• Consult local building code for approved wiring and installation.
• Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.

Ceiling and End Mount Installation

1. Connect input as shown in wiring diagram below and fasten canopy to the J-Box bracket.
2. Snap housing to canopy
3. Connect the battery (when applicable) to the PC Board.
4. Secure taceplate to housing and remove the proper arrow as required.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

NOTE Connect to a single source of power supply so that all lamps are simultaneously illuminated.
NOTE: Properly insulate the unused lead with a wire nut or other approved means.
WARNING: Unused wires must be capped using enclosed wire nuts.

OPERATION (Battery Backup)

1.  Apply AC power to the unit. The LED Indicator should turn RED.
2. After the battery has been left to charge for 24 hours, test the unit by pushing the switch. The LED indicator turns OFF and the LED board stays ON.
3. When the switch is released, the LEDs turn OFF and the LED indicator turns back to RED

MAINTENANCE

Caution: Always turn off AC power to the equipment before servicing. Servicing should be performed only by a qualitied service technician. Use only MANUFACTURER supplied replacement parts.

BATTERY:
The battery supplied with the Battery Backup model requires no maintenance. However, it should be tested periodically (see TESTING) and replaced when it no longer operates the connected fixtures for the duration of a 30-second or 90-minute test. The battery supplied in this equipment has a life expectancy of 5 years when used in a normal ambient temperature of 72°F.

TESTING

National Electric Code (NEC) and NFPA life safety code regulations require that routine tests need to be performed as listed below: Once every month, the unit needs to be tested for duration of 30 seconds. Push in and hold the test switch to perform this test Once every 12 months, a full 90 minute (per UL requirements) test needs to be performed on the unit. Disconnect power to the unit and leave it in the emergency mode. The LEDs should stay ON for at least 90 minutes.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS TESTING:

Introduction
Once the unit is properly installed according to the Installation instruction sheet and AC power is supplied, the EXIT will come ON. The dual-color LED indicator will also come ON, automatically initiating the self-diagnostic test function. The LED indicator points out the current unit status. A STEADY GREEN on the LED indicator indicates a normal service; BLINKING GREEN indicates that the unit is in testing mode; GREEN/RED FLASHING indicates that the battery is charging; RED (STEADY and BLINKING) would indicate a fault or a service alert. Refer to section 3 Fault Indication for more details. The LED indicator would be OFF when the unit is in Emergency mode.

Self- Diagnostic Service
The self-diagnostic function is factory preset without any field adjustment. The automatic self-diagnostic feature serves the following tests

• On-line real time monitoring of battery and LED(s): Identifies battery charging, disconnection and failure along with LED failures.
• Self-testing and a 30-second discharge once every 30 days (conforming to NFPA code requirements), after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Self-testing and a 30-minute discharge once every 180 days, after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.
• Self-testing and a 90-minute discharge once every 365 days (conforming to NFPA code requirements), after AC power has been supplied for a minimum of 24 hours.

Fault Indication

• A battery recharge failure will come up if the battery is NOT able to recharge within the 24hrs charging time
• A battery failure will come up if the battery is NOT able to operate the LED strip for the period of a discharge test

Manual Testing
This unit also provides for manual testing by pushing the test switch in a specific pattern. The different patterns and the resulting tests are listed in the table below.

‘2’ times
Push test button ‘3’ times (within 2 seconds)| 90-minute test; Green BLINKING ‘3’ times
Push & Hold test button (3-5 seconds)| System Interruption
Push & Hold test button (more than 6 seconds)| System Reset

Operation
During an electrical power failure, the LED strip will transfer into Emergency mode and stay LIT for a minimum of 90 minutes. To test this unit, the battery needs to be charged initially for 24 hours before depressing the test switch (to do manual test). On pressing the test switch, the LED strip will transfer into a SIMULATED Emergency mode with the LED indicator FLASHING/BLINKING Green. The LEDS will turn OFF after 30 seconds/30 minutes/90 minutes respectively.
