DGN/S 1.16.1 emergency lighting test

The DGN/S 1.16.1 serves as a gateway for self-contained emergency lighting systems and KNX building
management. On this way it is possible to controlled and monitored DALI-based emergency self-contained
lighting devices (converters) compliant with IEC 62 386-202.
A DALI device to IEC 62 386-202 (Device type 1), for self-contained emergency lighting with individual bat-
teries, is described in this manual in shortened form as an emergency lighting converter.
The DGN/S 1.16.1 itself does not offer functionality in terms of the emergency lighting regulations, e.g.
protocoling functions or other associated stipulated functions. It is used exclusively as a gateway between
the KNX communication objects and the DALI commands.
The different mandatory tests for emergency lighting are controlled by KNX communication objects. The
test sequence is subsequently monitored by KNX communication objects, and the results are signalled by
further communication objects on the KNX.
A further possibility is the use of an automated test interval that is controlled by the DALI emergency light-
ing converter itself. The interval duration is determined by the KNX parameter. KNX communication ob-
jects transfer the results.
1.3.2.1

Function test

The function test is undertaken by the emergency lighting converter itself. The function test is requested at
a parameterizable interval in the emergency lighting converter or by a KNX communication object. The
functional security of the emergency lighting converter electronics and correct operation of a lamp and a
switch-over device for an individual battery are tested.
1.3.2.2

Duration test

The duration test is implemented on the basis of the IEC 62 386-202 and is used to determine whether the
individual battery of the system is within the limits of the rated operating duration in emergency lighting op-
eration.
1.3.2.3

Partial duration test

The partial duration test is controlled with the aid of the duration test of the DALI device by the Gateway.
This is possible as a partial duration test is not stipulated or described by the standards. It simply offers an
additional and enhanced possibility for operation readiness of emergency lighting in a simple and time-
efficient way without completely discharging the battery.
