4.  When correctly installed, the position labels inside the reflector will 

be aligned with the “STOP” indicator on adapter ring. 

5.  The reflector can be removed by rotating counterclockwise 

until  the  three  reflector  tabs  are  free  of  the  captivating  bosses.                    

See Figure 6.

MAINTENANCE

• 

Perform visual, electrical, and mechanical inspections on a regular 

basis.  The environment and frequency of use should determine 

this.  However, it is recommended that checks be made at least 
once a year.  We recommend an Electrical Preventive Maintenance 
Program as described in the National Fire Protection Association 
Bulletin NFPA No. 70B: Recommended Practice For Electrical 

Equipment Maintenance (www.nfpa.org).

• 

The globe (and guard and reflector when used) should be cleaned 

periodically to insure continued lighting performance.  To clean, 
wipe the reflector, then the globe with a clean damp cloth.  If 
this is not sufficient, use a mild soap or a liquid cleaner such as 

Collinite NCF or Duco #7.  Do not use an abrasive, strong alkaline, 

or acid cleaner.  Damage may result.

• 

Visually check for undue heating evidenced by discoloration of 

wires or other components, damaged parts, or leakage  evidenced 
by water or corrosion in the interior.  Replace all worn, damaged, 
or malfunctioning components and clean gasket seals before 
putting the luminaire back into service.

• 

Electrically check to make sure that all connections are clean and 

tight.

• 

Mechanically check that all parts are properly assembled.

DMVFB EMERGENCY BALLAST INFORMATION

DMVFB Series Emergency Luminaires are supplied with an emergency 

ballast system.  Disconnect the emergency ballast connector prior to 
performing maintenance.  This will disconnect the charged battery from 
the lamp receptacle

The emergency ballast must be checked periodically to insure that it is 
working properly. 

The following schedule is recommended:

1.  Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly.  It should be 

illuminated at all times.  This indicates that the battery is being 
charged.  Test the emergency operation of the luminaire, at this 

time, for a minimum of 30 seconds.  This can be done disconnecting 

the power to the luminaire.  One lamp should operate with reduced 
intensity.

2.  Conduct  a  90  minute  discharge  once  a  year.    One  lamp  should 

operate at a reduced intensity for at least 90 minutes.
