1)  Most likely the battery is not connected; verify that it is connected 
to the BAT location of the main PCA.

>

2)  If the battery is connected, then it is faulty and needs to be 
replaced.

BATTERY LED FLASHING AFTER POWER-UP:

>

It is normal for the CHARGER LED to go ON solid right after the power-up sequence from installation.

>

This indicates the battery is charging, and the LED will go out when the battery is at full charge ( this usually occurs within 24-96 hours after installation).

>

The charger LED may cycle from off to on solid as the system charging algorithm dictates.  This is normal.

>

Before initiating manul tests, allow  the system to fully charge until the CHARGER LED is off.

Normal Power-Up Sequence

>

The unit automatically performs diag testing at all power-up, and initializes itself.

>

The system is capable of instantaneously detecting lamp failures, and is indicated by a flashing LAMP LED.

>

The system also constantly monitors and controls all functions:  the charging circuit, the battery, the input power 
level, the EXIT LED’s, and operator manual tests.

>

The charge circuit is computer controlled by an algorithm that is monitoring the environment, levels of the battery, 
and curves associated to each.  The system learns these parameters and then remembers them  to provide better 
life and performance of the emergency lighting system.

>

The units monthly 30/min discharge testing is randomized according to Ul924.  Then within each 30/day period 
thereafter the unit shall perform the 30/min test.

AUTO-DIAG TESTING:

REMOVE THE INPUT POWER IMMEDIATELY IF ALL RED LED’S ON 
THE OP-PANEL FLASH.   This indicates that the input power is incorrectly 
wired, and needs to be corrected.  IF 277 is applied to the 120 tap for 
more than 7/sec, then the fusable-link may open requiring the transformer 
to be replaced.  Note that this condition is not covered by warranty.
