OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATIONS

Mighty Mac MMEX series, Millenium Metrex METDU, METSR, METSU, METSW series, SimpleSeal CMEXR series exit signs

with EL or CEL Emergency Battery Pack options. See fixture labels for instructions. METSW unit shown, other units similar.

FEATURES

-Sealed, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery. EL option is suitable for use in 10 C (50 F) to 45 C (113 F) environments.

CEL option includes a thermostatically controlled battery warmer and is suitable for use in -45 C (-49 F) to 45 C (113 F)

environments. Self-testing circuitry automatically conditions the battery and performs regularly scheduled tests that conform

to NFPA 101 Life

-Safety Code. Self-diagnostic circuitry monitors battery, charger, power transfer and lamp functions.

INSTALLATION

-Follow Kenall Installation Instruction Sheet for proper mounting,

assembly and wiring of unit.

-Fixture is shipped with battery disconnected.

-After installing electrical chassis and making field wiring connections (AC

power OFF), connect polarized 2-pin battery connector to PC board

assembly.

-Exit legend will illuminate for a few seconds and then extinguish. This

signals that the battery is properly connected and is protected from

discharging until AC power is established.

-Carefully align front stencil assembly over status/test pushbutton and

indicator. Snap front stencil assembly to housing.

START-UP

-Do not apply power to fixture unless supply can be maintained for at least 7 days without interruption.

-If battery is not connected when power is applied, the self-diagnostic feature will detect the missing battery and the status

LED will display a steady red signal. Connect the battery and reset the system by pressing and holding the manual push test

switch for approximately 7 seconds.

-Upon initial power-up, the fixture will supply a trickle charge to the battery for 90 minutes. Then it will switch to full charge

mode for approximately 24 hours. The fixture will then condition the battery with a pair of 90 minute discharge and 24 hour

recharge cycles.

LOAD LEARNING

-During the final discharge/recharge cycle of the battery conditioning function, the self-diagnostic feature will measure the

operating current of the internal and external (if equipped) exit sign(s).

-Any time the total (internal or external) exit sign load is intentionally altered, the system must be reset by pressing and

holding the manual test pushbutton for approximately 7 seconds. Failure to do so will result in a lamp fault indication.

NORMAL OPERATION

Normal operation is indicated by a steady green signal from the status LED. This indicates the fully charged battery is receiving

a maintenance (trickle) charge and normal AC power is present. The normally on exit sign(s) will operate from normal AC power

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2

User Initiated Tests

-A single momentary actuation of the laser-activated photodetector or the

manual test pushbutton will initiate a one-minute test. The normally off

emergency lamps will come on and the status LED will display single green

flashes, signaling a test is in progress.

-Within the first 5 seconds, pressing the manual test pushbutton twice will

change the test duration to 30 minutes, three times for 60 minutes, or four

times for 90 minutes.

-Actuating the photodetector or the manual test pushbutton after the first 5

seconds will cancel any user initiated test.

Automatic Tests

-Automatic tests meet or exceed requirements of NFPA 101 Life Safety

Code, Section 4.6, Article 7.9.3:

Monthly Test 30 minute cycle every 30 days.

-These tests allow the self-diagnostic circuit to monitor battery discharge and power transfer functions and exercise the

battery to optimize its capacity. The status LED will display single green flashes, signaling a test is in progress. Automatic

tests can be delayed 12 hours by actuating the laser-activated photodetector or the manual test pushbutton once during an

automatic test.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

-When the AC voltage drops below a predetermined level either due to a power failure or a brownout condition, the unit will

switch to emergency operation. The status LED will turn off, signaling normal AC power is not present. Unit will remain in

emergency operation for 10 minutes after resumption of normal AC power to allow normal power supply to stabilize.

-Upon resumption of normal operation there will be a 90 minute time delay before a full charge is applied to the battery to

allow the unit to reach normal operating temperature (CEL option). During full charge the status LED will display two green

flashes. The charger will return a depleted battery to full capacity within 24 hours. When the battery has reached full capacity,

maintenance (trickle) charging begins and the status LED will display steady green.

-In the event of a prolonged power outage, the battery is protected from deep

discharge by a low voltage disconnect circuit.

SELF DIAGNOSTICS

Status Indicator

A single dual-color status/fault LED is provided to allow monitoring of the circuit

function.

Battery

The battery condition is constantly monitored during normal operation, tests and

charge cycles. A malfunctioning or end-of-life battery will terminate any charge or

test and return the unit to normal operation. The status indicator will display steady

red.

LED Exit Lamps

The LED lamp condition is constantly monitored during normal operation and test

cycles. A variation of more than 50% of nominal load current will cause the status indicator to display single red

flashes.

Remote LED Exit Lamps (if equipped)

The LED lamp condition is constantly monitored during normal operation and test cycles. A variation of more

than 50% of nominal load current will cause the status indicator to display two red flashes.

Charger

The charger function is constantly monitored during battery charging. A charger malfunction will terminate the

charge and return the unit to normal operation. The status indicator will display three red flashes.

Transfer

The normal-to-emergency and emergency-to-normal power transfer functions are monitored at the beginning and end of each

test cycle. A transfer circuit malfunction will cause the status indicator to display four red flashes.
