Lookup label: SETI
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: Manufacturer

Representation: Functional block
Installation focus: switchrooms
Input: Lighting test result
Output: Maintenance status record

Receives the selected system's declared test-result indication for maintenance recording.

## In plain English

### What this block does

Receives the selected system's declared test-result indication for maintenance recording.

### A simple example

In a switchroom, a normal lighting branch may be switched locally while the specified emergency luminaires remain connected to their own backed-up or integral supply. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Lighting test result” at the input and “Maintenance status record” at the output. A passed self-test has a defined monitored scope.

### What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Lighting test result. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Maintenance status record. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

### Terms

- Input: Lighting test result
- Output: Maintenance status record
- Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

## What it represents

Receives the selected system's declared test-result indication for maintenance recording. Lighting and access interfaces coordinate the electrical-room service circuits and their supervision. Normal lighting, emergency illumination and access indication have different power sources and purposes.
In a switchroom, a normal lighting branch may be switched locally while the specified emergency luminaires remain connected to their own backed-up or integral supply. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Lighting test result” at the input and “Maintenance status record” at the output. A passed self-test has a defined monitored scope.
Identify the lighting supply type, controlled circuit and the meaning of any test or failure output. A drawing symbol does not establish illumination levels, emergency duration or an approved egress arrangement. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.

## How to read it

- Start at the named input: Lighting test result. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Maintenance status record. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- A passed self-test has a defined monitored scope.
- Identify the lighting supply type, controlled circuit and the meaning of any test or failure output. A drawing symbol does not establish illumination levels, emergency duration or an approved egress arrangement.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the source and connection reference for lighting test result.
- Identify the destination and defined state of maintenance status record.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: A passed self-test has a defined monitored scope.

## Important distinction

A passed self-test has a defined monitored scope. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.

## Facts

- Representation: Functional block
- Installation focus: Switchrooms
- Input / boundary: Lighting test result
- Output / connection: Maintenance status record
- Lookup label: SETI is a library lookup label, not a standard device designation.
