TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the
TSPL
turns off the light on the
TSPL
and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupting power to the designated
A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the
P-320
unit. After releasing the
TSPL
, the fixture returns to normal operation
after a momentary delay.
Initial Testing
– Allow the unit to charge approximately 2 hours, then press the
TSPL
to conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24
hour charge before conducting a one hour test.
The
P-320
is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, outlines the
following schedule:
Monthly
– Insure that the
TSPL
is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the
TSPL
. One lamp should oper-
ate at reduced output.
Annually
– Insure that the
TSPL
is illuminated. Conduct a full 1½ hour discharge test. The unit should operate as intended for the
duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Consult Customer Service or visit www.iotaengineering.com for current warranty information.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
– A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The
P-320
is in the standby
charging mode. The
TSPL
will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
– The A.C. power fails. The
P-320
senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency
Mode
. One lamp is illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the
P-320
switches
the system back to the
Normal Mode
and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the Instruction Manual.
LAMP SELECTOR SWITCH
The
P-320
has a lamp selector switch that can be used to optimize the performance. Refer to the table below for the optimal setting
of the lamp selector switch for your lamp type.
