GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is designed for surface mounting on a wall or other sold surface (building support structure, column, etc.) using the
four holes provided on the housing mounting flnges. Unit must be mounted high enough to maximize illuminated area under
anticipated conditions of use. Be sure to allow ample clearance for mounting and aiming the lighting heads.
Provide each unit with a single unswitched power supply from a 120 or 277VAC branch circuit used for normal lighting in the same
area. The wiring should be permanent installation, using appropriate size wire.
Note
: De-energize AC circuit to unit during initial installation, and during servicing or relamping operations.
PLACING THE UNIT IN SERVICE
1. Fasten enclosure to wall surface using appropriate hardware (not provided).
2. Remove the five (5) cover retaining screws and open unit.
3. Connect remote lamps (if used) to blue (+, fused) and yellow (–) leads (Fig. 1).
4. Connect 120 or 277VAC input connections to transformer (Fig. 1). Connect green wire to building ground.
Note
: insulate the unused transformer lead to prevent potential shock hazard.
UNITS SUPPLIED WITH LEAD-CALCIUM BATTERIES
5. Determine proper battery and wiring configuration (See inside cover label for battery and wire configurations).
6. Connect positive (+, red) and negative (–, yellow) battery harness leads from printed circuit board to corresponding battery
terminals (See inside cover label for battery and wire configurations).
7. Check all wiring for loose or missing connections.
8. Replace cover. Tighten retaining screws. Adjust lighting heads to desired position.
9. Energize unit with AC power. Press and hold the “TEST” button (see Fig. 1 for “TEST” button location) to confirm
illumination and proper aiming of emergency lamps. (“AC ON” indicator LED should go off). Release the “TEST” button;
emergency lamps should extinguish. Normal operation begins.
10. Normal Operation: with power supplied, “AC ON” LED indicator is illuminated and emergency lamps are off.
ROUTINE TEST CYCLING
1. Every three (3) months: If there has been no power failure, press and hold the “TEST” button for at least thirty (30) seconds
to confirm emergency lamp operation. Release “TEST” button to return to battery charging mode.
2. Once a year: Perform a full battery conditioning cycle by de-energizing the AC circuit to which the unit is connected, and
allow the unit to operate for ninety (90) minutes on battery power. Following successful test, energize AC circuit to begin
battery charging cycle.
REPLACING EMERGENCY LAMPS AND BATTERIES
