The EL500 unit can be operated in  six different modes. 

NOTE: After 

installation, the battery reaches maximum charge in about one week.

 

Night Light ON

 — Press the lens once when the night light is 

OFF and the night light will come ON at 25% of full brightness. 
In this mode the night light is powered by the building current.

Night Light OFF

 — Press the lens once when the night light is 

ON and the night light will power OFF. 

Power Failure Light ON

 — When building current is discon-

nected (e.g., during a power failure), the power failure light will 
automatically come ON at 100% of full brightness and remain lit 
until the battery is discharged (4 hours at a full charge). 

NOTE: 

As the battery runs out of power, the unit will begin to flash and 
will continue to do so until all power is drained from the battery 
or power is restored.

Power Failure Light OFF

 — When the power failure light is ON 

(and the unit is operating on battery power), press and hold the 
lens for 5 or more seconds to manually turn it OFF. 

NOTE: You 

can press and hold the lens again for 5 or more seconds to turn 
the power failure light back ON.

Battery Test

 — After battery has had a minimum of 1 week to 

charge, press and hold the lens for 5 seconds to switch the unit 
from building current to battery power, which turns ON the light 
at the 100% brightness level. If the light doesn’t come on, the 
battery is dead or damaged.

Smoke Alarm Signal ON

 — When the EL500 receives a signal 

from a connected smoke alarm or security system, the power 
failure light will flash ON and OFF continuously at one-second 
intervals until the alarm signal is removed, or until the battery is 
drained (4 hours for a fully charged battery).
