LUMINAIRE INSTALLATION
1. The luminaire is suitable for wall or ceiling mounting. If
mounting on the ceiling, leave the main body of the luminaire
in its current position. If wall mounting, rotate the main body
through 90 degrees (see diagram).
2. Unscrew the small screw located on one end of the luminaire
body.
3. Using a small flat head screwdriver (in identified position),
gently lever the base plate away from the main luminaire
body.
4. Prepare the fixing surface (ceiling or wall) at the fixing
centres shown in the diagram.
5. Drill through the central cable entry point provided on the
base plate.
6. Pass the mains supply cable through the cable entry hole,
offer the base plate up to the fixing surface & secure in
position. 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.
NOTE! THIS LUMINAIRE MUST BE EARTHED NOTE! THIS LUMINAIRE NEEDS A PERMANENT LIVE SUPPLY
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.
11. Connect the power supply & check the green LED charge indicator illuminates.
12. The batteries should be allowed to charge, uninterrupted for at least 24 hours before carrying out a full discharge test to
check they are charging correctly & the rated emergency duration is being achieved.
13. The operating temperature range of the luminaire is 0⁰C - +40⁰C.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
1. This unit is using Lithium Iron Phosphate cell (LiFeP04) in its battery pack. These batteries require close
monitoring and protection circuitry to operate safely. This pack uses a dedicated protection built into the
module unit. Ensure identical batteries are used in any replacement maintenance.
2. Nominal battery life is designed to be at least 4 years. They must be replaced when they no longer satisfy the 3-hour
rated duration.
3. DO NOT INSULATION TEST.
4. Ensure cleanliness of luminaires is maintained so as not to affect performance.
TESTING FOR EMERGENCY LUMINAIRES
Recommended routine test procedures in line with BS 5266 & BS EN 50172:
Monthly Functional Test
 Simulate a mains supply failure by isolating the circuit (ensuring if it is safe to do so) or by way of a test key switch if
fitted into the circuit. Alternatively, there is a test button on the luminaire.
 Do this for a period of time (usually 30s) to check that the light source illuminates from the battery supply.
 Once complete, ensure the normal supply is restored & that the green LED charge indicator illuminates.
 Log result/comments in the emergency lighting logbook.
Annual Discharge Test
 Simulate a mains supply failure by isolating the circuit (ensuring if it is safe to do so) or by way of a test key switch if
fitted into the circuit.
 This should be for the full 3-hour rated duration.
 Check that the light source illuminates & remains illuminated for the full rated duration period.
 Once complete, ensure the normal supply is restored & that the green LED charge indicator illuminates.
 Log result/comments in the emergency lighting logbook.
