INSTALLATION:
DANGER!
Please note that there are two live
supplies, one switched and one permanent; please
ensure you isolate both before you undertake any
work on the emergency fitting.
01) Undo the screws at each end of the diffuser and
lift off.
02) Press the tabs protruding from the gear tray to
open.
03) Make the cable entry and fixing holes as required.
Inside the back of the fitting, there are markings
to assist you.
04) Using the back of the fitting as a template, mark
the position of the fixing holes on your mounting
surface.
05) Make fixing holes and fit plugs as appropriate.
06) Secure the back of the fitting to the mounting
surface using suitable fixings (not supplied).
07) Apply a silicon sealant to the fixings if moisture or
weather-proofing is required.
08) Fitting a cable gland will also be necessary if
moisture or weather-proofing is required.
09) Thread the supply cable through the entry point
and into the fitting.
10) Make connection to the mains supply according
to the colour code below. Take care not to leave
any strands protruding from the terminals and
that the terminals clamp onto the bare wire and
not onto the insulation.
N
- Neutral (Blue/Black)
L
- Permanent Live (Brown/Red)
11) Mark the current date on the battery pack.
12) Connect the battery pack to the circuit board.
13) Close the gear tray and press back onto the clips.
14) Replace the diffuser and tighten securely.
15) Restore the power supply. The LED should light to
indicate correct charging.
MAINTAINED VERSION ONLY:
if the link has been
left in place, the fitting should also light. If you have
connected a switch across the terminals, test the
operation of your switch.
OPERATION CHECKS:
Periodic testing should be carried out to ensure
emergency lighting is operating correctly.
Interruption of the supply, causing the fitting to be
energised from the battery, should be carried out by
the operation of a local keyswitch or other isolation
device. During this period all fittings should be
examined visually to ensure that they are functioning
correctly. At the end of the test period the supply
shall be restored and all indicator lamps or devices
checked to ensure that the normal supply has been
restored.
DAILY:
Visual inspection of the battery charge LED.
EACH MONTH:
Isolate the power supply for a period sufficient to
ensure that each lamp is illuminated. Endorse the
test record form supplied.
ONCE EACH YEAR:
Isolate the power supply and check that the light is
still illuminated after 3 hours. Endorse the test record
form.
Because of the possibility of a failure of the normal
lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of
testing of the emergency lighting system or during
the subsequent recharge period, all full duration
tests shall wherever possible be undertaken
preceding time of low risk to allow for battery
recharge.
NOTE: please keep this instruction booklet and
the test record in a safe place. A fire officer or
other authorised person may want to see your
record of inspection and testing.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Power: Non Maintained: 3W / Maintained: 5W
• Continuous illumination: >3 hours in emergency
operation
• Battery: 3.6V Ni-Cad, 3 x C cells 1500mAh
• Recharge time: 24 hours
• Over-discharge protection: Yes
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The control gear must be operated only within the
enclosure supplied. The gear must not be operated
outside of the enclosure.
When energised by a constant mains supply, the
battery will be constantly charged whether or not
the lamp is illuminated. On failure of the constant
mains supply, the fitting will switch automatically
using transistorised switching from battery charging
to battery discharge powering the lamp whether
or not the lamp was illuminated before the power
failure.
LAMP REPLACEMENT:
DANGER!
NOTE:
this unit has a permanent live mains supply,
please ensure you isolate before removing cover.
There may also be a seperate switched supply that
controls the emergency light fitting - this also needs
to be isolated.
MAINTAINED MODEL ONLY:
NOTE:
To convert the maintained fitting to non-
maintained operation, remove the link between
terminals “L” and “LI”.
NOTE:
If the lamp is to be switched, remove the link
from between the terminals “L” and “LI” and connect
cable from your switch into ‘LI’.
