Emergency Luminaire Maintenance, Commissioning & Fault Finding Guide
BATTERY STORAGE/CARE DETAILS Optimal storage conditions (when not in service
and batteries disconnected)
· NiCd +5°C to 25°C (6 months onsite maximum) · NiMh +5°C to 25°C (3 months
onsite maximum) · LiFEP04 +5°C to 25°C (6 months onsite maximum)
Old batteries must be handled and disposed of by specialist disposal experts.
Under no circumstances should they be pierced or incinerated. Do not put the
luminaire into emergency mode until the batteries are fully charged
MAIN CAUSES FOR PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE: 1)Over cycling of batteries for
example caused by an unstable mains supply. Batteries are designed to carry
out 3 4 full discharges per year. Over cycling will reduce the capacity and
hence life. 2)Leaving connected batteries in a discharged state (maximum 2
weeks). 3)High ambient temperatures (greater than the ambient specified by
Whitecroft lighting) 4)Repeated partial discharging and recharging of
batteries (memory effect)
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES Power to energise emergency luminaires can come from
integral batteries within the luminaire (self-contained) or from a remote
Central Battery system or Static Inverter. This power supply is intended to
energise the emergency circuit within any emergency luminaire upon failure of
the normal supply.
Integral battery emergency luminaires indicate `batteries are charging’
generally by use of an indicator LED mounted in a visible location on the
luminaire. When the indicator LED is solid green, the batteries are charging.
Emergency luminaires generally have internal supply connections: Permanent
Live (orange), Switched Live (brown), Neutral (blue), and Earth
(green/yellow).
TESTING REGIME As detailed in BSEN50172:2004 (BS5266-8:2004)
· Monthly function test (30s) to check luminaires are functioning correctly
(unless detailed differently in commissioning procedure) · Annually full
duration test to check the luminaires are functioning correctly and meet their
full duration · Emergency testing results must be documented and be available
for inspection.
FAULT FINDING Inspection / fault finding work must be carried out by a
suitably electrically qualified person. Initial checks must include continuity
of fuses and integrity of internal/external wiring. Please read BATTERY
STORAGE/CARE details in this leaflet before continuing.
CAUTION: Even if the power supply to the emergency luminaire may be
disconnected, there may still be high voltages inside the fitting. Disconnect
batteries when maintaining internal wiring.
A. LED indicator non-operational and does not work in Emergency mode.
Check that the permanent 230v supply is present in the luminaire.
Check the batteries are properly connected.
Replace the batteries with known working units.

If the luminaire still does not function please call Whitecroft Technical.
E. Luminaire will not last 3 hour duration test.
Check that the batteries have been charged for at least 24 to fully charge
Check that the Switched and Permanent Supplies are correctly connected.
Replace the batteries with known working units.
Replace the inverter ensuring you change it `wire for wire’.
If the luminaire still does not function please call Whitecroft Technical.
EMERGENCY LUMINAIRE COMMISSIONING Battery activation
· For new NiCd, NiMh & LiFEP04 batteries activation of the cell is required to ensure specified design life. · If the emergency luminaire does not pass the initial 3hr duration test a further full charge and discharge cycle may be required to activate the battery chemistry.
PROCEDURE
STANDARD EMERGENCY
Connect the battery once a stable mains supply is present
Allow the battery to charge for a period of 24hrs
Perform a full manual discharge test (minimum 3 hrs.)
If the emergency luminaire does not pass the initial 3hr duration test a further full charge and duration test (this test can be used as the scheduled EM test)
If the luminaire does not pass 3 hour test contact Whitecroft Technical for assistance.
EASY-TEST/SELF-TEST
Connect the battery once a stable mains supply is present
Allow the emergency luminaire to complete its self-commissioning phase which charges the battery for 24hrs, followed by a 3hr duration test.
If the luminaire successfully completes this test, the indicator LED will be solid green
If the emergency luminaire does not pass the initial 3hr duration test, allow the battery to charge a further 24hrs and then do a manual 3hr duration test
If the luminaire fails this duration test then contact Whitecroft Technical for assistance
DALI TEST 1. 2.
3. 4.
Connect the battery once a stable mains supply is present Allow the emergency luminaire to complete its self-commissioning phase which charges the battery for 24hrs, followed by a 3hr duration test. If the luminaire successfully completes this test, the indicator LED will be solid green OR if a DALI bus is connected and the luminaire has been commissioned the self-commissioning duration test can be stopped and a scheduled duration test can be performed using DALI commands. If the emergency luminaire does not pass the 3hr duration test, allow the battery to charge a further 24hrs and then do a manual 3hr duration test If the luminaire fails this duration test then contact Whitecroft Technical for assistance.
