Product Usage Instructions

To use the “POWER LIGHT” Series self-testing non-maintained emergency luminaires, follow the instructions below:

Ensure that the operation voltage is within the specified range of 220-240V AC and the frequency is between 50-60Hz.
Connect the luminaires to a suitable power supply using the provided cables.
During normal operation, the luminaires will consume a maximum of 13.3W/14VA of power.
The supply current should be maintained at 63mA AC. The luminaires will automatically charge the batteries with a current ranging between 230mA and 710mA.
The charging voltage should be maintained at 14.7V.
A trickle charge voltage of 13.7V with a current of 25mA will be applied to maintain battery health.
During an emergency, the luminaires will provide illumination using a discharge current between 1.7A and 2.3A.
The cutoff voltage U-OUT is set at 10.8V, indicating when the batteries are depleted.
The open circuit voltage is 18V when the luminaires are not in use.
Ensure that the control gear characteristics (Prated = 21.6W, Irated = 1.2A) are compatible with the luminaires.
If necessary, replace the control gear fuse with an 8A/250V FB fuse of size 5x20mm.
The control gear should not exceed a maximum temperature of 75°C at R11.
The luminaires are equipped with either a single 12V/7Ah battery (GRL-37/90) or two 12V/7Ah batteries (GRL-37/180).
The batteries are protected from overcharge and deep discharge to ensure their longevity.
Refer to the indications and controls for information on charging time and minimum autonomous duration.
The light source of the luminaires is an LED module, providing efficient and reliable emergency illumination.
The emergency illumination is produced in accordance with specified degrees of cover protection.

For detailed information on the LED module specifications, please refer to page 4 of the user manual.

GENERAL

These luminaires are used indoors (ta 40oC) where emergency light is needed. Each luminaire must be connected permanently to the mains power supply.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION

When the unit is connected to the main power supply (after connecting the battery) the indicator LAMP FAULT – BATT. FAULT remains OFF whereas the indicator POWER CHARGE blinks to indicate that the batteries are charging. When the batteries are fully charged this indicator will light permanently. If this indicator does not light then probably the battery has not been connected. If the batteries are connected and the indicator does not light then contact a qualified service technician for assistance. The charging procedure is monitored by a microprocessor and is based on a 3 stage cycle thus ensuring a fast and full charge of the battery. The charge current is supplied by a high efficiency switch mode power supply which ensures perfect charging even during the fluctuations of the mains power supply.

BATTERY CHARGE FAILURE DUE TO SHORTCUT
The recharging device will recharge the battery normally after the short circuit is removed and the batterie(s) are reinstalled.

BATTERY CUTOFF
The unit enters this state during the power supply failure and when the battery has been fully discharged. In this state the luminaire draws the least power from the battery in order to prevent deep discharge.

MANUAL TESTING
Is accomplished by briefly (<1 sec.) pressing the TEST button. This permits the user to test the good operation of the luminaire’s emergency circuit. The unit simulates a power failure and the lamps are lit using the batteries. This manual test does not affect the automatic test.

DIMMING OPTION
When the voltage is interrupted, with corresponding pressings of the button, we can choose the illumination of 100%, 50%, 33% or turned off, either to increase the autonomy time or not to consume the battery power unnecessarily. This option is canceled when the power network is restored.

LAMP TESTING
The luminaire tests the good condition of the lamps in emergency mode and warns the user for probable malfunction. If a lamp is found faulty then the LAMP FAULT indicator starts to blink. To verify which lamp is faulty use the TEST button. If the faulty lamp is replaced then the error is automatically restored and the indicator is turned OFF.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY CIRCUIT TEST
The unit automatically tests the emergency circuit every 15 days (if the battery and mains power are connected). During this test the lamps are turned ON for 3 seconds using the batteries. In some cases this function might not be acceptable (i.e in cinema theaters) so the installer must take this into account during the installation.

AUTOMATIC DURATION TEST
This test is conducted every 6 months by simulating a power failure, if the battery and mains power supply are connected. The unit lights the lamps using the charged battery and counts the time until the stated duration. If the lamps are ON during the end of the test then the unit is restored to its normal operation (lamps OFF and battery charging). If the lamps go OFF before the end of the test then the unit is restored to its normal operation but the LAMP FAULT / BATT. FAULT indicator is lit to show that there is a problem with the battery and that the battery must be replaced. Let it be noted that this duration test is also done during every long power failure. If the power failure lasts for a long time and the luminaire has entered the BATTERY CUTOFF mode and the duration measured is not correct then the fault indicator will light when the power is restored.

ERASING ERRORS
Erasing errors is accomplished with a prolonged pressing of the TEST button (>5 sec) when the unit is connected to the mains power supply. The fault indicated with the indicator LAMP FAULT / BATT. FAULT will be erased. If the cause of the fault has not been restored (i.e burned lamp) then the indicator will light again. If the fault was caused by a low emergency duration and you erase the error then this will be indicated again during the next duration test after 6 months. In this case (for duration errors) it is vital to replace the battery before erasing the error (the error is automatically erased if the mains power and the battery are disconnected).

WARNING !!!

Every test, installation or maintenance procedure must be done only by qualified personnel.
The unit must be connected to the mains power supply using a line fuse rated accordingly
The replacement of the battery and the light source must be done using parts of the same type, by the manufacturer or by a competent person.
If the luminaire must be isolated from the mains power supply for more than 2 months then the batteries must be disconnected by removing the battery connectors.
It is not allowed to discard batteries in to common trash bins, they must be discarded only in battery recycling points. Do not incinerate.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

(For wall mounting only)

olympia electronics GRL-37-90 Emergency Light-FIG1

Use the supplied mounting accessories to mount the device (Fig1).
Remove the four cover retaining screws (Fig 1).
Install the battery cable connectors to the batteries taking care of the polarity, black cable (-) and red cable (+).
Always use in any case round mains cable, with external diameter of 6-9mm (H05RN-F type 2x1mm² or any other type, at least equal to it’s mechanical and electrical properties).
ATTENTION!! The cable must not be deformed in any way (This requirement is important to ensure the tightness isolation IP42). Install the cable gland, pass the round cable through and tighten it.
Connect the cables to the respective positions in the terminal block L for phase and N for neutral.
Reinstall the front cover and fasten the retaining screws. (Tightening torque 1Nm). Pay attention to the 4 sealing o-rings.
WARNING!! After the installation has finished, charge the batteries for at least 24 hours so as to obtain the rated autonomous duration.

ATTENTION!! After installing the luminaire, you are advised to briefly press (<5sec) the test button in order to conduct a lamp test. If there is no fault indicator permanently turned on, it means that the luminaire is working properly in emergency mode. After 24 hours of the installation, you are advised to conduct a battery capacity test, by disconnecting the mains power supply from the luminaire. The luminaire should operate in emergency mode, for at least the nominal duration time. The result of the test will be available in the fault indication LEDs, after reconnecting the luminaire to the mains power supply. If there is no error indicated, it means that the luminaire will meet its nominal duration in case of an emergency. In case of any error, please contact the installer or the representative seller of this product.
