THE NEW MINI INVERTERS
BY LIGHTALARMS
Why a Mini-Inverter?
WITH TODAY’S HIGHLY EFFICIENT LED TECHNOLOGY, MINI INVERTERS
ARE A RELIABLE, ECONOMICAL, HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHOICE FOR
EMERGENCY POWER
• Offers a broad range of capacity for maximum flexibility
• Provides 125W to 720W of emergency power for 90 minutes
• Can power many remotes including new LED
low wattage luminaires
• Ideal for locations with limited space to house power systems
Why a Mini Inverter?
• Allows existing fixtures to be used as emergency lighting
• Preserves the aesthetics of high-visibility areas
• Can run existing normally-on light fixtures in a power failure,
as an alternative to separate dedicated emergency lighting
• Powers LED fixtures and most light sources at 100%
Choosing The Right Backup Power System
Features
• Improved-Diagnostics/ Self-Testing
– A variable test period based on code requirements is
performed every 30 days (1 minute each month, 10
minutes after 6 months, and 90 minutes after 12 months)
• System Design
– Utilizes highly reliable solid state electronics
– The modules feature input and output protection, as well
as measure and limit their own current
Features
• Capacity
– Starting at 125W up to 720W, 120V and 277V
• True Sine Waveform (250W and up)
– with less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for linear
loads

Construction: 14-gauge steel housing
Input/Output voltage 120V 60 Hz or 277V 60 Hz
Replacable output fuse protection
Low Voltage Battery Disconnect
Unit comes standard with electronic lockout and brownout
circuits
• Improved-diagnostics non-audible is standard
Modified Sine Wave vs Pure Sine Wave
• Modified Sine Wave:
A modified sine wave (sometimes referred to as a “simulated” sine wave is an AC
current that is not a pure sine wave. Modified sine waves have some load
limitations in regards to electronic equipment. Lighting loads, however, are typically
unaffected by modified sine wave current (see note at the bottom).
• Pure Sine Wave:
A pure sine wave is indicative of normal AC voltage. There are no load limitations
with pure sine wave output.
Note: Some fluorescent lamps / light fixtures that have power factor correction capacitors
(such as old magnetic ballasts) may not be compatible with the modified sine wave.
Nexus Reliability Through Technology
• Nexus® allows for maintenance
time and cost savings
• Ensures that the emergency
lighting fixtures will perform
when needed
• Nexus® can contribute to LEED
certification and support
sustainability objectives
Benefits
• Code Compliance
– Reduces testing/service time for a minimal
maintenance cost, while ensuring that local safety
codes are met
– Provides system reliability in a power failure condition
• High Performance
– Rugged, easy-to-maintain system
– Offers exceptional overload performance without the
need to over-specify the rating
– Accept load to its full capacity when load feature
power factor of 0.9 or more
Benefits
• Versatile Applications
–
–
–
–
Can be used in almost every type of building
Ideal for architecturally sensitive applications
Lowers maintenance and testing costs
Can be installed at a distance of up to 1000 feet, offering the
opportunity to hide the unit from view and maintain the
architectural design by powering normally-on luminaires
• Maximum Light Output
– Deliver 100% power / lumen output of the fixture up to the
specified run time
• Compatible with all fluorescent ballast, LED drivers or
incandescent light sources
