So you can switch from manual testing to automatic, without a full lighting upgrade. Safecility works with any DALI enabled emergency light, so if your lighting is not DALI enabled, a DALI inverter can be easily installed at the same time as the Safecility control sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Safecility Emergency Lighting Control Sensor is connected to the Cloud platform before you receive it. Once you have the Safecility sensor, all you have to do is follow 4 simple installation steps and be up and running with a stress-free wireless ATS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/share-eu1.hsforms.com\/1IHAbzGHiRkivHKLfaOfOwQf65az\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2192<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>Contact us today for a demo<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sensor Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/safecility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Safecility-Emergeny-Light-Controller-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6525\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 100x50x20mm&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensor Casing:<\/strong> Flanged IP54 with x2 cable glands<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 0.1 KG<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commissioning: <\/strong>Sensors are pre-commissioned by Safecility\u2019s technical team prior to delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Before you get started<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin, you\u2019ll need a 3mm flat head screwdriver, wire stripper and a voltage tester.
