2. OVERVIEW
Ektor Generation III platform introduces you to a new era of emergency lighting control. With years in the
making, the third generation platform builds on the Ektor product ranges’ increasing quality, reliability and
performance. In choosing this Ektor product you can be comfortable that you have the best.
This product out of the box can be wired in any of these configurations:
• Self testing unit
• Standalone unit
• Standalone unit controlled with a switch or sensor
• DALI controlled remote testing unit
And can be used with a central battery system (monitored and non-monitored).
An optional wireless module can be added to allow you to connect to standard Wi-Fi networks for remote
testing and reporting.
Our Ektor Generation III platform also brings class leading technology which increases performance and
reliability including:
• Smart battery charging technology which reduces power consumption up to 90% while
increasing the service life of the battery
• Smart battery conditioning to ensure the best performance from the battery
• 450V Electrolytic capacitors which increase the products reliability
• Highly efficient design to reduce fatigue on the product
For buildings requiring longer durations such as 3, 4 and 8 hours the installer can change the jumpers found
on the unit for automatic scaling of the output. Moreover should you require non-maintained or maintained
output, the installer can select this on installation.

5. MOUNTING OPTIONS
SURFACE MOUNT
1. Remove decal and diffuser as shown in the disassembly instructions in section 4 (page 3) of this
instruction manual.
2. The Mercury III Jumbo has an aluminium backing plate for surface mounting installed by default. Install the
four included feet by pressing into the holes provided and inserting retaining pin. When used with other
mounting options, the backing plate can be replaced with a second diffuser and decal for double sided use.
3. Position and mount the Mercury III Jumbo on a flat surface and fasten with the appropriate fixing as shown in
figure 4.
4. Removing the decal and diffuser allows access to the
Mercury III Jumbo
battery and inverter for wiring,
servicing and maintenance purposes.
5. The disassembly of the
Mercury III Jumbo
is also necessary for the installation using a Rod Mount Kit.
Installation instructions for the Rod Mount can be found in section 5 (page 5) of this manual.
6. The Mercury III Jumbo can be mounted as shown in section 5. The Mercury III Jumbo can then be
wired and reassembled by reversing the disassembly process.

7. MAINTAINING YOUR MERCURY III JUMBO
The Ektor Mercury III Jumbo is connected to an unswitched active during normal operating conditions.
When disconnected from the mains supply, the Mercury III Jumbo is powered by a LiFePO4 battery
operated inverter. Due to this, care should be taken when replacing the battery.

8. REPLACING THE BATTERY
1. Use only the LiFePO4 battery recommended on the label found on the inverter/battery charger pack.
No other battery will work in this fitting, other than the type listed.
2. Access the battery by removing the product cover as shown in section 4 (page 3) of this manual.
3. Disconnect the battery from the product and if necessary, cut cable ties to release the battery from its
mounting position.
4. Replace the battery as was previously installed. The battery can be connected in one direction only, do
not force. Secure with cable ties.
5. Replace the diffuser decal and side cover and ensure the green charge light is illuminated. Allow a few
minutes for the battery to charge.
6. Allow a minimum 24 hours charging time before carrying out any discharge tests as per the
requirements in AS/NZS 2293, BCA or other relevant standards.

9. BATTERY LIFE
10. POWER AND BATTERY CHARGE
To maintain the economical life of this product it is required that the battery be discharged and recharged
at least once every 6 months. The battery life can be reduced if the battery is not discharged as per the
requirements of AS/NZS 2293 or an equivalent standard. Increasing the number of duration tests above that
as defined in AS/NZS 2293 or an equivalent standard can have a positive effect on the battery performance as
long as exceed 12 discharge cycles per year is not exceeded
The Ektor Generation III platform uses smart battery charging technology which reduces power consumption
and increases battery life.

11. WIRELESS DAUGHTERBOARD
The Mercury III Jumbo inverter also supports an optional wireless daughterboard. More information and a list
of other accessories can be found in the Wireless design and installation guide. The assembly for
this part onto the inverter is shown below:
Figure 11: Daughterboard assembly diagram
12. SELF TEST/ STANDARD WIRING/ CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The inverter can be used in an automatic self-test mode which reduces the need for a test switch timer.
The self-test ability automatically disables if the unit is wired to DALI or the wireless daughterboard is attached.
Additionally the third generation platform can be wired to a central battery system. With this wiring the system
cannot report the light status (see Self test support document for more information).
Figure 12: Inverter standard wiring diagram
During the first stage of operation the battery charger charges the battery until full. Afterwards, the unit goes
into a stage which charges the battery periodically. This reduces the battery temperature and reduces the
loss of electrolytes which ultimately increases the service life of the battery. As a result of stopping the charging
process, the power consumption is reduced and only consumes 1/11th of the typical power.
The smart battery charger also offsets the charger time by a random interval to un-synchronise all the
emergency lighting in the building. This reduces the average loading on a building’s infrastructure and reduces
any impacts of surges created by turning on large numbers of products simultaneously.

13. DALI WIRING / CENTRAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The Mercury III Jumbo inverter supports DALI out of the box, a hardwiring diagram is shown below,
optionally an installer can order a soft wiring cable set. The inverter also supports central battery systems and
can be monitored through DALI. When used as a central battery system the devices can be tested with DALI.

19. SELF TEST INDICATOR LEDS
The table below shows the operation of the Mercury III Jumbo status indicators:
20. SELF TEST/ COMMISSIONING INTERVAL PROGRAMMING
The self test mode must first be enabled to perform tests by switching the breaker, or test button in
the correct sequence. The test interval is fixed and set to 26 weeks / 182 days. The LEDs indicate
the status of the device and which functions are being performed. For more information refer to the
Configurations: Status LEDs and Device Modes document.
When self test mode is enabled the status LED will flash either 4x (switched active detected)
or 3x (switched active not detected) for 2 minutes.
The self test can also be enabled using the test button sequence below:

When the Ektor emergency product is permanently connected to the mains supply you will need to allow 24
hours to charge its battery. Once the battery is fully charged you will need to conduct a manual discharge test
as per the requirements of AS/NZS 2293 or other relevant standards. At the time of printing, the Australian
standard requires that new fittings operate in emergency mode for at least 2 hours for their first discharge
test. Further tests are to be carried out at intervals of not more than six months. It is important that you keep
records of the initial test and ongoing tests in the building’s emergency service logbook. If the fitting is not to be
permanently connected to the mains supply at the time of installation, you must give it the mandatory 2 hour
test when you connect it permanently to the mains supply.

24. CONSTRUCTION SITES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Continuously switching the power supply to the fitting on and off during or after
the installation process due to other processes being conducted on the building site could cause the fitting to
discharge and charge its battery many times during a short period which can impact negatively on the battery
life. It is not recommended that you connect the Ektor emergency products to the power supply if such
conditions are prevalent. If you choose to expose the Ektor emergency products to such harsh operating
conditions, Evolt may not honour any warranty on the life of the batteries or the dish. This Ektor emergency
product is designed to undergo regular discharge tests but it is recommended that the intervals between
consecutive tests are not less than two weeks. Frequent testing of the exit product will reduce the service life
of the battery. In order to prevent damage to the battery, leave the unswitched active circuit turned off at the
circuit breaker until such time as emergency lighting is required
