The EKG is more selected the Kim EKG to than just an outdoor lighting Al -1 1 Performance designed for application efficiency. the true test of any luminaire is how well it will perform in a specific installation. At Kim, we call this application efficiency. Pole spacing, total watts per square foot, uniformity of light, and visibility are the real virtues contributing to the "bottom line" in evaluating an outdoor luminaire. The EKG has been designed to provide true "bottom line" efficiency, and our Lighting Application Department can provide a computer analysis as evidence. Al -2 Performance and quality that pays for itself. 2 Maintained light output through sealed optics. Coupled with application efficiency is the ability to maintain light output on the site. After all, initial light output is of little consequence if it cannot be sustained over the years in an outdoor environment. Performance oriented fixtures lose efficiency and waste energy when their optical chambers are filled with dirt and insects. Since its inception, the EKG has been designed around totally sealed optical chambers. The results of this effort become readily apparent when comparing the Kim EKG with competitive luminaires in projects that have been several years in operation. The EKG is always substantially cleaner than any other fixture of comparable age. Rapid installation, easy maintenance, and adaptability to new technology. The old cliche time is money' was never more true than with today's high labor costs. Whether the task is installation or maintenance, it must be capable of being performed in a minimum of time with the least chance for error. The entire EKG fixture is constructed in self-contained sub -assemblies that provide for quick installation and maintenance. In addition, these sub -assemblies allowforeasy adaptation to new developments in lamp and ballast technology, to keep your EKG's operating at peak efficiency. There is no reason for an EKG to ever become out-of-date. E Materials and construction designed for longevity. From raw materials, to construction methods, to final coatings, there are no compromises in the production of an EKG. It must withstand wind, rain, snow, ice, wide temperature variation, bugs, dirt, polluted air, and vandalism throughout its useful life. There is no harsher environment than the outdoors, and only the best materials coupled with proven construction methods can stand the test of time. Kim's 50 years of experience in the outdoor lighting business is the basis for this philosophy. 101 l� Performance designed for application efficiency. See catalog A2 for complete photometrics and quick reference charts. 0F A WE �� Ll Fiji 1Ait► FAA r R��mmm-- WONMIN AFor roadway lighting, the EKG has been designed to provide near uniform coverage from curb to curb. Typical street widths range from 1 to 2 mounting heights, and the EKG will provide substantially the same light level from the near curb directly across to the far curb. In addition, houseslde light levels remain strong in back of the curb far enough to light sidewalks. BFor parking lot lighting, you need the light qualities of "A" plus a strong thrust of light at the 45° diagonals. This diagonal illumination means substantially greater pole spacings because the light level at the midpoint between any 4 poles remains high. Also, the 2:1:2 light ratio (illustration #1) as described in "D" provides an ideal geometry for efficient parking lot lighting. CThe quality of illumination from the EKG is easily evaluated from the isolux line pattern. The overall even spacing between lines, with no abrupt changes, means a totally smooth pattern on the ground. There are no hot spots, spikes, or dead areas to destroy uniformity and pole spacing. The EKG light pattern is totally smooth and uniform in all areas. D The 2:1:2 light ratio from 0° to 45° to 90° is ideal for parking lot lighting, and is closely met by the EKG light pattern. This means that the 5 midpoints between any 4 equally spaced poles, have almost the same light value. The result is greater pole spacings as allowed by higher light levels at the critical midpoints between poles. See plan view illustration of atypical parking lot layout below. (illustration #1) Al -3 The optical chamber is the heart of any high performance luminaire. It determines the performance both initially, and over years of operation. If this chamber gets dirty for any reason, performance is lost and energy wasted. The EKG optical chamber is the most meticulously sealed chamber in the industry. It is sealed from both the outside and inside to assure maintained performance year after year. Maintained light output through sealed optics. I t I I t L — — — — ---J The most common place for contaminants to enter the optical chamber is at the reflector flange. To prevent this, the EKG reflector is hydroformed in one piece with a homogeneous flange. Against this flange, a one-piece molded gasket exerts uniform pressure around the perimeter. Of particular importance are the 4 corners, where a one-piece gasket is the only way to insure a lasting seal. places where dirt, insects, and polluted air try to enter the optical chamber. Critical points where the optical chamber must be sealed. Contaminants can also enter the optical chamber where the glass lens is held in is frame. To prevent this, the EKG gasket completely surrounds the glass; interlocks with the frame extrusion and exerts constant pressure against the glass edge. A floating hinge permits the 4 quarter -turn fasteners to provide equal pressure around the gasket. No hinge or latch gimmicks are used because they are unreliable