EMERGENCY COMEPS DALI TEST
Application Low profile emergency lighting module with DALI interface and
automatic testing facility to cover 3 hour duration operating from batteries.
DALI interface terminals are provided to allow control and monitoring via a
separate controller. With no DALI bus connected the unit operates in self-test
mode with testing being conducted on a weekly functional and 52 week duration
basis with adaptive duration testing feature to minimise risk. Fitted with the
unique easy addressing feature which uses the LED to indicate the DALI address
during commissioning.
Monitoring DALI interface for controlled monitoring and reporting. During
operation the battery, lamp and charge conditions are monitored along with
functional and duration testing. In the event of failure the bi-coloured LED
will indicate the nature of the fault. This it will continue to do until the
fault has been remedied. The testing regime will then continue.
Testing When a DALI bus is not connected or when a command has not been
received the COMEPS will operate in the self testing mode and will conduct
tests in accordance with the default times stored in the EEPROM. However it
should be noted that in this case the delay time is set as default zero and
all units could test at the same time. Test times can be changed with a
command over the DALI bus.
Addressing The COMEPS includes the easy addressing system which allows
addressing and identification by using the bi-colour LED in conjunction with
the COMEPS ADDRESS tool. Binary address codes given by the LED can be simply
converted to the DALI addresses 0 to 63. For single handed addressing using
this method it is necessary to send a broadcast ident command every 3 to 9
seconds. During this command the main fluorescent lamp will be switched off
and the LED will flash the 6 bit binary address preceded by a 3 second start
indication period.
Functional test The time of day and frequency of the 30 seconds function test
can be set by the DALI controller. If the COMEPS unit is not connected to a
DALI bus or has not received a DALI command the test will default to 30
seconds duration on a weekly basis.
Duration test Test times can be set by the DALI controller. If the COMEPS unit
is not connected to a DALI bus or has not received a DALI command the test
will be conducted every 52 weeks.
Prolong time Prolong time can be set by the DALI controller. This is the delay
time between return of the mains supply and the end of the emergency
operation. The default prolong time is set as 0 minutes as specified within
the DALI standard.
Battery Recommended charge time is min. 24h. Battery should be fully charged
before any emergency tests are performed.

DALI LUMINARES CONNECTIONS FOR COMEPS AND DALI LUMINAIRES
Note: It is imperative to add the links shown below if using DALI dimming and
emergency test on the same addressable control circuit.
ORGANIC RESPONSE LUMINAIRE WITH COMEPS (DALI) LUMINAIRE CONNECTIONS The
luminaire is supplied with terminal connections for both the COMEPS inverter
and Organic Response node. The Organic response terminal are supplied with the
connections blocked to stop inadvertent connection. If the luminaire is to be
used for emergency reporting on the Organic Response Portal system, then the
terminations should be unblocked and connected as below.
EASY TEST
Application Whitecroft Easytest is an intelligent testing system, which can
monitor and test self-contained emergency lighting luminaires. The system
tests luminaires in line with current legislation for self-contained non-
maintained emergency applications with battery duration up to 3 hours.
Intelligence The easytest unit is a stand-alone intelligent module, which can
be integrated into virtually any Whitecroft emergency luminaire. Each
intelligent luminaire has EITHER a bi-coloured LED OR TWO LED’s to indicate
unit on test’ orfailure’ diagnostic information in addition to `battery
charging’. Monitoring During operation the battery, lamp and charge conditions
are monitored along with functional and duration testing. In the event of
failure the LED (s) will indicate the nature of the fault until the fault has
been remedied. The testing regime will then continue. AUTOMATIC TESTING
Commissioning Test A full commissioning test is carried out automatically
after permanent connection of the supply. The easy commissioning feature will
set the initial test day and time to ensure random testing of units.
Functional Test Functional tests are carried out for 30 seconds on a weekly
basis. Duration Test A full duration test is carried out yearly to check the
capacity of the batteries.
NOTE : IEC 60073 recommends that the charge indicator LED should be Green to
indicate System OK. The above table conforms to those recommendations. It is
possible to reverse the bi-colour LED connections to swap Green and Red
indications and it is also possible to have an alternative Red + Amber LED
pair for compatibility with earlier product.
