Maintenance
This emergency lighting unit should be tested and maintained in accordance with National Electrical Code and NFPA 101 Life Safety
Code requirements. It is recommended that emergency light xtures be tested for 30 seconds once a month and for 90 minutes once
a year.
Taking A Unit Out of Service
If a unit is to be taken out of service for an extended period, the battery harness should be disconnected from the battery
compartment harness so that the battery will go into storage in a fully charged condition.
Replacing the Battery
1. De-engergize the AC power
2. Open Battery Compartment cover
3. Disconnect the battery harness from the battery compartment harness.
4. Disconnect the battery strap and remove battery pack.
5. Replace with a new battery (see unit model label or battery label for correct part number) and reconnect harness.
6. Snap cover closed (tighten security screw if applicable.)
Replacing LED Lamps
The LED lamps inside the unit are not replaceable or eld serviceable. Please see Dual-Lite.com for further assistance.
Troubleshooting
Emergency circuit does not work

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
The EVHC Spectron unit is equipped with intelligent wiring. Connect the black wire from the
unit to the hot building wire (120 or 277VAC) and the white wire to the building com wht wire.
1. Remove appropriate KO’s in backplate to mount
backplate to junction box.
2. Remove center KO from backplate and feed supply
leads through.
3. Secure back plate to junction box.
4. Connect wires from the unit to the building leads and
secure with wire nuts.
5. For remote EVHC models, cut the orange connector
from both remote leads and strip ends ½inch.
Observe proper polarity when connecting remote
leads to remote xtures. Pos. (+) to red remote xture
lead and Neg. (-) to black remote xture lead.
6. Installer should now become familiar with the eyeball
aimability and its limitations.
#6 Thread forming screw provided
This unit is designed to be mounted on a wall. Provide Spectron® self-testing/self-diagnostic units, with a single unswitched supply
from a 120 or 277 VAC branch circuit for normal lighting in the area to be protected.
1. Remove appropriate KO’s in back plate and mount
backplate to wall.
2. Afx conduit to backplate using correct hardware.
(Note: 3 mounting points)
3. Remove appropriate K.O.’s on housing.
4. Connect wires from the unit to the building leads and
Secure with wire nuts.
5. For remote EVHC models, cut the orange connector
from both remote leads and strip ends ½inch.
Observe proper polarity when connecting remote
leads to remote xtures. Pos. (+) to red remote xture
lead and Neg. (-) to black remote xture lead.
6. Installer should now become familiar with the eyeball
aimability and its limitations.
1. Align housing slots over tabs on backplate.
2. Pivot housing and snap closed.
3. Aim the lamps. Do not press on the lenses.
4. Connect battery pack harness to unit battery
compartment harness.

Initiating Action Test Cycle
Press test switch once 1 minute
Press test switch twice 90 minutes
Manual Tests
Using the unit test switch, users can initiate different
duration test cycles based on the following table:
Pressing the test switch any time after a 90 minute test
cycle has begun cancels the remainder of the 90 minute
test and returns the unit to normal operation.
Testing Period Duration of Test
Once a month 1 minute
Once every Alternating:
6 months 90 minutes or 60 minutes
Automatic Tests
The unit will automatically initiate a self-test/self-diagnostic
cycle based on the following table:
LED Status Indicator
A green/red LED is provided on the control panel
of all models equipped with the Spectron option.
Green Operating Status LED:
The green Operating Status LED serves as both an AC
power and self-test indicator. During normal operation,
the green Operating Status LED will be illuminated,
Indicating the presence of AC power. During all automatic
or manual self-test cycles, the green Operating
Status LED will blink twice every second.
Red Service Alert LED:
Under normal operating conditions, the red Service Alert
LED indicator will remain off. If the Spectron controller
detects a malfunction, the red Service Alert LED will blink
in the pattern listed on the label around the test button.
= LAMP FAULT
= LED DRIVER FAULT
= CHARGER FAULT
= BATTERY FAULT
= BATTERY DISCONNECTED
SERVICE ALERT CODES
ALTERNATING = LOAD LEARN IN PROGRESS
= LOAD LEARN FAILURE
***Once remote capacity models have been installed, press and hold the test button for
more than 5 seconds to initiate the “LOAD LEARN” process.***
“AC ON” LED is illuminated when AC power is present.
NOTE: All models are supplied with an AC Lockout circuit, which prevents the emergency lights from illuminating when the bat-
tery is connected and no AC power is present.
NOTE: All models are supplied with Low Voltage Disconnect circuit, which prevents damage to the battery from deep discharge
during prolonged emergency operation.
NOTE: Batteries are often shipped in a discharged state – this is normal. The battery will require charging. Allow 24 hours of
charging before testing the unit.
