6.1. Test times and test intervals
Devices of the EM converterLED ST series are tested via selftest function. The following table gives an overview of the parameters:

There are two variants for setting the test time. In some cases different rules apply for the
setting of the day and the time:
To prevent that the emergency lighting tests of all luminaires are carried out at the same time,
each luminaire has a pre-programmed code which delays the test time for a specified time (see
).

6.2. Commissioning test
The commissioning test is a first duration test. The relevant standard (IEC 62034: Automatic test systems for battery powered
emergency escape lighting) requires that such a test is carried out after the installation.
The commissioning test is often made more difficult because the power supply is switched on and off during the installation phase.
This is the case, for example, if the site is powered off at night for security reasons. To address this problem, the EM converterLED ST
monitors the power supply and will only start with the commissioning test if the power supply hasn't been interrupted for 5 days.
To prevent that all the luminaires perform the emergency test at the same time, each luminaire has a pre-programmed code with a
value of 1-28, which delays the test time of that luminaire for a specified time.
28 days after the start of the commissioning all devices will have completed the required commissioning test.
The day of the commissioning test serves as a reference point for all further function and duration tests (see
Test times and test
Automatic setting of the function test:
The time of the function test is the same as the time when the device was first
connected to the power supply (see (1) in above diagram), the day of the function test
is the same as the day when the commissioning test was carried out (see (5) in above
diagram and
).

Devices with code 1 will be tested one day after the completion of the 5 day long monitoring of the power supply (that is 6
days after the uninterrupted connection to the supply).
_
Devices with code 2 will be tested two days after the completion of the 5 day long monitoring of the power supply (that is 7
days after the uninterrupted connection to the supply).
_
Devices with higher code numbers will be tested with a delay that corresponds to that code number.
