1.0 Introduction
The Protec Digilite® DL500 Emergency Lighting Supervisory Panel has been design to automate required
scheduled testing of emergency lighting fittings in a building, as stipulated in BSEN62034 and BS5288
part 8.
The Digilite® DL500 has been designed and manufactured in the UK using the latest technology and
processes.
The Digilite® DL500 system is designed to be used primarily in conjunction with Digilite® luminaires and
central system modules, however, by using appropriate Digilite® interfaces, third party systems may be
accommodated.
Test results are stored in a non-volatile event log to enable later download and hardcopy printing.
During non test mode the Digilite® DL500 monitors that the batteries in a luminaire are charging in and, if the
address is programmed to be maintained, that the lamp is illuminated.
To automate monthly and annual testing the Digilite® DL500 simulates failure of the local mains supply to
the luminaire and ensures that the lamp remains illuminated and/or the backup battery at the correct Voltage
for the duration of the test.
To ensure that all the emergency lighting is not tested at the same time the Digilite® DL500 provides up to
28 test groups. Individual luminaires may be programmed into any of these groups. The groups can be
programmed to be automatically tested on any day of the month. 20 characters of text may be programmed
per group.
The panel can accommodate up to 500 individual luminaires, and 20 characters of text can be programmed
for each device address.
This manual details the programming of the system with particular focus on the use of the Digilite® DL500
Windows based Configuration Tool.
