NOTE: Emergency lighting systems should be tested in
accordance with NFPA 101 or as often as local codes
require, to ascertain that all components are operational.
NOTE: Allow batteries to charge for 24 hours before initial
testing.
Manual testing:
If the batteries are sufficiently charged, either press and release
the "TEST" button or use the RTKIT (remote tester accessory
for SDRT units only) on the bottom of the unit to activate a 60-
second test, during which the lamps will turn on. Triggering
either option a second time will enable a 90-minute tests
indicated by 5 flashes of the lamps. Triggering either option a
third time will disable manual testing.
Self-Diagnostics (SDRT feature)
Units with this option automatically perform a 5-minute self-
diagnostic test of the charging electronics, battery, and lamps
every 30 days, and a 90-minute test every year, indicating
system status as shown in the table at right. First self test
occurs after 15 days of continuous AC Power.
Postponing a self-test:
If an automatic self-test occurs at a time when it is not desirable
for the unit lamps to be on, it can be postponed for 8 hours
either by pressing and releasing the "TEST" button or by using
RTKIT (remote tester accessory).
Cancelling emergency operation:
While in emergency Mode, press and hold the "TEST" button for
several seconds or activate using the RTKIT (remote tester
accessory), during which the status indicator will flash until the
lamps turn off. This restores the AC Reset state in which the
unit is shipped.
Load-Learning feature:
Self-Diagnostic units automatically 'learn' their total connected
lamp load during the first scheduled self-test (~15 days) or the
first manual test after the battery is fully charged. The learned
value can be reset by pressing and holding the "TEST" button
for 7 seconds (count flashes), during this period the lamps will
turn on. After 7 seconds, release the button, the lamps will turn
off within 2 seconds indicating learn reset complete. If lamps
stay on longer, learn reset was not successful. This manual
learn reset feature should be performed whenever the total
connected lamp load of the unit is changed, or a lamp is
replaced. A new learned value will be stored during the next
discharge from a fully charged state.
NOTE: Manual load-learning functions cannot be initiated if
there is inadequate charge in the batteries. If this is so, wait
until the unit indicates full battery charge (solid green status
indication) before initiating the manual load-learning function.
NOTE: The remote tester should not be used to initiate the
Load Learning feature.
Clearing a failure indication:
After a failure condition has been corrected and power is
restored to the unit, clear the failure indication either by
pressing the "TEST" button once or by using the RTKIT (remote
tester accessory).
TESTING and MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION:
Batteries are perishable items. For best results, it is
recommended that the batteries receive an initial charge within
the first six months of the manufacture date of the fixture. The
manufacture date can be found on the outside of the unit
packaging and on the product label as part of the Date Code /
Series. The first two digits in the date code represent the year
and the second two digits represent the month. In many cases,
batteries beyond the initial charge recommendation time frame
will recover if fully charged soon after installation. If such a
battery does not recover after a full initial charge, it should be
replaced.
Unit Status Indications
The "TEST" button illuminates to indicate the following conditions:
Indication:
Off
Flashing green
Solid amber

Flashing R / G
1x red flashing
2x red flashing

Remote Test (SDRT):
Units with the self-diagnostics/remote test feature allows
manual test activation using a laser pointer. Aim the laser
beam straight onto the circular area labeled near the "TEST"
button for a few moments to activate a 60-second test. (See
also "Manual testing") A test in progress may be cancelled by
aiming the beam at the test area again. NOTE: The remote
tester should not be used to initiate the Load Learning feature.
