
Function test ( value = 1%): Starts the function test of all DALI emergency lights
in this group, which support this function. For details on the DALI emergency
lighting function test see IEC 62386-202. If the Emergency interface is enabled the
nvoFuncTestFail will show whether the last function test performed has failed (see
below).

Duration test ( value = 2 %): Starts the duration test of all DALI emergency lights
in this group, which support this function. For details on the DALI emergency
lighting duration test see IEC 62386-202. If the Emergency interface is enabled the
nvoDurTestFail will show whether the last duration test performed has failed (see
below).

Mains test ( value = 100%): Typically used in a central battery system, to verify
lights are dimmed to the emergency level when mains fail. When the test is started
via
nviEmergTest , the power of the emergency lamps is cut by setting the switch
network variable output nvoPowerOff to ON. After the delays nciEmTestDelay , the
value of all lamps in the group is compared to the reference value specified in
nciEmTestValue . If a lamp does not reach the reference value (dim value above or
below reference value) or if a lamp is offline, an alarm is generated as shown in
Figure 214.
Test results will be stored in the appropriate emergency light test log (see Section 8.1.4). To
abort any active test the
SNVT_switch must be set to {SW_OFF, 0%}. To periodically
execute tests a scheduler controlling nviEmergTest can be configured. See Section 7.11.3 on
how to configure a scheduler.

If the interface configuration Emergency is selected the following additional, emergency
light related network variables are available:

nvoLARunHour (Lamp Actuator): Report run-hours per ballast.

nvoLABattCharge (Lamp Actuator): Report battery charge per emergency light
ballast (if ballast supports it).

nvoBatteryFail (Channel Actuator): Report battery failure for each emergency
light ballast.

nvoFuncTestFail (Channel Actuator): Report whether last function test failed for
each emergency light ballast.

nvoDurTestFail (Channel Actuator): Report whether last function test failed for
each emergency light ballast.
