Product Usage Instructions
Disabling Self-Diagnostic Feature
The self-diagnostic feature of the ILBLP CP07 is automatically active when shipped. However, it can be manually disabled if desired. Disabling the feature may be useful in applications where the testing sequence occurring during unwanted times is undesirable, such as in theaters, performance venues, or settings with tightly controlled lighting.
To disable self-diagnostics:
- Ensure the unit is in Charge mode (flashing or solid GREEN).
- Press the TBTS switch once and release.
- Press and hold the TBTS switch for 6 seconds.
- After releasing the switch, the TBTS will flash RED and then remain solid RED.
Enabling Self-Diagnostic Feature
To enable self-diagnostics:
- Ensure the unit is in Charge mode (flashing or solid GREEN).
- Press the TBTS switch once and release.
- After releasing the switch, the TBTS will flash GREEN and then remain solid GREEN.
Note: Regardless of whether self-diagnostics is enabled or disabled, facility owners must maintain compliance with testing and record-keeping requirements of emergency lighting equipment.

Technical Brief
Disabling the Self-Diagnostic Capability on the ILBLP CP07
The IOTA® ILBLP CP07 Emergency Driver delivers 7 watts of emergency power to
Class 2 LED luminaires. In the event of a loss of normal power, the ILBLP CP07
enables the designated fixture to provide egress illumination to help meet
Life Safety Code requirements.
Life Safety Code requires that emergency lighting devices are to be tested 30
seconds monthly and 90 minutes annually to help ensure readiness should a loss
of normal power occur. Additionally, any such emergency device must provide
both a means to test the equipment and a method for indicating charge status
of the device.
TBTS Test Accessory and Self-Diagnostics
Per code, the ILBLP CP07 includes a single-piece illuminating indicator – referred to as the TBTS (threaded body test switch) – that serves as both the test switch and charge indicator. The ILBLP CP07 also includes optional automatic monthly and annual self-diagnostics. The self-diagnostic feature means the ILBLP CP07 will invoke an automatic 30-second discharge test monthly and a 90-minute discharge test within a 12 month period, regardless of ON/OFF status of the luminaire. The schedule of the test is based on algorithmic programming at the time of manufacture and will vary from unit to unit. Even though testing is automated for the ILBLP CP07, manual testing can be initiated at anytime by pressing and holding the TBTS.
Applications for Disabling the Self-Diagnostic Feature
The self-diagnostic capability of the ILBLP CP07 is automatically active when shipped, but can be manually disabled if desired. Since the designated emergency fixture will illuminate during emergency testing, some applications may benefit from disabling the feature to avoid the testing sequence occurring at unwanted times. Examples of such an application would be within a theater, performance venue, or any setting where lighting is tightly controlled.
How to Disable/Enable Self-Diagnostics
Refer to the chart to the right for instructions on disabling or enabling the self-diagnostic feature using the TBTS test switch.
Note: Regardless of whether self-diagnostics is enabled or disabled, facility owners must maintain compliance with testing and record-keeping requirements of emergency lighting equipment.
