107. Final Installation Checklist
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding to the System Start-Up Procedure (Section
108
) complete the Final Installation Checklist below.
1.
Insure the Inverter cabinet(s) is securely fastened to a wall or other structure.
2.
Insure that the input circuit breakers in the building service panel serving as the AC disconnect to the Inverter system
is in the OFF position.
3.
Check for proper ground connections in the Inverter electronics module cabinet.
4.
Check for any loose wiring connections in the Inverter electronics module cabinet.
5.
Check that correct nominal battery voltage (72 VDC) is present in the Inverter cabinet between the DC Input NEG
and POS. Refer to Section
105.3
for proper system DC voltage.
6.
Ensure that the
DC Input
and
AC Input
and any optional
AC Output
breakers are in the
OFF
position.
7.
Verify AC Input voltage to unit matches system voltage configuration.
108. System Start-Up Procedure
IMPORTANT:
The Inverter system is a sophisticated electronic backup power supply. Care must be taken to follow the steps below in their exact
sequence. Failure to do so will result in erroneous alarm messages and possible equipment failure.
CAUTION: Familiarize yourself with the shut down procedure in section 300.1 before proceeding with the Start Up.
1. Make sure the front cover/door is installed and secured shut.
2. Turn on the input circuit breaker in the building service panel serving as the AC disconnect to the Inverter system.
3. Open the front access panel so that the input/output circuit breakers within the Inverter unit are accessible.
4. Hold the Pre-charge Switch in the
“ON”
position for 30 seconds.
5. Release the Pre-charge Switch and immediately turn on the DC input breaker.
6. Turn on the AC input breaker as well as any optional AC Output circuit breaker(s) if supplied.
7. After approximately five seconds, the system should turn on, the lighting loads should be energized, the front panel's green
“AC-ON”
and
“OUTPUT VOLTAGE”
LEDs should illuminate. The
"OUTPUT CURRENT LED"
will illuminate only if the emergency lighting fixtures are
connected and operable.
109. System Verification
At this point, the connected load should be energized and LED 1, 2, and 3 on the unit’s status indicator panel should be lit. Depending on
the state of charge of the batteries the inverter may or may not come on when the test switch is depressed. Allow a 24 hour charge period
before testing the inverter system. If you need assistance, call
To simulate a power failure, simply press and hold the test switch for a momentary test, or open the AC input circuit breaker for a prolonged
test. The inverter will begin operating, the
"AC ON"
LED will go off, the
"OUTPUT VOLTAGE"
and
“OUTPUT CURRENT”
LEDs will remain lit
and the
“INVERTER ON”
LED will illuminate. All connected loads should be energized and operational, HID fixtures should not “wink-out".
Allow the inverter to run for several minutes or until satisfied with its operation. Close the AC input breaker to
end the test and return the unit to standby mode.
Note: It will take a few seconds for the unit to stabilize and return to standby mode
200. LED Status Indicators
The Inverter system is equipped with 5 LED indicators showing the operating mode of the inverter, and also to alert you of any possible
abnormal conditions. The ON/OFF status of the LEDs will indicate a very specific condition. The following table is used to illustrate as to
what these conditions may be:
Should an abnormal condition be detected, contact
Philips Emergency Lighting
Technical Support at
888-263-4638
for assistance. Do not
attempt to make any repairs yourself, the system is fed from more than one power source and extreme care must be taken before servicing.
