting include testing for 30 seconds every 30 days, testing for 90 minutes once a year, along with record keeping for reporting to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)?
Acuity Brands' Emergency Lighting solutions enabled with Self Testing Automated Reporting (STAR) revolutionize emergency lighting by providing automatic testing and reporting. Exit signs, emergency units, and luminaires equipped with IOTA Emergency Drivers enabled with STAR conduct monthly and annual tests, logging results within the devices themselves and wirelessly communicating the test data for recording and reference.
As part of the emergency lighting solution with Self Testing Automated Reporting (STAR), the ISCG Connected STAR Gateway by IOTA® enables the deployment of Connected STAR. The Connected STAR Gateway wirelessly receives data from exit signs, emergency unit equipment, and luminaires enabled with STAR and stores and makes the monthly and annual automated test results available via email, web-browser or API to aid in life safety compliance.
IOTA's Connected STAR Gateway Key Features:
-
Wireless Data Reception: Acting as a central hub, the ISCG Connected STAR Gateway wirelessly collects data from devices enabled with STAR. Exit signs, emergency units, and luminaires communicate their health and performance information to this gateway.
-
Automated Test Results: Say goodbye to manual record-keeping. The ISCG Gateway securely stores monthly and annual test results. Facility managers can access this critical data via email, web browsers, or APIs.
-
Device Management Made Easy: The gateway includes an embedded web-based interface for effortless device management. Whether it’s checking test results or configuring settings, facility managers have a streamlined process at their fingertips.
