Testing
of emergency lighting installations can
be a time consuming and expensive process.
Engineers have been required to manually
place luminaires on test and record the
test results in a logbook for inspection
by the authorities. The cost associated
with such a process will vary depending
on the type of site and the number of
luminaires to be tested, but estimates
of £50 per year per luminaire have
been suggested and it is easy to see
how this figure can be justified.
FailSafe Emergency
Lighting Testing Systems offer two solutions.
FailSafe Solo is
a self-contained stand-alone solution
ideal for smaller installations. The
testing regime commences automatically
when power is applied to the emergency
luminaire with a 24-hour test-delay option,
which prevents all luminaires discharging
together. The status of the luminaires
is continuously monitored and any faulty
luminaires are identified by an integral
flashing fault indictor.
FailSafe Addressable uses
a dedicated Control Panel or standard
PC and requires no human intervention
unless a fault is identified. The Control
Panel monitors the testing and provides
a Log Book record. The PC version offers
more options including the ability to
override the automatic testing regime
and schedule the day and time of tests
to suit the installation. FailSafe Addressable also
offers the option of off-site monitoring
via a simple modem link.
FailSafe Emergency
Lighting Testing Systems carry
out two tests:
Function Test - the functions
of the luminaire and components are tested.
Duration Test - the luminaire
illuminates for the full time period
in emergency mode. In addition FailSafe Addressable provides
feedback regarding the integrity of the
communication bus.
FailSafe Emergency
Testing Systems are designed to meet
or exceed all current legislative requirements
for the testing of emergency lighting.
