Self-Test/Self-Diagnostics (G2)
Operation
The purpose of this option is to provide Self-testing and Self-diagnostic capabilities to the EXIT sign. At predetermined
intervals, the EXIT sign will automatically switch into battery mode. Refer to the
Self-Test Features
section
of this page
for timing details. The EXIT sign will also perform various Self-diagnostic tests of the EXIT sign. The circuitry continuously
monitors the operating condition of the EXIT sign and battery charging circuit. Visual signaling will alert maintenance
personnel to a fault of the EXIT sign electronics, emergency lamps, battery, and/or battery charger. Refer to the
LED
Indicator
section below for fault reporting details.
