3. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

4. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it
will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

Installation Instructions

Turn off AC power.

Installation (Figure 1)

1. Remove the proper knockout in the back box for the entry of the AC
wires.

2. Assemble the recessed mount brackets to the back box (see figure

2). Install the bar hangers in the adjustment brackets . Mount the
back box so that it is flush with the ceiling surface.

3. Route AC unswitched circuit of rated voltage into the back box and
leave 6” of wire length.

4. Connect the incoming ground to the short ground wire provided in the
back box.

5. Electrical connection (Figures 3,4)
a. Connect the long ground lead with eyelet from the back box to the

trim plate assembly with the hardware provided.

b. Make the proper connections. Our system can accept input volt-

ages of 120 VAC to 347 VAC. For regular models connect the
purple (hot) and white (common) leads to the building utility (Fig­ure 3). For models with diagnostic feature connect the white
(common), black (120 VAC) or orange (277 VAC) leads to the
building utility (Figure 4).

c. AC/DC Models only:
For DC portion: wire the Red lead (+) to the positive DC input voltage

and the Blue lead (-) to the negative DC input voltage. Note: DC input
voltage range is 6 volts to 24 volts.

6. Compress the retention springs (Figures 5) and insert the trim plate
assembly in the back box. Align to be flush with the back box or with
the ceiling.

assembly until it snaps. Gently try to pull out the panel to ensure that
it is engaged in the trim plate assembly. Remove the protective
sleeve.

3. Energize AC circuit. Legend and green pilot indicator (self-powered
models), will illuminate.

Important:

the Exit panel can only be removed by lowering the trim plate
and pushing on the end clip located on the opposite side of the test
switch with a screwdriver.

Self Powered models

Manual testing (Figure 6)

Press test switch. Legend will flicker then will remain lit. On release,
external green LED will illuminate, and automatic charger will restore
battery to full charge.

Automatic testing and diagnostics (optional)

The models with the automatic testing and diagnostic option include a
micro-controller which tests the unit on a monthly basis and identifies as
well displays failures of the electrical components: battery, charger cir­cuit, LED lamps.

Self-test

The self-test is performed every 30 days for 30 seconds, every 60 days
for 30 minutes, and annually for 90 minutes.

Diagnostic function (Figure 6)
The diagnostic function uses the pilot light LED indicator. Service is

required if the green LED changes color to red indicating that an alarm
condition is detected.
