OPERATION
SERVICE / MAINTENANCE
This emergency lighting sign should be tested and maintained in
accordance with National Electrical Code and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
requirements. It is recommended that emergency lighting xtures be tested
for 30 seconds once a month and for 90 minutes once a year.
Taking A Unit Out Of Service
If a sign is to be deliberately taken out of service for an extended period,
the battery lead connector should be disconnected from the charger circuit
board so that the battery will go into storage in a fully charged condition.
Replacing The Battery
1. De-energize the AC power
2. Remove stencil face-plate from frame.
3. Disconnect the battery leads from the charger circuit board.
4. Remove the battery from the Exit frame.
5. Replace with a new battery (see model label for part number of the battery).
6. Reassemble stencil face-plate to frame.
Replacing LED Lamps
The LED lamps inside the exit are not replaceable or eld serviceable.
Troubleshooting
Emergency circuit does not work
• Batteries are shipped uncharged and disconnected. Connect the battery leads and charge 24 hours before testing.
• Make sure the charger board and test button/light pipe are properly seated and aligned.
• Check all wiring connections.
“AC On” LED is illuminated when AC power is present.
NOTE: All models are supplied with an AC lock-out circuit, which prevents the emergency lights from illuminating when the battery is connected
and no AC power is present.
NOTE: All models are supplied with a Low Voltage Disconnect circuit which prevents damage to the battery from deep discharge during pro-
longed emergency operation.
NOTE: Batteries are often shipped in a discharged state - this is normal. The battery will require charging. Allow 24 hours of charging before
testing the unit.
Models with Spectron®Self-Testing/Self-Diagnostic Circuitry
Models equipped with the Spectron® self-testing/self-diagnostic electronics system provide:’
• Visual indication of AC power status • Visual indication of self-diagnostic test status and results
Visual indication of any unit malfunction include
• Battery Disconnected • Battery Fault • Charger Fault • LED Driver Fault • Lamp Fault
Spectron® equipped signs also include:
Brown-out protection: sign will automatically transfer to emergency operation upon detection of low AC power (approximately 80% of nominal
line).
Time Delay Re-Transfer: upon return of normal AC power, unit will remain in emergency mode for an additional 15 minutes to allow AC power to
stabilize.
LED Status Indicator
A bicolor LED (Green/Red) is provided on the control panel of all models equipped with the Spectron® option.
Green Operating Status LED
Serves as both an AC power and self-test indicator. During normal operation, the Green Operating Status LED will be illuminated indicating the
presence of AC power. During all automatic or manual self-test cycles, the Green Operating Status LED will blink twice every second.
Red Service Alert LED
Under normal operating conditions, the Red Service Alert LED indicator will remain off. If the Spectron® controller detects a malfunction, the
Red Service Alert LED will blink in the pattern listed in the following table:
RED Status LED Code Description
One Blink ON/pause Battery Dis-connected
Two Blinks ON/pause Battery Fault
Three Blinks ON/pause Charger Fault
Four Blinks ON/pause LED Driver Fault
Five Blinks ON/pause Lamp Fault
Ten Blinks ON/pause Load Learn Failure
Red/Green Alternating Load Learn in Progress
Testing Period Duration of Test
Once a month 1 minute
Once every 6 months Alternating 30 or 60 minutes
Automatic Tests
The exit will automatically initiate a self-test/self-diagnostic cycle
based on the following:
Initiating Action Test Cycle
Press test switch once 1 minute
Press test switch twice 90 minutes
Manual Tests
Using the exit test switch, users can initiate different test cycles
based on the following table:
Pressing the test switch any time after a 90 minute test cycle
has begun cancels the remainder of the 90 minute test & returns
the unit to normal operation.
Note: After clearing a 5 blink lamp fault by initiating a load learn test, a 60 second
manual test must be initiated.

REMOTE CAPACITY MODEL NOTE
EVC-D4 & EVC-D4I Models Only
Remote capacity models provide sufcient battery capacity to operate 2
additional LED remote lighting xtures or additional run-time. The jumper
setting from the factory will be in position “B”. This will provide the sign
with a longer run-time in emergency mode with no added LED remote
lighting xtures. If the jumper is located to position “A”, you can run 2
additional LED remote lighting xtures.
** Once a remote capacity model is properly installed (jumper is in
position “A”), press and hold the test button for more than 5 seconds
to initiate the load learn process calibrating the 2 additional LED remote
xtures.
The EVC sign is designed to be wall, ceiling or end mounted. Provide standard
and Spectron® equipped signs with single un-switched supply from a 120 or
277VAC branch circuit used for normal lighting in the area to be protected.
For Spectron® remote capacity signs, provide with 120, 240, or 277VAC
branch circuit as needed.
EVC signs are equipped with intelligent wiring. Connect the black wire from
the sign to the HOT building wire (120 or 277VAC) and the white wire to the
building neutral wire.
EXCEPTION: The models with -24K should be connected to 220 - 240VAC
supplies only.
Plug 2-pin battery
connector onto
charger PCB
header.
NOTE: If canopy snaps do not engage sign frame loosen
screws(3b) until canopy is at and all canopy snaps are able to
engage in exit frame.
