TROUBLESHOOTING

SERVICE

AC-On Light does not illuminate

• Check AC wiring connections

Emergency LEDs do not work

• Battery is shipped disconnected. Connect leads from battery to charger PCB and charge

before testing.

• Make sure connections to charger board are properly seated.

• Check wiring connections.

Maintenance

Units should be tested and maintained in accordance with National Electrical Code and NFPA 101
Life Safety Code requirements. The NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requires emergency lighting units be
tested for a minimum of 30 seconds once a month and 90 minutes once a year.

The automatic monthly tests of the SPECTRON units satisfy this requirement. The required annual

test can be initiated manually with the test switch, as required by the safety code.

2.Remove 7/8” diameter K.O. from backplate if mounting
to electrical box or remove 1/2”-1/4NPT pipe plug if

using conduit.

CONDUIT MOUNTING:

If unit is not secured to mounting surface using

unit backplate K.O. pattern and supplied gasket,

use sealant to create waterproof seal between the
mounting surface and the unit backplate.

IMPORTANT!

To weatherproof your outdoor installation, be sure to

seal all xture openings - mounting, conduit, etc.

INSTALLATION

1.Open the unit by loosening both screws on top of unit until screws spin
freely. Pry cover from backplate, and remove cover squarely from
backplate. (Remove screws prior to re-installing cover.)

IMPORTANT:
Once unit is connected and cover is snapped onto backplate, gently
seat screws onto O-ring seals to less than 1/2FT-LB (.7N-m).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
O-RING MAY BE DAMAGED AND THE UNIT WILL LEAK IF ABOVE
IS NOT FOLLOWED.

Primary Wiring

Spectron® Self-Testing/Self-Diagnostic Model

OPERATION

All models are provided with the Dual-Lite Spectron self-testing/self-diagnostic electronics

system providing:

■ Visual indication of AC power status

■ Visual indication of all self-diagnostic test cycles

■ Visual indication of unit malfunctions including:

■ Battery fault

■ Charger fault

■ Transfer Fault

■ Lamp fault

Bi-Color LED Status Indicator

Self-testing/self-diagnostic units are provided with a single, bi-color LED which serves as a com­bination AC power, self-test and service alert status indicator. During normal operation, the green
status LED will be constantly illuminated, indicating the presence of AC power. During all automatic
or manual self-test cycles, the green Status LED will blink at a one cycle per second rate indicating

“Test In Progress". If a fault condition is detected during any automatic or manual self-test cycle, upon

completion of test the red status indicator will provide a “service alert code” – see table below.

Service Alert Code Description

One blink ON/pause Battery not connected

Two blinks ON/pause Battery fault

Three blinks ON/pause Charger fault

Four blinks ON/pause Transfer circuit fault

Five blinks ON/pause Lamp failure

Manual Test

Using the unit test switch, users can initiate different duration test cycles based on the following table:

To Initiate Action: Test Cycle

Press switch once 1 minute

Press switch twice 90 minute

Pressing test switch at any time after a test cycle has begun cancels the remainder of test and returns

the unit to normal operation. (NOTE: Batteries are often shipped in a discharged state – this is normal
– battery requires charging. Allow several hours of charge before testing unit.)

LEDs produce heat – use CAUTION around LED assembly.

SPECTRON units also provide:
Brownout protection – unit transfer to emergency mode with low AC input voltage.

Time Delay Re-transfer – unit will remain in emergency mode for additional time after AC power
is restored.

Charger PCB

9.Connect transformer

secondary wiring to charger

PCB as shown.

10.Attach unit cover to

backplate by reversing

Step 1. Ensure all wires
are within enclosure to
avoid pinching with cover.
