Testing
The operation of the luminaire shall be verified according to the requirements of the
authorities. The battery duration of the self-contained types can be tested, by switching off
mains supply voltage.
Periodical checks and maintenance
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. Outer surface of the luminaire must be cleaned
regularly. In luminaires equipped with LED the light source should be changed when
luminance no longer meets the requirements of standard EN 1838.
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 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.
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 TYPE LUMINAIRES
The luminaire types that have their codes ending with -K are compatible with Teknoware
Control central battery unit with addressable testing. These types of luminaries must be set up
according to manual before installation. Neutral line of the luminaire groups shall not be
grounded in any case.
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
TST1401B, 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.
