IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Disconnect power before performing work on electrical equipment.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. Do not let power cords touch hot surfaces and do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
5. Use caution when servicing batteries. Battery acid can cause burns to skin and eyes. If acid is spilled on skin or
eyes, flush with fresh water and contact a physician immediately.
6. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where unauthorized personnel will not readily
subject it to tampering.
7. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by Beghelli Canada Inc., may cause an unsafe condition,
and will void the unit’s warranty.
8. Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.
9. Servicing of this equipment should be performed by qualified service personnel.
10.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
INSTALLATION
Installation - Recessed T-Bar:
1. Extend unswitched 24 hour AC supply of rated voltage to an electrical junction box (supplied by others) installed in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards. Extend wiring from the junction box to the location where the unit will be installed. Leave at least 8
inches of slack wire at the end of the circuit. This circuit should NOT be energized/live at this time.
2. Remove the cover/exit assembly by grasping the backbox and pulling the cover away to expose the two (2) tension springs (figure 1).
Unhook the springs from the tabs inside the backbox to remove the cover/exit assembly. Use backbox the mark mounting position on
ceiling and cut hole for backbox.
3. Unit is supplied with electrical conduit knockouts stamped into the sides of the cabinet. Knock out the appropriate hole(s) and bring
wires through the hole(s) into the cabinet. Attach the circuit wires to the cabinet with an approved connector (not supplied).
4. Mount the unit securely into place. Do not rely on the suspended ceiling channel/grid (T-bar) as the only support for the unit. There are
two chain mounting holes provided on either side of the top of the unit. Chain or mounting wire should be secured through these holes
and then to a secure mounting above the suspended ceiling (figure 2).
5. Make proper wiring connections between the AC supply and the unit’s transformer per diagram provided (figure 3).
Insulate unused
wire!
Connect ground to supplied green ground wire in accordance with local codes. Reassemble all wire connections and connectors.
CAUTION! - Failure to insulate unused wire may result in a shock hazard or unsafe condition as well as equipment failure.
6. Uncoil the wire lead(s) from the Positive circuit board terminal (+) and connect to the positive terminal connector on the battery (figure 4).
7. Remove plastic bag surrounding exit and put on the plastic gloves located inside the bag before handling the sign directly (to protect
against smudges and smears).
8. Remove directional chevrons/arrows included in the bag and add to the sign as needed for your installation. The chevrons can be
peeled off the backing paper and will self-adhere to the sign.
See Chevron Placement Template.
9. Hold the cover/exit assembly upto the installed backbox and hook one of the tension springs into one of the internal tabs (figure 5).
10. Plug (2) lamp sockets into lamp (figure 4).
11. Plug male to female inline connectors (figure 4).
12. Route wires and secure in place.
13. Hook the other tension spring into the remaining tab and push the assembly back up into the housing until secure.
14. Position lamps/heads to provide best lighting distribution by loosening head set screws to adjust angle and swivel. Manually rotate or
twist head to desired position then tighten set screws to lock position.
CAUTION
This equipment is furnished with a sophisticated low voltage battery dropout circuit to protect the battery from over-discharge
after it’s useful output has been used. Allow 24 hours recharge time after installation or power failure for full-load testing.
OPERATION
1. To Test, depress the TEST Switch. Charge indicator will go out and the DC lamps will come on.
2. Release the TEST Switch. DC lamps will be extinguished, and the charge indicator will come on.
3. A bright charge indicator indicates a high charge rate. After the battery has reached full charge, the indicator light will
go out. Under normal operation the high charge indicator will turn off and on intermittently while the unit is in standby
mode (regular/mains AC present) since the charge rate will vary in order to maintain an optimal battery charge.
