INSTALLATION
Installation should only be carried out in accordance with the current edition of the "Regulations for Electrical Installations" EN61547 and with the
requirements of BS EN 60598-1
Do not high voltage insulation test the luminaire as this may damage the control gear
Before starting the installation ensure that the electricity supply is isolated and that it can not be re-energised accidentally.
1. Remove the front di user by pressing where indicated.
2. There are 2 cable entry holes on this tting on either side of the body. Knock out the intended cable entry hole suitable for your installation
3. Hold the luminaire in the required location and use xing holes as a template Mark the xing holes on the wall (please note when drilling xing holes, be
careful not to damage concealed wire or pipes.)
4. Fix luminaire to the wall using suitable screws and xings (not supplied)
5. Connect the mains supply wiring as shown below.
Switched Live (Brown)
Unswitched Live (Brown)
Earth (Green/Yellow)
Neutral (Blue/Grey)
Ensure that all connections are rmly secured and there are no loose strands omitted
1. When all connections have been made reposition the front cover ensuring it is rmly attached.
2. Restore the supply and check that the green LED indicator illuminates to con rm the batteries are charging.
3. Allow a short period for part charging of the batteries and then isolate the mains supply to the tting in order to check the correct operation of the
tting in emergency mode. After 36 hours on continuous charge (and only at a safe time) a mains failure should be simulated to ensure that the tting
illuminates for is rated emergency duration.
The luminaire will have 1 hour backup after 14 hour charge and will be fully charged after 24 hours
Once the luminaire no longer meets its rated emergency operation the batteries must be replaced, regardless all batteries must be replaced after a
maximum of 4 years in service
Maintenance
Repairs should only be carried out by suitably quali ed person. Only replacement components authorised by the company should be used. Disposal of
replaced components should be in accordance with component manufactures instructions.
Special care should be taken if its the required to open the tting that which is necessary for lamping as the tting may still be “live” even though the mains
supply has been isolated. In these circumstances immediately disconnect the battery supply.
Servicing, cleaning etc should only be carried out after the tting has been made electrically safe.
Cleaning of luminaires should be carried out at regular intervals not only to ensure good optical performance but also ensure that dirt does not accumulate
to such an extent as to impair the electrical or thermal safety of the tting

lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of testing, all tests should, whenever possible, be undertaken at times of least risk, e.g. during daylight hours.
Once A Day
Visual inspection of battery charge led.
Once A Month
Each unit should be energised from it’s battery for adequate time to ensure, by simulation of a failure of the normal lighting supply, the emergency mode is
functioning correctly.
