emCON
3 emCON
The emCON emergency lighting system is designed for the control and monitoring of self-contained emergency
luminaires.
The emCON web application allows for the automation of up

to 192 self-contained emergency luminaires with a maximum
of one emCON control device. The emCON web application
is therefore suitable for smaller buildings or – as shown in the
figure on the left – individual floors.
Figure 1: Application example – emCON
Self-contained emergency luminaires can be used in an emCON system. Self-contained emergency luminaires
contain all parts – such as the battery, lamp, control gear and test and monitoring equipment, if any – which are
arranged inside the luminaire or in its immediate vicinity (i.e. within a cable length of 1 m).
There are different switching modes for self-contained emergency luminaires:
1. Maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency lighting is permanently switched on during both
mains and emergency operation. The emergency luminaires cannot be dimmed/brightened. This switching
mode is used, for example, for safety sign luminaires.
2. Non-maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency lighting is switched off during mains operation
but switched on during emergency operation (in the event of a mains failure and during emergency lighting
tests).
Basic functions of the “Emergency lum. (self-cont.)” app
· Monitoring the functionality of the self-contained emergency luminaires
· Regular function tests

The emCON system tests in cyclical intervals whether the emergency lighting function is still guaranteed. The
results of the emergency lighting tests are recorded centrally in a test book. The test book can be exported.

application is not automatically redirected to the new IP address. A corresponding
message is displayed.
Note
i wOpen the web application in the browser using the new IP address.
Obtaining an IP address automatically
If a DHCP server is installed in your network, the emCON control device can automatically obtain the IP address
via this server. The advantages of this are that you do not have to ensure that the IP address has already been
assigned in the network and any potential IP address conflicts are automatically resolved.

8.6 Addressing
Addressing is the sum of the processes needed so that each electronic network and bus subscriber is given an
individual RGA address (room address/group address/own address). The combination of processes differs from
device to device.
Path: App overview > Addressing
The following devices can be addressed in the emCON web application:
Device Description
Luminaires When luminaires are addressed the type of luminaire must also
be defined.
Signalling contacts A signalling contact is a contact that is used to forward status

information. If a change of condition occurs,
· the signalling contact is opened and closed, e.g. LM-4RUKS;
· the status is displayed via LEDs, e.g. remote display ONLITE
BRI.
Table 11: Addressable devices
General procedure for addressing in the emCON web application
1. Select device category to be addressed (e.g. luminaires).
2. Locate the device visually in the field.
Note
i Visual location: a location method in which a network or bus subscriber can be found visually using
its address in the field.
Example:
· Emergency luminaire indicates its address as a binary flashing pattern using the status LED.
3. A type is assigned to the device.

The type is automatically selected, if possible.

Commissioning
8.7 Backing up data

emCON offers different types of data backup: a complete data backup or a partial data backup.
· Complete data backup: the complete data backup is saved on the computer and contains more information
than a partial data backup. The complete data backup provides the advantage of being able to restore the
data of the emCON system in full if data loss occurs (e.g. due to a faulty emCON control device).
· Partial data backup: the partial data backup is saved locally on the emCON and only includes the configuration
of the emCON system (e.g. system image). It is suitable for restoring a previous version of the system after a
reconfiguration.
We therefore recommend storing a complete data backup on your computer once commissioning is finished.
Path: App overview > Data backup
Note
i For more information see Section Data backup 80

10.3.1 Test groups
A power failure is simulated in a duration test to check whether the emergency luminaire is operational and
whether the battery achieves the nominal duration. In order to ensure that, in an emergency, all batteries are not
flat due to a previous duration test, a duration test is not performed simultaneously for all self-contained
emergency luminaires; the emergency luminaires are tested in two test groups (test group A and test group B). A
test group is a group of self-contained emergency luminaires that are tested simultaneously during an automatic
duration test.
The self-contained emergency luminaires are automatically assigned to test groups A and B during addressing.
The assignment alternates between group A and group B. The assignment can be changed at any time.
WARNING
If test groups are incorrectly assigned, the emergency lighting will not function.
If too many emergency luminaires are tested simultaneously, the emergency lighting function cannot
be guaranteed in an emergency.
· Ensure that the emergency luminaires are distributed equally between test group A and B, e.g.
25 emergency luminaires in test group A and 25 emergency luminaires in test group B.
· Ensure that all emergency luminaires in the test groups are also spatially distributed.
Assigning test groups

10.3.2 Switching modes
You can assign a switching mode to each emergency luminaire.
Note
i · A switching mode is assigned to each emergency luminaire by default during addressing. The
assigned switching mode depends on the type of emergency luminaire.
· Not every emergency luminaire supports all switching modes; if a switching mode is not
supported, it is greyed out.
The following switching modes are available:
· Maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency luminaire is permanently switched on during both
mains and emergency operation. The emergency luminaires cannot be dimmed/brightened. This switching
· Non-maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency luminaire is switched off during mains operation
but switched on during emergency operation (in the event of a mains failure and during emergency lighting
tests).

