Abstract
An emergency operating arrangement for at least one building technical device is provided, comprising a power supply unit, and an emergency supply unit, the power supply unit and the emergency supply unit being adapted to be supplied by an electrical supply and being configured to output a DC voltage, wherein the emergency supply unit is configured to detect an emergency situation and being configured to output a DC voltage higher than the DC voltage output by the power supply unit when the emergency situation is detected.
Claims18
Emergency operating arrangement (EOA) for at least one building technical device (L), comprising
- a power supply unit (PSU), and
- an emergency supply unit (ESU),
- the power supply unit (PSU) and the emergency supply unit (ESU) being adapted to be supplied by an electrical supply (ES) and being configured to output a DC voltage, wherein the emergency supply unit (ESU) is configured to detect an emergency situation and being configured to output a DC voltage higher than the DC voltage output by the power supply unit (PSU) when the emergency situation is detected.
Emergency supply unit (ESU) adapted to be supplied from an electrical supply (ES) and being configured to output a DC voltage, comprising:
- a detection circuit (DC) being configured to detect a change in the electrical supply (ES), and wherein the emergency supply unit (ESU), when a change in the electrical supply (ES) is detected, outputs a DC voltage higher than the DC voltage output when no change in the electrical supply (ES) is detected.
Building technical device (L), comprising
- at least one input terminal, and
- an emergency converter configured to detect DC voltage supplied at the at least one input terminal, to operate the building technical device (L) in an emergency operating mode, in particular to dim a lighting means, when the detected DC voltage increases above a threshold value.
Method for operating at least one building technical device (L), wherein a power supply unit (PSU) and an emergency supply unit (ESU) are supplied by an electrical supply (ES) and output a DC voltage, wherein the emergency supply unit (ESU) detects an emergency situation and outputs a DC voltage higher than the DC voltage output by the power supply unit (PSU) when the emergency situation is detected.
