SELF-DIAGNOSTICS TESTING
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 —a. On-line real-time monitoring of battery, lamps, and LED(s): Identifies battery charging, disconnection, and failure along with LED failures. b. 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. c. Self-testing and a 30-minute discharge once every 180 days, after AC power, has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours. d. 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.
Fault Indication
| Fault Description | LED Indication |
|---|---|
| Battery Disconnection | STEADY Red |
| Battery Recharge Failure* | FLASHING Red |
| Battery Failure** | Red BLINKING ‘2’ times |
| LED Failure | Red BLINKING ‘3’ times |
| LAMP Failure | Red BLINKING ‘4’ times |
| Remote lamp Failure | Red BLINKING ‘5’ times |
- A battery recharge failure will come up if the battery is NOT able to recharge within the 24hrs charging time ** A battery failure will come up if the battery is NOT able to operate the LED strip/lamps for the period of a discharge test
