The end user can check the status of all luminaires, manual testing is available but they can’t change any settings. The user can print a report of the last test of the panel in pdf format. The list of events can be downloaded or deleted. Group and individual switching of luminaires is possible.

EMG test

The EMG test is one of the main functions of the addressable emergency lighting system. This function allows the luminaires to be tested for full functionality. During the test, the panel checks the communication of the luminaire, the level of the main battery, and the LED current in emergency mode. A short-function test or a long-duration test can be selected. The test will stop after the last device data has been collected. The test may take longer if there are many faulty units in the system.
