Emergency lighting has one job: getting people out of a dark building. The failure mode is almost always the battery, which degrades invisibly over years and is only revealed by an actual discharge test.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.
Emergency lighting has one job: getting people out of a dark building. The failure mode is almost always the battery, which degrades invisibly over years and is only revealed by an actual discharge test.
Fixtures that look fine, test green on their indicator, and produce no light during a real outage — plus a straightforward code violation.
A 30-second functional test monthly and a full-duration (typically 90 minute) test annually is the common code requirement. Keep the log.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
