In Glamox Connect you can organize you emergency devices in groups and see the groups in your floorplan(s). It is recommended that you organize the groups illogical in terms of physical location. This to avoid multiple devices in same location to be empty of battery after a duration test.
...
To generate initial group assignment for your emergency devices, press Generate at Settings → Emergency lights → Test groups. After initial assignment you groups. You will be taken through a step-by-step process to create groups, assign devices to the groups and finally set a schedule for each scene
...
First select the desired number of groups. Keep in mind that you want to spread the tests out so that you minimize the number of devices tested at the same time
In the next step you will assign emergency devices to test group. Devices in the same group will have the same schedule.
...
You have three help functions to assist you in assigning devices to groups:
Assign unassigned devices: Will assign all unassigned devices to groups randomly
Reassign all devices sequentially: ALL devices will be assigned to group by local address pattern
Example: For Ethernet2Dali the system will loop through gateway - line - address in ascending order. First address to group 1, second to group 2.. until line is finished. Then the same on next line until it moves to next gateway when all devices are assigned.
Reassign all devices randomly: All devices will randomly be assigned to groups keeping the group sizes as uniform as possible
You can drag and drop the devices between the groups to create the best grouping for your installation. You can also use a helping function for initial assignment and then adjust it by drag and drop.
You can view the groups in the floorplan by clicking on Floorplan
...
After setting up the emergency groups, you can schedule when the emergency tests for the grouped devices should run. Under Settings → Emergency lights → Test scheduling In the last step you can choose the intervals for functional- and duration tests, as well a start time for the schedule.
After pressing Generate Glamox Connect will create a schedule for the chosen values and present it. The schedule can be customized if you want to do changes on the generated schedule.
...
After setting schedule you will also get a help text writing out how the schedule is interpreted. This will also include the next execution of the test.

How tests are run
Depending on the system Connect will take care of the test executions. In case of gateways with logic controller (like Ethernet2Dali), the test schedule will be synced to the gateway. The execution of the test will then be performed by the gateway
For systems with gateways without logic (like DALI Complete), the Glamox Connect access point will execute the tests.
All test executions are performed locally. The tests will run also if internet connection is lost as long as the initial sync from Glamox Connect has been done.
Scheduled reports
To schedule reports for your site, go to Settings → Emergency lights → Reports, add recipients and set a schedule. A condensed report with information for your site will be sent on email.
