Functions in emergency operation

c

17 / 38

5.4. Indicator LED

System status is locally indicated by a bi-colour indicator LED.

LED indication

Status

Description

Permanent GREEN

Standby, System OK

Mains operation, battery is charged

Fast flashing GREEN
(0,1 s on - 0,1 s off)

Function test underway

 

Slow flashing GREEN
(1 s on - 1 s off)

Duration test underway

 

Double pulsing
GREEN

Inhibit mode is
activated

The Inhibit mode makes it possible to set the emergency mode to "inhibited"; in this
mode, the power can be turned off without switching to emergency mode.

The Inhibit mode is activated by sending the inhibit signal, while the modules are still
connected to mains. Just as in Rest mode, the device supports the Relight functions.
After a break of 15 minutes, the inhibit mode is automatically reset.

Permanent RED

Lamp failure

Open circuit -or- Short circuit -or- LED failure

Fast flashing RED
(0,1 s on - 0,1 s off)

Charging failure

Incorrect charging current

I

NOTICE

After an exchange of the LED module, the indicator LED remains permanent
RED. The lamp failure indication remains set until a function test has been
successfully completed (automatically with the weekly function test or
immediately by briefly interrupting the power supply or by manually starting
the function test with a test switch (see 

)). 

Starting the function test

, p. 23

The LED module's mains operation does not reset the lamp failure indication.

I

NOTICE

While the battery is in trickle charge mode and the mains supply is connected,
the micro controller in the emergency unit monitors the charging parameters. If
an error is detected or a parameter is out of tolerance, the indicator LED
switches to fast flashing RED. If the error has been corrected, the indicator LED
immediately switches back to GREEN and continues the charging operation of
the battery.
