The European standard EN 50172 specifies the following check and tests:
- The user shall check the operation of the maintained luminaires daily
- The battery mode operation is tested once a month
- The full battery mode duration test shall be made once a year.
- The performed tests shall be marked to the log book of the emergency lighting system and
they shall be shown to the authorities if requested.
The fluorescent lamp of the luminaire must be changed when it is out of order. It is advisable
to make a group replacement of fluorescent lamps in the same location when 10% of the
lamps have reached the end of their lifetime.
In self contained units the battery shall be replaced when the specified duration time is not
achieved. In normal conditions the lifetime of the battery is min. 4 years.
The outer surface of the luminaire shall be cleaned reqularly.
Removing from usage
Batteries and fluorescent lamps are hazardous waste. Metal parts should be recycled as steel
or aluminium waste. Wires, connectors and circuit boards are electronics waste. Plastic parts
should be recycled according to the material markings of them.
POINTS TO NOTE WHEN INSTALLING -K OR -T TYPE
LUMINAIRES
- The luminaire types which have their type codes ending with -K or -T have an address
module for addressable testing of the luminaires. This feature can be used with the
Teknoware TK23xxC central battery unit. For this the address of the luminaire shall be
set before or during the installation.
- The luminaire types which have their type codes ending with -T are non-maintained
types which are compatible with the Local Controller TS906XX. They can be installed to
the same group with the maintained luminaires.
Setting the address
NOTE: THE ADDRESS SHALL BE NOT SET WHEN THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS
CONNECTED.
Setting the address takes place as follows:
Open the luminaire as for installation. Inside the luminaire there is an address module
TS9825X or power unit TMT0901, which has a code switch. The address can be set from 1 to
16 according to the instructions on the label of the address module. The address can be
chosen freely or according to the installation plan. However, care must be taken that each
luminaire in the same group has a different address. .
NOTE! However, you have to check
on your central battery unit, what is maximum address number.
