I thought the daily visual check of the LED had gone? How is this practical when you have a large premises with thousands of units to be checked every day?  ???

Daily. The indicators of a central power supply shall be visually inspected for correct operation. This is a visual inspection of indicators to identify that the system is in a ready condition and does not require a test of operation.

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

"Central Power Supply" implies that this only relates to the status indicators on the battery & charging cabinet of a Central Battery EL system.
