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:
Red Status LED Code 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 Emergency Lamp Fault
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.
rate.
Manual Tests

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.

Lamp Sensing Adjustment Procedure
Procedure 1 - LZ15I, LZB15IModels Only
LZ15I and LZB15I Spectron models are shipped from the
factory with a load sensing jumper provided as shown in
position "A" of the illustration below. In this position, the
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.
Procedure 2 - All Other Remote Capacity
Models
Remote capacity models provide sufcient battery power to
operate the unit's two integral lighting heads plus one or more
remote lighting xtures. In order for the electronics module to
detect a lamp failure in any of the connected xtures, the lamp
sensing circuit must be adjusted in the following manner:
NOTE: Models without remote fixture capacity are supplied
with the lamp sensing circuit factory set and do not require this
procedure.
1. Depending on the total amount of connected load, one of
four different "RANGE" switch settings will need to be selected
(See Fig. 1). Calculate the total connected wattage load and
refer to the RANGE Swich Selector Chart below to determine
the appropriate setting.
IMPORTANT: In calculating total connected wattage load, be
sure to include the unit's two integral lighting heads.

Operating Instructions (Cont.)
7. Allow the 1 minute self-test to end (or press the test switch
again to cancel self-test cycle).
8. Press the test switch again. Verify that the "Lamp Fail" LED
and the "Service Alert" LED are not illuminated.
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 LZ models utilizing Pure-Lead or Lead-Calcium
batteries. This charger is designed to adjust charging
voltage with changes in ambient temperature to maximize the
life and performance of the unit's batteries. LZ Series models
utilizing Nickel-Cadmium batteries require no temperature
compensation as they utilize a constant current type charger
design to maintain the unit's batteries. The charger will
bring the 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.
2. Using a pen or a small screwdriver, select the proper load
range by pressing the appropriate rocker switch to the left
as shown in the Fig. 1 example above.
CAUTION: Only one rocker must be selected.
3. With a small screwdriver, turn the Lamp Sense Adjust
potentiometer fully clockwise.
4. Press the unit test switch once. The emergency lamps will
illuminate and a 1 minute self-test will begin. The green
"Operating Status" LED on the unit's Spectron control panel
will also begin to ash. The "Lamp Fail" LED located on
the charger/distribution board (see Fig.1) should not be
illuminated at this time. If "Lamp Fail" LED is illuminated,
select the next lower load range. Example: If load range "4"
was selected, select load range "3".
5. Slowly turn the "Lamp Sense Adjust" potentiometer
counterclockwise until the "Lamp Fail" LED on the
charger/distribution board illuminates. Then turn the
adjustment pot back clockwise just slightly beyond the
point where the "Lamp Fail" LED turns off to avoid false
failure indications. At this point, the red "Service Alert" LED
on the unit's Spectron control panel will begin a repetitive
cycle of ashing 5 times followed by a pause ("lamp fault"
service alert).
6. While the self-test is still in progress, disconnect one of the
emergency lamp wires from the charger/distribution board.
The "Lamp Fail" LED on the charger/distribution board
should turn on. Reconnect the lamp wire and observe that
the "Lamp Fail" LED goes out. If "Lamp Fail" LED remains
illuminated, turn the "Lamp Sense Adjust" potentiometer
fully clockwise and repeat step 5.
