TelscapeTM is a photoluminescent Safety Way Guidance System (SWGS), designed to give means of escape guidance to occupants of buildings - particularly high rise structures.

In an emergency evacuation, when electrical lighting fails, Telscape will glow in the dark creating shafts of light that delineates hazards and gives confidence to escapees, guiding them to safety.

While emergency electrical lighting has its place, it is expensive to install and maintain. It suffers from reliability issues and is not particularly effective in smoke filled conditions.

Telscape can overcome these issues and could save up to 60% of escape route lighting costs.

Will aid the emergency services in navigating through the building.

Why Photoluminescent?

Photoluminescent materials have been around for many years but it is only in

the last couple of decades that their use has become widespread. The benefits

of “glow in the dark” substrates that emit light independent of direct electrical

input are obvious, and these products have been seized upon by the safety sign

industry for their simplicity and effectiveness as a means of directing people

away from danger in times of power failure.

The use of photoluminescent signage has been mandated in the marine industry

since the early 1990’s but the events of the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001 led to a

wave of legislation regarding its use in land applications. Reports from fire crews

attending the World Trade Centre indicated that the use of photoluminescent

paint in the emergency stairwells contributed to the fast and effective evacuation

of thousands of people when other systems had failed. The message was clear;

photoluminescent products saved people’s lives.

Standards The following standards are those most relevant to TELGLOW for use in

terrestrial applications.

BS ISO 16069:2017 Graphical Symbols – Safety Signs – Safety way guidance systems (SWGS)

A safety way guidance system coordinates a complex range of safety products in

order to provide a continuous and conspicuous, unbroken route to safety that

allows people to evacuate occupied areas with minimum risk. ISO 16069 indicates

when and where it is appropriate to use photoluminescent materials as part of

an SWGS and defines minimum performance requirements for this application.

DIN 67510 Phosphorescent Pigments and Products

This German standard is the industry norm for the measurement and

assessment of photoluminescent products. DIN 67510 Part 1 defines a method

where samples are exposed for 5 minutes to a Xenon light source delivering

1000lux of light energy. The light is extinguished and the afterglow measured

in millicandella’s per m² (mcd/m²) at defined time intervals, until extinction is

achieved at a level of 0.32 mcd/m².

DIN 67510 Part 4 defines performance levels and is used by ISO16069 to

specify minimum performance requirements. When tested to DIN 67510-1

the photoluminescent must have a minimum luminance, after withdrawal of

the excitation light source, of 20 mcd/² at 10 minutes, 2.8 mcd/² at 60 minutes

and a minimum time to 0.32mcd/m² of 340 minutes. This information is usually

annotated as follows: 20/2.8 – 340 / DIN67510-1.

Telglow™The Marine industry was one of the first international industrial group to embrace photoluminescent technology and it was through our Maritime Progress company that we brought ‘in-house’ the development and manufacture of Telglow.

It is now produced under the control of our chemical engineers in the Telegan Pressed Products plant in Manningtree, Essex.

Telglow comes in three grades class B C and D the latter being the highest grade providing greater luminosity.

In simple terms, the product absorbs light when available and discharges light in the darkness. It presents no fire risk is self-extinguishing and is non-toxic.

The Telscape range of PVC products can be supplied in the standard TelbexTM colours, including black (See End Caps at bottom of page for standard colour examples). Installation of the carrier is achieved by simply screwing through the extrusion into the desired surface or it can be fixed to the wall with a wide range of adhesives. Carriers and inserts can be cut and fitted but End caps may be necessary to give a complete finish.

End Caps End caps are also available for the carriers on request, they offer a simple yet stylish option to give the desired carrier a finished, professional look.

Available Colours Our Telbex PVC products are available in a range of colours. Approximate RAL colour references are shown (right). Also there are colour co-ordinated sign holders which can be matched to the escape route carrier to add quality to the installation. Colours can be used to differentiate between floor levels.

The Safety Rail features a wider PVC border than the standard carrier and has been designed to be positioned higher up the wall. The increased size and alternative placement allows TelglowTM Tactile Symbols to be added. These self-adhesive photoluminescent symbols can assist both the visually impaired and, in smoke conditions, the regular sighted to safety.

Kick Platewithout Telglow™ channel

Kick Plate - 170x2000mm

Utilizing the inherent properties of TelbexTM, this “Kick Plate” has been designed with the intention of protecting doors/surfaces from general wear and tear. In addition it can also be manufactured with a channel to accommodate one of the three classes of TelglowTM photoluminescent insert, enabling it to assist with evacuation route marking.

Enclosed Wall Carrier - Bespoke

It is our experience that some buildings have wall runs which are punctuated with doors and service ducts / columns and the installation is easier if the carrier is enclosed and completed to a given size(s).

FloorsWhere walls are obstructed and in large open areas where wall carriers are ineffective Telglow pathway matting, directional dot marking or tapes can assist in identifying the means of escape.

One of these products is walkway matting which incorporates photoluminescent “roadway” marking. This matting can also illuminate the placement of machinery, high light the area restricted to the operator and be part of a companies health and safety routine.

The flexible black PVC matting is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including dilute acids at room temperature, although there may be some discolouration of the surface. Due to its “rubbery” material, this PVC product is non-slip and reduces operator fatigue.

Matting is used in a wide variety of applications and responds very well but the user should always consult the material data sheets. These highlight the qualities of electrical resistance, anti-slip, resistance to chemicals, oils, oil with additive, aqueous solutions (organic and alkalis). They also warn against contaminates such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones etc.

It is recommended in BS ISO 16069:2017 that exit doors in areas of the escape route and final exit door should be delineated and opening devices highlighted with a phosphorescent (Telglow) material which also indicates opening instructions.

At each door there should be a pull or push pad in Telglow material using the Telscape tactile wayfinding symbols.

Each push/pull pad is supplied with one set of 4 tactile symbols.

There are a wide variety of signs available from our Signs for Safety catalogue.

When the lights fail, switches need to be delineated, particularly on 3 phase equipment which may still be working.

Utilizing a Telglow photoluminescent rolls (20mm wide) relevant Switches can be highlighted for both location and current position. Signage can then be added to identify the switch as well as indicating the relevant “off” position.

Fire Exit SWGS Fire Action Tapes

Compatible SignsWe would recommend at this time that for normal signage Telglow class B is adequate but for SWGS Telglow class C signage is required. Our Signs for Safety Book highlights the vast numbers of signs and products available in class B material but all of the products can be produced as specials in class C and D.

Examples of Signs for Safety Products

StairsStairs represent a serious slip and trip hazard during the evacuation of a building. The Telscape system incorporates the use of Telglow delineator strips in stair rails and stair nosing and Telscape tactile symbols will help guide vulnerable people escaping in smoke obscuring ‘blackout’ conditions. The photoluminescent element in these products allow them to be included as part of the BS ISO 16069: 2017 Safety Way Guidance System (SWGS) recommendation.

Replacing or installing new stair nosing can be an expensive option. We would advocate self adhesive rigid class C step delineation the size and shape to be determined at the time of quotation.

Place one tactile symbol prior to the start of the staircase on the transparent safety rail and then two on the handrail for two steps, angled for ascent or descent.

In order to quote please indicate the surface and material of the flooring (type and depth) and whether for interior or exterior use.

The wall carriers should be used to identify the stairs, start slope and finish with appropriate signage and tactile symbols (optional).

Safety rail and tactile guidance helps all people in smoke and darkness.
