OPERATION CHECKS
- Periodic testing should be carried out to ensure emergency lighting is operating correctly. Interruption of the supply, causing the fitting to be energised from the battery, should be carried out by the operation of a local keyswitch or other isolation device.
- During this period all fittings should be examined visually to ensure that they are functioning correctly. At the end of the test period the supply shall be restored and all indicator lamps or devices checked to ensure that the normal supply has been restored.
DAILY:
- Visual inspection of the battery charge LED.
EACH MONTH:
- Isolate the power supply for a period sufficient to ensure that each lamp is illuminated. Endorse the test record form supplied.
ONCE EACH YEAR:
- Isolate the power supply and check that the light is still illuminated after 3 hours. Endorse the test record form.
- Because of the possibility of a failure of the normal lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of testing of the emergency lighting system or during the subsequent recharge period, all full duration tests shall wherever possible be undertaken preceding time of low risk to allow for battery recharge.
- NOTE: please keep this instruction booklet and the test record in a safe place. A fire officer or other authorised person may want to see your record of inspection and testing.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The control gear must be operated only within the enclosure supplied. The gear must not be operated outside of the enclosure.
- The battery charging circuit and control gear are separated from the mains by at least basic (single layer) insulation.
- When energised by a constant mains supply, the battery will be constantly charged whether or not the lamp is illuminated. On failure of the constant mains supply, the fitting will switch automatically using transistorised switching from battery charging to battery discharge powering the lamp whether or not the lamp was illuminated before the power failure. Both the mains and battery supplies incorporate fuse protection, see fitting for location and rating.
