Step 4: Mount cable glands (not supplied). The base allows for in and out mains connection. The horizontal entry points allow for M20x1.5 cable gland mounting. The vertical entry points allow for M25x1.5 cable glad mounting
Depending on the diameter of the power cable select the most appropriate cable gland / entry:
- M20 cable gland for 10 – 13mm cable
- M25 cable gland for 13 – 15.5mm cable
info: Application of Loctite® 243 is recommend when installing the unit in high vibration areas
Step 5: Feed mains connection. Once suitable connections are made the incoming cable and optional outgoing cable are to be clamped. See the Operating Modes section to identify the appropriate wiring for your application.
- Active, Neutral, Earth and Control (optional) wires are to be wired and secured in their respective terminals.
- The Control terminal allows for a switched active line to be connected to the unit in order provide switching operation under normal working conditions. The EMBH only checks the Control terminal for the presence of a mains voltage level in order to determine if the
- LEDs should be on or off, which identifies respectively Maintained and Non-Maintained mode of operation. EMBH is powered only via the Active (A) terminal.
- Control Terminal voltage should be below 10VAC for EMBH to operate in a Non-Maintained mode.
- In the absence of switched active wire Maintained Mode is set by using a link between the “A” and “C” terminals (not included).
Step 6: Attach the lanyards from the light engine to the tabs located on base plate using the carabiner. Step 7: Connect the light engine to the base by connecting the power connection plug to the base power connection socket.
Step 8
- Put the Battery Isolation Switch in the ‘ON’ position if the unit is expected to be commissioned or put In-Service within the next 24-hours. This 24-hour window may be extended up to 14 days if a Battery Charge Cycle (see respective section) was completed within three months prior to the installation.
- Switching the Battery Isolation Switch to the ‘ON’ position will initiate the EMBH “TEST” mode, where the unit performs a self-check and enables the Battery Module to supply power to LEDs for a duration of 2 minutes. This indicates that the battery is functional and in working order. The LED’s will turn off after 2 minutes.
- The Battery Isolation Switch must be left in the ‘OFF’ position if the above conditions cannot not be met. Failing to do so may lead to battery depletion below a recoverable level. This type of failure is not covered under warranty
info: Switching the Battery Isolation switch to the ON position without having mains connected will result in the unit operating in EM mode for 2 minutes
Step 9: Secure the lid to the base using 4 captive screws. Ensure the base gasket is intact and free of any debris

Commissioning / Put In-Service
The commissioning of the EMBH involves the following:
- Verify that the EMBH is installed and wired appropriately as per the Installation Instructions.
- Ensure the Battery Isolation Switch is in the ‘ON’ position in accordance with Step 8 of the Installation Instructions.
- Supply mains power continuously for at least 16 hours.
- Conduct the Commissioning EM Operation test by disconnecting the mains power. The unit is deemed to have passed the test if light is produced for a minimum of 120 minutes.
The unit is considered to be In-Service once it is provided a minimum of 16 hours of uninterrupted mains supply following the Commissioning EM Operation test.
Testing (In-Service)
There are 2 ways to test the EMBH for EM Operation as outlined below.
NOTE : The unit needs to complete the Commissioning EM Operation test
prior to undergoing In-Service EM testing.
-
Test Button
- a. Press the Test Button to interrupt mains supply to the EMBH.
- b. The EMBH is deemed to have passed the test if the Red Indicator LED stops illuminating and Emergency Light is produced.
- c. Release the Test Button to allow mains supply to energize the EMBH and revert its operating state appropriate for the wiring configuration.
-
In-Service EM Test
NOTE: The EMBH should have a minimum of 16 hours of uninterrupted mains supply prior to the In-Service EM Test.- a. Disconnect power to the EMBH, the Red LED Indicator will stop illuminating and the unit will provide Emergency Light.
- b. The EMBH is deemed to have passed the test if it produces light for 90 minutes.
- c. Reconnect power to the EMBH. It will revert to its operating state appropriate for the wiring configuration.
Power Interruption
The EMBH is designed to provide reliable Emergency Light in the event of a power outage. Users can expect a minimum of 90 minutes of Emergency Light during In-Service operation when power is supplied for a minimum of 16 hours prior to the event.
If an area needs to be accessed prior to the EMBH completing the 16-hour charge period, the Coolon App can be used to identify the EMBH unit in the area and determine its calculated Emergency Light runtime – see “Predicted Duration” in the app. This allows the operator to determine if the emergency light output duration will be sufficient for their task in the event of a power interruption/outage.
If the EMBH is expected to be deenergised for more than 7 days, the Battery Isolation Switch must be set to the ‘OFF’ position. This will prevent the EMBH battery from depleting below the recoverable level due to the prolonged power interruption. Failing to do so may result in irreparable damage to the battery, which is not covered under warranty.
Storage / Removal from In-Service
The Battery Isolation Switch must be set to the ‘OFF’ position if the EMBH is to be removed from In-Service operation for storage, transportation or any other reason. Please ensure the EMBH has had a minimum of 16 hours uninterrupted mains power supplied prior to this. Take note of the date the EMBH is taken out of service and observe the requirements set in the Storage Shelf Life section.
Storage Shelf Life
The EMBH has a storage shelf life of up to 12 months when stored at a
temperature of 20±5°C after dispatch from the factory.
Storage temperatures outside of 20±5°C but within the specified unit operating
temperature limit will decrease the product shelf life to 6 months. The EMBH
should be put through a Battery Charge Cycle if it cannot be commissioned
within the prescribed shelf life. Following the Battery Charge Cycle, the EMBH
can be stored for a further period appropriate to the storage temperature.
Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in irreparable damage
to the battery since such a state would permanently alter the battery
chemistry. This type of failure is excluded from the warranty.
Battery Charge Cycle
-
Connect A (Active), N (Neutral) and E (Earth) terminals of the unit to mains voltage. Control line remains unconnected.
-
Turn the battery isolation switch to the ON (connected) position.
-
Energize the unit and allow to charge for 16 hours. A Red LED Indicator should be observed to stay ON.
Flashing Red LED Indicator means battery disconnected or a battery fault. -
De-energize the unit and disconnect mains supply.
-
Turn the battery isolation switch to the OFF (disconnected) position.
-
Record the date of the Battery Charge Cycle.
-
Pack the unit for storage or proceed to the next operation / installation step.
Battery Replacement Procedure
The EMBH emergency LED luminaire is designed to operate providing specified
emergency operating time using the in-built battery for the life of the
product. As a result, there is no field battery replacement capability.
Troubleshooting
The Red LED Indicator is flashing
Flashing Red LED Indicator means battery disconnected (Battery Isolation
Switch is in the OFF position) or a battery fault.
The unit does not turn off when the Switched Active / Control line is de-
energized
This may be one of two common reasons, either
- a. The induced voltage at the Control terminal is sufficiently high to signal the unit that the switch is still on. Check the voltage at the Control terminal or the Switched Active line to ensure it is below 10V.
- b. The Constant Active and Switched Active lines are wired into wrong terminals. Having a Switched Active line connected to the Active terminal will give the impression that the EMBH is operating correctly, however, when the Switched Active line is deenergized, the unit will interpret that action as a power loss and will start to provide Emergency Light. An inspection of the wiring would be able to identify if this is the case, alternatively, if the unit does switch off up to 2 hours after the line is deenergized, this would be a clear indicator of incorrect wiring. Under normal working “Switched” conditions, when the Switched Active line is deenergized, the EMBH will stop producing light and the Red LED Indicator will be visible indicating the presence of mains at its Active terminal.
