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 62034:2016 - Automatic test systems for battery powered emergency escape lighting.

Our test system will start automatically after mains supply is not interrupted for 5 days. After a random delay days for different device,  a commissioning test is started. This avoids adjacent devices testings at the same time. Monthly functional tests and annually duration test will then be repeated.

The firmware supports full IEC 62034 - ATS Type S, including the following tasks:

IEC 62034 

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.

 ✅
60 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.

 ✅

 

Functional and Duration Tests

Functional and duration tests are two types of tests performed to ensure exit sign functionality and reliability.

  • Functional test is performed once a month to check the basic functionality. The test also checks the hardware parameters, such as various voltage and current. The test duration is 60 seconds.
  • Duration tests are performed once a year. The tests are the same as functional test but with additional battery life check with a full rated battery discharge.
  • Commissioning test is the first duration test. They are typically performed after the device has been installed and configured.

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.
