BeLuce: Centro System – Smart Technology / Emergency Lighting

Beluce: Centro System - Smart Technology / Emergency Lighting

April 14, 2025

Centro System Is an All-In-One Solution

Reliability is the most important feature of any emergency power source. Without it, all other features and benefits are meaningless. Fortunately, there is now an innovative and reliable solution that greatly simplifies the installation process and considerably reduces the cost of material, labour, monitoring and maintenance: the Centro system.

Normally on signs and normally off remotes must operate independently on the building’s power during a power failure. It thus requires two different cables to connect the emergency fixtures. A third wire is essential to allow communication between the units. It, therefore, generates important material and labour costs, especially for large/vast buildings where running thousands of feet of wires are needed. The Centro system is the perfect solution to reduce those costs because it only involves a single cable instead of three.

The Centro drivers within each unit will determine what is normally off or normally on in the circuit. It also permits communication between the units and the Centro Software.

Connected via Ethernet, it can be controlled through an app or web interface anywhere in the world. This allows you to manage up to 120 emergency units (signs/remotes) within a single building or oversee several buildings remotely from one central access point.


Centro Layout

The Centro system is a compact centralized battery with 144W capacity for 1 hour. An extra battery pack can be added to increase duration if needed. It can be split across 6 channels and be related to a maximum of 120 devices. There are 11 compatible BeLuce products with the Centro system: 6 signs and 5 remotes. Since it’s a centralized battery, only one point of maintenance and service is required, being again a cost-effective solution.


Monitoring & Maintenance

The auto-test feature allows testing of your emergency system to the Fire code of Canada’s requirements. All tests and changes to the system are logged. Reports are automatically sent via email for effective maintenance. If a lamp is no longer turning on, receive a fast update by email.

For example, if there is a load variation in the system, the Centro software will create a report accessible on the web platform and send error messages by email to the main user. Since it is possible to identify the units by a unique name, the main user will easily know where the defective fixture is located in the building so it can be replaced.


Key Features

  • All-in-one solution handling Normally ON, Normally OFF, and communication with the same pair of wires.
  • Monitors the emergency lighting system by automatically performing the tests required by the National Building Code, reducing maintenance time and costs.
  • Centro connects to the internet via Ethernet cable and can be controlled through the Centro Software or web from anywhere in the world.
  • All Centro systems installed in multiple buildings can be controlled, operated and monitored remotely in the same group using the Centro Web platform.
  • Maintenance report is created and available on the Centro software or web platform.
  • Error notifications and important information are sent to the predefined user.
  • Centro is a centralized battery, meaning only one point of maintenance is needed.

Customization

The Centro system is equipped with an automatic search and light coding function. It means the main user can identify every unit in a building with a unique name or code, so it is easier to maintain afterwards and avoid laborious coding errors.


Networking

Due to the Centro’s functionality, all systems in its group can be centrally controlled, operated and serviced. Ultimately, the full potential of the Centro system unfolds with its visualization software. Centro connects to the Internet via an Ethernet cable and can be controlled through the Centro software or web from anywhere in the world.

All the emergency lighting systems in multiple buildings can thus be visualized in the same network by a single person and from any location with an Internet connection. Information about the status of the systems is sent by e-mail to the main user.
