Hubbel DUAL LITE Spectron User manual
Manual Tests
Using the unit test switch, users can initiate different
duration test cycles based on the following table:
Initiating Action Test Cycle
Press test switch once 1 minute
Press test switch twice 5 minute
Press test switch 3 times 30 minute
Press test switch 4 times 60 minute
NOTE: Pressing test switch at any time after a test cycle has
begun cancels remainder of test and returns unit to normal
operation.
Remote Capacity Model Jumper Setting
(LT_ _ _ 3 Tandem models only)
Liteforms Collection Remote Capacity models provide
sufcient battery capacity to operate one additional 5
watt remote lighting xture. Remote capacity models
with the Spectron option are shipped from the factory
with a load sensing jumper provided as shown in position
"A" of the illustration below. In this position, Spectron's
diagnostic circuitry can sense a failure in any of the unit's
three connected lamps (2 integral and 1 remote).
IMPORTANT
If the third (remote) lighting head is not to be connected
(for the purpose of extended run time or other reasons),
the load sensing jumper must be reinstalled as shown
in Position "B" below to prevent a false lamp failure
indication.
Operating Instructions
LED Indicators
Two Status LED indicators, one red and one green are
provided on the control panel of all models equipped
with the Spectron option.
Red Service Alert LED
Under normal operating
conditions, the Service
Alert LED indicator will
remain off. In the event the
Spectron Controller detects a malfunction, the Service
Alert LED will blink at a 1 Hz. rate based on the following
table:
Service Alert Codes
Description
One blink ON/pause Battery not connected
Two blinks ON/pause Battery fault
Three blinks ON/pause Charger fault
Four blinks ON/pause Transfer circuit fault
Five blinks ON/pause
Green Operating Status LED
The green Operating Status
LED serves as both an AC
power and a self-test
indicator. During normal
operation, the Operating
Status LED will be illuminated indicating the presence
of AC power. During all automatic or manual self-test
cycles, the Operating Status LED will blink at a 1 Hz.

Operating Instructions (Cont.)
Operation
SPECTRON electronics operation is fully automatic.
Accidental discharge of the unit battery prior to
energization is prevented by an AC lockout circuit.
The unit's green Operating Status LED, located on
the Spectron display panel, illuminates to indicate
the presence of AC power. The unit's red Service
Alert LED will blink after application of AC power if the
battery connection is not completed. During normal
operation, the unit's charging circuit maintains the
battery at full capacity and the Spectron Controller
constantly monitors charger performance. Should
the terminal voltage vary from design parameter
values, the unit's red Service Alert LED will blink ,
indicating a malfunction of the battery or charger.
Upon interruption of normal AC power, or brownout
condition, the Spectron Controller automatically
switches the emergency lighting load to the battery.
Emergency power will be provided for a minimum of
90 minutes. During emergency operation, the battery
is protected from deep discharge by a low voltage
battery disconnect circuit. Upon return of normal AC
power, a 15 minute retransfer delay holds the unit in
emergency operation mode allowing utility voltage to
stabilize prior to reconnection. The charger will then
begin a recharge cycle. A temperature compensated
oat type charger is provided in LT models. This
charger is designed to adjust charging voltage with
changes in ambient temperature to maximize the life
and performance of the unit's pure-lead type batteries.
All other Liteforms Series exit signs utilize constant
current type chargers which require no temperature
compensation to maintain the unit's Nickel-Cadmium
batteries. All chargers will bring the unit battery to
full capacity within acceptable U.L. time standards.
The Spectron Controller automatically initiates a one
minute discharge/diagnostic test every 28 days ±
3.5 hours and a 30-minute discharge/diagnostic test
every 6 months ± 1 day. These tests exercise the
unit’s battery to optimize its capacity and allows the
SPECTRON Controller to analyze emergency operation
performance. Any malfunction of the unit’s transfer
circuit or emergency lamps will cause the red Service
Alert LED on the unit's display panel to blink. During
normal operation, all red Service Alert LED blinking
indications of unit malfunction remain latched until
corrected and retested. A manual test switch allows a
user programmable 1, 5, 30 or 60-minute diagnostic/
discharge test at any time. During all automatic and
user initiated self-tests, the unit's green Operating
Status LED will blink to indicate a diagnostic cycle in
process.
