Maintenance

This emergency lighting unit should be tested and maintained in accordance with National Electrical Code and NFPA 101 Life Safety

Code requirements. It is recommended that emergency light xtures be tested for 30 seconds once a month and for 90 minutes once

a year.

Taking A Unit Out of Service

If a unit is to be deliberately taken out of service for an extended period, the battery lead connector should be disconnected from the

charger circuit board and insulated so that the battery will go into storage in a fully charged condition.

Replacing the Battery:

1. De-energize the AC power.

2. Remove the front housing cover.

3. Disengage the battery and heater (if provided) harness from the charger PCB harness.

4. Disconnect the battery strap and remove battery pack.

5. Replace with new battery (see unit model label or battery label for correct p/n)
and repeat steps above in reverse.

Replacing LED Lamps

The LED lamp heads are eld replaceable. Please see Dual-Lite.com for further assistance.

Troubleshooting
Emergency circuit does not work

• Batteries are shipped uncharged, please charge for 24 hours before testing.

• Make sure the switch pcb and the button/light pipe is correctly seated and aligned.

• Check wiring connections.

INSTALLATION

This Industrial Unit is designed to be mounted on a wall, ceiling or pole (optional). Provide standard units with a single unswitched
power supply from a 120 - 277VAC branch circuit used for normal lighting in the areas to be protected. For Spectron
self-testing/self diagnostic units, provide unit with a 120/277VAC branch circuit.

The DYN Industrial unit is equipped with intelligent wiring. Connect the black wire from unit to the building hot wire (120 or
277VAC) and the white wire to the building com wire. (Exceptions: All Non-Spectron models should be connected to 120, 240
or 277VAC supplies only.)

WARNING- This product contains chemicals known to the State of Califorina to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other
reproductive harm. Thoroughly wash hands after installing, cleaning, or otherwire touching this product.

Initiating Action Test Cycle

Press test switch once 1 minute

Press test switch twice 90 minutes

Manual Tests

Using the unit test switch, users can initiate different

duration test cycles based on the following table:

Pressing the test switch any time after a 90 minute test
cycle has begun cancels the remainder of the 90 minute
test and returns the unit to normal operation.

Testing Period Duration of Test

Once a month 1 minute

Once every Alternating:

6 months 30 minutes or 60 minutes

Automatic Tests

The unit will automatically initiate a self-test/self-diagnostic

cycle based on the following table:

93052054

LED Status Indicator:

A green/red LED is provided on the control pane
of all models equipped with the Spectron option.

Green Operating Status LED:

The green Operating Status LED serves as both an AC power
and self-test indicator. During normal operation, the green
Operating Status LED will be illuminated, indicating the
presence of AC power. During all automatic or manual self-test
cycles, the green Operating Status LED will blink “twice” per
second for the 30 / 60 / 90 minute test.

Red Service Alert LED:

Under normal operating conditions, the red Service Alert
LED indicator will remain off. If the Spectron controller
detects a malfunction, the red Service Alert LED will blink
in the pattern listed on the label around the test button.

Before installation, ensure that units comply with hazardous area classication. Failure to do so may result in bodily

injury and/or property damage. To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, area must be free of hazarous vapors

before opening enclosure or servicing xtures. To reduce the possibility of static sparking, do not attach metallic parts

to the outside of unit (i.e., metallic screws, tags decals etc.)

DO NOT ATTEMPT INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEFOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES.

CAUTION: SERVICE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.

DE-ENERGIZE BEFORE OPENING.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

Wall, Ceiling or Pole Mounting

Pole Mounting

1. Loosen the three captive screws on the clear cover.

2. Remove cover. (all models without clear cover skip step 1 & 2)
3 Rotate lamp heads to desired position.

4. Loosen set screws 2 per head and adjust axially on stem.

5. Lock set screws once desired position is set (hex wrench provided).

6. Reverse steps 2 &1 (if required).

***Once remote capacity base models DYN12 or DYN12I have been installed press and
hold the test button for more than 5 seconds to initiate the “LOAD LEARN” process.***

“AC ON” LED is illuminated when AC power is present.
NOTE: All models are supplied with an AC Lockout circuit, which prevents the emergency lights from illuminating when the
battery is connected and no AC power is present.

NOTE: All models are supplied with Low Voltage Disconnect circuit, which prevents damage to the battery from deep discharge
during prolonged emergency operation.

NOTE: Batteries are often shipped in a discharged state – this is normal. The battery will require charging. Allow 24 hours of

charging before testing the unit.

Models without SPECTRON® Self-Diagnostic

Models without Spectron® self diagnostic electronics system provide:

• Visual indication of AC power status

Visual indication of any unit malfunctions include –

• Battery Disconnected

• Charger Fault

Models with SPECTRON® Self-Testing/Self-Diagnostic Circuitry

Models equipped with the Spectron® self-testing/self-diagnostic electronics system provide:

• Visual indication of AC power status

• Visual indication on self-diagnostic status and results

Visual indication of any unit malfunctions include –

• Battery Disconnected

• Battery Fault

• Charger Fault

• LED Driver Fault

• Lamp Fault

• Load Learn Failure

Spectron equipped units also include:
Browout protection: Unit will automatically transfer to emergency operation upon detection of low AC power
(approximately 80% of nominal line.)
Time Delay Retransfer: upon return of normal AC power, unit will remain in emergency mode for an additional
15 minutes to allow AC power to stabilize.

OPERATION

1. The DYN mounting plate can be mounted directly to a wall, ceiling or
pole (using appropriate hardware).

2. Once mounting plate is secured, you can hang the DYN Industrial Unit
and add security screws (qty 4).

3. If the DYN unit is mounted to the ceiling the 4 security screws are to be

added to keep the unit secure to the mounting plate.

4. Feed the AC power leads through the hub assembly (provided).

Hubs are provided with ground lug for entrance of AC power supply.
Following nal conductor routing, use a thread sealant in the conduit-to
hub joint to maintain maximum environmental protection. Note: hub(s)

must be grounded.

5. Install and connect Listed remote lighting xture(s) (if applicable). Note

connections on the wiring diagram in this document. Note: hub(s) must

be grounded.

6. Only use UL Listed water tight conduit ttings that meet the

requirements of the UL 514B Standard for Conduit Tubing and Cable
Fittings when using (K.O.’s see note 5).

7. Connect wire from the unit to the building leads and secure with

wire nuts.

8. For remote capable DYN models, cut ORANGE wire connector from

orange remote leads and strip ½ inch for both lead ends. Observe
proper polarity when connecting remote leads to remote xtures.
Pos. (+) to red remote xture lead and Neg. (-) to black remote
xture lead.

9. Connect battery pack harness to PCB charger harness.

10. For pole mounting used additional #8‐32 x ¼ long screws (qty 2) and

both toothed mounting brackets as shown. Banding straps are not
provided due to varying pole and column dimensions.
