Type of Emergency Tests that can be done using the Lumos Controls Smart Emergency System

Lumos Controls allows you to perform both Function and Duration Tests using the Lumos Controls system. The tests can be done from either the mobile app or from the Web UI.

  1. Function Test: A function test is a quick test that usually takes between a few seconds to 1 min to complete. This test checks the operation of the emergency light source from the battery supply and gives quick feedback on the device, battery and lamp statuses
  2. Duration Test: A duration test is a longer test which takes 1-3 hours and is usually carried out annually. This test can give feedback on the device’s current battery status, lamp status and ensures that the battery will be able to operate the lamp for the full rated duration

Both the above-mentioned tests can be configured manually or automatically. Manual tests run once and the result can be viewed on the Web UI. Automated tests are done periodically and the result of each instance of the test can be viewed from the Web UI.
