Construction sites

Continuously switching of the mains power supply that is connected to emergency light fittings during the construction 
phase of an installation will cause these fittings to discharge and charge their batteries many times over a short period; 
this can shorten the life of the battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life. ABB does not recommend 
such practices and may not honour the warranty on batteries when they are subjected to such harsh operating 
conditions. Emergency light fittings are designed to be discharge tested once every 6 months as per AS/NZS2293.2, 
subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded as an abuse of the fittings.

Trouble shooting guide

If you have installed and connected the unit as per the instructions listed earlier and it does not function correctly, use the 
following table as a guide to fixing the problem. Look up the type of fault in the left column and check the possible causes 
from the right column.

If the unit still does not work after checking these possible causes, contact ABB service in Australia on 1300 666 595, 
Monday to Friday, 7.00am to 5.00pm (AEST) and ask for help. Our trained service personnel will usually be able to
