Cooper Lighting and Safety, part of Cooper Safety, has launched an updated version of its Easicheck automatic test system for emergency lighting.

Easicheck 2 has spur wiring capability, a touch-screen user interface and web access to historical test data.

The new system also boasts continuous monitoring of lamp, battery and control-gear functionality, as well as programmable test regimes.

Cooper said: “Using simple twisted-pair wiring, Easicheck 2 offers a high-integrity solution for the automatic testing of up to 200 emergency luminaires in either a loop configuration or a loop with spurs.
 
“An auto-learn facility automatically scans the data loop and gives each luminaire an address number corresponding to its position on the loop.

" If more luminaires are added at a later date, the system can either be instructed to allocate the next available address without altering any existing addresses or to carry out a new auto-learn sequence to re-establish consecutive addressing on the loop.”

The touch screen, which measures 120 x 90mm,  has a keyboard and can be programmed with up to 16 independent test groups to accommodate different test regimes or test times in different parts of a building, Cooper said.
 
For large installations, up to 63 Easicheck 2 panels can be networked together via twisted-pair, TCP/IP or fibre-optic links, enabling a maximum of 12,600 emergency luminaires to be monitored.
 
it has been designed to be used in conjunction with other manufacturers’ products when modified and CE-marked by Cooper. The system is suitable for use with tungsten, fluorescent and LED luminaires.
