This unit meets the requirements of NFPA 101 for Periodic Testing of Emergency
Lighting Equipment. It provides visual indication of unit malfunctions including:
SELF-TESTING / SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
Battery Fault
Charger Fault
Transfer Fault
Lamp Fault
Door Fault
SELF-TEST
An automatic self-test and diagnostic function will be performed every 28 days. A load
test will be performed for 30 seconds checking for a lamp, battery or transfer fault. On
every forth test, the load test will follow a door function test, during which the door will
open for approximately 1 second and then close, without the lamps turning on. This
automatic self-test and diagnostic function will be performed only if the battery is fully
charged. If not, the test will automatically reschedule. The charger function is
monitored continuously.
USER-TEST
A manual USER-TEST can be performed for 30 seconds or 90 minutes. By pushing the
“TEST” Switch for 1 second, the door will open and the lamps will illuminate for 30
seconds. If the “STATUS” indicator shows GREEN indicating a fully charged Battery and
the Switch is pushed for 4 seconds, the door will open and the lamps will illuminate for
90 minutes. If the Battery is not fully charged, the 30 second test will run.
In either mode, the USER-TEST can be cancelled by pushing and holding the “TEST”
Switch for 1 second after the lamps con on.
LAMP LOAD LEARN
The self-diagnostic system “learns” the lamp load during the first test. Subsequent tests
compare the measured lamp load during the test to the learned lamp load values.
CLEARING FAILURE INDICATIONS
Failure indications can be cleared by correcting the indicated fault and pushing and
holding the “TEST” Switch for 1 second.
STATUS INDICATIONS
Status indications for the self-testing / self-diagnostic system are shown on the
following page.