and will ultimately fail. The EKG latch system is basic and reliable. r Unless the fixture, arm, and pole, are totally sealed at every joint, contaminants can also enter the optical chamber from within. A one-piece reflector allows sealing from the inside because only the socket and wire penetrations need to be gasketed. Segmented optical systems cannot be sealed from the inside. C Rapid installation and easy maintenance. Because the EKG is totally modular, Installation and maintenance can be performed quickly and easily. With the door frame and ballast assembly removed, the housing is easily installed to the pole and the wire leads fed to the pole top. The ballast assembly is quickly mounted on slip hinges and connected to the field wires and socket leads using quick -disconnect plugs. This procedure is simply reversed for ballast replacement allowing a minimum of expense for a lift truck. The lens frame is snapped into the housing and secured by the captive quarter -turn latches. No further work is required on the fixture once the pole is raised. Adaptability to new technology. With energy a growing national concern. there is no doubt that major advances in lamp, ballast, and reflector technology will take place within the next decade. The EKG is designed to be upgraded to these new advances through simple replacement of modular components. There is no reason for an EKG to ever become obsolete or inefficient. It is truly a lifetime investment. 3 Rapid installation, easy maintenance, and adaptability to new technology. i Al -4 Al -5 The EKG housing is fabricated using a one-piece side wall extrusion for superior strength and a clean crisp appearance. The extrusion contour includes integral ribs to interlock with the housing top and also assure a proper seal with the lens frame. Extrusions will not "oil can" like sheet metal housings and are Ideal for accepting optional anodized finishes. The EKG housing is sealed on the outside and inside with the finest silicone sealants available. The sealant is virtually unaffected by weather - including rain, sleet, snow, UV, ozone, and extreme temperatures. Aging tests in Florida have shown almost no change in physical properties after 15 years exposure. Weatherometer acceleration tests indicate a possible 150 year life. Al -6 4 Materials and construction designed for longevity. The EKG housing is comprised of fully mitered heavy wall sections that are internally welded using high speed metallic inert gas welders. Excellent weld penetration is achieved creating a super strong housing, impervious to heavy wind loads. Kim pioneered the first one-piece hydroformed reflectors for cut-off lighting in 1972. After years of field operation, these reflectors have remained virtually unchanged by heat, UV, or periodic cleaning. Hydroforming provides superior strength, dimensional stability, and creates a one-piece optical chamber capable of being tightly sealed. All EKG reflectors are Alzak® plated for long term protection of the mirror finish. Every Kim fixture is hand detailed to assure proper fit and aesthetic quality, and all housings are satin polished as a base for either painted or anodized finishes, All fasteners, hinges, latches, and clips are made of the best materials, and are plated, when necessary to protect against rust. Each component is assembled by personnel trained not only in assembly procedures, but quality control as well. Before packaging, every piece of hardware on the EKG is tested to assure proper alignment and function. All electric components used in Kim EKG fixtures are UL listed. They are mounted, pre -wired to quick -disconnect plugs, and tested at the Kim factory. These electrical sub -assemblies provide for rapid installation and maintenance, and will ultimately permit the luminaire to be easily upgraded for new lamp technology. The overall modular construction of the EKG is an example of industrial design at its finest. It seems so simple and right as to be effortless. But behind its design lies a wealth of design and engineering sophistication found in no other fixture. It is truly the finest high performance cut-off luminaire obtainable. Ask for a Sample! Kim has been manufacturing and shipping the EKG since 1972. Sincethattime, there have been many manufacturers who have entered into making versions of the Kim unit in various forms and materials. The only way to determine whether you are specifying or purchasing the finest luminaire available is to make atable-top comparison. At Kim, we support this procedure and are anxious to furnish a sample for this purpose. In making an examination, we suggest the following check list against competitive units: 1. Is the housing made of a one-piece extrusion? 2. Is the housing rigidly welded and sealed with a proven sealant? 3. Is all the hardware plated to prevent rust? 4. Is the reflector hydroformed in one-piece? 5. Is the entire optical chamber sealed both from the outside as well as the inside? The Final Test r,. 6. Is the lens gasket one-piece? 7. Does the lens frame apply uniform gasket pressure around the reflector lip? 8. Are the electrical components mounted and pre -wired as a sub -assembly? 9. Is the door frame and electrical sub -assembly easily removable for installation and maintenance? C -r``- 1 10. Are the components capable of being retrofitted for new technology without excessive labor? 11. Are the fixture and mounting details clean? 12. Are the phctometrics provable from independent testing laboratory reports? 13. Does the manufacturer have financial responsibility to back the product? 14. Do you get an overall feeling of quality?
