So the light should be red on the light before testing. The light in corridor is red it comes on when testing then I switch the lights back on but that light doesn't switch on only when I put it in testing mode
NFPA101 Life Safety Code in the US requires a 30 second EM/EL test with documentation at an interval not exceeding 31 days between tastings. It's a good idea that is seldom enforced. Nobody thinks anything about the code until the lawyers show up following a wrongful death suit.
@@ABhd84 Yup! That too! If you're a building owner it's much easier to pay for services than deal fire/ building/ insurance inspectors ESPECIALLY in large metro areas. The 30 second test was an incremental part of battery maintenance with older technologies. Today we have much more reliable systems in place but the requirements hang around.
Thank you very informative

Why would you test it monthly between servicing visits? Overkill.... 6 monthly & yearly EML / EXIT light tests are the standard.
