The GR-8600 central emergency lighting system is made to operate without the continuous supervision from the
user. The function test as well as the autonomous durations test can be programmed to be executed automatically.
The building attendant can see the results at any time. If no errors are logged, then he does not have to take any
actions. If any error is observed then he can fix it or he can consult an electrician, depending on the cause. The
user has a variety of options to manually inspect the whole system whenever required.
When the panel is in normal operation the screen on the right is shown. Also
the indicators POWER, CHARGE and zones’ POWER are lit. (for indicators
see par. 3).
If for any reason you need to disable emergency operation (i.e. during closed
periods of hotels), press the INHIBIT key. The indicator INHIBIT is lit and the
screen should look like the image on the right. To exit INHIBIT mode simply
press again the INHIBIT key.
Note that if the inhibit key is disabled from the technician menu, then there
will be no response on pressing.
5.1 Operation using the keypad
5.1.1 Current faults
By pressing the “Enter” key you enter the user MENU as shown in the screen
on the right. If faults have been detected in the system, then the first option
would be CURRENT FAULTS. All the options except the TECHNICIAN
MENU are available to the user. For tech menu entry the technician code is
needed and should be accessed only by authorized personnel.
If there is a CURRENT FAULTS option and you press “Enter” you can see
the screen on the right. If you select RESET FAULTS and press “Enter” the
panel resets all the current faults (and logs them into the memory).
If you select SHOW FAULTS and press “Enter” you can see a screen as in
the image on the right. When an error is displayed there is always a “Χ” on
the top left corner that blinks. To the right with bold characters you can see
the source of the fault (In our case Zone 4). Under the blinking “X” you can
see the name of the zone (underground) followed by a detailed description.
On the last line you can see the number of the fault to the total faults. With
the up/down arrow keys you can navigate through the faults. With the “Esc”
key you go to the previous menu.
