Alpine Emergency Exit Box | 4W, IP20, 220-240V | Arrow Up Legend
£26.56 (inc VAT: £31.87)
Summary
The Channel Safety Systems Alpine EALP01 is an LED emergency exit box designed for commercial and public building applications where reliable, low-maintenance exit signage is required. Featuring a 27-LED array with a 32-metre viewing distance, it provides clear illumination of exit routes in both normal and emergency conditions, with a minimum 3-hour emergency backup powered by an integrated LiFePO4 battery.
A key feature of the Alpine range is its tri-test functionality. Rather than committing to a single test method, the unit offers selectable self-test, manual test, or remote control test operation, with compatibility with the Channel Safety SmartTest remote control (E/EM/RC, sold separately) for routine testing without the need to interrupt the mains supply. The unit ships configured for maintained operation but can be set up for non-maintained use during installation, making it suitable for a wide variety of commercial environments.

FAQs
What test methods does the Alpine support?
The Alpine EALP01 supports three test methods, selectable at the unit: self-test (automatic testing to BS EN 62034), manual test, and remote control test. When used with the optional Channel Safety SmartTest remote control (E/EM/RC), a single press initiates a 5-second monthly test and a double press triggers a 3-hour annual duration test, with an LED pass/fail indicator — all without needing to remove or restore mains power.
Can the unit be used in non-maintained mode?
Yes. The EALP01 is supplied configured for maintained operation — meaning the legend is illuminated continuously during normal conditions — but it can be reconfigured for non-maintained use during installation, where the legend is only illuminated when the mains supply fails.
What alternative legends are available?
The unit ships with an arrow up legend. Separate pictogram legends are available for arrow down (E/PIC/AL/AD), arrow left (E/PIC/AL/AL), and arrow right (E/PIC/AL/AR), allowing the stand to be adapted to suit the specific exit route direction without replacing the whole fitting.
How long does the battery take to recharge after a discharge?
The integrated LiFePO4 battery recharges to full capacity in less than 24 hours following a full 3-hour emergency discharge. An integral green LED on the unit provides a continuous charge status indication.
What are the installation requirements?
The Alpine requires a 220–240V 50Hz mains supply. It features both side and rear conduit entry points for flexible cable routing, and its lightweight polycarbonate housing is designed for straightforward surface or recessed installation in a range of commercial settings. The unit is rated for indoor use only, with an operating temperature range of 5°C to 40°C.
