Hi. My name’s Dan and today we’ll be talking about the Channel Meteor Maxi Emergency Light Fitting. This fitting comes…it can be set as either maintained or non-maintained. This purpose here I’ve got is non-maintained, which means with the power on in normal operation the emergency lights are off. When the maintenance is dropped to it, the emergency lights will activate and the LEDs will illuminate. Maintained, the LEDs are always on, even in power failure. You know? It can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and has a [inaudible 00:00:38] 65 it can be internal or external. And it also comes with tutorial stickers for you to stick on there. It’s easy to install, it’s lightweight, and, you know, it comes with push-fit connectors inside for your cable terminations, as well. What I’d like to talk to you today about with it is this optional remote control that you can purchase. This is ideal for testing. It’s got one test button on it, which if you point at the fitting and press test once it will do an operational five-second discharge test. Ideal for people performing weekly or monthly tests and just want to check the operation of the LEDs. By pointing at it and pressing the test button twice, this will put the unit into a three-hour discharge test, you know, and the LED operation will show you if it’s a pass or fail. Once this is finished, it will revert back to normal. You only need one remote if you have a site with multiple emergency lights. You can walk around the building just by simply pointing and pressing at each unit. That will put them individually in the test, which makes it a great time saver for anyone testing these on a regular basis or just, you know, one now and again. It doesn’t matter. Any more information, please contact Discount Fire and I would be happy to help.
FAQ
What makes the Meteor Maxi different from standard emergency luminaires?
The Meteor Maxi offers significantly higher light output with 124 lm emergency output and 535 lm mains output, compared to standard emergency luminaires. It also features optional remote control testing capability and enhanced weatherproof protection with IP65 rating.
How does the remote control testing work?
The optional remote control (E/EM/RC) allows you to perform monthly 5-second tests with a single press, or yearly 3-hour tests with a double press. The LED system confirms pass/fail status without needing to remove or restore power, making compliance testing simple and efficient.
Can the Meteor Maxi be used outdoors?
Yes, the Meteor Maxi has an IP65 weatherproof rating making it suitable for both internal and external environments where protection against dust and water ingress is required.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained operation?
Maintained operation means the emergency light operates continuously during normal power supply, whilst non-maintained operation means it only activates during mains power failure. The Meteor Maxi can be configured for either mode to suit specific application requirements.
What accessories are available for the Meteor Maxi?
Available accessories include a semi-flushing bezel (E/BEZ/MM) for recessed installation, an optional remote control (E/EM/RC) for testing, and a replacement battery (B/BATT/MM). Each unit also comes with a comprehensive pictogram pack.
How does the LiFePO4 battery technology benefit performance?
LiFePO4 battery technology (3.2V 1500mAH) offers longer service life, better temperature stability, improved safety characteristics, and lower environmental impact compared to traditional battery technologies, whilst providing reliable 3-hour emergency duration.
What are the installation mounting options?
The Meteor Maxi can be ceiling or wall mounted using standard fixings. An optional semi-flushing bezel is available for applications requiring a more integrated, recessed appearance.
