Removal instructions
1. Before removing the installed fitting, de-energise and lock off the supply circuit. Note: There may be 2 actives present,
ensure all power is isolated before proceeding.
2. Undo 2 screws and remove the lid as shown in figure 1.
3. Undo 2 screws and slide the gear tray forward to allow adequate room to disconnect the mains cable assembly plug
and the battery plug from the PCA. For Nexus LX unit; disconnect the data plug from the main PCA.
4. Remove the gear tray, disconnect mains cable and Nexus LX cable (where applicable) from the terminal blocks.
5. Undo the mounting screws and remove the base from the wall cavity.
Testing precautions
Once the fitting is permanently connected to the mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as required in
AS/NZS2293.2 must be carried out. You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to fully charge prior to conducting
this test, presently (at the time of writing), the standard requires that fittings operate in emergency mode for a period not
less than 2 hours for their commissioning test and for not less than 90 minutes thereafter (it is required that 6 monthly
discharge tests be carried out). You will need to keep the records for the commissioning test and enter them into the
building emergency services logbook or via other recording methods as allowed by AS/NZ2293.2.
Construction sites
Continuously switching of the mains power supply that is connected to emergency light fittings during the construction
phase of an installation will cause these fittings to discharge and charge their batteries many times over a short period;
this can shorten the life of the battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life. ABB does not recommend
such practices and may not honour the warranty on batteries when they are subjected to such harsh operating
conditions. Emergency light fittings are designed to be discharge tested once every 6 months as per AS/NZS2293.2,
subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded as an abuse of the fittings.
Trouble shooting guide
If you have installed and connected the unit as per the instructions listed earlier and it does not function correctly, use the
following table as a guide to fixing the problem. Look up the type of fault in the left column and check the possible causes
from the right column.
If the unit still does not work after checking these possible causes, contact ABB service in Australia on 1800 222 435,
Monday to Friday, 7.00am to 5.00pm (AEST) and ask for help. Our trained service personnel will usually be able to

As the installer, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant building and safety codes, (ie: AS3000,
AS/NZS2293). Refer to the applicable standards for data and mains cabling installation procedures and requirements.
Important note: This product is designed for indoor use only.
Nexus LX (data cable system)
The Nexus®range of emergency light fitting are designed to be connected together into a special communication network
over a Level 4 (or higher) high speed, single twisted pair data cable. The Nexus user and technical guide describes all
you need to know to successfully install a Nexus project. Ask for it from your supervisor, from your employer or from your
nearest ABB product supplier. The network cabling of the building must be installed as per the procedure detailed in the
Nexus user and technical guide. No mains or mains carrying cables are to be connected to the data terminals or cables.
Nexus RF (wireless system)
The Nexus RF range of light fittings are designed to communicate via a proprietary RF network, however the electrical
installation of the fittings is identical to that of a standard non-monitored fitting.

Installation instructions
1. Remove the unit from the packing box and inspect it for damage or imperfections. If any damage is found, do not
install the unit, but replace it carefully into the packing box and notify the ABB product support hotline in Australia on
1800 222 435.
2. If all looks okay, installation can proceed.
3. Undo 2 screws and remove the lid as shown in figure 1.
4. Undo 2 screws and remove the gear tray from the base as show in figure 2.
Note: Carefully unplug the mains cable assembly from the PCA in order to completely remove the gear tray from the
base.
5. Determine the mounting location and studs position in the wall, check and verify that there is adequate space in the
wall cavity for a box size 182mm height x 365mm width x 85mm depth and there is no obstruction for mains cable
running. Allow 50mm clearance from the ceiling or wall corner for the cover.
6. Mark, double check and cut out a hole size 182mm height x 365mm width in the wall. See figure 3.
7. Orient the base such that the test switches are on the right hand side corner for the wall cut out.
8. Determine the mains cable entry direction then remove the appropriate knockout from 1 side of the base.
9. Route the mains cable through the knock out and mechanically protected it by a grommet, gland or bush as it passes
through cable entry.
10. Insert and push the base flush to the wall. Secure it to a wall stud by using 2 appropriate fixings (not supplied due to
variety types of building construction materials used). For double brick wall; use suitable adhesive or fastener (liquid
nail, epoxy anchor, etc.) to secure the base in place.
11. Strip 9mm insulation length from mains cable, connect
and terminate wires to the terminal block. Be careful with
multi-strand conductors that all the strands are twisted
together before insertion into the terminal. Any stray
strands that inadvertently come into contact with their
neighbouring terminal will cause undesirable results when
the fitting is powered.
12. This step is for monitored fittings only. For a Nexus LX fitting; terminate and connect data cable to the 2 way terminal
block as shown in figure 4. For a Nexus RF fitting; ensure that the antenna is fitted to the gear tray and is tight. For
more details refer to the data connections section.
13. Verify that the battery is connected to the PCA then connect the mains cable assembly to the PCA.
14. Secure the gear tray to the base by 2 screws as shown in figure 2 and lid as shown in figure 1.
15. Check the operation of the fitting to ensure that the installation was successful. When powered up, allow a few
minutes to give the battery a small charge then press the test button to ensure that unit is functional in emergency
mode.
