Central emergency luminaire function (CenEmgLmnr11)

Overview

The application function "Central emergency luminaire function 11, control and test function" (CenEmgLmnr11) handles operation and testing of emergency luminaires on the DALI bus.

Test results are saved in the emergency luminaires. The management station can trigger batch testing and test protocols.

The AF is only available in ABT Pro, since only PXC3...A room automation stations have a DALI interface.

OpStn	Operator unit
Cen	Central functions
CenEmgLgt11	Central emergency lighting 11. This AF can be a group member of a superordinate AF CenOpLgt11 or the group manager for subordinate AFs CenOpLgt11.
CenEmgCmdLgt11 ¹⁾	Central emergency command for lighting 11
CenEmgLmnr11 ¹⁾	Central emergency luminaire function 11, control and test function
R	Room
Z	Lighting zone in one room segment
Lgt11 ¹⁾	Lighting 11, group members
Lgt	Lamp
EmgLgt	Emergency luminaires

¹⁾	CenEmgCmdLgt11 and CenEmgLmnr11 either act on AFs Lgt11 as group member or direct on lighting zones (BACnet objects) as group members. In the second case, ABT Pro is required for engineering.

Test and operation

DALI emergency luminaires have integrated test and operating functions. Depending on the actual device, only a portion of the list below is supported.

The AF works with grouping so that a large number of emergency luminaires can be tested simultaneously.

Enter the commands supported by the connected group members.

Possible commands

Ready.
State: Ready for entry of a command.
Start function test
Briefly sets the device to power outage state.
Start duration test
Sets the device to power outage state over a long period to test battery capacity.
Start short duration test
Sets the device to power outage state long enough to be able to calculate battery capacity without fully discharging the batteries.
Stop active test
Stops an on-going function or on-going continuous test.
Go to rest mode
Overrides active power outage state and switches off the device. The command may only be ran during an active power outage state; it helps to save batteries if the situation is safe.
Go to inhibit mode
Prevents the device from switch to the power outage state (starts an inhibit timers for 15 minutes). The command can only be run while power is available. It is used for scheduled power outages.
Cancel inhibit mode (Relight)
Rescinds the inhibit mode or reset mode and switches the device to emergency operation. This command can only be run during an active power outage state.
Reset inhibit mode
Rescinds the inhibit mode and switches the device to normal operation. The command can only be run while power is available.
Reset lamp op.hours
Resets the operating hours for the emergency luminaires.

Hierarchical grouping

This AF supports hierarchical grouping. For detailed information, see Hierarchical grouping.

Engineering and commissioning

The AF is unavailable on preloaded applications.

CenEmgCmdLgt11 must be used if using emergency luminaires together with switchable/dimmable lamps in order to be able to send a switch-off command.
