  • Page 20: Test Times And Test Intervals

    The commissioning test is often made more difficult because the power supply is switched on and off during the installation phase. This is the case, for example, if the site is powered off at night for security reasons. To address this problem, the EM converterLED ST monitors the power supply and will only start with the commissioning test if the power supply hasn't been interrupted for 5 days.

  • Page 21: Weekly Function Test

    NOTICE If the power supply is interrupted, the information in the EM converterLED ST is stored for at least one week. If the power supply is interrupted for more than one week, the EM converterLED ST will perform another commissioning test when the power supply returns (after 20 hours initial charge mode).