Status Description
Ready The emergency luminaires are ready, i.e.

· all emergency luminaires are supplied with mains voltage
· no test is running
· all emergency luminaires are free from faults
· no emergency luminaire is locked
Lamp failure At least one emergency luminaire has a lamp failure.
Battery fault A battery fault has occurred in at least one emergency luminaire.
Charging fault A fault has occurred when charging the battery of at least one emergency luminaire.
Communication error Communication with at least one emergency luminaire in the emCON system is no longer
possible.
Function test running A function test for at least one emergency luminaire has been started and is currently running.
Duration/inspection test A duration test or inspection test for at least one emergency luminaire has been started and is
running currently running.
Emergency operation The general power supply has failed; at least one emergency luminaire is now being supplied
by the battery.
Test time exceeded The test time has been exceeded during a test of at least one emergency luminaire.
Test time exceeded means that an emergency luminaire does not respond during the test. The
test is therefore cancelled after a certain time. The time depends on the type of test, e.g. 3
minutes for a function test.
Locked At least one emergency luminaire has been locked.
Deep-discharge protection At least one emergency luminaire has reached the deep-discharge threshold in emergency
operation so that the deep-discharge protection has tripped. The lamp is switched off as a
result. Nevertheless, the battery continues to supply power to the control gear and the battery
therefore continues to discharge.

10.3.4 Automatic function test
During a function test, a power failure is simulated in order to test whether the emergency lighting system is
functioning properly. The function test must be carried out regularly. The results for the last several years must be
recorded and archived in a test book.
· IEC 62034 stipulates that a function test must be performed at least once per month.
· EN 50172 stipulates that a function test must be performed at least once per week.
How often the test must be conducted and how long the results must be archived also depend on national
regulations. In Austria, the function test is conducted weekly as a rule. A function test is less comprehensive than
a duration test.
You can configure your emCON system to automatically perform a function test at a specific time.
Note
i · You can start a function test manually at any time. This is recommended, for example, when
devices are replaced, new devices are added or other changes are made to the configuration.
For more information see Section Starting a manual function test 65
· When a function test is running, this is shown in the overview of the Emergency lum. (self-cont.)
app irrespective of whether the test was started manually or automatically.
· The result of the function test is recorded in the test book.
Path: App overview > Emergency lum. (self-cont.) > View test book
For more information see Section Results in the test book 72
· In the event of a power failure that lasts for less than 7 days, the function test is automatically
repeated at the earliest configured time. If a power failure lasts longer than 7 days, the
commissioning and complete configuration must be checked.

10.3.5 Automatic duration test
During a duration test, a power failure is simulated in order to test whether the emergency lighting system is
functioning properly and whether the emergency power source (e.g. battery) achieves its nominal duration. The
duration test must be carried out regularly. The results for the last several years must be recorded and archived in
a test book.
· IEC 62034 and EN 50172 stipulate that a duration test must be performed at least once per year.
How often the test must be conducted and how long the results must be archived also depend on national
regulations.
You can configure your emCON system to automatically perform a duration test at a certain time each year. A
maximum of three tests can be performed. To ensure that a previous duration test has not emptied all batteries in
the event that an emergency occurs, a duration test is not performed simultaneously for all self-contained
emergency luminaires.
For each test execution, test group A is tested first and then test group B is tested with a delay of 5–14 days. The
following requirements must be met in order to perform an automatic duration test for test group A, for example:
— The self-contained emergency luminaires from test group A are in normal operation.
— The batteries for the self-contained emergency luminaires from test group A are fully charged.
— The batteries for the self-contained emergency luminaires from test group B are fully charged.
If these requirements are not met, the automatic duration test will be postponed. The duration test can be
postponed up to 4 times in total: if, for example, the automatic duration test is to be performed for test group A, a
check is first carried out to determine whether test group B meets the requirements. As soon as test group B
meets the requirements, a check is carried out to determine whether test group A meets the requirements. The
duration test can be postponed for a total of up to 2 times per test group:
if a duration test for a test group has been postponed, this is documented accordingly in the test book. The
duration test is only complete when it has been performed for both test groups.
Note
i · You can start a duration test manually at any time.

