5. Route the wires from the wire conduit(s) through the conduit fitting(s) and
into the housing.
6. Thread the wire conduit tightly into the conduit fitting ensuring a water-
tight seal. If necessary, seal with silicone or equivalent caulking (not
provided) to prevent water from leaking into the cabinet.
7. Connect AC wires from building utility: install the ground wire.

terminals of lamp circuit (Figure 3).
b. RFI (option): Connect output line (black) from RFI filter to the
transformer primary: black (120Vac) or orange (277Vac). Connect
RFI filter module to the utility: white wire to neutral, black wire (120/
277Vac) to line (See figure 4).
Option cold-weather: An electric heater and a thermostat are used to control
the ambient temperature inside the equipment.
Connections for 120Vac line voltage (Figure 5):
a. Install three red clips (provided) one on the yellow wire (heater), and
white and black wires (transformer).
b. Connect white wire (heater) to clip of yellow wire (heater).
c. Connect red wire (heater) to clip of white wire (transformer).

Connections for 277Vac line voltage (Figure 6):
a. Install three red clips (provided) one on the red wire (heater),
and white and orange wires (transformer).
b. Self-connect red wire (heater) on its own clip (electrical cap).
c. Connect white wire (heater) to clip of white wire (transformer).
d. Connect red wire (thermostat) to clip of orange wire
(transformer).
NEXUS (option): refer to page 4 for electrical connections and
commissioning.
8. Install the batteries (if shipped separately) and connect the battery
wires to the charger board. Each battery has its own cable and
must be connected to the charger.
9. Tighten the batteries and cables with the flexible Velcro strap.
10. For vertical pole mount: in addition to the Velcro strap, install the
metal strap and screws provided in the installation kit (Fig 1.) to
hold the battery(ies).
11. Close the cover and tighten the screws.
12. Turn on AC power.
Manual Testing
The equipment comes standard with a one-
button infrared remote control.
Before starting manual testing remove plastic
tab from battery compartment on remote
control.
To initiate a test: orient the remote control
towards the pilot light of the unit and press the
TEST button.
13. Test function (power on, stand-by): press the TEST button, the unit
will start a one-minute test. Pressing the button again will abort the
test in progress.
14. Load disconnect: this option can be used during a power failure to
save battery power during daylight hours. Press the TEST button,
the emergency lights will turn off. By pressing the test button again
the emergency lights will turn back on.
15. On-charger manual test: the unit also has a test button installed on
the charger module located on the bottom of the unit (See figure 7).
This is useful during maintenance, with the unit door open. The
button performs the same functions as the remote control.
Automatic self-test and diagnostic (Option)
16. Self-test: Once power is supplied to the unit it will automatically
initiate a routine self-test calendar as follows:
a. Verifies battery connection, battery failure, charger board failure
and lamps failure.
b. Executes one-minute monthly self-test
c. Executes a 30-minute self-test every 6th month
d. Executes a 90-minute self-test every 12th month
17. Diagnostic: The unit is equipped with a bi-color LED pilot light and
indicates the following status:
a. Green color: AC-on / self-test
b. Red color: Service alarm
A diagnostic label is placed on the unit cover.
Transfer time delay (Option)
This feature works when the AC power is restored: it keeps the
emergency lights "on" for a period of: 5, 10 or 15 minutes (factory set).
If the battery depletes before the end of the time delay, the lamps turn
off and the unit goes in stand-by mode.
The Time Delay feature can be enabled or disabled in the field with the
following procedure (See figure 7):
a. Make sure that the battery and the AC main power are both
disconnected.
b. Disconnect the jumper JP4 to activate the Time Delay
c. Continue with the standard installation
Audible service alarm (Option)
This function acts in case of a Service alarm by generating a beep
every two seconds.
During a service alarm the beep can be silenced by pressing the
remote control test switch.
The audible service alarm can also be permanently disabled in the field
by disconnecting the jumper JP7 (See figure 7).
WARNING: SCREWS MUST BE TORQUED TO AT
LEAST 12INLB TO ENSURE A WATER-
TIGHT SEAL BETWEEN THE COVER AND
HOUSING.

NEXUS (Option)
a. NEXUS wireless (-NEXRF): the equipment has the antenna
installed inside the housing (Figure 8).
Status LED
b. NEXUS wired (-NEX): remove the bushing located on the
side of the unit and install the conduit fitting rated for Class 1
Div2 (provided) into the open hole. Thread the Nexus data
cable conduit tightly into the conduit fitting ensuring a water-
tight seal. If necessary, seal with silicone or equivalent
caulking (not provided) to prevent water leaking into the
cabinet. Route the Nexus data cables into the unit through
the conduit and hub and strip 1in(25mm) of the double
insulation (see detail in figure 9). The two cables are identical
and both contain 2 wires of different colors: color A and color
B. Gather the color A wire from each cable, and connect them
to the same pole on the terminal block. Gather the color B
wire from each cable, and connect them to the other pole on
the terminal block. The result must be 2 wires of the same
color in each pole on the terminal block (see details in figure
9).
Maintenance
None required. If the AC power to the unit is to be disconnected for
two months more: the battery must be disconnected.
Warranty: For the complete warranty information, please refer to
the landing page of our website (http://www.emergi-lite.com/usa/).
