OPERATION
The 18010-X dimmable emergency lighting control device can work in
conjunction with both an auxiliary generator or a central inverter system
and single inverter to power existing fluorescent or LED fixtures for emergency
lighting at full or reduced illumination with designed or preset dimming level
regardless of the wall switch position or normal dim setting.
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
1. APD (Auto Preset Dimming) technology (The dipswitch C is set to 0)
a) Initial Auto Test
When the system is connected properly and powered on after a power failure,
the 18010-X will perform an initial Auto Test:
Bypassing the wall switch and overriding the dimmer to detect the
connected dimmable load's maximum power - PMax. load, calculating the
dimming level - K (which will dim the load in emergency mode) base on the
PMax. load and the emergency power (Set by the dipswitch A and B), dimming
the load with the dimming level K to simulate emergency mode.
b) Auto adjusting
18010-X is constantly detecting the PMax. load in normal mode, the Initial Auto
Test will be restarted automatically when PMax. load increases.
2. Preset dimming (The dipswitch C is set to 1-9)
The dimming level K is preset to 1-9V.
MANUAL TEST (Optional)
- Press the LED test switch (LTS) one time to simulate emergency mode.
- Press the LTS 2 times continuously within 3 seconds to restart the Initial Auto
Test.
LED TEST SWITCH (LTS) CONDITIONS
- LTS On: Normal Condition
- LTS Off: Power Failure
- LTS Gradual Change: In Testing Mode
