centres shown in the diagram & provide a central mains
supply cable.
5. Drill open the central cable entry point on the base plate.
6. Pass the mains supply cable through the cable entry hole in
the fixing base plate, offer the base plate up to the fixing
surface & secure. Ensure the fixing method is capable of
holding the weight of the luminaire. Screws & rawl plugs are
provided.
7. Route the mains supply cable to the terminal block in the
base plate & terminate, ensuring correct polarity is observed. A cable clamp is provided to restrain the cable.

8. Connect the battery pack to the 2-pole connector on the main PCB & write the “installed date” in allocated position.
9. Offer the main fitting body to the base plate, locate the notch at one end & rotate to fully cover the base plate.
10. Secure in position using the small screw.

SELF TEST FUNCTION
This product comes with a built in self-test facility. Once given a permanent mains supply, the luminaire will automatically carry out a monthly
functional check & an annual full duration test, in line with the testing procedures to BS 5266.
Initial Test
•After receiving a permanent mains power supply, the luminaire will now charge for 24 hours before carrying out a 3 hour duration test.
•During this test the LED module will illuminate & the green LED indicator will go out.
Monthly Function Test
•After installation the luminaire will carry out a 30 second function test. This will be selected randomly between day 15 to day 30 after
installation so all self-test products do not go into test mode at the same time.
•During this test the LED module will illuminate & the green LED indicator will go out.
•This test will then be repeated every 30 days.
Annual Duration Test
•After 11 monthly function tests, the luminaire will carry a duration test..
•The test will last 3 hours.
•During this time the LED module will illuminate & the green LED indicator will go out.
FAULT INDICATORS
If during the self testing a fault is detected, these will be indicated as follows by the RED LED indicator:
•1 flash every 3 seconds – Fault with battery. Maybe a battery failure & requires changing, or not connected properly.
•2 flashes every 3 seconds – Fault with LED module.
•3 flashes every 3 seconds – Duration time not being met so batteries will need to be replaced.
NOTES
1. After completion of tests listed above the luminaire will repeat the process of 11 monthly function tests & 1 annual duration test.
2. If there was a power outage before any of the tests, the luminaire will delay the test appropriately to ensure a minimum 24 hours charge
is received.
3. A fault indicator will continue until the fault is fixed.
4. A reset of the mains supply will be required to get the fault to clear after it has been fixed.
MANUAL TESTING
As this is a self-test product this is NOT recommended.
A manual test can still be initiated by isolating the permanent live supply (e.g. via a keyswitch) for as long as required to check function/duration
BUT choosing to do this extra manual testing over and above the self-testing WILL affect lifetime of the batteries & may result in them not
meeting full rated life.
This would void any warranty with NVC.
For this use we would recommend our non-Self Test version of this product.
