Canalis lighting benefits :

simple
to design
characteristics are known and guaranteed by construction
catalogue to choose the product, check the voltage drop
quick quotation sheet
to install
prefabricated concept
simple and quick mounting
screws that cannot be lost
Preparation of luminaires at ground level
4 components needed to carry out an installation

16

Canalis lighting benefits

property and people safety
The quality of installation does not depend upon the operator's skills

mechanical & electrical connections are made automatically in a

single movement

quality of electrical contacts : tin-plated copper

at junctions

at tapping spots

safe electrical junctions

safe tap off units

prefabricated and guided mounting (instructions for use)

modifications are possible under load

protection against direct electrical contact

17

Canalis lighting benefits

flexibility, upgradeability, continuity of service
important modifications are possible

moving luminaires or adding new ones is easy as they are simply

plugged into the nearest available tap-off outlet

changing the switching is easily achieved by connection to the

different conductors by phase selection system

materiel that can be dismantled and reassembled : modification of

plant installation

evolution with continuity of service : plug in tap offs while the busway
is live

18

Canalis lighting benefits

a total quality
conformity to IEC 439-2 standard
control of the production process (ISO 9000)
all components are tested
tin-plated copper contacts :

at junctions

at tap off outlets

conformity to ISO 14001 environment standard

Lighting study : 3 opportunities

do the lighting study : see basic lighting concept training
use the quick estimation :
total luminous flux estimation F = 2 x S (m) x E (lux)

E = 150 lux for warehouses, 300 lux for industrial buildings

& 500/800 lux for hypermarkets

determine the number of 2 x 58 W fluorescent tube : nbr = F / 10000

balance the luninaires on runs
use the receipt
distance between runs & fluorescent tubes

warehouses 6 m

5 / 6m

industrial buildings

5m

2 / 3m

hypermarkets

4m

1.5 / 2m

Remark : for high buildings, > 6m

the solution is often with fluorescents lamps
distance between runs = distance between lamps = installed heigh
