# ANSI/IEEE push-to-test indicator lamp symbol

Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/ansi-push-to-test-indicator-lamp
Publisher: Elora Grid
Updated: 2026-10-14
Lookup label: LAMP TEST
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: IEEE / ANSI, Manufacturer

## Symbol convention

Convention: IEEE / ANSI
Form: Autodesk IEEE-oriented Push to Test Lights functional form
Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.
Related representation: [Push-to-test indicator lamp](https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/push-to-test-indicator-lamp)

IEEE-oriented graphical reference for push-to-test indicator lamp, with public vendor evidence and drawing-reading notes.

## What it represents

The press-to-test lamp form combines indication and a documented local test path. The normal signal and test supply may be different circuit paths, and the test does not automatically verify the monitored equipment feedback.
This is a convention-specific lookup based on the publisher's IEEE-labelled preview. The geometry here is independently drawn to explain the connection or operation; it is not a certified reproduction of the standard graphic.

## How to read it

- Trace the test path independently of the normal alarm or status contact.
- Read the selected library and the project legend together. A vendor block identifier is meaningful within its named library and is not a universal standard-symbol code.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify normal signal
- Show test connection
- State lamp supply

## Important distinction

A lamp-test operation and a complete alarm-system test are different verification functions.
