MANUAL
Quick Start
1. Install the panel using mounting holes.
2. After luminaires are installed (please note that the luminaires are suited for ESC-200P
system), connect cables of loops to central panels.
•Panel has 10, 16 and 24 sections for addressable luminaires. These are divided into
two loops (L1 and L2), half-by-half: 5 + 5, 8 + 8 and 12 + 12.
•In section could be mixed with emergency lights and exit lights.
•Maximum 20 luminaires can be attached on one section, in total 200 luminaires per one
panel.
•Do not connect luminaires with live voltage on panels!
•Make sure that +, - and G markings are connected right way around.
3. Panel has three (3) outputs for 230V emergency lights. Do not under any circumstance
connect addressable LED emergency lights to these outputs. Outputs are only applicable to
be used for 230V emergency lights.
4. Connect the small NiMH battery to panel printed circuit board and 12 V backup batteries to
panels battery cables. Backup batteries of panels have a voltage of 12 V.
5. Connect power to central panel power supply.
6. From control panel, choose ”INVERTER USE” and choose either ”ON + BATT. CHECK” to
operate as central battery system and to have monitoring for both batteries and inverter.
”ON + BATT.CHECK” is default mode of ESC-200P panel.
7. Press the MENU-button and go to ”START NEW INSTALLATION”. You can scroll the menu
with UP and DOWN buttons. New commissioning is started by pressin MENU-button. On
display there is a note “INSTALLATION IN PROGRES” and ”TIME ABOUT 30 MIN”. Panel
writes to its memory found luminaires from each line. Luminaire inventory can be scrolled
with LEFT and RIGHT buttons. After commissioning has been executed panel returns to a
normal state.
Control panel has two lines for luminaires. Maximum capacity of lines are 100
luminaires per loop, 200 luminaires per one panel.
8. When panel has found all luminaires in loops, “EVERYTHING OK” is appeared on display.

parameters are configured. If one leaves the view with RIGHT button before all parameters
are set, new time is not entered into system.
10. LUMINAIRES
Address information is pre-provisioned into luminaire. Two address stickers are provided
with luminaire. One is to be attached in to luminaire and one to electrical design
documentation.

Hermiankatu 6–8, 33720 Tampere | [phone] | [e-mail] |
MANUAL
- This is because the center is constantly checking the status of every appliance and if the
appliance has been removed it can’t communicate with the ESC-200 center.
You can remove appliance from the appliance list as follows:
- From the menu choose “Remove appliance”
- Then choose if the appliance is in Loop 1 or Loop 2
- Find the appliance that needs to be removed by browsing the list with “UP and “DOWN”
buttons
- When you find the right appliance ID that has to be removed push “SET” three times. This
is to make sure that you don’t accidentally remove appliance that you are not supposed to
remove.
21. Print errors
You can connect your PC with the ESC-200 and print out the errors.
22. Start new installation
By choosing “Start new installation” the center finds all the appliances connected to the system.
Center ask before new installation”delete memory” you can choose ”no” or ”yes”. If you choose
”yes” centter will delete luminaire addresses what is in memory.
23. Set day + time
Here you can set the date and time for the system
24. Emergency lights on
This is to start test for the system. This is used to check the communication between panel and
luminaires. Communication should be Ok if emergency luminaires are set ON with this test
Changing the Operating Language

Checking Error Status
If the display is showing an Error Code (Picture 4 and 5), you can set it off (Picture 6 and
7) to make sure it is actually a real Error. If the Error is real it will come back to the display
within few minutes.
You can set off the Error Code by pushing the ”RIGHT”button two (2) times inthe
display shown in pictures 4 and 5 (demonstrated in pictures 6 and7).
If the Error Code returns to the display and it’s a real Errorthen:
- Find out what the Error Code stands for (Picture 5).
- Find out where in the building that Emergency or Exit light is located and go
check the lights status.

Remote controlling the Emergency lights
In case that there are some Emergency lights lit along with the Exitlights:
Make sure that the Remote Control is not on (Picture 8.).
- Remote controlling the Emergency lights is operated with NCcontact. If there is no
remote controlling the lights, there is a loop in the terminals as shown in Picture 8.
- If there is a blackout or the remote control is on, the buttons in Centers display
stops working. This is for as long as the blackout or remote control is on.

in Loop 1, input 2 controls Emergency lights in Loop 2, inputs 3 and 4 controls all the
emergency lights connected to the ESC-200 Center.

Setting the luminaire location
Connect the panel to your PC.
Open EXIL2 software and choose the right port and language.
Press the read button. After the software has read all the addresses you can write or
change the locations. Maximum letter is 16 in one location.
Write button write the locations to the panel.
With import button you can bring file which include the addresses. The file must be written
in the following way: every lane has Loop information, address information, location
information and it must be separate with comma. The file must be text file. For example:
Loop1,17515,Hall 1
Loop1,17670,Hall 2
Loop1,17701,Corridor
Loop1,17793,Garage
Loop2,17753,Garage2
Loop2,17792,Hall 3

Working Principles of ESC-200P
Data transfer protocol is called DC Power Line Communication
- The information runs in the same cable with the voltage
The Center is constantly checking the lights operatingstatus
- The first error doesn’t show up on the display. The Error Code shows uponly if
the same light/address gives the error ten (10)times.
oThis is how we can reduce failures coming from othernetworks.
oThere are no external signs about the Center checking theoperating
status.
- How long does it take to Error Code to show up on Centers display depends on
how many lights you have in the system and how they areinstalled.
- Checking the LEDs makes the Emergency light blink briefly about once a
day.
The ESC-200P Center makes the battery test every month.
- The Center makes the luminaires to work with batteries during the test. The
voltage (65VDC) still remains in the line.
- The test lasts for 30 minutes and the Emergency lights light up duringthe
test.
- The automatic testing cannot be turnedoff.

Controlling 230V emergency lights with external
control
Three (3) 230V emergency light outputs can be turned on with dry contact by connecting inverter to
external control according to picture 9.

ESC-200P design and cabling principles
In order for the proper functioning of system, please use following design and cabling principles:
•Always use shielded FRHF-cable.
•Keep lines as short as possible (maximum distance around 300 m).
•Maximum number of 100 luminaires per line.
•Place the luminaires to lines with as even spacing as possible.
•If long spans are needed, prepare own line for it and do not include any other luminaires on
the way.
•Cable crimping should be kept to a minimum on luminaires and switch boxes.
•In luminaire connections take care that positive and negative connections are connected
right way around. Also take care to connect earth conductor.
•2 Area Monitoring Units(AMUSs) is comparable to one luminare. So if you have 80
luminaires on line, maximum AMUs is 40 per line. (max100 luminare per line)
•If Area Monitoring Units (AMUs) are being used, ensure that between AMUs and controlled
luminaires there are more than 5 meters of cable to ensure proper communication.
For example AMU
can be used.

•TVK is same as Control Panel ESC-200P
