02) Press the tabs protruding from the gear tray to
open.
03) Make the cable entry and xing holes as required.
Inside the back of the tting, there are markings
to assist you.
04) Using the back of the tting as a template, mark
the position of the xing holes on your mounting
surface.
05) Make xing holes and t plugs as appropriate.
06) Secure the back of the tting to the mounting
surface using suitable xings (not supplied).

weather-proong is required.
08) Fitting a cable gland will also be necessary if
moisture or weather-proong is required.
09) Thread the supply cable through the entry point
and into the tting.
10) Make connection to the mains supply according
to the colour code below. Take care not to leave
any strands protruding from the terminals and
that the terminals clamp onto the bare wire and
not onto the insulation.
N- Neutral (Blue/Black)
L- Permanent Live (Brown/Red)
11) Mark the current date on the battery pack.
12) Connect the battery pack to the circuit board.
13) Close the gear tray and press back onto the clips.
14) Replace the diuser and tighten securely.
15) Restore the power supply. The LED should light to
indicate correct charging.
MAINTAINED VERSION ONLY: if the link has been
left in place, the tting should also light. If you have
connected a switch across the terminals, test the
operation of your switch.
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 sucient 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 ocer or
other authorised person may want to see your
record of inspection and testing.

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.
LAMP REPLACEMENT:
