HOCHIKI FIRESCAPE LITE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
General information
FIREscape lite® is a highly cost-
effective and environmentally friendly
range of self-contained emergency
lighting luminaires and exit signs,
utilising the latest LED technology and
featuring a uniquely designed ‘step-
down’ transformer, which allows them to
be mains-powered. The integral back-
up battery provides enough power to
illuminate the standard units for over
three hours exceeding both UK and
European standard requirements.
FIREscape lite® units may be fitted at
any location where a permanent live
feed connection to the lighting circuit
can be made. The luminaire range
provides 3rd Party verified, ICEL
compliant levels of illumination for
escape routes, points of emphasis,
open areas and final exits with the high-
power models able to perform at heights
of 9 metres plus. The exit sign range
provides ISO7010 compliant, easy-to-
read signage in a variety of direction
formats.
The internal electronics of each device
provide continual self-diagnosing of the
charging circuit, back-up battery and the
main LED. The integral bi-coloured
status LED instantly indicates if there is
a problem with the performance of any
element, ensuring the device will always
perform to its optimum. With these
features FIREscape lite® provides the
ultimate in emergency lighting safety for
your building and its occupants.
