OP-PANEL INDICATORS/OPERATION: 
 Green Status: Solid indicates system normal and AC power is on. 
NOTE: To start the Manual test, simply press the Green Indicator (button) as indicated below. To Reset/Cancel a test press the Green Indicator 
(button) once during any test. When Unit is in test mode the Green Indicator LED is flashing. 
 1 Press: perform a 5 sec brief lamp test, all Lamps operating from battery only. 
 2 Presses:  perform a 1-min diagnostic test, all Lamps operating from battery 
only. 
 3 Presses:  perform a 90-min diagnostic test, all Lamps operating from battery 
only. 
 
6-Sec Continuous 
 CONTINUOUS MONITORING: The system monitors the following continuously: 
1) Battery, 2) Lamps, 3) Charger, 4) Transfer function. 
 The battery requires at least 72 hours of charge time to perform any extended diagnostic test. If the battery has not charged for 72 hours after 
installation and a diagnostic test is requested, the charger light will come on and stay on for one minute indicating that the battery is not fully charged 
for attempted test. (The 5-sec brief lamp test is always allowed.) 
Press: perform a RESET operation. 
OPTIONAL FACTORY EQUIPPED ITEMS: 
REMOTE: Unit will be supplied with pigtail connector cable required to control and operate a remote of up to rated MAX. wattage. 
TIME DELAY (TD): After a power failure and power is restored, the lamps will remain lit for a 15-min period (provided battery capacity remains).
Note: The Green power indicator LED will flash slowly during the 15-min. period. 
LASER TEST (LX): To operate using a laser pen: use laser pen and point the laser beam over the remote sensor (see below), thereby duplicating the 
manual button (1,2,3) pushes. The laser must impact the remote sensor for at least 0.2 seconds to be recognized. 
FIRE ALARM INTERFACE (FI): Unit will be supplied with a connector at the FAFI location and an interface cable to connect to the building system (per 
wiring diagram). 
FLASHING EM (F): Unit will flash the EXIT sign when operation from the battery only. (Flash rate is 1 flash/sec with a 70”-on duty cycle. 
BUZZER EM (B): Unit will buzz for approx. ½ -sec during power-up sequence or after a reset operation. Buzzer does not activate during either manual or 
automatic testing. Buzzer will only activate when operating from the battery and only due to AC power loss. 
LESS SELF-TEST (LS): Monthly automatic self-tests will not be performed. (Lamps will not energize on an automatic monthly schedule.)

BATTERY DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR FLASHING AFTER POWER-UP: 
1) Most likely the Battery is not connected. Verify that the Battery is connected to the diagnostic charger 
board. 
2) If the Battery is connected, wait for 72 hours to charge the Battery. After 72 hours, if the Battery 
indicator LED is flashing, the Battery is faulty and needs to be replaced. 
3) After Battery replacement, the Battery indicator LED will stop flashing within approximately 10 to 20sec. 
LAMP DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR FLASHING AFTER POWER-UP: 
1) Verify that the lamps and EXIT sign are connected to the diagnostic charger board. Check the remote 
lamp if unit is equipped with remote option. 
2) Push the green test switch once to test. All emergency lamps should turn on briefly, if not, replace the 
faulty lamp(s). 
NOTE: If unit is equipped with remote option, and the remote pigtail (4-pin connector with 2 wires) is
connected to the diagnostic charger board but is not connected to a remote load, the Lamp Indicator  
LED will flash. Either connect a load to the remote pigtail or disconnect it from the diagnostic charger  
board. 
CHARGER DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR FLASHING AFTER POWER-UP:
1) Indicates a faulty diagnostic charger board that must be replaced. 
ALL 3 DIAGNOSTIC INDICATORS FLASHING AFTER POWER-UP: 
1) Verify that the lamps and the Battery are connected to the diagnostic charger board.
