1.6 VDE instructions for the Netlight system (VDE 0711-400 / EN 62034)

For the functional test in accordance with EN 62034 3.6, a light test must be carried out in the Netlight system and then a device test.

The Netlight-quattro control unit with integrated ATS (Automatic Test System) can be used in accordance with EN62034 4.1 for emergency lighting of type ER /PER.

The maximum system size of Netlight-quattro depends on the setting of the address mode of 99 devices in a module bus in Netlight system. Alternatively up to 32x systems can be

operated via the visualization software on an Ethernet network. 4 circuits (max. 80 luminaires) per system

In accordance with EN 62034 4.1, we point out that no LB1/LÜ1 luminaire modules can be used in Netlight quattro!
Current modulating electronic ballasts can be used in systems with MSÜ luminaire modules.

The timing circuit (EN 62034 4.2) is a component of the Netlight-quattro control unit's firmware. In case of processor crash the system program is reset by a Watch_Dog_IC, which
ensures immediate and correct continuation. The switching times are stored in the non-volatile memory.

(Refer to the information in this instruction manual for service under point 8.1)

During the Netlight-quattro functional test, even a longer one, only approx. 1% of the battery of the Netlight system is used up; this value is far below the 10% required according

to EN 62034 5.1, so that it is not necessary to defer a test after power failure. Test operations are blocked in case of battery undervoltage and emergency operation.

The automatic test of the total measurement duration of the system required under EN 62034 5.2 is not available for the Netlight system, as it cannot be estimated whether an

event or other activities requiring the operational readiness of the Netlight system will be carried out at this point in time. Instead, the Netlight system provides a fault message

(programmable date) which is activated after a 1-year period (with repeat function) and can only be deactivated by a service technician.

The Netlight ATS ensures the battery of the Netlight system is hardly used up for testing purposes.

Netlight timers are operated by quartz-controlled clock circuits and therefore exhibit quartz accuracy.

The time control function is secured in the Netlight-quattro itself by means of a backup battery, which must be replaced every 5 years as a precaution, see section 8.1.

The limited endurance test EN 62034 6.3.3.4 is started manually in Netlight-quattro with an endurance test (see section 7.7) and is then terminated after 2/3 of the time by pressing

the OK key. Such a termination is not considered an error by the system, but is documented in the test report with date, time and battery data (U/I).

All defect reports from test operations cannot be deleted by actions, but only by successfully passing the next test. This also applies to luminaire faults. Even if the endurance test is

interrupted due to a power failure or deep discharge, the error message is still shown on the display; only a successful new test deletes the error message.
