CAUTION:
The battery in this unit may not be fully charged. After electricity is
connected to unit, let the battery charge for at least 24 hours, then the
normal operation of this unit should take effect. To check, press the TEST
button. The lamps on the unit should turn on.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Consult local building code for approved wiring and installation.
- Disconnect AC power before servicing and installation.
- Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not use this equipment for anything other than its intended use.
- The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer will void the product listing and warranty and may cause an unsafe condition.
- Any service on this equipment should be performed by qualified personnel only.
- Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not be subject to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
- Use caution when servicing batteries.
- Cap unused wires with enclosed wire nuts or other approved methods.
- Make sure wire terminations are secure and leads are properly tucked in appropriate wire channels.
INSTALLATION
- Remove the front cover. When required, remove the battery to access J-Box mounting holes.
- Mount the equipment securely in place on the wall. Two additional ‘Key Hole’ mounting holes are located at the top of the unit housing in addition to the ‘J-Box’ mounting holes. These ‘2’ additional mounting slot holes must be used when the unit is mounted to the wall. Additional chain support may be required by local codes. Chain hook holes are provided at each end of the enclosure.
- Extend 24 hr AC supply of rated voltage to the equipment, which is furnished with a dual voltage (120/277V) field selectable input. Connect the unit to utility power using an approved connector. For the 120V supply connect the line wire to the black lead and for the 277V supply connect the line wire to the red lead. Connect the neutral wire to the white lead. The ground wire (green lead) needs to be connected in accordance with the local codes. DO NOT energize the circuit at this time. (CAUTION: Insulate the unused black or red wire. Failure to do so may cause an unsafe condition.)
- If remote fixtures are to be connected to the equipment extend the remote circuit in accordance with Articles 700 and 720 of the National Electric Code (NEC) and connect to the yellow and violet leads coming out of the unit. (CAUTION: The minimum wire size required by the NEC is 12 gauge Copper or equivalent. Your installation may require larger-sized wire to ensure that the voltage drop DOES NOT exceed 5%. Do not exceed the total output rating of the equipment including any additional mounted heads.)
- Install and connect the battery. Refer to the Illustration. Connect the Red(+) lead from the PC board assembly to the positive(+) terminal on the battery and the Blue(-) lead from the PC board assembly to the negative(-) terminal. (CAUTION: Observe polarity. Failure to connect the battery properly will result in equipment failure and an unsafe condition.) NOTE: The Emergency lights will NOT come ON at this time.
- Energize the unit with AC supply. The charge indicator will illuminate.
- Replace the unit cover.
- Adjust and focus the lighting heads as required.
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 a 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 emergency mode. The lamps should stay ON for at least 90 minutes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Condition – The emergency lights do not operate
- If the charge indicator light is off: Check that the circuit breaker for the AC supply is ON.
- If the charge indicator light is ON: Check that battery is properly connected. If the problem persists, Replace the battery. If remote lamps are connected to the equipment, then turn OFF the AC supply and disconnect the remote circuit wires from the equipment. Turn ON the AC supply and depress the test switch. If the local lamps (mounted on the equipment itse1n come ON, then check the remote circuit for short or overload conditions and correct as required. Reconnect the circuit wires and restore AC power.
If the local lamps don’t turn ON after disconnecting the remote circuit wires, then replace the battery.
Condition – Emergency lights are dim
Battery not fully charged. Allow the battery to recharge for 24 hours and then
retest. If the lights are still dim, replace the battery.
OPERATION
- Apply AC power to the unit. The LED Indicator should turn RED.
- After the battery has been left to charge for 2 hours, test the unit by pushing the switch. The LED indicator turns OFF and the lamps on the unit turn ON.
- When the switch is released, the lamps turn OFF and the LED indicator turns back to RED.
MAINTENANCE
Caution:
Always turn off the AC power to the equipment before servicing. Servicing
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. Use only
MANUFACTURER-supplied replacement parts.
- BATTERY: The battery supplied in this equipment 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 5-7 years when used in a normal ambient temperature of 72°F.
- OTHER: Clean lenses and replace lamps, as and when required.
