K9 Mini Recessed

ETAP K9 Mini Range, smallest emergency module

ETAP’s K9 module emergency light is the smallest emergency available in Australia. The K9 mini is designed to discreetly operate in interior spaces where every elements within the interior space matters. The K9 mini will work perfectly in decorative ceilings, heritage projects, acoustic ceilings and timber ceiling. The battery and Driver or ‘Gear’ can be installed remotely up 20m away from the LED fascia, as long as the gear is placed in an accessible area for maintenance. The K9 mini comes with mounting accessories to ensure ease of installation for concealed emergency system. The K9 Module can be installed into all of ETAP’s interior products and Bluelab custom products. by incorporating the K9 mini into lighting products it will lessen the services within the ceiling line, reduce installation labor and be able to suspend the emergency with the lighting fixture.

Optics:

While the K9 mini has a narrow reach than the K1 and K9 standard Emergencies due to the smaller size, the optics still has the same principle.

ETAP offer 2 optics for optimal performance: the anti-panic lens distributes light in a square area for even illumination including corners and the escape-route lens provides an elongated beam for passages and corridors. The escape-route lens will give a 19.2m beam (based on 2.7m ASNZ2293 tables, see below) allowing designers to use less fittings, subject to ASNZ2293-18 guidelines. ETAP’s emergency optics allow these emergencies to be mounted on high ceiling without suspending the products. Please see our Australian and New Zealand spacing guide below under ‘Downloads’ section.

Testing:

Like all of ETAP Lighting’s Exit and Emergencies EST+ comprehensive stand alone self-test is supplied as standard. ESM monitored systems is available when needed. Both EST+ and ESM offer full testing including diode function, wiring function, battery function every 2 weeks. Every 90 days the system will operate a battery health test, draining the battery to 90 minutes and recharging. Both systems do note require manual intervention, the systems will test to ASNZ2293 and maintain the system to standard. If any faults occur, the product with send a signal to the indicator offering a different sequence to advise what the fault is, whether is the diode, wiring or battery fault or health. In ESM monitored system, the fault will report back to the web controller, ESM will send an alert to Maintenance with the building, with a report where the product is located and what the fault is. This advise will continue until the product is rectified. ETAP Lighting offer central battery systems and wireless monitored ‘ESM’ products. ETAP Lighting’s monitored system ‘ESM’ CAN monitor any other emergency lighting product via a Dali Gateway. Please see EST and ESM brochures offered under ‘Downloads’ section.

The K9 mini indicator can be found within the lens. The K9 Mini houses 3 separate diodes, first being 0.9W LED for Emergency function, A second Green diode to signal healthy operation and a third orange diode to alert a fault. The Orange indicator will work like all ETAP indicators by sending a sequence while flashing to alert the fault in the product.

Batteries:

All ETAP Exits and Emergencies come with NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries as standard. When cadmium-based batteries were banned, ETAP switched to NiMH on their entire emergency and exit lighting range. Not only are they cadmium-free, they also consume less energy and are 50% more compact. Lithium has been proven to be unstable in heat, flammable and harder to recycle at the end of the battery life cycle. NIMH battery are less harmful to the environment and are able to be recycled at the end of their operating life. We maintain maximum battery life by including battery health functions every 90 days in all ETAP testing systems, this provides less than 5% failure over a 10 year period.

Warranties:

ETAP Lighting offer 4 year factory warranties on their products. Their is no fine print that excludes batteries or PCB components. ETAP Lighting continue to lead the way with all of their product to produce high performing luminaires that last, by incorporating in luminaire design the components ideal performance and health conditions. ETAP Lighting’s comprehensive testing that includes battery health cycles every 90 days, to ensure the life of the battery and compliance of the product. EST+ and ESM testing system also include diode health and wiring function. It is with this technology that ETAP Lighting Exit and Emergency systems see less than 5% failure over a 10 year period.

Compliance:

The K9 mini Emergency Range has been tested in ETAP Lighting’s certified lab (CTF 1,2,3 Dekra) compliance certificate #ETAP2020K1AP, ETAP2020K1ER.

compliant labeling under ASNZ2293 can be found within the housing read more in our article that fully explains the solution to labeling the K9 Mini without compromise.
