READ THIS FIRST:
Check the pack and make sure you have all of the
parts listed on the front of this booklet. If not,
contact the outlet where you bought this product.
This light tting must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the Building Regulations
making reference to the current edition of the IEE
Wiring Regulations (BS7671).
As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product it
is your own responsibility to ensure that this tting
is t for the purpose for which you have intended
it. Eterna Lighting cannot accept any liability for
loss, damage or premature failure resulting from
inappropriate use.
This product is designed and constructed according
to the principles of the appropriate British Standard
and is intended for normal service. Use of this tting
in any other environment, for example in higher
than normal ambient temperatures, may result in a
foreshortened working life.
The batteries supplied with this tting are
consumable parts and therefore may be outside of
any warranty oered.
Switch o the mains before commencing installation
and remove the appropriate circuit fuse.
When working at heights, please use a suitable
platform.
Suitable for indoor use only.
This product is suitable for installation on surfaces
with normal ammability e.g. wood, plasterboard,
masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly
ammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).
This product is suitable for mounting in plasterboard
ceilings, suspended ceilings* and similar board
surfaces. *Check specication of ceiling for
suitability.
Before making xing hole(s), check that there are no
obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface
such as pipes or cables.
The chosen location of your new tting should allow
for the product to be securely mounted and safely
connected to the mains supply (lighting circuit).
Do not attach to surfaces which are damp or freshly
painted.
This product is designed for permanent connection
to xed wiring: this should be either a suitable
lighting circuit (protected with a 5 or 6 Amp MCB or
fuse) or a fused spur (with a 3 Amp fuse) via a fused
connection unit.
Make connections to the electrical supply in
accordance with the following code:
Live - Brown or Red, Neutral - Blue or Black
Earth - Green and Yellow
When making connections, ensure that the terminals
are tightened securely and that no strands of wire
protrude. Check that the terminals are tightened
onto the bared conductors and not onto any
insulation. Wrap loose terminal blocks well with
insulating tape.
This product must be connected to Earth.
You are advised at every stage of your installation to
double-check any electrical connections you have
made. After you have completed your installation
there are electrical tests that should be carried out:
these tests are specied in the Wiring Regulations
(BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.
OPERATION CHECKS:
Periodic testing should be carried out to ensure
emergency lighting is operating correctly.
Interruption of the supply, causing the tting to be
energised from the battery, should be carried out by
the operation of a local keyswitch or other isolation
device. During this period all ttings should be
examined visually to ensure that they are functioning
correctly. At the end of the test period the supply
shall be restored and all indicator lamps or devices
checked to ensure that the normal supply has been
restored.
DAILY:
Visual inspection of the battery charge LED.
EACH MONTH:
Isolate the power supply for a period sucient to
ensure that each lamp is illuminated. Endorse the
test record form supplied.
ONCE EACH YEAR:
Isolate the power supply and check that the light is
still illuminated after 3 hours. Endorse the test record
form.
Because of the possibility of a failure of the normal
lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of
testing of the emergency lighting system or during
the subsequent recharge period, all full duration
tests shall wherever possible be undertaken
preceding time of low risk to allow for battery
recharge.
NOTE: please keep this instruction booklet and
the test record in a safe place. A re ocer or other
authorised person may want to see your record of
inspection and testing.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The ballast and control gear must be operated only within
the enclosure supplied. The gear must not be operated
outside of the enclosure.
The battery charging circuit and DC ballast are separated
from the mains by at least basic (single layer) insulation.
When energised by a constant mains supply, the battery
will be constantly charged whether or not the lamp is
illuminated. On failure of the constant mains supply,
the tting will switch automatically using transistorised
switching from battery charging to battery discharge
powering the lamp whether or not the lamp was
illuminated before the power failure. Both the mains and
battery supplies incorporate fuse protection: see tting
for location and rating.
CLEANING:
Clean this tting only with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaners.
INSTALLATION:
01. Undo the screws at each end of the diuser
or front plate and lift o.
02. Decide which of the cable entries you need to use
and remove one of the knock-outs if necessary.
03. Cut the hole in your mounting surface using the
dimensions, see Fig 1.
04. Oer the tting up through the hole in the ceiling and
allow to rest with the two large ears on the top side of
your ceiling, see Fig 2.
05. Undo the screws at each end of the gear tray and
allow to drop open.
06. Thread the mains supply cable in through the hole in
the back of the tting.
07. Make the electrical connections according to the
colour code opposite. Take care not to leave any
strands protruding from the terminals and to tighten
all terminals securely. Ensure also that the terminals
clamp onto the bare wire and not onto the insulation.
LEDREM3 ONLY
08. To operate the tting in non-maintained mode,
remove the link from the terminals“L” &“Lsw”.
09. If the lamp is to be switched, remove the link from
between the terminals marked “L”& “Lsw” and
connect cables to and from your switch.
10. Mark the current date on the battery pack.
11. Connect the battery pack to the circuit board.
12. Close the gear tray and secure using the screws
removed earlier, see Fig 3.
13. If you have chosen one of the drop-sign models, you
need to t the sign panel into the diuser or slotted
front plate:
A) Oer the top of the sign panel into the slot in the
diuser from beneath and press down on the top of
the diuser until it rests on the shoulders at the top
of the panel.
B) Fit the small split-pins into the holes at each end
of the top edge of the sign panel and bend the ends
over to stop them from coming out again, see Fig 3.
14. Replace the diuser or front plate and tighten
securely making sure that the tting is properly
located around the hole in your ceiling.
