The all new i-Monitor Emergency Light Testing System from Channel
The Channel Safety System i-Monitor Emergency is a comprehensive DALI based emergency light testing system. i-Monitor Emergency has been designed so it can provide a flexible, powerful and user friendly emergency lighting testing and reporting system.
The i-Monitor control panels are standard Apple iPad devices utilising a specific ‘App’ which is intuitive and very easy to use for both the commissioning engineer as well as a user. The ‘App’ is used to configure all the connected DALI Emergency devices.
Featuring a straight forward graphic user interface and commissioning tool, coupled with a very powerful database engine, the system provides an immediate and simple way to initially set-up the system, as well as presentation of live real time status. Results from routine tests are available to view, print and/or email (internet connectivity required for email), therefore assisting the building operator in maintaining the emergency lighting with timely repairs to reported faults, as well as maintained records of testing for demonstrations of compliance with regulations.
An i-Monitor Emergency lighting test system comprises of one or more iPad touchscreens, each supporting up to 10 Channel Safety Systems DALI Emergency Hubs, each have two separate DALI field networks supporting up to 64 DALI devices each. Therefore each touchscreen and associated DALI emergency Hub’s has the capacity to manage up to 1,280 DALI Emergency devices. These devices can be allocated to one of 16 testing groups. Up to 8 touchscreens can be networked together to form a system which can accommodate 10,240 DALI Emergency units.

i-Monitor iPad Application
Traditionally, Users of lighting control and lighting emergency testing systems have struggled with a lack of an intuitive graphical user interface, resulting in systems being difficult to visualise, harder to access, and often requiring additional paper drawings and grouping tables to be maintained to keep the system up to date and allow changes to be made.
As a result of speaking with our customers we have developed the new i-Monitor iPad™ application (App) which provides an intuitive Graphic User Interface (GUI), designed to provide clear and simple ‘at a glance’ visualisation, commissioning and management of the emergency lighting testing system.
i-Monitor also provides the following functionality giving greater management of a system:
– At a glance system status information
– System diagnostic information
– Alert messages and colour coding of status graphics
– Configurable automatic testing schedule
– Logging of the last 11 monthly function tests and 5 annual duration tests
– Results sent to a printer for hard copy records (Apple AirPrint™ compatible)
– Results may also be emailed (internet connectivity required)
Our Aim is to give our customers a better solution for their lighting control and management by providing:
- Intuitive user interfaces
- User friendly tools for energy management, helping to reduce the energy consumed by a buildings lighting
- Out of the box tools and reporting for functions such as routine emergency lighting tests
- Live remote reporting of faults and failures using email and automated work sheets
