INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All servicing should be performed by qualified
personnel only.

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

The use of accessory equipment not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

Do not use this equipment for other than intended
use.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let supply cords touch hot surfaces.

Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

CAUTION: Halogen cycle lamp(s) are used in
this equipment. To avoid shattering: Do not
operate lamp in excess of rated voltage, protect
lamp against abrasion and scratches and against
liquids when lamp is operating, dispose of lamp
with care.

Halogen cycle lamps operate at high temperatures.
Do not store or place flammable materials near
lamp.

CAUTION: “To avoid electrical overload, total
connected lamp load (factory and field installed)
should not exceed output rating”.

INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1) Begin the installation process by

determining mounting options.

2) The slotted, circular keyways can be used to

secure the housing to a standard junction
box. The junction box must be secured
sufficiently to handle the weight of the unit.

3) Additionally, two slotted vertical keyway

slots (Figure 1) may be used to attach the
housing to independent anchor supports.
Use three #8 toggle bolts (supplied by
others) for securing to wallboard or hollow
concrete walls. If the wiring is wall
recessed, run wires through center hole of
housing in preparation for unit wiring.

HOOKUP INSTRUCTIONS

Standard Units:

Connect A.C. service to unit charger leads:
Brown = 240 VAC
Violet = 230 VAC
Black = 120 VAC
Light Blue = Common
Green = Ground

1. Connect remote lamps, if applicable.

Connect orange lead to RL+ and yellow lead
to RL-. Ensure total unit load (including
internal lamps) does not exceed unit rating

2. Install battery(ies). Refer to next section and

illustrations.

3. Adjust head(s) to illuminate desired area(s).

4. Close cover. Ensure electrical wires and

membrane switch cable remains inside unit
and do not interfere with cover closure.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. Units may ship without batteries installed

depending on the wattage of the unit. For
lead units, battery wiring harnesses are
already connected to PCB assembly and
connection to the batteries is required. In
the case of Nicad units, connection of
battery harness to the PCB is required.

2. Install and wire batteries as appropriate.

(See Page 6 for battery configurations)

3. Tighten straps to secure batteries inside unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Normal Power-Up Sequence

At power-up, the red and green LED
indicators will alternately flash for one to
two seconds. Next, the unit will go through
a “Power-up Quick Test” with the green
LED flashing quickly. If no power-up faults
are detected, the green LED will then flash
slowly for approximately 36-72 hours to
indicate the unit is in a high rate of charge.

If any faults are detected during ‘Power-up

Quick Test’, these will be indicated by a

flashing red LED indicator (Reference Table

2). The red LED may be accompanied by a
buzzer. In the event of a unit error, this
buzzer may be disabled by a short press of
the test switch and will remain disabled for a
period of 196 hours (8 days). After the fault
has been corrected, the red LED flash and
buzzer will be cleared automatically and the
unit will return to normal operation.

2. Press and hold the ‘TEST’ button. The

lamps should illuminate and the green
indicator lamp indicate steady green while
the lamps are on.

3. Release ‘TEST’ button. Lamps should

extinguish and the green indicator lamp
should be steady green if batteries are in
maintenance charge or blinking indicating a
high rate of charge.

4. Leave A.C. connected for a minimum of 24

hours before performing any abbreviated
testing. Full recharge of batteries may take
up to 72 hours.

5. Once energized, the unit will wait 36 hours

while the batteries are charged and then
perform an automatic lamp load calculation.
The system will then detect and indicate a
load loss of 10% and indicate a lamp failure.
Replace lamps as required. Upon lamp
replacement, run any manual self-test and
the system will return to normal operating
status.

6. If, after installation and calibration, lamp

load is increased or decreased the system
will need to be manually calibrated for the
new total load. To re-calibrate, press the test
switch four times. The unit will illuminate
for 30 seconds and then return to normal
operation status.

7. Lamp re-calibration can also be

accomplished with the optional remote

control by pressing in sequence, ‘Silence,

Silence, Cancel, Silence’. The lamps will

illuminate for a brief time and then return to
normal operation status.

SELF-TEST / SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

1. This unit’s charge / discharge circuit is

microprocessor controlled. The charging
circuit consists of a two stage charging
program which will charge the batteries at a
high rate of charge and once the batteries
approach the correct float voltage, the
charger will switch to a maintenance charge
mode.

2. The microprocessor controls and detects the

following conditions:

a. Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) –

Disconnects battery power from unit
when battery voltage drops below

87.5% of nominal voltage to protect
the batteries from deep discharge.

b. AC Brownout – Disconnects the unit

from line voltage and transfers the
unit to emergency mode when the
line voltage sags to 80% or below.

c. AC Lock OUT – When line voltage

and battery voltage is removed from
the unit, the unit will remain off until
line voltage is returned. Used to
place the unit into hibernation.

d. Temperature Compensation –

Battery voltage temperature
compensation is performed by the
microprocessor on a continual basis
based on unit ambient temperature
conditions.

e. Lamp Load Failure Detect –

Indicated a load failure when more
than 10% of the original load is
determined to be removed.

f. Reverse battery connection polarity.

3. For information regarding failure mode

indications, see Failure Codes Table 2
below.
