-
Turn on power to the fixture. The lamp should be lighted at full power. The green LED should be on to indicate normal AC MAINS exist.
-
Regulatory compliance tests: After installed on a fixture for 60 hours, the lamp will perform a preprogrammed auto-test for 30 sec monthly and for 90 min annually. Written records documenting the testing must be maintained and available for review by local fire departments.

Manual test and system reset: Allow the lamp on the fixture for 24 hours. Press a test switch (TS) once within 3 seconds (see Fig. 2), the lamp will test for 30 sec. Press TS twice within 3 sec, the lamp will test for 90 min. If a built-in battery voltage is not sufficient, the green LED will flicker on for 1 sec and then off for 0.3 sec, continuing for 15 sec, to indicate that the manual test is prohibited. During the manual tests, press TS once to terminate. The original schedules of the preprogrammed auto-test will not be changed. If not responding, press and hold TS for 5 seconds to reset.
