Installation instructions
Important: The mounting holes are at the same location as the lid’s screws. The holes centre
distance is 167 x 257mm. If the mounting holes are drilled through the enclosure, the installer must
seal the holes with suitable sealant to maintain the enclosure IP rating integrity.
1.
Undo 4 screws and remove the transparent lid.
2.
Remove the top plate from the gear tray by unscrewing 2 screws.
3.
Unscrew 4 screws from the gear tray then remove the gear tray and top plate assembly completely
from the enclosure. Decide on the mains entry (back or side) then drill a cable entry hole to suit the
conduit or cable gland size. Remove all burrs and sharp edges around the cable entry hole and make
sure the enclosure is free of dust. For cable side entry; the hole centre is 25mm from the base.
4.
Determine the mounting location, hold the enclosure in position and secure it in place by appropriate
M4 screws (due to the wide variety of building construction materials, fasteners are not supplied).
Make sure the mounting screws are fixed into solid material that is strong enough to support the
weight of the fitting which is approximately 4kg.
5.
Re-install gear tray to the enclosure.
6.
Run mains cable inside the fitting as appropriate.
7.
Terminate mains wires to the terminal block. Be careful with multi-strand conductors that all the
strands are twisted together before insertion into the terminal block. Any stray strands that
inadvertently come into contact with their neighbouring terminal will cause undesirable results when
fitting is powered.
Important: 24 hours is required to allow the fitting battery to reach full capacity, ie: prior to a
discharge test. As the installer, it is your responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of
the installed fitting. Refer to AS/NZS 2293.

8.
Connect the DALI control cable to (DALI +) and (DALI -).
9.
Connect the battery cable and lamp head cable to the control pack and re-install the top plate.
10.
Check operation of the fitting to ensure that the installation was successful. Once powered up, allow
a few minutes to give the battery a small charge, then press the test button located at the Spitfire
lamp head. Hold the test button in for a few seconds and observe the operation of the lamp
switching from mains to the emergency mode. If the lamp on emergency mode works momentarily,
that’s okay. Try again in a few more minutes in case battery is completely discharged, it may take a
little time to charge up enough to operate even momentarily. After this time, press the test button
again and if the lamp does not work at all, check the supply, the connections and follow the
instruction given in the troubleshooting guide at the end of this document.
11.
If the installation is successful, secure the lid to the enclosure. Ensure to tighten the lid’s screws
properly to maintain the enclosure IP rating integrity.
Removal instructions
1.
Before removing the installed fitting, de-
energise and lock off the supply circuit.
2.
Remove the lid, disconnect the mains and DALI
wiring connections.
3.
Disconnect the battery connection from the
power pack.
4.
Undo the mounting screws and remove the
fitting from wall or ceiling.
DALI emergency features
DALI emergency comprises most of the
standard features of DALI in addition to
features and commands specific to emergency
products. Some of these are outlined below:
Rest
• To ensure maximum battery life (especially
through the construction stages), a smart
control system can use the rest command to
extinguish the emergency lamp (when
power has been lost) and limits the number
of continual charge and discharge cycles
present in the commissioning or installation
phase. This reduces the stress on the
battery and ensures the longest possible
life.
Function test
• A test designed to quickly check the fitting’s
functionality. During this short test the
fitting is able to check that the battery, lamp
and circuitry are all working correctly. The
result of this test is stored and can be
returned to the control system when
required.
Duration test
• The most important test for an emergency
device is the duration test. This test allows
the device to change to emergency mode
and discharges the battery.
• You will need to allow 24 hours for the
battery to fully charge prior to conducting
this test, presently (at the time of writing),
the standard requires that fittings operate
in emergency mode for a period not less
than 2 hours for their commissioning test
and for not less than 90 minutes thereafter
(it is required that 6 monthly discharge tests
be carried out). The result of the test is
stored and can be returned to the control
system when required.
Inhibit
• Another measure that can be initiated by the
control system is the inhibit feature which
can stop the emergency DALI device from
going into emergency mode.
Prolong time
• The prolong time function of the emergency
DALI protocol gives installers the ability to
prolong the emergency light’s emergency
state. This time can be set from 0 to 60
minutes and can ensure that a safe lighting
level is present after a short power failure.
