Mounting and Operating Manual
Central Battery System EURO ZB.1

CEAG Notlichtsysteme GmbH
The central battery systems EURO ZB.1
and EURO US.1 are intended for moni-
toring and controlling lighting plants for
general and emergency lighting purpo-
ses.
The system operates under program
control. Setting parameters must exclu-
sively be carried out by expert personnel
having special knowledge of statutory
and technical fundamentals governing
the erection and operation of lighting
systems.
The system has been designed and built
to reflect the latest technical rules with
respect to system safety.
The extensive use of electronic devices has
significantly increased in the last few years
so that the resultant radio interference may
cause major problems as every electronic
unit, machine or system transmits interfe-
rence of various kind.
Such interference may cause hazards
particularly in highly automated industrial
environments. It may lead to malfunc-
tions or even failure of entire plant units.
Due to superimposition of different kinds
of interference the total radiation interfe-
rence level will increase and requires sy-
stems and components to be protected
against electromagnetic impairment. Es-
pecially in the field of industrial process
technology is instrumentation equipment
interference immunity a must. Therefore,
all electronic units and appliances must
have CE certification.
CEAG products meet the requirements
laid down in EU Directives 89/336/EWG
(EMC Directive) and 73/23/EWG as
amended by the 93/68/EWG Directive
(Low Voltage Directive) and are approved
to bear the CE symbol. If luminaires with
electronic ballasts satisfy the EMC rules
interference caused by the high-frequen-
cy operation of the ballasts is well within
statutory limits. Nevertheless, it cannot
be ruled out that electronic devices may
be affected in exceptional cases. Basi-
cally, only HF paging systems (in the MHz
range) must be employed. No reliable
operation is possible if inductive paging
systems (25-40kHz) are used.
Nevertheless, danger may arise during
plant operation
to personnel if the safety instructions
are disregarded,
if the unit is used for other than the
intended purpose.
Therefore, operate the system and any
system component attached only when
in perfect technical condition and obser-
ve
the safety and danger notes included
in this mounting and operating manu-
al,
work procedures and safety instruc-
tions prescribed by the plant Owner/
Operator,
the installation and operating data
listed in Chapter 3 „Technical Data“
und in CEAG catalog „Safety Lumin-
aires and Safety Lighting Systems“.
Malfunctions that may impede the
functioning or safety of the plant must at
once be reported to the respective level
of the plant management and have to be
eliminated without delay.
The working and safety rules and regula-
tions are to be observed as laid down in
this mounting and operating manual and
furthermore as they arise from
organizational measures initiated by
the Plant Management as described
under
– „1 Important Notes“,
– „4
Important Notes on Safety
at Work and Safe Operation of
the Emergency Lighting System
EURO ZB.1“
as well as from the general and
specific accident prevention rules and
regulations.
CEAG will not assume any warranty or
liability for damage or consequential
damage occurring as a result of
using the system for other than the
intended purpose,
disregarding rules and regulations
governing the safe operation of the
system,
unauthorized or inexpert modificati-
ons to
– the connections and settings of the
system,
– or the programming of the system,
operating devices or device groups
in conjunction with the EURO ZB.1
system that are unsuited or not per-
mitted.
Intended Use
Attention!
CEAG Notlichtsysteme GmbH
will not assume any liability and/
or warranty for shortcomings
relating to the supply and instal-
lation of CEAG safety lighting
systems and luminaires that
may arise due to other stan-
dards and regulations prescri-
bed for or applicable to overall
installation packages of which
CEAG products form part.
In addition, be sure to ob-
serve all laws, standards and
guidelines applicable in the
country where the equipment is
mounted and operated.
Warning!
When planning a lighting system
of which the EURO ZB.1 sy-
stems forms part please check
initially whether the planned
electrical installations meet the
environmental requirements of
the respective mounting locati-
on. Special ambient conditions
(eg. hazardous areas or zones
where aggressive atmosphere
prevails) call for special equip-
ment and installations.
Notes:
When using other ballasts plea-
se check if they are suitable for sa-
fety lighting systems and operation
within a EURO ZB.1 system!
The optimum battery operating
temperature for emergency lighting
supply is +20 °C.
Lower temperatures will impair the
available capacity.
Higher temperatures will reduce the
usability period.
The technical data apply to a nomi-
nal temperature of +20 °C..
Using RCDs in the mains lead
with a release current > 30 mA to
protect against indirect contact acc.
to VDE 100 part 410, please observe
that capacitive leakage current can
cause fault activations!
