3.1. About the device
The rapid growth of LED technology within the lighting sector has created a need for suitable emergency lighting systems for
luminaires. Thanks to power control in emergency operation, the slim, transparent range of the EM converterLED product group offers
utmost flexibility for a number of combinations of LED light sources with LED Drivers by Tridonic and other renowned manufacturers.
As an LED Driver for non-maintained mode, EM converterLED is used in combination with standard and dimmable LED Drivers. It is
available as SELV and Non-SELV versions and with different functions. According to SELV classification, versions with a maximum
output voltage of 52V, 97V and 200V are available.
Available are versions for manual testing (BASIC), for selftests (ST) and DALI addressable devices (PRO) for automatically controlled
and monitored testing.
This document covers the selftest version (ST) of the portfolio. The PRO version is covered in a separate documentation (see
).

3.2. Testing of emergency systems
There are statutory requirements covering the testing of emergency systems in buildings accessible to the public. This includes that
testing must be carried out at a time of minimum risk, normally during unsocial hours, and must allow time for the batteries to be
recharged before the next expected occupancy of the building.
Without automated test systems all steps must be performed manually. This includes the initiation of the test by interrupting the
power supply, the visual inspection of each luminaire and the logging of all test results.
The emergency LED Driver EM converterLED ST enables automated selftesting with a number of advantages:
...
The EM converterLED ST covers the complete test procedure including error indication. This is possible without any
expensive, time-consuming testing procedures. Tests are therefore more reliable and cheaper.
_
The EM converterLED ST devices are designed to meet the requirements of IEC 62034 (Automatic test systems for battery
powered emergency escape lighting).
