Emergency Lighting Circuits!!!

[fantomcat_2k]

Hi, can anyone help,
Im due to start a job testing and inspecting an emergency lighting circuit next week, yet i have no experiece of working with them at all!!!

The only things i have inspected and tested are domestic and normal lighting circuits, can anyone tell me what extras i need to be aware of in order to test it, and second, does anyone have any idea of what i should be charging for this?- there's approximately 40 luminaries in all.

I know that doing a normal inspection and test goes the same way here, but do i need to test the backup batteries or anything, could someone give me a step by step procedure?

Thanks and please help, Steve

This would normlly be carried out by a spe******t but I would test as a lormal lighting ciruit. You will also need to run the lights from the batteries. For about 4 hours to ensure they all stay on for this long. If they are supplied from an invertor cabinet you will also want to measure the batteries on charge, on load and on load after the four hour test to ensure no unnacceptable drops in charge.

I wouldn't worry too much like CJ said only additional check would be a function test, but you will find that out when your doing the dead tests.
