Retrofit Installation
EmeRed can be installed and commissioned on to any luminaire in under 10 minutes and will carry out tests over the next ten years and beyond.
Secure Mesh Network
EmeRed, along with other Vericon devices, utilise ZigBee technology. ZigBee creates a self-healing mesh network to cover an entire building and ensure connectivity.
Staggered Testing
Using Vericon's portal, test schedules can be set per device allowing for staggered testing in a single building, ensuring compliance with BS5266.
Automatic Failure Reporting
The EmeRed will automatically send all test results to Vericon Connect. The Connect system will then notify specified users to any failed lamps or those requiring preventative maintenance.
What's the process?
01
Survey and Analysis
Firstly, it is important to understand your current assets and the cost of emergency lighting testing across your entire portfolio.
02
EmeRed Consultation
Give us the number of assets and buildings in your portfolio for us to create a tailored business case for your roll-out.
03
Install and Commission
Retrofit the EmeRed into your existing emergency lights and commission them using the engineers app.
04
Schedule Your Tests
Now your EmeReds are installed, simply log in to the portal and set up the testing schedule for your portfolio.
05
Enjoy the Benefits
Focus on tasks that need your attention, knowing your emergency light testing is taken care of.
The trial has been going well, with a 98% success on retrofitting. The biggest advantage has been the complete visibility of the stock. The portal is easy to use, and the monitoring and reporting services are very useful.

Complete ecosystem to support remote autonomous building management
EmeRed Autonomous Testing
Using EmeRed to automate your emergency lighting testing regime has a range of advantages over manual testing, including:
Compliance
EmeRed devices are programmed to conduct tests in accordance with your regulatory obligations so you can guarantee 100% compliance.
Degradation testing
EmeRed measure the life outstanding in each battery, to ensure they are replaced before an emergency occurs. It also automatically notifies you if there is a problem.
Simple management
Since the reporting is online, via the cloud, individual lights, buildings or indeed whole estates can be controlled from your desk.
Manual Testing
Testing emergency lighting equipment is a time consuming and costly job. It is often left to the facilities manager or buildings manager who have not always been given the training required to take on such an important responsibility.
There are also other drawbacks to manual testing, including:
Business disruption
Manual testing disrupts normal building use, and takes the facilities manager away from other tasks, since it requires tested areas to be vacant for 24 hours following a duration test.
Lack of maintenance planning
A lack of fault and repair history for the light fittings makes future maintenance planning difficult and inefficient.
Reporting
Records are often poorly kept, if at all, and standardised records and management processes are often lacking.
