NFPA 101 Section 7.9.3 requires emergency lighting to be tested every 30 days and annually under full load. In large facilities, manual testing quickly becomes a labor and documentation problem. Missed tests, inconsistent records, and delayed repairs create unnecessary survey risk.
Missing or incomplete test records can result in AHJ findings. Without consistent, verifiable documentation, surveys become stressful and unpredictable.
Walking buildings, climbing ladders, and documenting results pulls skilled staff away from preventative maintenance and repairs
Manual testing often costs $50 to $150 per fixture each year in labor, overtime, and vendor fees, without improving reliability.
Hexmodal smart emergency lights and exit signs replace manual testing with automated compliance. Fixtures run scheduled tests on their own, monitor battery and lamp health, and generate AHJ-ready reports automatically. If a device fails, the right people are alerted immediately and corrective actions are tracked until resolved.
Mounts to standard junction boxes and connects to 110 to 270 VAC power just like traditional emergency lights and exit signs.
Devices communicate with the Hexmodal gateway using low-frequency radio. The gateway transmits data via cellular, eliminating the need for WiFi or Ethernet. No network configuration required.
Each fixture runs its own 30-second monthly and 90-minute annual tests in accordance with NFPA 101 Section 7.9.3.
Pass or fail results are logged automatically. Failed tests generate corrective actions, and once resolved, the fixture re-tests and updates the report.
