Emergency lighting regulations state that periodic, mandatory tests must be carried out to verify the
correct operation of any emergency lighting system.
Increasingly, changes in safety legislation, risk assessment, and the requirements of public liability insurance are
placing responsibility for the testing of emergency lighting systems firmly with the owner or occupier of the
building. Additionally, legislation states that records of this testing must be kept.

Manual testing (and record keeping) of emergency
lighting systems can prove to be expensive, time
consuming and disruptive (even dangerous)
exacerbated by access problems caused by physical and
commercial reasons.
The EMEX Test Central Testing System ensures peace
of mind by automating the normal, periodic testing of
emergency lighting lamps and control gear.
EMEX Test is simple to operate being controlled by
a standard desktop PC or a dedicated touch screen
control panel and is feature packed:
l Multiple static inverter Central Power Supply
Systems (CPS) can be networked to a single
control PC
l Utilizing EMEX TS, Remote access via a Local
Area Network (LAN) or internet connection is
straightforward
l Building Management System communication can
be easily incorporated
“When considering central power emergency lighting, EMEX Test
allows the consultant and end user to retain complete freedom of
design. Specifying EMEX Test offers the most flexible and economic
solution to providing addressable testing of emergency lighting”
Live luminaire data is compared against
pre-programmed threshold data to identify any
discrepancies. These are then duly highlighted in the
test report which is generated and stored automatically.
The user has full control to access test reports locally
or remotely at any time. Service personnel can then
arrange a convenient time to access any faulty
luminaires – ready prepared with any necessary
spares in order to further reduce the amount of time
required to effect a repair.
In addition, EMEX Test can conduct discharge tests
and monitor and record the status of the CPS and
end battery voltage. Since discharge tests cannot be
performed until visual condition checks have been
undertaken by an engineer on site, these annual tests
are initiated manually.
