INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

F-2189

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE

INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR

WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND

OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE

HAZARDS INVOLVED. FOLLOW ANY SPECIFIC

INSTRUCTIONS ON LUMINAIRE LABELS.

Preparation

•Read all xture markings and labels to

insure correct installation of the xture.

Additional information may be located on

the xture or in supplemental instructions

sheets, separate from this instruction sheet,

regarding orientation,mounting restrictions

and optional equipment.

• For Peace of Mind Warranty, xture must be

mounted to building with at least 4 fasteners

(4 point mounting). Attachment to the

electrical box only is NOT recommended.

• WARNING: Disconnect power to the circuit

before wiring xture.

• Minimum 12” supply wire pigtails

must extend from electrical junction box

for eld connections within xture enclosure.

APPLICATIONS

MILLENIUM METREX™

METEL SERIES

• Drilling Tip: Drill small pilot holes from

inside, using drill points as guides. Enlarge

holes from outside, using spade bits and

light pressure to reduce “digging in” and

slow drill speed to prevent material

overheating. Remove burrs and plastic

chips from parts prior to assembly.

WALL MOUNTING (Fig.1): Remove SHIELD

and STENCIL ASSEMBLY. RemoveELECTRICA

L CHASSIS by disengaging tabs in upper corners.

Remove REFLECTOR (if provided). Locate

appropriate REAR PANEL drillpoints and drill (4)

5/16” dia. mounting holes and (1) hole of

suitable size for supply wire entry. Place

HOUSING over an installed electrical

junction box (drill points provided for temporary

j-box attachment prior to permanent mounting).

Locate and drill 4 pilot holes in mounting surface

using REAR PANEL as a template. For wet

location installation, attach self-adhesive pad

GASKET to REAR PANEL. Using 1/4-20 fasteners

and anchors appropriate for the mounting

surface (not supplied), attach HOUSING

to structure.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION (cont’d)

Battery Conditioning

• Upon initial power-up, the xture will supply

a trickle charge to the battery for 90 minutes.

Then it will switch to full charge mode for

approximately 24 hours. The xture will

thencondition the battery with a pair of 90

minute discharge and 24 hour

recharge cycles.

Load Learning (Fig. 3)

• During the nal discharge/recharge

cycle of the battery conditioning function,

the self-diagnostic feature will

measure the operating current of the

internal and external (if equipped

emergency lamps and external LED exit

sign (RXR option only).

CAUTION: To avoid electrical overload, total

connected lamp load (factory and eld installed)

should not exceed output rating.

• Any time the total emergency lamp load

(internal or external) or the remote exit sign

load (RXR option only) is intentionallyaltered,

the system must be reset by pressing and

holding themanual 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 t

he fully charged battery is receiving a

maintenance (trickle) charge and normal

A power is present. The normally off emergency

lamps will be off and any normally on remote

exit signs (RXR option only) will operate from

normal AC power.

User Initiated Tests (Fig. 3)

• A single momentary actuation of the laser-

activated photodetector (see g.1) 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 ashes,signaling a test

is in progress.

• Within the rst 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 rst 5

seconds will cancel any user initiated test.

Automatic Tests (Fig. 3)

• Automatic tests meet or exceed requirements

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 normally

off emergency lamps will come on and

the status LED will display single green

ashes,signaling a test is in progress.

• Actuating the TEST PHOTODETECTOR or the

manual TEST PUSHBUTTON after the rst 5

seconds will cancel any automatic test and

delay by 12 hours all subsequent automatic

tests.

Emergency Operation

• When the AC voltage drops below a

predetermined level either due to a power

failure or a brownout condition, the unit

willswitch 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 lighting

systems to return to full brightness.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

F-2189

• 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 ashes. 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.

Load Learning (Fig. 3)

• In the event of a prolonged power outage,

the battery is protected from deep discharge

by a low voltage disconnect circuit.

CAUTION: To avoid electrical overload, total

connected lamp load (factory and eld installed)

should not exceed output rating.

• Any time the total emergency lamp load

(internal or external) or the remote exit sign

load (RXR option only) is intentionallyaltered,

the system must be reset by pressing and

holding themanual test pushbutton for

approximately 7 seconds. Failure to do so will

result in a lamp fault indication.

Status Indicator (Figs. 3, 4)

• A single dual-color status/fault LED is

provided to allow monitoring of the circuit

function. See g. 2.

Self-Diagnostics (Figs. 3, 4)

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.

Emergency Lamps: The emergency lamp

condition is constantly monitored during test

cycles. A variation of more than 10% of

nominal load current will cause the

status indicator to display single red ashes.

Remote Exits (if equipped): The LED

lamp condition is constantly monitored during

normal operation and test cycles. A variation

of more than 25% of nominal load current

will cause the status indicator to

display two red ashes.

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 ashes.

Transfer: The normal-to-emergency

and emergency-tonormal 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 ashes.
