STEP 5 – APPLY AC POWER

  1. Apply continuous AC power to the unit, and allow the unit to charge for at least 1 hour before performing a functional test.
  2. Verify that the IPS light is on. The lamp will show Red for low battery and Green for sufficient battery charge.
  3. Press and hold the IPS button for two seconds. The pilot light will blink. Within five seconds, the LED Module should be operating at a reduced light output. The test mode runs for 60 seconds. To exit the test mode earlier, press and hold the IPS button for two seconds. If the LED Module in the fixture returns to normal operation, the unit is ready for normal and emergency service. If not, see the Troubleshooting section.

This unit features AC Activate technology which detects the presence of AC power and automatically engages the battery charging circuit. No manual unit (or “go”) connector needs to be joined. Instead, connecting the IPS (the IPS is automatically connected on “SLTEST” models) and applying continuous AC power to the unit will enable charging and emergency operation.

OPERATION

Normal Mode
A.C. power is present. The A.C. Driver operates the LED Module as intended. The ILBDW is in the standby charging mode. The IPS will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.

Emergency Mode
The A.C. power fails. The ILBDW senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emergency Mode. The LED Module is illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the ILBDW switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging.

TESTING & MAINTENANCE

Automatic Testing
The ILBDW is designed to automatically test the emergency function for 60 seconds each month, and 90 minutes every 12 months.
Self-testing works in conjunction with the IPS assembly. Any detected failures will be indicated by flashing of the three-color LED. See Table A for diagnosis.

Manual Testing
Manual testing of the ILBDW can be performed by pressing and releasing the IPS test button. Only initiate a manual test when the IPS status indicator light is GREEN (see Table A). Manual testing lasts 60 seconds and may be cancelled at any time during the test duration by pressing and holding
the IPS.

Table A: IPS Diagnostic Codes

STATUS INDICATION CONDITION
RED BATTERY IS CHARGING
GREEN BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED
OFF EMERGENCY MODE
FLASHING GREEN UNIT IS PERFORMING A TEST

FLASHING RED (ONCE PER 0.5 SEC.) BATTERY MAY BE MISSING
FLASHING RED (ONCE PER 6 SEC.) BATTERY FAILURE
TWO RED FLASHES LOAD FAILURE
THREE RED FLASHES ELECTRONICS FAILURE
FOUR RED FLASHES TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE

Load Calibration
To ensure proper operation, Load Calibration is required whenever the LED load connected to the ILBDW is changed. Note: Load Calibration happens automatically 48 hours after the ILBDW is first installed. If after installation, the connected LED load is changed, Load Calibration will need to be performed. This will happen automatically 48 hours after the ILBDW is re- initialized (see Maintenance section below). To manually initiate Load Calibration earlier, press and hold the IPS button for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the LED load will turn off. Release the IPS button. The LED load should turn back on and the IPS will begin FLASHING GREEN to indicate that the 60-second Load Calibration is commencing. Any failures detected during Load Calibration will be indicated on the IPS (see Table A).

Maintenance

When performing maintenance on the ILBDW or the emergency luminaire, the ILBDW battery circuit must be completely pow-ered down by performing the following steps:

  1. Disconnect AC power. The ILBDW will enter EMERGENCY MODE.
  2. Disconnect the battery circuit through one of the following methods:
    Method 1: This can only be performed within the first 30 seconds of EMERGENCY Mode – Press and hold the IPS button for approximately five seconds until the LED Module shuts off.
    Method 2 (“S” Models Only): Unplug the IPS

Once all power sources are disconnected from the ILBDW and emergency luminaire, proceed with required maintenance.
When maintenance is complete, reconnect the IPS (if unplugged from Method 2 above) and restore AC power to the emergency luminaire. The AC Activate circuitry will detect the presence of AC power and automatically re-activate the ILBDW battery charging circuit.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

CP Series Compatibility and Suitability of Use Guidelines

Addendum (Rev.11042014)
The purpose of this addendum is to sufficiently identify electrical compatibility and predictable emergency light output of the LED luminaire when used with the IOTA ILBDW CP Series LED emergency drivers. Verification of these operating traits does not constitute a code-compliant, as-installed emergency egress system. It is still the responsibility of the Designer/Specifier to assure appropriate light levels are achieved during emergency operation of the luminaire in accordance with Federal, state and local municipal codes regarding path of egress illumination.

  1. Determining Electrical Compatibility
  2. Verify that the Emergency Driver (ILBDW CP Series) selected does not exceed the power delivered to the LED array (voltage and current) of the normal driver.
  3. Verify that the normal operating point of the LED driver does not exceed 55 Vdc (for CP10/CP15 models) or 200 Vdc (for CP20 models).
  4. Calculating Lumen Output During Emergency Operation
  5. Assess luminaire/fixture data.
  6. DESIGNLIGHTS CONSORTIUM
  * Log onto the Design Lights Consortium website (www.designlights.org).
  * Click on “search the DLC Qualified Product List” button on the DLC homepage.
  * In the “search by keyword” text window enter: luminaire manufacturer name and part number.
  * Click on “Search” tab to open the “Qualified Products List.”
  * Determine per “RATED DATA” efficacy shown in lumens per watt – (lm/w).
  * Multiply lumens per watt by ILBDW CP rated output (example: lm/w x 10 watts). Refer to table “ILBDW MODEL SPECIFICATION CHART” below for the wattage of the specific ILBDW CP model to be used in the luminaire. (lm/w) x (ILBDW CP Watts) = Minimum emergency lumens of fixture.
  * Determine per “RATED DATA” the “wattage of the luminaire.”  

ILBDW MODEL SPECIFICATION CHART OUTPUT POWER (CONSTANT)

ILBDW CP10| 10 WATTS
ILBDW CP15| 15 WATTS
ILBDW CP20| 20 WATTS
3. Determining Adequacy of Means-of-Egress Lighting Levels

  1. Follow industry standards by utilizing availableness files and lighting design software for your dedicated emergency luminaires, with the above calculated emergency lumens, and validate your as-installed plans in accordance with the applicable life safety codes governing your project, typically 1fc on the ground along the full means of egress.
    While the ILBDW CP series has been found compliant with the requirements of UL Standard 924, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Designer/Specifier to assure the as-installed system delivers code-compliant path of egress illumination in accordance with Federal, State or local municipal requirements.
