To confirm that your emergency LED driver is functioning correctly, especially the IOTA ILBHI CP10 HE SD LC model, follow these steps:
-
Normal Mode Operation:
- When AC power is available, the driver should power the LED module as usual.
- The Three Color Test Switch (TCTS) light should be illuminated, indicating the battery is charging.
-
Emergency Mode Test:
- Simulate a power outage. The ILBHI CP HE SD should automatically switch to emergency mode.
- The LED module should provide illumination, though at a reduced brightness, for at least 90 minutes.
- When AC power is restored, the system should revert to normal operation and resume charging the battery.
-
Manual Test:
- Press and hold the TCTS button for two seconds; the pilot light should blink.
- Within five seconds, the LED module should operate at reduced light output, verifying emergency mode functionality.
- The test will run for 60 seconds unless you press and hold the TCTS button for two seconds to stop it early.
-
Indicator Light Check:
- The TCTS light should be on when the battery is being charged.
- During a manual test, the TCTS indicator should show GREEN to signify a test is in progress.
By following these procedures and observing the specified behaviors and indicator lights, you can reliably check that your emergency LED driver is operating according to the manufacturer's instructions.
