Self-Test Emergencies
Each fitting automatically performs a 3 hour duration test during the year. If it fails this test (i.e. does not drive the LEDs at the correct power for 3 hours+) then this is indicated by a flashing red LED until the battery is changed.
If you change the battery the fitting detects this. It then does a 3 hour duration test 24 hours later to check that the new battery is ok.
A green LED is therefore proof that (a) a function test has run and passed in the last 28 days and (b) a Duration test has run and passed in the last 12 months. This is in accordance with the Emergency Lighting Standard BS/EN 5266 and the Emergency Lighting Automated Testing Standard BS/EN 62034.
