Emergency Operation and Test
It is important to test ArcSystem ArcLamp emergency systems regularly because they are life
safety devices. NOT SELF-TESTING PER ANSI/NFPA 101 - This equipment is not self-testing in
conformance with the Life Safety Code, ANSI/NFPA 101. ANSI/NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
requires testing of life safety devices every 30 days.
To test the emergency functionality of this device, disconnect the sense circuit.
WARNING:
RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all
power to the system before installation, maintenance, cleaning, or any
other system modification could result in serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT :
RISQUE DE MORT PAR DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE!
Négliger de débrancher toutes les sources d’alimentation du système avant
l’installation, l’entretien, le nettoyage ou toute autre modification du
système peut causer des blessures graves ou la mort.
De-energize main feed to ArcSystem ArcLamp and follow appropriate
Lockout/Tagout procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E. It is important to
note that electrical equipment such as breaker panels can present an arc
flash hazard if improperly serviced. This is due to the high amounts of short-
circuit current available on the electrical supply to this equipment. Any
work must comply with OSHA Safe Working Practices.
CAUTION:
This equipment is provided with more than one supply source. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency
sources within this unit before servicing any equipment connected to this unit.
Cet équipement possède plus d’une source d’alimentation. Pour réduire les
risques de décharge électrique, débrancher les sources d’alimentation normale
et de secours dans l’unité avant de faire l’entretien d’un équipement branché
à cette unité.
