IEC 62034 Automatic Test
According to HK FSD, Technical Guidance May 2021 and FSD Circular Letter No. 5/2021, PPA/104(A), 5th Revision, emergency lighting with self-contained batteries shall be inspected periodically. For automatic testing devices, it shall be designed in accordance with IEC 62034:2012 - Automatic test systems for battery powered emergency escape lighting.
These inspections are normally carried out by hand and entered into a register. An automatic test system performs the same checks on schedule and keeps the results in the fitting, so the records are always ready for inspection.
The firmware supports full IEC 62034 - ATS Type S, so each sign tests and records by itself with no central controller or extra wiring.
| IEC 62034/BS EN 50172/FSD Requirements | Automatic Test |
| Commissioning Testing | ✅ |
| Maintenance | |
|
a. Once every month a functional test in accordance with BS EN 50172 not longer than 10% of rated duration should be carried out. |
✅ 30 sec |
|
b. Once every twelve months a full rated duration test, should be carried out and the results should be entered in a register. |
✅ |
|
c. The luminaire should be functioning properly to maintain the stipulated lighting level and the normal power supply should be restored after the test. |
✅ |
|
d. If automatic testing devices are used, the above item a – c should be complied with. |

Automatic Test Flowchart
HXS built-in automatic test system performs three types of self-test to verify functionality and reliability without manual intervention. Testing starts automatically after 7 days of uninterrupted mains supply. A random delay per device staggers the tests so adjacent fittings do not test at the same time.
Functional test — performed once a month to check basic functionality, including hardware parameters such as voltage and current readings. Test duration is 30 seconds.
Duration test — performed once a year. It runs the same checks as the functional test, followed by a battery life check with a full discharge at rated load.
Commissioning test — the first duration test, typically performed after the device has been installed and configured.
During every test the sign runs on battery supply while battery and lamp parameters are monitored.
Logging — Any fault found is saved in the system until the faulty component is replaced.

IR Remote Control
The infrared remote makes maintenance easier. Adjust panel brightness, run a changeover test, and clear Autotest faults without opening the fitting.
- Panel brightness dimming in normal operation
- Restore default brightness
- System changeover test (simulates the traditional test button)
- Clear stored Autotest faults after the fault has been corrected
Status Indications
Two LED indicators provide a rich set of status indications for system status and faults. Operators can use the information to quickly identify and diagnose problems.
