CIRCULAR PEARL EMERGENCY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2. OVERVIEW

Ektor Generation III platform introduces you to a new era of emergency lighting control. With years in the

making, the third generation platform builds on the Ektor product ranges’ increasing quality, reliability and

performance. In choosing this Ektor product you can be comfortable that you have the best.

This product out of the box can be wired in any of these configurations:

• Self testing unit

• Standalone unit

• Standalone unit controlled with a switch or sensor

• DALI controlled remote testing unit

And can be used with a central battery system (monitored and non-monitored)

An optional wireless module can be added to allow you to connect to standard Wi-Fi networks for remote
testing and reporting.

Our Ektor Generation III platform also brings class leading technology which increases performance and
reliability including:

• Smart battery charging technology which reduces power consumption up to 90% while

increasing the service life of the battery

• Smart battery conditioning to ensure the best performance from the battery

• 450V Electrolytic capacitors which increase the products reliability

• Highly efficient design to reduce fatigue on the product

For buildings requiring longer durations such as 3, 4 and 8 hours the installer can change the jumpers found
on the unit for automatic scaling of the output.

3. SAFETY WARNINGS

1. THIS PRODUCT MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

2. BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION TURN OFF AND ISOLATE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

3. DO NOT ENERGISE WITH PRODUCT OPEN OR DISASSEMBLED.

4. SUPPLY VOLTAGES WITHIN PRODUCT. ISOLATE SUPPLY VOLTAGES BEFORE OPENING OR SERVICING.

5. THE ONLY USER SERVICEABLE PART IS THE BATTERY PACK.

6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE OTHER PARTS OF THE FITTING AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

7. AS THE INSTALLER, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU COMPLY TO ALL RELEVANT BUILDING AND SAFETY

CIRCULAR PEARL EMERGENCY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4. INSTALLATION

The Ektor Weatherproof Circular can be installed by mounting the product to the ceiling. To install the
Circular please follow the steps listed below:

1. Remove the product from the box and inspect it for any damage. If you believe the product to be

damaged or otherwise unsound, DO NOT install the product. Please pack it back into its box and return
it to the place of purchase for replacement. If the product is satisfactory, proceed with the installation.

2. When mounted the Circular cover MUST be opened. Open the cover by releasing the clasps and swing

the cover upwards by its hinge as shown below. This will allow for the gear tray to become visible.

3. Locate the screw(s) holding the gear tray in place, unscrew it and swing the gear tray upwards.

4. The cover is to be released for mounting the Circular, battery replacement and servicing.

5. MOUNTING

CEILING MOUNT

Before you start mounting your Circular, the access point for the terminal block wiring must be chosen.
There are three different access points(A, B, C), option C is specificaly for conduit entry.

1. Drill a hole through the Circular base in the desired position. Route the wiring for the terminal block

through the holes and the supplied weatherproof gland.

2. Move the Circular into position on the ceiling and mount by fastening the screws securely to the flat

surface with the use of the supplied washers.

3. Wire the terminal block as shown in section 6 (page 5), tighten cables into the strain relief and

reassemble cover as in steps 2 and 3.

7. SELF-TEST/ STANDARD WIRING/ CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM

In emergency models the inverter can be used in an automatic self-test mode which reduces the need for a test
switch timer.The self-test ability automatically disables if the unit is wired to DALI or the wireless daughterboard
is attached. Additionally the third generation platform can be wired to a central battery system. With this wiring
the system cannot report the light status (see Self test support document for more information).

8. DALI WIRING/ CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM

The Circular inverter supports DALI out of the box, illustrated in the hardwiring diagram
shown below. The inverter also supports central battery systems and can be monitored through DALI. When
used as a central battery system the devices can be tested with DALI. See wiring diagram in section 6 (page 5).

NOTE: Emergency models with microwave sensors do not support central battery as regular and emergency power is not separated.
