Installation Instructions

Install fixture/lamp type combination no higher than
the maximum mounting heights as stipulated in the

length.

3. Remove the backplate by pressing on the tabs (see fig. 2) with a screwdr i ver.

4. Locate the AC connector (if applicable) and attach to the AC circuit.
Refer to step 7.

5. Determine the desired position of the test switch (see fig. 5) be fore mounting
the backplate.

6. Choose the proper mounting solution below and continue to step 7.

NOTE: For units with a safety wire, install the safety wire (see figure 1), after installing
the back plate, as a means to support the unit while making connections. Insert one
of the screws, used for fixing the backplate to the mounting surface or junction box,
through the lug on the end of the safety wire before screwing it in place.

a. Junction box mounting

Knock out the proper hole pattern in the back cover to mount to a standard
junction box. Route the AC supply leads or connector through the large

knockout and mount the backplate to the junction box (see fig. 3a).

b. Ceiling mount

For conduit entry, mount the backplate to the wall. Break out the conduit hole
on the housing (see fig. 3b). Assemble the conduit to the backplate.

d. Line cord installation (option)

Mount the backplate to the wall.

7. Make the proper connections. The system can accept input voltages of 120/
277 VAC (see fig. 4).
120 VAC — Connect the black (120 VAC) and white (neutral) leads to the
building utility. Insulate the unused wire.
120 VAC with line cord (optional) — Make the proper connections. Connect
the wire with the smooth side from the line cord to the black (120 VAC) on the
unit and the ridged wire from the line cord to the white (neutral) on the unit.
Insulate the unused wire. Connect the green wire on the transformer (if appli­cable) or insulate the unused green wire from the line cord.
277 VAC — Connect the orange (277 VAC) and white (neutral) leads to the
building utility. Insulate the black wire.

IMPORTANT:

8. Connecting external lamps: pass external DC wires into the unit and connect
to internal lamp wires or directly to the PCBA depending on the model.

9. When ready to energize AC circuit, connect the battery.

10. Slide the housing over the tabs; conduit side on h ousing over conduit side on
backplate (see fig. 5). Assemble the conduit side first, then align the tabs on
the other side of the housing and of the backplate. Press together until it
snaps.

11. Remove the clear lens by prying with a screwdriver, where indicated (see fig.

2).

12. Rotate heads to desired position and replace clear lens.

13. Energize AC. The AC pilot indicator, located under the cover, will illuminate
(see fig. 5).

Route entry wires to avoid contact with the transformer,
battery terminals and charger PCBA. Refer to figure 4.

Unit testing

Manual testing

Press test switch (see fig. 5). The emergency lamps will illuminate. When switch is
released, lamps will go off. Allow unit to charge for 24 hours before initial testing.

Automatic testing and diagnostics

The automatic testing and diagnostic function includes a micro-controller which

electrical components: battery, battery charger, lamps.

Self-test

The self-test is performed every month for 1 minute, every 6 months for

30 minutes, and annually for 90 minutes.

Diagnostic function

–For diagnostic function, refer to “User Manual for AD”
–For Nexus models, refer to “Nexus a ddendum”