For more information see Section Starting a manual duration test 67
· When a duration test is running, this is shown in the overview of the Emergency lum. (self-cont.)
app irrespective of whether the test was started manually or automatically.
· The result of the duration test is recorded in the test book.
For more information see Section Results in the test book 72 or Automatic duration test: detail
view 62
· In the event of a power failure that lasts for less than 7 days, the duration test is automatically
repeated at the earliest configured time. If a power failure lasts longer than 7 days, the
commissioning and complete configuration must be checked.

Switching mode Type of behaviour emergency luminaires can have during mains and/or
emergency operation. The following switching modes are available:
· Maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency luminaire is
permanently switched on during both mains and emergency operation.
The emergency luminaires cannot be dimmed/brightened. This switching
· Non-maintained light: switching mode in which the emergency luminaire
is switched off during mains operation but switched on during
emergency operation (in the event of a mains failure and during
emergency lighting tests).
Note
i · A switching mode is assigned to each emergency luminaire

by default during addressing. The assigned switching mode
depends on the type of emergency luminaire.
· Not every emergency luminaire supports all switching
modes; if a switching mode is not supported, it is greyed
out.

Test group During a duration test, a power failure is simulated in order to test whether
the emergency luminaire is functioning properly and whether the battery
achieves its nominal operating duration. In order to ensure that a previous
duration test has not emptied all batteries in an emergency, a duration test
is not performed simultaneously for all self-contained emergency
luminaires; the emergency luminaires are tested in two test groups (test
group A and test group B). A test group is a group of self-contained
emergency luminaires that are tested simultaneously during an automatic
duration test.
The self-contained emergency luminaires are automatically assigned to test
groups A and B during addressing. The assignment takes place alternately.
The assignment can be changed at any time.
WARNING
If test groups are incorrectly assigned, the emergency
lighting will not function.
If too many emergency luminaires are tested simultaneously,
the emergency lighting function cannot be guaranteed in an
emergency.
· Ensure that the emergency luminaires are distributed
equally between test group A and B, e.g. 25 emergency
luminaires in test group A and 25 emergency luminaires in
test group B.
· Ensure that all emergency luminaires in the test groups are
also spatially distributed.

11.3 Emergency lighting tests

This section first describes the possible sequences of the automatic duration test in more detail using examples. It
then explains how to start a manual function or duration test as well as an inspection test.
11.3.1 Automatic duration test: detail view
The possible sequences of the automatic duration test (including test results in the test book) are described in the
following using three examples.
The following requirements must be met in order to perform an automatic duration test for test group A, for
example:
— The self-contained emergency luminaires from test group A are in normal operation.
— The batteries for the self-contained emergency luminaires from test group A are fully charged.
— The batteries for the self-contained emergency luminaires from test group B are fully charged.
If these requirements are not met, the automatic duration test will be postponed. The duration test can be
postponed up to 4 times in total: if, for example, the automatic duration test is to be performed for test group A, a
check is first carried out to determine whether test group B meets the requirements. As soon as test group B
meets the requirements, a check is carried out to determine whether test group A meets the requirements. The
duration test can be postponed for a total of up to 2 times per test group:
if a duration test for a test group has been postponed, this is documented accordingly in the test book. The
duration test is only complete when it has been performed for both test groups.
Example 1
Self-contained emergency luminaires are each assigned to test group A and test group B. The automatic duration
test is to be performed for test group A. However, test group B does not meet the requirements for performing the
automatic duration test.

Term Explanation
Building service Component of the building's technical equipment which is part of the
building's infrastructure.
Example: lighting
DALI load Typical power consumption of a subscriber on the DALI control line.
Dimming range A range in which the intensity of the luminaires can be smoothly adjusted. It is
restricted to the physical upper and lower limits. Setting a lower and upper
dimming limit can limit the dimming range further.
Light source System for generating light in an emergency luminaire
Location Process for determining where a network or bus subscriber is located or what
its address it. How subscribers are located differs from device to device.
There are three methods of locating devices: visual, acoustic and tactile.
Mode of operation Determines which building service is being controlled. Each building service is
controlled by at least one mode of operation.
Example: intensity
Production number Globally unique identification number of a device. The serial number can be
determined from the production number.
Required illuminance Illuminance required at minimum at a specific location (e.g. workspace) so

that a person can complete visual tasks effectively and accurately.
RGA address Address used for communication purposes. The RGA address is based on
the following address scheme: room address/group address/individual
address.
System extension Process during which new network or bus subscribers are addressed, which
are used in an existing and addressed system. Addressing for previously
addressed network or bus subscribers will remain unchanged.
Visual location Type of location in which the address of a network or bus subscriber is used
to visually locate this subscriber in the field.
