OPERATION DIAGRAM
For Maintained Operation – Maintained operation, link L (Switched Live) to
terminal Ls (permanent Live). If ‘Ls’ is not connected, the fitting works as
non-maintained.
All self-contained emergency lighting luminaires require a continuous (un-
swtiched) 220V-240V single phase 50hz (L) supply to keep the inbuilt batteries
charged.
Please note: the LEDs contained in this fitting are not designed to be
replaced.
INSTALLATION OF THE FITTING
Installation should only be carried out in accordance with the current edition of the “Regulations for Electrical Installations” EN61547 and with the requirements of BS EN 60598-1. Don’t do a high voltage insulation test on the luminaire as this may damage the control gear. Before starting the installation ensure that the electricity supply is isolated and that it cannot be reenergized accidentally.
- Remove the front diffuser from the body by removing the 2 fixing screws.
- Release the gear tray by easing the plastic clips away from the tray and by lifting the tray away from the base.
- There are four cable entry holes on this fitting. One on the rear and one on each side of the plastic body. Drill out the intended cable entry hole suitable for your installation.
- Drill out the two fixing holes located on the back of the luminaire, hold the luminaire in the required location and use these holes as a template mark on the location of the fixing holes on the wall/ceiling (Please note when drilling fixing holes in the wall/ceiling be careful not to damage concealed wires or pipes.)
- Fix the luminaire to the wall/ceiling using suitable screws and fixings (not supplied).
- Connect the mains supply wiring as follows.
- For component protection in transit and user safety the luminaire battery fuse is supplied in the fitting.
- When all connections have been made reassemble the fitting completely.
- Restore the supply and check that the Green LED indicator illuminates to confirm the batteries are charging. There are three possible reasons when the green LED indicator does not light up:
- there is no power supply AC220-240V,
- the batteries are not properly connected to the PCB,3) the batteries are not being charged.
- Allow a short period for partly charging the batteries and then isolate the mains supply to the fitting in order to check the correct operation of the fitting in emergency mode. After 36 hours on continuous charge (and only at a safe time) a mains failure should be simulated to ensure that the fitting illuminates for its rated emergency duration. The luminaire will have a 1-hour backup after 14 hours charging and will be fully charged after 24 hours (first charge 36 hours)
MAINTENANCE
Once the luminaire no longer meets the rated emergency operation the batteries must be replaced. AND batteries must be replaced after a maximum of 4 years in service. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified person. Please recycle disposal of replaced components where facilities exist. Special care should be taken if it’s required to open the fitting as the fitting may still be “live” even though the mains supply has been isolated. In these circumstances immediately disconnect the battery supply. Servicing and cleaning should only be carried out after the fitting has been made electrically safe. Cleaning of luminaires should be carried out at regular intervals not only to ensure good optical performance but also ensure that dirt does not accumulate to such an extent as to impair the electrical or thermal safety of the fitting.
