SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND DELIVER THEM TO THE OWNER AFTER INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION and MOUNTING

• IMPORTANT: Provide each unit with a single-phase AC un-switched power supply from a 120 V to 347 V circuit used for normal lighting. PRODUCT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE RATED INPUT VOLTAGE IS EXCEEDED.
• WARNING: During the installation of remotes, input wires from the main unit to remote units must NOT be connected to each other or connected to the ground. Failure to do so will lead to the failure of the main unit.
• NOTE: The battery must be connected to the charger board prior to applying AC power to the unit. Battery damage may occur if the battery is connected for longer than 24 hours without continuous AC power provided. See also “Important Battery Information”, page 3.
• NOTE: The maximum mounting height of DSL46 SP640L is 28.5 feet, the DSL46 SP1100L is 41.4 feet and the DSL46 SP2200L is 62.4 feet respectively, to meet the minimum illumination requirements of NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code).
• NOTE: Before installation, choose a location that allows adequate clearance for sliding the Rear Housing onto the Mounting Bracket (minimum 6-1/2” above the top edge of the Bracket)
• NOTE: Do not connect the battery or power unit until remote units (if applicable) are fully connected and wires are isolated from other potentials (i.e. remote wires shall be isolated from earth ground).

MOUNTING BRACKET

Universal Mounting Bracket

• Wall/Ceiling mounting- Locate the mounting bracket in the desired location using “Wall/Ceiling Mounting Holes” (see Fig. 1). Install using four (4) 30 lbs. minimum pullout rated fasteners. The mounting surface should be suitable to support 120 lbs.
• Pole/Column Mounting-
  1. Unistrut Mounting holes for most standard configurations.
  2. Steel Banding Slots for routing around poles and I-beams. (See “Pole Mount Banding “above”).

After the Mounting Bracket is in place and the conduit is near, slide the enclosure downward onto the Mounting Bayonets (See Figure 2). The enclosure will be in place when the snap-lock feature is engaged in the hole in the Mounting Bracket.

SURFACE CONDUIT MOUNTING

1. At the top left or either side of the housing, drill a hole sized for the chosen conduit fitting. Conduit entry points can accommodate a hole up to 1” in diameter and have a wall thickness of up to .25”. Secure mounting plate to a wall surface using fasteners with a minimum pullout rating of 30 lbs. each.
   IMPORTANT: prior to drilling out a hole in the top conduit location, remove the charger board assembly to ensure no damage occurs to the charger board.

2. Remove any debris from the enclosure, as it may harm electronic components or compromise the enclosure seal. Install a UL-listed, water-tight fitting that is suitable to the size of the incoming conduit and hole drilled in step 1. The fitting must prevent water ingress at the sealing joint with the enclosure, as well as from moisture that may be inside the conduit itself. Make code-approved wire connections to the AC power supply and remote lamps (if applicable).
   IMPORTANT: Follow any manufacturer recommendations when attaching the conduit to the conduit fitting. Failure to do so can lead to moisture buildup in the conduit which may leak into the housing and damage the unit .

NOTE:
Emergency lighting systems should be tested in accordance with NFPA 101 or as often as local codes require, to ascertain that all components are operational.

NOTE:
Allow batteries to charge for 24 hours before initial testing.

Manual testing:
If the batteries are sufficiently charged, either press and release the “TEST” button or use the RTKITHLP (remote tester accessory for SDRT units) on the bottom of the unit to activate a 60-second test, during which the lamps will turn on. Triggering either option a second time will enable 90-minute tests indicated by 5 flashes of the lamps. Triggering either option a third time will disable manual testing.

Self-Diagnostics (SDRT feature)
Units with this option automatically perform a 5-minute self-diagnostic test of the charging electronics, battery, and lamps every 30 days, and a 90-minute test every year, indicating system status as shown in the table at right. The first self-test occurs after 15 days of continuous AC Power.

Postponing a self-test:
If an automatic self-test occurs at a time when it is not desirable for the unit lamps to be on, it can be postponed for 8 hours either by pressing and releasing the “TEST” button or by using RTKITHLP (remote tester accessory).

Canceling emergency operation:
While in emergency Mode, press and hold the “TEST” button for several seconds or activate using the RTKITHLP (remote tester accessory), during which the status indicator will flash until the lamps turn off. This restores the AC Reset state in which the unit is shipped.

Load-Learning feature:
Self-Diagnostic units automatically ‘learn’ their total connected lamp load during the first scheduled self-test (~15 days). The load-learn clear process can be initiated manually and should be initiated whenever the total connected lamp load of the unit is changed, or potentially troubleshooting a lamp error (unit indicates a lamp error yet all lamps are operating correctly) or a lamp is replaced.

To clear the current load-learn, press and hold the “TEST” button for 7 seconds (count green flashes), during this period the lamps will turn on. After 7 seconds, release the button, the lamps will turn off within 2 seconds indicating the load clear is complete. If lamps stay on longer, the load clear was not successful and the process should be repeated. A new load learns will automatically take place at the next discharge from a fully charged state (solid green status indicator).

Clearing a failure indication:
After a failure, condition has been corrected and power is restored to the unit, clear the failure indication either by pressing the “TEST” button once or by using the RTKITHLP (remote tester accessory).

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION:
Batteries are perishable items. For best results, it is recommended that the batteries receive an initial charge within the first twelve months of the manufacture date of the fixture. In many cases, batteries beyond the initial charge recommendation time frame will recover if fully charged soon after installation. If such a battery does not recover after a full initial charge, it should be replaced. The manufacture date can be found on the outside of the unit packaging and on the product label as part of the Date Code/Series. The first two digits in the date code represent the year and the second two digits represent the month.

Unit Status Indications
The “TEST” button illuminates to indicate the following conditions:

Remote Test (SDRT):
(RTKITHLP sold separately) Units with the self-diagnostics/remote test feature allow manual test activation using a laser pointer. Aim the laser beam straight onto the circular area labeled near the “TEST” button for a few moments to activate a 60-second test. (See also “Manual testing”) A test in progress may be canceled by aiming the beam at the test area again. NOTE: The remote tester should not be used to initiate the Load Learning feature.
