What is ektor lynk?

Ektor lynk is a wireless emergency lighting management system that allows users to monitor, test and maintain emergency fittings without needing a dedicated control cable. It is designed to simplify compliance, reduce labour costs and streamline large-scale emergency lighting management.

How does Ektor lynk work?

ektor lynk uses a secure wireless mesh network built directly into supported ektor emergency lighting products. Each fitting communicates test results, status information and fault notifications to the lynk controller or gateway, which displays everything through an easy-to-use interface.

Do I need extra wiring to use Ektor lynk?

No. ektor lynk eliminates the need for DALI or hard-wired control cabling. Only standard mains wiring for each emergency fitting is required.

Is Ektor lynk suitable for new installations and retrofits?

Yes. It can be used in both new builds and existing sites where the cost or complexity of adding control wiring is impractical.

What types of tests can Ektor lynk perform?

Ektor lynk supports automatic function tests, duration tests and self-diagnostics. Test schedules can be configured to meet compliance requirements and site needs.
