inductive loads connected as spikes generated
switching inductive loads may damage
electronic components within your light fitting..

> Suitable for indoor use only.
> This product is suitable for installation on

flammable surfaces ( indicated by the "F" in a
triangle )

> Before making fixing hole(s), check that there

are no obstructions hidden beneath the
mounting surface such as pipes or cables.

> The chosen location of your new fitting should

allow for the product to be securely mounted
( e.g. to a joist ) and safely connected to the
mains supply ( lighting circuit ).

> Ensure that the fitting will be accessible after

installation for maintenance.

> If the location of your new fitting requires the

provision of a new electrical supply, the supply
must conform with the requirements of the
Building Regulations.

> Make connections to the electrical supply in

accordance with the following code:

Live - Brown or Red
Neutral - Blue or Black
Earth - Green and Yellow

> This product must be connected to Earth.
> You are advised at every stage of your

installation to double-check any electrical
connections you have made. After you have
completed your installation there are electrical
tests that should be carried out: these tests are
specified in the Wiring Regulations ( BS7671 )
referred to in the Building Regulations. If in
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Installation:

1) Undo the screws at the right hand end of the
fitting and lift off.

2) Slide out the front panel.

3) Remove the plastic plug from one of the cable
entry holes.

4) Using the fitting as a template, mark the position

switch.

14) Slide the front panel back into position and

secure the retaining plate back in position using
the two screws.

Operation checks:

Periodic testing should be carried out monthly by simulating
a failure of supply, causing the fitting to be energised from
it’s battery. Interruption of the supply should be carried out
by the operation of a local keyswitch or other isolation
device. During this period all fittings should be examined
visually to ensure that they are functioning correctly. At the
end of the test period the supply shall be restored and all
indicator lamps or devices checked to ensure that the normal
supply has been restored.
The duration of the simulated failure shall be:-

Each month:

Isolate the power supply and check the light remains
illuminated for at least 45 minutes. Endorse the test
record form supplied.

Every six months:

Isolate the power supply and check that the light is
still illuminated after 1 hour. Endorse the test record
form.

Once each year:

Isolate the power supply and check that the light is
still illuminated after 3 hours. Endorse the test record
form.

Please keep this instruction booklet and test
record in a safe place. A fire officer or other
authorised person may want to see your record
of inspection and testing.
