TESTING and MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Emergency lighting systems should be tested in accordance with
NFPA 101 or as often as local codes require, to ascertain that all
components are operational.
NOTE: Allow batteries to charge for 24 hours before initial testing.

Clearing a failure indication:

After a failure condition has been corrected and power is restored
to the unit, clear the failure indication either by pressing the
“TEST” button once or by using the RTKIT (remote tester
accessory, up to 40

’ away).

Manual testing:

If the batteries are sufficiently charged, either press and release
the

“TEST” button or use the RTKIT (remote tester accessory, up

to 40

’ away for SDRT) on the bottom of the unit to activate a 60-

second test, during which the lamps will turn on. Triggering either
option a second time will enable a 90-minute tests indicated by 5
flashes of the lamps.

Triggering either option a third time will

disable manual testing.

Self-Diagnostics (SD option)

Units with this option automatically perform a 5-minute self-
diagnostic test of the charging electronics, battery, and lamps
every 30 days, and a 90-minute test every year, indicating system
status as shown in the table at right. First self test occurs after 15
days of continuous AC Power.

Postponing a self-test:

If an automatic self-test occurs at a time when it is not desirable
for the unit lamps to be on, it can be postponed for 8 hours either
by pressing and releasing the

“TEST” button or by using RTKIT

(remote tester accessory, up to 40

’ away).

Cancelling emergency operation:

While in emergency mode, press and hold the

“TEST” button for

several seconds or activate using the RTKIT (remote tester
accessory, up to 40

’ away), during which the status indicator will

flash until the lamps turn off. This restores the AC reset state in
which the unit is shipped.

Load-Learning feature:

Self-Diagnostic units automatically

‘learn’ their total connected

lamp load during the first scheduled self-test (~15 days) or the first
manual test after the battery is fully charged. The learned value
can be reset by pressing and holding the

“TEST” button for 7

seconds (count flashes), during this period the lamps will turn on.
After 7 seconds, release the button, the lamps will turn off within 2
seconds indicating learn reset complete. If lamps stay on longer,
learn reset was not successful. This manual learn reset feature
should be performed whenever the total connected lamp load of
the unit is changed, or a lamp is replaced. A new learned value
will be stored during the next discharge from a fully charged state.

NOTE: Manual load-learning functions cannot be initiated if there
is inadequate charge in the batteries. If this is so, wait until the unit
indicates full battery charge (solid green status indication) before
initiating the manual load-learning function.
NOTE:

The remote tester should not be used to initiate the load

Learning feature.

Unit Status Indications
The

“TEST”

button illuminates to indicate the following

conditions:

Remote Test (SDRT):

(RTKIT sold separately)

Units with the self-diagnostics/remote test feature allows
manual test activation using a laser pointer. Aim the laser
beam straight onto the circular area labeled near the

“TEST”

button for a few moments to activate a 60-second test. (See
also

“Manual testing”) A test in progress may be cancelled

by aiming the beam at the test area again.

NOTE:

The

remote tester should not be used to initiate the load learning
feature.
