Important information
3 .4 Product description
The LP-STAR device is a compact emergency power supply
that is used as part of the tried-and-tested STAR technology.
STAR stands for:
SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED REVISION
The major advantages of this technology are that
• within a final circuit, the different methods of connection
• the standby lighting (emergency lighting is switched on
in the event of the failure of the general lighting or in the
event of a manually or automatically triggered function
and duration test)
• the maintained light (emergency lighting is always
switched on) and
• the switched maintained light (such as standby lighting,
additional emergency lighting steered by switch retrieval
(two entries per power circuit))
can be realised in mixed-flow mode per each emergency
luminary,
• every escape and exit sign sign luminaire is freely
programmable without additional data cables,
• and subsequent changes to the different methods of
connection without intervention in the existing lighting
installation are possible.
The functions of the emergency luminiares are defined by
means of user-friendly parametrisation.
The prerequisite is the use of ballasts / modules (EVGs) of
the CG-S design build.
All the settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and are
therefore not lost even in the case of a complete shut-down
(230V mains and battery power supply).
In addition, the parametrisation and the designation of all
the connected circuits and luminiares as well as the test log
book entries can be stored. Thus the archiving as well as the
(optional) external parametrisation and transfer to the control
units of the LP-STAR devices is possible.
Sealed batteries in accordance with EN 60896-2 provide
the energy to operate the emergency lighting in the event
of a power failure in the general 230V mains supply. During
normal operations the LP-STAR device monitors the state of
the batteries and if required it recharges them gently.
The LP-STAR device was developed and manufactured in
conformity with the following EC guidelines:
• Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
• Guideline 2004/108/EC on electromagnetic compatibility
Details on the national (DIN), European (EN) and international
(IEC) norms that must be complied with can be found in the
CE conformity declaration for the device.
3 .5 Operating modes
Depending on the local requirements different system
configurations can be used. These standardised configurations
have designations, e. g.
LP-STAR-4-12, IP20/IP54/ESF30
for the operation of a maximum of 4 circuits with a maximum
of 20 luminaires per circuit and a total rated power of
133 W/1h; 24 W/3h.
LP-STAR-4-24, IP20/IP54/ESF30
for the operation of a maximum of 4 circuits with a maximum
of 20 luminaires per circuit and a total rated power of
303 W/1h; 86 W/3h; 16 W/8h.
LP-STAR-4-36, IP20/IP54/ESF30
for the operation of a maximum of 4 circuits with a maximum
of 20 luminaires per circuit and a total rated power of
468 W/1h; 149 W/3h; 38 W/8h.
LP-STAR-4-48, IP20/IP54/ESF30
for the operation of a maximum of 4 circuits with a maximum
of 20 luminaires per circuit and a total rated power of
540 W/1h; 212 W/3h; 66 W/8h.
All of the devices follow a modular design. Charging
technology, switching technology and monitoring technology
form units that operate independently from each other so
that the possibility of interactions is excluded. Thanks to
the modular construction flexible, high quality processing
is guaranteed. The protection objective of the emergency
lighting system is to supply the connected safety lighting
system in the event of the general power failure of the
primary external power supply. Furthermore, an important
function of the emergency lighting system is to ensure the
permanent operational capability of all the connected escape
and exit sign luminaires via automatic monitoring.
