Battery Backup Tests
Battery Backup tests allow administrators to test emergency lighting on an interim or scheduled basis to ensure the safety of facilities and employees in the event of a power outage or emergency. Life-safety testing is fully automated for battery-backup-enabled fixtures. You can schedule automated tests, monitor performance, and document results of battery backup units.
Note: To access Battery Backup tests, enable them at the General Settings level. To do this, go to Admin > General, and then select Enable Battery Backup Testing in the Feature Control section.

- Select Admin > Battery Backup Tests from the menu.
- On the Battery Backup Tests screen, click Initiate a Battery Backup Test. The Initiate a Battery Backup Test screen opens.
- Select Later.
- Select Short or Long as the test type.
Note: Long tests can only be scheduled for one time. The Frequency field is removed when scheduling a Long test.
- Select a Frequency if scheduling a Short test.
- Enter or select all Date parameters.
- Enter a Start Time.
- Click Save.
A message appears on the screen indicating a test has been scheduled. The new test also appears in the Scheduled Tests list.
