INSTALLATION:
1. Remove the front cover. When required, remove battery to access J-box mounting holes.
2. Mount the equipment securely in place on the wall. Two additional ‘Key Hole’ mounting holes are located at
the top of the unit housing in addition to the ‘J-Box’ mounting holes. These ‘2’ additional mounting slot
holes must be used when the unit is mounted to the wall. Additional chain support may be required by local
codes.
3. Extend 24hr AC supply of rated voltage to the equipment, which is furnished with a dual voltage
(120/277V) field selectable input. Connect unit to utility power using an approved connector. For 120V
supply connect the line wire to the Black lead and for 277V supply connect the line wire to the Orange lead.
Connect neutral wire to the White lead. The Ground wire (green lead) needs to be connected in
accordance with the local codes. DO NOT energize the circuit at this time.
CAUTION: insulate the unused Black or Orange wire. Failure to do so may cause an unsafe condition.
4. Install and connect the battery. Refer to the Illustration. Connect the Red (+) lead from the PC board
assembly to the positive (+) terminal on the battery and the Black(-) lead from the PC board assembly to
the negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION: Observe polarity. Failure to connect the battery properly will result in equipment failure and an
unsafe condition. NOTE: The Emergency lights will NOT come ON at this time.
5. Energize the unit with AC supply. The charge indicator will illuminate.
6. Replace the unit cover.
7. Adjust and focus the lighting heads as required.
OPERATION:
1. To test the equipment, depress the TEST switch and the emergency lights will illuminate.
2. Once you release the TEST switch the emergency lights will turn OFF.
3. The automatic charger will return into action, charging the battery and trying to maintain it in a fully charged
state.
NOTE: Allow the battery to charge for a minimum of 24 hrs. after installation or after a power failure before
conducting a 90-minute test (see TESTING section). CAUTION: This equipment is furnished with a
sophisticated solid state transfer switch which will automatically disconnect the emergency lights from the
battery if the battery has been discharged to the end of its useful output.
WARNING: UNUSED WIRES MUST BE CAPPED USING ENCLOSED WIRE NUTS.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always turn OFF AC power to the equipment before servicing. Servicing should be performed only
by a qualified service technician. Only manufacturer SUPPLIED or APPROVED replacement parts must be
used.
1. BATTERY: The battery supplied with this unit requires ZERO maintenance. However it should be tested
periodically (see TESTING section) and replaced when it no longer operates the connected fixtures for the
complete duration of a 30-second or 90-minute test. It has a life expectancy of 5-7 yrs when used in a
normal ambient temperature of 72°F.
2. OTHER: Clean lenses and replace lamps as, and when, required.
NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) requires that all emergency lighting equipment be functionally tested every 30
days for a minimum of 30 seconds and tested annually for full 90-minute duration. Written records of the
testing are to be kept for examination by the authority having jurisdiction.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The emergency lights DO NOT operate and:
a. If the charge indicator light is OFF — Check that the circuit breaker for AC supply is ON.
b. If the charge indicator light is ON:
Check that the battery is properly connected.
If remote lamps are connected to the equipment, then turn OFF the AC supply and disconnect the
remote circuit wires from the equipment. Turn ON the AC supply and depress the test switch. If the
local lamps (mounted on the equipment itself) come ON, then check the remote circuit for short or
overload condition and correct as required. Reconnect the circuit wires and restore AC power.
If the local lamps don't turn ON after disconnecting the remote circuit wires, then replace battery.
2. Emergency lights are dim — implies battery might not be fully charged. Allow battery to recharge for 24
hours and then re-test.
