SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel
only.

Equipment should be mounted in locati ons a nd a t he ight s
where it will not be readily subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.

The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let supply cords touch hot surfaces.

Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

CAUTION: Halogen cycle lamp(s) are used in
this equipment. To avoid shattering: Do not
operate lamp in excess of rated voltage, protect
lamp against abrasion and scratches and against
liquids when lamp is operating, dispose of lamp
with care.

Halogen cycle lamps operate at high temperatures.
Do not store or place flammable m aterials near lamp.

CAUTION: “To avoid electrical overload, total
connected lamp load (factory and field installed)
should not exceed output rating”.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1) Begin the installation process by securing the unit

less battery to the mounting surface. Three
slotted vertical keyway knockouts in the housing
are to be used to attach the housing to
independent anchor supports. Use three ¼”
toggle bolts (supplied by others) minimum to
secure the unit to drywall. If mounting t o holl ow
concrete masonry, a minimum of two ¼” toggle
bolts must be used. When using wall recessed
wiring, the slotted, circular keyway s can be used
to secure the housing to a standard junction box
for wiring purposes only. Run the wires through
center hole of housing in preparation for unit
wiring. For surface conduit wiring , there are a
total of six knockouts which can be used for
service entrance and exit.

2) If desired, wall mounting can also be

accomplished with use of the optional mounting
shelf (See Optional Mounting Shelf and Figure

2).

1. Connect remote lamps, if applicable, to orange

and yellow flying leads conn ected to

RL+ and

RL- respectively. Ensure total unit load
(including internal lamps) does not exceed unit
rating.

2. Adjust head(s) to illuminate desired area(s) .

3. Close cover and screw shut. Ensure electrical

wires and membrane switch cable remain insid e
unit and that the cover d oes not pi nch wir es whe n
closed. Hand tighten two thumb nuts to finalize
cover closure.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. Units ship without batteries installed. For lead

units, battery wiring harnesses are already
connected to PCB assembly and co nnection to the
batteries is required. In the case of Nic ad units,
connection of battery harness to the PCB is
required.

2. Install and wire batteries as appropriate. (See

Page 5-8 for battery configurations)

3. Tighten straps to secure batteries inside unit.

OPTIONAL MOUNTING SHELF

1. If the unit is to be mounted to poles, columns or

I-Beams, use the optional mounting shelf kit and
strapping kit (ordered separately).

2. Use four ¼” toggle bolts (supplied by others)

minimum to secure the unit to drywall and hol low
concrete masonry.

HOOKUP INSTRUCTIONS

Standard Units:

Connect A.C. service to unit charger leads:
Blue = 277 VAC
Black = 120 VAC
White = Common
Green = Ground

3. Once the mounting shelf is installed, the unit is

ready for installation.

4. Place unit on shelf less batteries and secu re with

three (3) securing screws (supplied with
mounting shelf) to shelf threaded inserts.

Self Diagnostic System Operation – Emergency Light or EXIT Sign Products

Normal Power Up Sequence

At power up the red and green LED indicators will alternately flash for one to two seconds. Next the product will execute
a “Power Up Quick Test” causing the green LED indicator to flash rapidly. If any faults are detected during the “Power Up
Quick Test” these will be evident by a flashing red LED indicator. If the audible diagnostic option has been ordered, the
flashing red LED will be accompanied by a simultaneous beeping tone. (Note: A continuous rapid alternating Red/Green

flash with rapid beeping tone indicates 277V applied to 120V input lead. TURN OFF POWER IMMEDIATELY!)

Emergency Operation
Emergency operation occurs when AC power fails. The product remains in emergency operation until AC power is
restored or battery capacity is depleted. During emergency operation both red and green LED indicators are disabled.

User Interface
Green LED indicator

• Slow Flash/Continuous ON = AC power present; normal operating condition

• Rapid Flash = product performing an automatic or manually initiated diagnostic test

Red LED indicator

• Single Flash = battery fault

• Two Flashes = lamp failure (light bar failure – EXIT signs)

• Three Flashes = charger fault

• Four Flashes = transfer fault

(If more than one fault condition is present simultaneously, the red LED will flash the indication pattern for each
fault independently then repeat the cycle.)

Pushbutton Test Switch

• Long Press (longer than 0.5sec) transfers product to emergency operation during time the button is

pressed.

• Short Press initiates self diagnostic activities as follows:

 One Press cancels diagnostic test presently running.
 Two Presses starts a one minute diagnostic test.
 Three Presses starts a 90 minute diagnostic test.
 Four Presses conducts a lamp load calibration (emergency light products only).
 Seven Presses initiates a system reset.

(Note: the microprocessor will allow up to seven, one minute diagnostic tests within the first 24 hours of
operation. Allow 24 hours of charging before performing any long duration testing.)

Buzzer (optional)– Sounds in unison with the flashing red LED if a fault condition is present. Buzzer may be
silenced for up to 196 hours by a short press of either the test switch or the optional IR remote control device
“silence” button. Correcting fault condition will cancel fault notification. Lamp failure indication requires a
manually activated diagnostic test after lamp replacement to cancel notification.

IR Remote Control (optional)- is a hand held device that allows remote activation of diagnostic testing and
silencing of the optional buzzer during fault conditions.
