Programming Mode – Changing the Time Delay function
The ELCD has 5 pre-programmed time intervals which allows the user to extend the relay’s “on time” when returning from an Emergency condition.
The factory default time interval is set to 2 seconds and can be eld modied to either No Delay, 1, 5, or 15 Minutes.
To change the time interval, press and hold the TEST button for at least 15 seconds to enter the programming mode. Once the programming mode is
entered, the ALARM LED will illuminate solid red until the TEST button is released. Once the TEST button is released, a blinking pattern between the
EMERGENCY LED and the ALARM LED will start. Blinking will alternate between the ALARM and EMERGENCY LED’s followed by a pause and then
repeated continuously. The quantity of blinks on the green EMERGENCY LED indicates which time interval is currently selected. To advance the time
interval to a different pre-programmed setting, simply press the TEST button again. The Programming mode is a continuous loop so that if the button
is pressed too many times, it will go back to the starting location. Once the desired time interval has been selected, press and hold the TEST button
for at least 5 seconds until the ALARM LED is OFF to exit the programming mode.
Programming Mode Sequence 1) One Blink = No Delay
Programming Mode Sequence 2) Two Blinks = 2 Second Time Interval (Default)
Programming Mode Sequence 3) Three Blinks = 1 Minute Time Interval
Programming Mode Sequence 4) Four Blinks = 5 Minute Time Interval
Programming Mode Sequence 5) Five Blinks = 15 Minute Time Interval

General Description:
The ELCD Product is listed to the emergency lighting standard UL-924 and is intended to operate so that normal lighting xtures can also serve as
emergency lighting xtures. Use of the ELCD allows full control of any light xture(s) during normal operating mode and during the EMERGENCY mode, it
will automatically connect the attached light xtures to the EMERGENCY power source. This device is particularly suited for use with an Emergency
Lighting Central Inverter which can supply a continuous source of power to the connected light xtures during a power outage.
This device DOES NOT transfer power between two different power sources. The internal power relay opens or
closes between the EMERGENCY input to the EMERGENCY output. UTILITY power is a sense line (NOT CURRENT
CARRYING) and is used to control the state of the internal power relay. Load current therefore is always derived from
the EMERGENCY power.
Use in conjunction with lighting control systems such as photo-cells, time clocks, occupancy sensors, etc. the ELCD will signicantly reduce power
consumption to meet energy savings initiatives such as California's CEC Title 24.
Installation:
All models should be installed in accordance with state, local and national electrical codes and requirements.
Intended for xture mount or installation in standard junction boxes covered with faceplate.
This unit has more than one power supply connection point. To reduce the risk of electrical shock disconnect both the branch
circuit breakers or fuses and emergency power supplies before servicing.
Figure 1 – Basic ELCD Model Illustrates how to connect the Emergency Power Input, Emergency Power Output, Utility Power and Switched Power. This
conguration allows normal xtures and emergency xtures to use the same switched source so that they form a lighting zone.
Figure 2 – ELCD-FD Model Illustrates how to connect a 0-10V dimming circuit with similar controls as Figure 1.
The 0-10V (Violet and Gray) signal is connected to the dimmer during normal operation and during emergency mode, the 0-10V signal (Violet) is opened
so that the xtures go to full brightness.
Fire Alarm - Red wires (not shown) accept 12-24 VAC/VDC.
Upon receiving a voltage from the re alarm system, the ELCD-F and ELCD-FD models will force an emergency condition and turn on the Emergency Light
xtures and bring them to full brightness.
Testing/Troubleshooting:
Use the LED indicators on the front face to ensure proper connectivity. EMERGENCY LED only illuminates when EMERGENCY Input Power (Blue and Gray)
are connected. UTILITY LED only illuminates when UTILITY power is present (Black and White). Both power sources must be present for proper operation.
If either LED is not illuminated, please check for proper connections.
With both EMERGENCY and UTILITY power connected and both LED’s illuminated, press the TEST button on the front face or energize the Switched Input
to energize the emergency loads.
When using the ELCD-D or ELCD-FD models, ensure that the emergency xtures go to full brightness when the TEST button is pressed and also ensure the
dimmer has full control of normal and emergency xtures during normal mode.
The ALARM LED should NEVER be illuminated during normal operation.
In the event the ALARM LED is illuminated, the ELCD should be replaced immediately.
