M - Range of Modules
For Non-Maintained Applications


In premises such as high bay storage areas where discharge lighting is utilised, it is often the case that separate fluorescent luminaires are used to provide the emergency lighting. DC's M range of dedicated Non-Maintained modules will fulfil this role operating most fluorescent lamps up to 36W creating Non maintained or sustained (combined) emergency lighting luminaires.

At only 154mm in length, the M range is not only compact and reliable but have been tested and approved by BSI in accordance with EN60924 for safety, EN60925 for performance and are British Standard Kite Marked.

MS - Range of Modules
For Switch Start Circuits


Where switch-start control gear is employed to operate mains luminaires with linear or compact fluorescent lamps you can do no better than to select an DC Emergency Systems MS module to provide the emergency operation. Fully certified to British and European standards EN60924 for safety, EN60925 for performance and are British Standard Kite Marked. The MS modules are compact, efficient, reliable and suitable for use with Nickel Cadmium batteries.

ML - Range of Modules
Low Profile for all Circuits


Suitable for operation with switch-start or high frequency circuits, the ML range of emergency modules have a depth of only 28mm which makes them one of the lowest profiles available and highly suitable where there is limited height in slim-line luminaires. For increased flexibility the construction of the ML module allows for base and side fixing and the terminals are logically arranged to aid simple and quick installation.

All modules are fully certified to British and European standards EN60924 for safety, EN60925 for performance and are British Standard Kite Marked and are also suitable for use with Nickel Cadmium batteries.

MH - Range of Modules
Compact for all Circuits


At only 154mm overall length, MH emergency modules are some of the most compact available to luminaire designers, offering a practical solution to the space problems encountered when converting compact fluorescent lamped luminaires for emergency lighting use.

Designed for use with switch-start and high frequency circuits the MH range of modules are fully certified to British and European standards EN60924 for safety, EN60925 for performance and are British Standard Kite Marked and are also suitable for use with Nickel Cadmium batteries.

MLR/MHR - Range of Modules
Incorporating a Mains Delay Facility Suitable for all Circuits


This module range features a special relay circuit which inhibits the electrical supply to the mains ballast during testing or emergency conditions. This feature is particularly suitable for electronic control gear susceptible to 'lock out' conditions and dimming ballasts etc. All modules are fully certified to British and European standards EN60924 for safety, EN60925 for performance and are British Standard Kite Marked and are also suitable for use with Nickel Cadmium batteries.
