Safety warning
In Australia and New Zealand, only licensed
electricians are permitted by law to work with
240 volt electrical installations.
Do not attempt to install or connect this product
unless you are a licensed electrician.
Turn off and isolate the electrical supply before
connecting this fitting to the building wires.
Do not touch the terminals of the terminal block
when the light fitting is energised.
The only user-serviceable parts are the lamp head
assembly and battery pack. LED light source is
not user-serviceable.
Do not attempt to service other parts of the
fitting as this will void the warranty.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to ensure
compliance with all relevant building and safety

Nexus user and technical guide describes all you
need to know to successfully install a Nexus project.
Ask for it from your superviser, 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.
Important to note:
• This product is designed for indoor use only.

Installation instructions
1. Remove the top cover from the gear tray by unscrewing a screw on each side.
2. Work out the mains entry then hold the gear tray in position and mark the centre of 2 fixing holes.
3. Drill holes and secure the gear tray in place by using appropriate M4 screws (due to the wide variety

fixed into solid material that is strong enough to support the weight of the fitting which is
approximately 3.5kg.
4. Terminate mains wires to the terminal block. Be careful with multi-strand conductors that all the
strands are twisted together before insertion into the terminal block. Any stray strands that
inadvertently come into contact with their neighbouring terminal will cause undesirable results when
fitting is powered.

Important: 24 hours is required to allow the fitting battery to reach full capacity, ie: prior to a
discharge test. As the installer, it is your responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of
the installed fitting. Refer to AS/NZS 2293.

Testing precautions
Once the fitting is permanently connected to the
mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as
required in AS/NZS 2293.2 must be carried out.
You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to
fully charge prior to conducting this test,

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/NZS 2293.2.
Construction sites
Continuously switching off 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 life of the battery.
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/NZS 2293.2, subjecting the product to
repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded
as an abuse of the fittings.
Removal instructions
1. Before removing the installed fitting, de-
energise and lock off the supply circuit.
2. Remove the cover, disconnect the mains and

the terminal block.
3. Disconnect the battery connection from the
power pack, for RF version remove the antenna
cable from the top cover.
4. Undo the mounting screws and remove the
fitting from wall or ceiling.
5. For Nexus LX or Nexus RF product; refer to data connections section.
6. Connect the battery cable and lamp head cable to the control pack.
7. Install the cover to the gear tray and secure it in place by 2 screws provided.
8. Check operation of the fitting to ensure that the installation was successful. Once powered up, allow
a few minutes to give the battery a small charge, then press the test button located at the Spitfire
lamp head. Hold the test button in for a few seconds and observe the operation of the lamp
switching from mains to the emergency mode. If the lamp on emergency mode works momentarily,
that’s okay. Try again in a few more minutes in case battery is completely discharged, it may take a
little time to charge up enough to operate even momentarily. After this time, press the test button
again and if the lamp does not work at all, check the supply, the connections and follow the
instruction given in the troubleshooting guide at the end of this document.
9. This step is for Nexus LX or Nexus RF fitting only. Once manually checked, it is ready for the
commissioning into the Nexus network. Keep the information details of this fitting including exact

the database during commissioning. Refer to the Nexus user and technical guide for full details. As
the installer, it is your responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of the installed fitting.
Refer to AS/NZS 2293.
Data connections

• Terminate the data cable to the small
terminal block.
• The same colour wire from each data cables
connects to the terminal marked +.
• The other colour wire from each of the data
cables connects to the terminal marked -.
• No mains or mains carrying cables are to be
connected to the data terminals or cables.
Nexus RF fitting
• Fit the antenna connector through the
vacant hole on the cover and connect the
antenna to it.
• Collect the MAC address, by removing the
peel off sticker section and locating it on
your floor plan or spreadsheet.
