IEE wiring regulations.
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

and remove the appropriate circuit fuse.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
This product is suitable for installation on surfaces
with normal amibility e.g wood, plasterboard and
masonry.
Before making xing hole(s), check that there are no
obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface
such as pipes or cables.

allow for the product to be securely mounted (e.g.
to a ceiling joist) and safely connected to the mains
supply (lighting circuit).
Ensure that the tting will be accessible after
installation for maintenance.
If the location of your new tting requires the
provision of a new electrical supply, the supply
must conform with the requirements of the Building
Regulations making reference to the Wiring
Regulations (see above).
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 specied in the Wiring Regulations
(BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.
The batteries supplied with this tting are a

INSTALLATION:
DANGER! Please note that there are two live
supplies, one switched and one permanent; please
ensure you isolate both before you undertake any
work on the emergency tting.
01) Undo the screws at each end of the diuser and
lift o.
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).
07) Apply a silicon sealant to the xings if moisture or
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)
This product is double insulated. Do not connect
any part to Earth.
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.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Power: Non Maintained: 1.5W / Maintained: 4.5W
• Continuous illumination: >3 hours in emergency
operation
• Battery: 3.6V Ni-Cad, 800mAh
• Recharge time: 24 hours

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The control gear must be operated only within the

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.
LAMP REPLACEMENT:
DANGER!
