Labor Saving
Remote Control Testing |
Quik-Chek™ is an exclusive (U.S. Patent #5148158 ~
Canadian #1320246)option for testing emergency lighting. Quik-chek™ is the only
product of its kind that allows for full code compliance in the periodic service and
testing of emergency equipment |
|
| Quik-Chek™ is a
transmitter and receiver combination that allows a user to perform and witness periodic,
code required tests on emergency lighting units from the safety and convenience of the
floor (or anywhere within 50 feet of the unit). A single press of the transmitter button
simulates a power failure to the unit, and permits the observation of the lamps,
illumination, and charging activity. The receiver is factory installed in the unit, and
the transmitter is portable. We can't stress enough the labor savings and safety benefit
of testing emergency lights in this manner. |
| Quik-Chek™ also always
includes another important feature - User Adjustable Time Delay. Time Delay is essential
for installations in which the normal lighting is provided by HID lamps. Time Delay keeps
the emergency lights on for a preset period after power is restored. HID Lighting can take
15-20 minutes to reach full brightness after even a brief power failure. |
The state of the
art Quik-Chek™ design includes: |
| Integrated Design - Both the
receiver and time delay functions are performed on a single circuit board, translating to
enhanced reliability and easy servicing. |
| Digital Coding - The
"initiate test" signal transmitted is digitally coded. The end user may, if
desired, set unique 8 position codes on both the transmitter and receiver for security in
much the same way garage door opener codes are selected today. As supplied from the
factory, all transmitters will work with all receivers unless different codes are
selected. |
| Long/Short Tests & 1 to 90
Adjustability - The receiver may be easily set for a "lights on" (i.e. time
delay) interval anywhere from 1 to 90 by rotating an adjustment knob in the unit.
Furthermore, inside the transmitter battery compartment is a two position selector switch.
The user can choose to conduct a brief (short) test or an extended (long) test by moving
the selector to the appropriate position and pressing the transmit button. The
receiver/time delay will then keep the emergency lights "on" for the interval
selected on the unit. The unit will remain on for 1 to 90 minutes in the long test and 1
to 90 seconds for the short test, depending on the interval selected. There are two
additional important features with regard to the delay. First, if a long test is initiated
and it becomes necessary to cancel it, this is accomplished easily by setting the
transmitter to the "short" test function and pressing the transmit button.
Second, when a real power failure occurs, the unit will always keep the lights on for
minutes, not seconds upon restoration of normal AC power. |
| Transmitter Case - The
modern, convenient styling of the transmitter is similar to a pager, complete with handy
belt clip. The battery used is a common low cost 12V alkaline cigarette lighter battery
available from many sources, including Big Beam. It is accessible via a slide off battery
door on the back of the transmitter. |
| LEDs - The transmitter case
includes an LED which gives a quick confirmation of operation. Similarly, the receiver
circuit board has an LED which illuminates when receiving a signal. Both are very useful
in troubleshooting and servicing. |
