The new AOI (automated optical inspection) machine added to the printed circuit board operation in 2012 is one of the first of its kind in use in North America. Emergi-Lite ® Emergency Lighting Reliable Efficient Technologically advanced printed circuit board production lines at the Large inventories are ready to ship from warehouses across the United Thomas & Betts Emergi-Lite® manufacturing facility produce thousands of States for fast delivery. circuit boards daily. Skilled production personnel are trained according to IPC To reduce the carbon footprint and minimize the environmental impact standards and use board traceability and tracking software to ensure quality. of operations, a Sustainable Development policy is in effect at the Thomas Universal SMT (surface mount technology) boards and TH (through-hole) & Betts Emergi-Lite® manufacturing facility. Through a series of initiatives, insertion boards are produced in house on multiple lines. Every station is reductions in usage of water, water bottles, electricity and natural gas, ESD (electro-static discharge) protected to eliminate static hazards, and our packaging and pallets have already been realized. Forward-looking initiatives RoHS-compliant wave soldering machine meets lead-free criteria. Automatic include reductions in paper, further recycling of pallets and implementation insertion equipment and automatic silicone coating application ensure high of an eco-delivery schedule. productivity and quality. Highly efficient electro-mechanical assembly lines are optimized for low-volume, high- mix production runs with thousands of final assemblies produced each day. Customizations such as specific punching, exact wording and color matching can be completed quickly using our in-house machine shop and painting capabilities. All orders undergo functional testing and quality inspection, with high-voltage, high-amperage power outage simulations available to test all central power systems for each customer’s specific requirements. Specialized facilities include a dark room for color-contrast measurement; temperature- and humidity-controlled environments; wall, ceiling and suspended ceiling installation simulations; and cycle-testing automation. The Thomas & Betts Emergi-Lite® manufacturing facility has been ISO 9001 compliant since 2001.

In the Interest of public safety, Building & Life Safety What is Nexus®? Codes outline the obligations of building owners/ Nexus® is a real-time monitoring system that manages the status of managers in relation to exit signs and emergency your entire emergency lighting and exit sign system, runs diagnostics, lighting to ensure the safe evacuation of a building to: performs required monthly and annual functional tests, generates • Conduct a discharge test every month maintenance logs and runs compliance reports. All of this is carried out from a central control unit with the ability • Conduct functional tests annually to monitor systems in one or a group of properties under the same • Keep a log book of maintenance information management. Available in wired or wireless (RF) versions, most Nexus® installations will pay for themselves in less than two years in operational savings, while helping to increase system reliability Complying with these requirements can be very expensive and labor and performance and eliminate the risk of failed inspections. intensive, especially in larger buildings where testing requires many labor hours spent manually inspecting every emergency light. In addition, the disruption of the power supply during inspection can put public safety at risk. What Nexus® can do for you Nexus® has been designed to enable maintenance personnel to easily maintain and monitor the emergency lighting system without having to manually check each unit, which saves countless hours of labor and disruption of power supply. Nexus® performs monthly tests and reports on the status of all emergency lights and exit signs either individually, grouped or all together. There are many advantages to the Nexus® system. These include labor savings; maximizing system availability by testing units in groups and stages rather than setting all units in recovery mode, and the convenience of self monitoring, which indicates the location of a faulty unit and reports instantly without initiating a manual search. How does Nexus® work? Nexus® communicates between the emergency lights and a centrally located server, usually a computer or Area Controller, passing messages both to and from the emergency units to instruct the units to perform all mandatory testing. Supported by a five-year warranty, Nexus® is a proven system that can contribute to LEED certification and support green building initiatives.
