Building upon decades of expertise in the delivery of life safety systems, and particularly emergency lighting technologies, Eaton’s Adaptive Evacuation System enables faster, safer and more agile evacuations, particularly when deployed alongside a public address/voice alarm solution that provides additional guidance.

When installed, the system is programmed with a range of potential exit routes. Based on information from CCTV, fire detection and other devices that pinpoint the nature and location of a hazard, it can select the safest and fastest route for occupants and an appointed system operator within the building is given the opportunity to accept or reject this recommendation, so that occupants can be directed accordingly.

Unlike ‘active’ and ‘dynamic’ systems, Eaton’s technology is fully adaptable and its instructions can be modified in real-time. It has been extensively tested and conforms with current regulatory requirements, although the technology is so new that standards are still to be fully defined.

Static escape route guidance

Exit sign luminaires designate the escape route out of the building always in the same direction, independently of a dangerous situation.

Dynamic escape route guidance

Exit sign luminaires block unsafe escape routes in evacuation situations, thereby guiding those fleeing out of the building via the safe escape routes.

Adaptive escape route guidance

Exit sign luminaires block unsafe escape routes and release these as soon as they become safe again. This enables dynamic hazard situations (e.g in case of fire or attacks) to be flexibly responded to.

The GuideLed DXC LED exit sign luminaire is in keeping with German / European standards EN 60598-1, DIN EN 60598-2-22, DIN 4844-1 and DIN EN 1838 with additional function for displaying a red ‘X’ to signify an area as closed or blocked.

Special LED converter with integrated monitoring module for single luminaire monitoring with 20-digit address switches and integrated bus interface for direct connection to Eaton’s Adaptive Evacuation system with the use of the EATON AE-CU via a dataline.
