Description

The Red Arrow VANS/3Y/ST Vanguard is a 110V LED emergency bulkhead designed to provide site illumination when the normal power supply fails. It offers a three-hour rated emergency duration, selectable self-test or manual-test functionality, and maintained or non-maintained operation. For builders, electricians and self-build project managers, it is an option for planned emergency lighting around site access and escape routes.

Emergency lighting for construction and renovation projects

When temporary site lighting loses power, enclosed areas and access routes can become difficult to navigate. Emergency lighting needs its own place in your site plan, particularly as construction work changes the layout of the building.

The Vanguard Site bulkhead provides battery-backed illumination to support that plan. Consider its positioning around the routes people need to use during a power failure, with the number and spacing of fittings determined by the project’s emergency-lighting design.

Choose how the light operates

Selectable maintained and non-maintained operation lets your installer configure the fitting for its intended role.

In maintained operation, the light can illuminate during normal supply conditions and continue in emergency mode if the supply fails. In non-maintained operation, the main light remains off during normal conditions and comes on when emergency illumination is needed.

Choose how the light is tested

Self-test and manual-test selection is separate from the choice of lighting mode. Self-test functionality automates checks and reports status through the fitting’s indicator, helping the person responsible identify faults that require attention.

This is useful for projects where emergency fittings need ongoing inspection as building work progresses. Test results and faults still need to be reviewed and acted on.

FAQ's

What emergency light should I consider for a 110V building site?

The Red Arrow Vanguard VANS/3Y/ST is an option when you need a 110V emergency bulkhead with battery backup and selectable testing modes. Suitability depends on the site’s supply, environmental conditions and emergency-lighting design, including the routes that need illumination.

What happens when the site power supply fails?

The fitting changes to battery-powered emergency operation. Its purpose is to provide emergency illumination while the normal supply is unavailable. The battery must be charged and the fitting correctly installed and maintained.

How long does the emergency light stay on?

The Vanguard VANS/3Y/ST has a rated emergency duration of three hours. This rating depends on a properly charged, serviceable battery; commissioning and routine testing help confirm that the fitting can achieve its required duration.

What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained lighting?

Maintained lighting operates during normal supply conditions as well as during a power failure. Non-maintained lighting comes on when the normal supply fails. This model supports either arrangement, allowing your installer to select the required operation.

Does self-test mean the light switches on automatically during a power cut?

Self-test refers to checking the emergency-lighting system, rather than the response to a power cut. Emergency operation and test selection serve different purposes. This fitting offers self-test or manual testing alongside its maintained or non-maintained operating choice.

Does a self-test emergency light still need checking?

Yes. Automatic testing helps identify faults, but someone must review the indicators, keep appropriate records and arrange repairs. A self-test feature does not remove responsibility for inspecting and maintaining the emergency-lighting installation.

Can I connect this bulkhead directly to a 230V domestic supply?

No. The VANS/3Y/ST is specified for a 110V supply. For a house-building project supplied from domestic mains, your electrician must arrange an appropriate supply or choose a fitting rated for the available voltage.
