EASICHECK™

1.0 Introduction

The EASICHECK™ Panel is designed to periodically test the functionality of your installed
emergency. Once a week, once a month or 6 monthly, the EASICHECK™ will carry out tests
to determine whether your emergency lighting is fully functional.

For testing purposes, the luminaires can be designated to groups. The information for each
group is loaded at the commissioning stage via a PC. Groups can include luminaires in diverse
locations so as to prevent effective loss of emergency cover following test routines.

Manual tests with duration from 5 minutes to 3 hours can easily be instigated. Any faults that
are found are displayed at the panel. Multiple faults can be scrolled through the display by
pressing the scroll button. A permanent or intermittent fault will be detected by the panel. The
display will show the fault, address and location. The fitting will show flashing Amber LED
instead of the flashing green LED. The panel can test a single luminaire at any time if required.
This is done by use of the test mode menu option. A printer may be attached to record all test
results.

If the system communication fails, loop voltage is incorrect, or if there is a Mains failure, any
test that is in progress is terminated and the luminaire states are returned to normal mode.

Fault Relay

Volt free change over contact is provided (see section 7.0), it is rated at 1A / 24V DC
The relay operates upon any Fault condition.

Loop Wiring

Electrical insulation test should not be carried out if the loop cables are connected to the
EasiCheck panel, or to the fittings or to any electronic circuitry.
Before connecting the wiring to the EasiCheck panel, the wiring should be tested for continuity,
polarity, short circuit and earth faults.

Networking

A maximum of 64 EasiCheck Panels can be networked by fitting of additional network cards.
The Panels are inter connected in a network loop (two in, two out). Any EasiCheck Panel
reporting a fault in the system will be shown on all Panels. The Fault may be viewed and reset
from any Panel. See page 11 for cable type

EASICHECK™

2.0 Programming the EASICHECK™ SCAEL Interface.

Before the SCAEL Interface is connected it must be programmed in order for the
EASICHECK™ Panel to recognise it as part of the system. This is done with an
EASICHECK™ hand held programming unit. The programming unit has two spring loaded
connections which are to be held briefly on to the SCAEL Interface ‘TELE/LOOP’ connections.
See Diagram;

Programmer SCAEL INTERFACE

Switch on the programming unit by pressing the top right button marked On/Off. After a few
seconds the programming unit display will show the next address number due to be
programmed. Hold the spring terminal against the SCAEL Interface and press Program. The
programmer will show ‘Pro’ to register address acceptance and then the address number will
increment by one ready for the next interface. The interface is now ready to be fitted. Repeat
this until all of the interfaces have been programmed.
Note: If you are unsure as to which address the SCAEL Interface has been programmed for,
then with the programmer switched off, hold the spring terminals against the SCAEL Interface
and switch on the programmer. After a short delay the programmer display will flash the
number of the SCAEL Interface address and then return to the next address number to be
programmed.
The SCAEL unit contains a latching relay. During transit it is possible for the relay to change
state, even though it is not powered up. During programming the programmer will
automatically restore the relay to its correct position.

2.1 Installation of the SCAEL Interface.

The SCAEL Interface should be connected into the Luminaire by following the instructions
supplied.

Attach the address label to the Luminaire. Sets of address labels are available separately.

The interface is connected in series with the existing battery pack and the LED is fitted through
a hole in the gear tray to display healthy or fault status. The incoming mains live charge and
live switched (maintained luminaires only) should be wired into the screw terminal block and
the corresponding flying wires for each should be connected into the luminaires in the usual
manner.

The interface continually monitors the battery voltage and charge current which is interrogated
by the EASICHECK™ Control Panel and checked for correctness. Any luminaire found to be
incorrect will have it’s Green LED switched to Amber and the Control Panel will display the
Address number, location and a fault description.

3.0 Installation

In common with all electronic equipment the panel should be installed in a clean, dry,
reasonably well ventilated place, and not in direct sunlight. Temperatures in excess of 40°(C
and below 5°(C may cause problems, if in doubt consult Cooper Lighting and Security Ltd. The
panel should be located away from any potential hazard, in a position where it is readily
accessible to authorised staff. Mount the panel to the wall using the drill template provided. Do
not drill through the panel to the wall as dust will contaminate the circuitry, and prevent correct
operation.

A metal back box is available for semi-recessing the control panel. Dimensions 327mm wide x
265mm high x 77mm deep.

When using 20mm conduit entry direct to the top of the housing, use a flanged coupler to
ensure a wide distribution of pressure when tightening the coupling.

3.1 Installation Guide

Never Use oversized conductors or connect more conductors into termination

points than it can safely contain.

Never Carry out insulation tests on cables connected to electronic equipment.
Always Use the correct gauge of cables.
Always Adhere to volt drop limitation for loop cables

EASICHECK™

4.0 Loop Circuits

The following recommendations apply specifically to EASICHECK™ loop circuits:

" The EASICHECK™ Panel is a one loop Addressable emergency lighting test system.

" The loop circuit has provision for a maximum of 250 SCAEL Interfaces.

" Each SCAEL Interface has it’s own individual address which can be programmed by

using the EASICHECK™ programmer.

" The recommended cable should be used for the loop circuit.

(see Cable Types section)

" The total length of cable in the loop circuit should not exceed 2km (including all spurs)

" Since SCAEL Interfaces receive/send signals in either direction, a complete loop or

ring circuit is preferred (see diagram) so they continue to function if an open circuit
occurs.

" Isolator units can be installed at intervals throughout the circuit to prevent a short circuit

fault disabling the complete loop.

" It is important to check the voltage drop to ensure the supply to any SCAEL Interface

does not fall below 15V DC.

4.1 Isolators

For spur circuits, it is preferable for circuit integrity to fit an isolator at each spur. For loop
circuits it is preferable to fit an isolator every 15 to 20 fittings

Note: Unlike the SCAEL Interfaces,

the loop polarity must be observed.

5.0 Cable Requirement

Cable type : Two core or screened
Recommended size : 1.0 to 2.5mm2(see Volt drop calculation)
Maximum Resistance : 40 Ohms
Maximum Capacitance : 2.0 µF / km
Maximum cable length : 2 km (see Volt drop calculation)

5.1 Cable Length - Voltage drop

5.1.1 Spur Circuit.

Make sure that the minimum voltage at the furthest point of the spur exceeds 15 Volts
alternatively the maximum voltage drop on the cable should be less than 10 Volts.

Calculation for Voltage Drop

Vdrop = R x I x n (Volts) (1)

Re-arranged equation (1)

R = Vdrop/I x n Ω (2)

n= Number of fittings or addressable interfaces on the spur
I = Average Current of an addressable interface in the fitting = 0.0012 Amps
R = Cable cold resistance ( go and return) Ω

Vdrop not to exceed 10 Volts

This resistance will vary depending on the size of the cable as shown below;

Table 1.0

Therefore for worst case condition, the maximum cable resistance R (max) is;

R(max) = 10/ I x n = 10/0.0012 x n = 8333.33/n Ω (3)

Example 1 If a spur has 250 fittings , using equation (3) the maximum cable resistance is.

R(max) = 8333.33/250 = 33.3 Ω
