INSTRUCTION FOR SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Introduction
Once the unit is properly installed according to the Installation instruction sheet and AC power is supplied, the EXIT will come ON. The dual-color LED indicator will also come ON, automatically initiating the self-diagnostic test function. The LED indicator points out the current unit status. A STEADY GREEN on the LED indicator indicates a normal service; BLINKING GREEN indicates that the unit is in testing mode; GREEN/RED FLASHING indicates that the battery is charging; RED (STEADY and BLINKING) would indicate a fault or a service alert. Refer to section 3- Fault Indication for more details. The LED indicator would be OFF when the unit is in Emergency mode.
Self Diagnostic Service
The self-diagnostic function is factory preset without any field adjustment. The automatic self-diagnostic feature serves the following tests-
- On-line real time monitoring of battery and LED(s): identifies battery charging, disconnection and failure along with LED failures.
- Self-testing and a 30-second discharge once every 30 days (conforming to NFPA code requirements), after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Self-testing and a 30-minute discharge once every 180 days, after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Self-testing and a 90-minute discharge once every 365 days (conforming to NFPA code requirements), after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.

Operation
During an electrical power failure, the LED strip will transfer into Emergency mode and stay LIT for a minimum of 90 minutes. To test this unit, the battery needs to be charged initially for 2 hours before depressing the test switch (to do manual test). On pressing the test switch, the LED strip will transfer into a SIMULATED Emergency mode with the LED indicator FLASHING/BLINKING Green. The LEDs will turn OFF after 30 seconds/30 minutes/90 minutes respectively.
