READ THIS FIRST:

Check the pack and make sure you have all of the 

parts listed on the front of this booklet. If not, contact 

the outlet where you bought this product.

This poduct must be installed by a competent 

person in accordance with the Building 

Regulations.

As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product it is 

your own responsibility to ensure that this fitting is fit 

for the purpose for which you have intended it. Eterna 

Lighting cannot accept any liability for loss, damage or 

premature failure resulting from inappropriate use.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Switch off the mains before commencing installation 

and remove the appropriate circuit fuse or lock off 

MCB.
The batteries supplied with this fitting are consumable 

parts and therefore may be outside of any warrant 

offered.
The unit is suitable for outdoor use.
This product is suitable for installation on surfaces 

with normal flammability (indicated by the “F” in a 

triangle) e.g. wood, plasterboard, masonry. It is not 

suitable for use on highly flammable surfaces (e.g. 

polystyrene, textiles). 
Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no 

obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface 

such as pipes or cables.
The chosen location of your new fitting should allow 

for the product to be securely mounted or suspended 

and connected to an apprprate mains supply (lighting 

circuit).
When making connections, ensure that the terminals 

are tightened securely and that no strands of wire 

protrude. 
Check that the terminals are tightened onto the bared 

conductors and not onto any insulation. 
This product must be connected to earth termination.

IMPORTANT - Always switch off mains power 

before opening fitting.

You are advised at every stage of your installation to 

double-check any electrical connections you have 

made. After you have completed your installation 

there are electrical tests that should be carried out: 

these tests are specified in the current IEE Wiring and 

Building Regulations. 

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

 

INSTALLATION:

1)  Choose the location of your new fitting giving 

consideration to all of the conditions listed above.

2)  Push down the gear tray and rotate the clip 

clockwise to align with the slots in the gear tray. 

Repeat on the other side of the gear tray. See  

Fig. 1.

3)  If fixing direct to a mounting surface, clear through 

the four mounting holes on the back of the fitting, 

visible from the outside, using a 5mm drill - see 

Fig. 2.

4)  Using the back of the fitting as a template, mark 

the location of the fixing holes on your mounting 

surface.

5)  If fixing directly to a solid surface, drill and plug as 

required. 

6)  Secure your fitting in position using the screws and 

washers supplied. Put the washer onto the screw 

before fixing. 

7)  Hanging clips are supplied (Fig. 2) to allow you to 

suspend the fitting from chains (not supplied). 

8)  Ensure that the chain is strong enough to support 

the weight of the fitting and that the tops of the 

chains are fixed securely to the mounting surface.

9)  Pierce the centre of the soft grommet at the end of 

the fitting adjacent to the supply wiring. Take care 

not to make the hole too large as the tight fit of 

the grommet to the cable is essential to maintain 

its IP rating. Alternatively, fit a gland/nut assembly.

10)  On the white metal gear tray, locate the 

lampholders in the rectangular slots at each end 

of the fitting. The lampholders must be positioned 

so that the slots on each lampholder face the 

centre of the fitting. (Fig. 3).

11) Thread the supply cable through the gland.
12)  Make connections with un-switched mains supply 

to terminals L E N (Fig. 5).

13)  To operate the fitting in non-maintained mode, 

remove the link from the terminals “L and L1” 

(Fig. 5).

14)  If the lamp is to be switched, remove the link wire 

from between the terminals marked “L and L1” 

and connect your switched wire to L1 (Fig. 5).

15)  Mark the current date on the battery pack.
16)  Connect the battery pack via the plug and socket.
17)  Refit the gear tray locking into position by rotating 

the clips see Fig. 1 step 2.  

18)  Fit the fluorescent tube(s) (not supplied) by 

pushing the pins into the slots in the lampholders 

and turning the tube through 90° or until it clicks 

into position. 

19)  Click all clips into place in bottom housing (Fig. 

4 step 1).

20)  Hold the diffuser in position on the fitting so that 

it is seated on the soft foam gasket all the way 

around. 

21)  Position the bottom of each fixing clip in the lip 

of the diffuser and press the thumb catches up 

and over to lock firmly in position. (Fig. 4 step 2 

and 3).

22)  Restore the power supply, switch on and also 

check the charging circuit via the green LED is 

operational.
