Maintenance
Failed or faulty light sources connected to this equipment should be replaced immediately. These units are designed especially for a long and trouble free life
and, under normal conditions, will require no routine maintenance or service beyond the inspection and test regime of BS5266-1.
Both mains supply and battery protection fusing is incorporated internally. Should access to these or any other part of the circuitry be required this must be

Indicators of central power supply shall be visually inspected for correct operation.
Monthly:
(in addition to the daily check)
If automatic testing devices are used, the results of the short duration tests shall be recorded.
Test shall be carried out as follows:
a) Switch on in the Emergency mode each luminaire and each internally illuminated exit sign from its battery by simulation of a failure of supply to the
normal lighting for a period sufficient to ensure that each lamp is illuminated.
NOTE: The period of simulation failure should be sufficient for the purpose of this clause whilst minimising damage to the system components e.g lamps
During this period, all luminaires and signs shall be checked to ensure that they are present, clean and functioning correctly. At the end of this test period,
the supply to the normal lighting should be restored and any indicator lamp or device should be checked to ensure that is showing that the normal supply
has been restored.
Annually:
If automatic testing devices are used, the results of the short duration tests shall be recorded. For all other systems the monthly inspection shall be carried
out and the following additional tests made:
a) each luminaire and internally illuminated sign shall be tested Monthly as above but for its full duration in accordance with the manufacturer’s information;
b) the supply of the normal light shall be restored and any indicator lamp or device checked to ensure that it shows the normal supply has been restored.
The charging arrangements should be checked for proper functioning;
c) the date of the test and its results shall be recorded in the system logbook.
A copy of this report must accompany any fitting returned to the manufacturer for any reason.
