1. Introduction
C24 ttings allow to remotely supply power to 24Vdc luminaries. There are two models depending on
the output power:
· C24-100 (100W)
· C24-300 (300W).
These are intelligent domotic devices which give warnings about possible anomalies both in the centrals
themselves and / or in the lines where the emergency lighting is connected.
It is possible to control the centrals from a PC.
24Vdc permanent outputs available.
3 24 Vdc (50w max.) relay outputs controlled by BUS.
In this gued you will nd detailed information about the C24 centrals and its conguration.

Connect the power supply to the 230Vac 50 Hz terminal block between L and N and the earth
terminal. Make the wiring to the luminaires in each one of the available outputs (OUT) and in case
that auxiliary inputs and outputs are needed (see drawings in the following pages). After this, please
connect the batteries and place the cover of the central.

The maximum number of luminaires to be connected in a central can be calculated following the
table on page 2, with a maximum power limint of 3.5A on each of the 4 outputs (although some
countries establish a limit of 12 or 20 units per output). The power of each tting is a feature of the
tting itself, so this must be checked in its technical datasheet.
The distance and cable section to be used in the outputs is calculated following the instructions on
page 28.

· Power supply: The LED on means the central is receiving power from the normal power supply.
· Battery power supply: The LED on means the central is receiving power from the batteries.
· Alarm / Failure: The LED on means the central has detected an alarm or failure.
· Total battery discharge: The LED on means the battery has been discharged totally. The indication
should be re-armed.
· Output 1: The LED on means that output 1 is activated.
· Output 2: The LED on means that output 2 is activated.
· Output 3: The LED on means that output 3 is activated.
· Output 4: The LED on means that output 4 is activated.

7. Functioning of the central
Once the tting has been connected to the power supply, the welcome screen will show up. Choose
the language and choose if you want the conguration wizard to run. Once the wizard is nished, the
main screen will show up.
The main screen will show the status of the central, as well as the status of the 4 outputs.
The upper right part of the screen will inform about the current functioning mode of the central. There
are ve functioning modes available:
· ALERT MODE: The device is being fed by means of the internal power supply, awaiting any possible
failure of the mains.
· EMERG_EXT MODE: The device will enter into EMERG_EXT mode when the SL (Sense Loop)
output is open. All the other outputs will be activated until SL output has been restored. Also, the
OUT AUX contact will be open, allowing other centrals interconnected between them by means of
this output to ge tinto EMERG_EXT mode as well.
· EMERGENCY MODE: The device will get into this mode if it detects a power supply failure from
mains. The battery will then give power supply to all the outputs, which will also be activated.
· REST MODE: The device will enter into this mode when, once in EMERGENCY MODE the batteries
are discharged to a point where it is not possible to provide power supply to the outputs. To avoid
damaging the batteries, the central will cut the power supply provided from them, indicating that
the batteries have reached a total discharge. The central will still be receiving the power from the
batteries, but all the outputs will be o.

· EQUAL MODE: The central unit will enter into this mode when moving from resting mode into alert
mode, and the battery has been fully discharged. In this mode, the central unit will try to equalize
the capacity of both batteries. This way, when the batteries are charging, both of them will start
charging from the same point. This process may take a few minutes.

On the lower right side of the main screen, the actual value of current and voltage of the battery will be
displayed.
On the left part of the screen, the status of each output will be displayed. The status could be:
· OFF: When the output remains deactivated.
· WARN: When the output voltage is lower than the minimum voltage programmed.
· WARN: When the output voltage is lower than the minimum voltage programmed.
· #VALUE: When the output is activated, but there is no failure, the current voltage output value will
be displayed in ampers.
