5. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the
TBTS
. Annotate Re-lamping label for lamp type and wattage. The
Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone attempting to ser-
vice the fixture.
6. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
A. When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the
I-42-EM-B
unit connector.
B. Replace the ballast cover, fixture lens and other fixture hardware.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
– A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The
I-42-EM-B
is
in the standby charging mode. The
TBTS
will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
– The A.C. power fails. The
I-42-EM-B
senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to
the
Emergency Mode
. One lamp or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When
the A.C. power is restored, the
I-42-EM-B
switches the system back to the
Normal Mode
and resumes battery charging.
See page 1 of the Instruction Manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the red lens on the
TBTS
turns off the light on the
TBTS
and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupt-
ing power to the designated A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the
I-42-EM-B
unit. After releasing
the
TBTS
, the fixture returns to normal operation after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the circuit
breaker to turn off A.C. power.
Initial Testing
– Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test by depressing the
test switch. Allow a 24 hour charge before conducting a one hour test.
The
I-42-EM-B
is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety
Code, outlines the following schedule:
Monthly
– Insure that the
TBTS
light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the
TBTS
. One
lamp or two lamps should operate at reduced output.
Annually
– Insure that the
TBTS
light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1½ hour discharge test. The unit should operate as
intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
