OPERATION DESCRIPTION
When the unit is connected to the main power
supply (after connecting the battery) the indicator
LAMP FAULT – BATT. FAULT remains OFF
whereas the indicator POWER CHARGE blinks to
indicate that the batteries are charging. When the
batteries are fully charged this indicator will light
permanently. If this indicator does not light then
probably the battery has not been connected. If the
batteries are connected and the indicator does not
light then contact a qualified service technician for
assistance. The charging procedure is monitored
by a microprocessor and is based on a 3 stage
cycle thus ensuring a fast and full charge of the
battery. The charge current is supplied by a high
efficiency switch mode power supply which
ensures perfect charging even during the
fluctuations of the mains power supply.
BATTERY CUTOFF
The unit enters this state during the power supply
failure and when the battery has been fully
discharged. In this state the luminaire draws the
least power from the battery in order to prevent
deep discharge.
Is accomplished by briefly (<1 sec.) pressing the
TEST button. This permits the user to test the good
operation of the luminaire’s emergency circuit. The
unit simulates a power failure and the lamps are lit
using the batteries. This manual test does not
affect the automatic test.
DIMMING OPTION
Whe n the v oltag e is interr u pted, wi th
corresponding pressings of the button, we can
choose the illumination of 100%, 50%, 33% or
turned off, either to increase the autonomy time or
not to consume the battery power unnecessarily.
This option is canceled when the power network is
restored.
LAMP TESTING
The luminaire tests the good condition of the lamps
in emergency mode and warns the user for
probable malfunction. If a lamp is found faulty then
the LAMP FAULT indicator starts to blink. To verify
which lamp is faulty use the TEST button. If the
faulty lamp is replaced then the error is
automatically restored and the indicator is turned
OFF.

SHORTCUT
The recharging device will recharge the battery
normally after the short circuit is removed and the
batterie(s) are reinstalled.
MANUAL TESTING
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY CIRCUIT TEST
1. Every test, installation or maintenance procedure
must be done only by qualified personnel.
type, by the manufacturer or by a competent
connected). During this test the lamps are turned
ON for 3 seconds using the batteries. In some
cases this function might not be acceptable (i.e in
cinema theaters) so the installer must take this into
account during the installation.
AUTOMATIC DURATION TEST
This test is conducted every 6 months by
simulating a power failure, if the battery and mains
power supply are connected. The unit lights the
lamps using the charged battery and counts the
time until the stated duration. If the lamps are ON
during the end of the test then the unit is restored to
its normal operation (lamps OFF and battery
charging). If the lamps go OFF before the end of the
test then the unit is restored to its normal operation
but the LAMP FAULT / BATT. FAULT indicator is lit
to show that there is a problem with the battery and
that the battery must be replaced. Let it be noted
that this duration test is also done during every long
power failure. If the power failure lasts for a long
time and the luminaire has entered the BATTERY
CUTOFF mode and the duration measured is not
correct then the fault indicator will light when the
power is restored.
ERASING ERRORS
Erasing errors is accomplished with a prolonged
pressing of the TEST button (>5 sec) when the unit
is connected to the mains power supply. The fault
indicated with the indicator LAMP FAULT / BATT.
FAULT will be erased. If the cause of the fault has
not been restored (i.e burned lamp) then the
indicator will light again. If the fault was caused by a
low emergency duration and you erase the error
then this will be indicated again during the next
duration test after 6 months. In this case (for
duration errors) it is vital to replace the battery
before erasing the error (the error is automatically
erased if the mains power and the battery are
disconnected).
WARNING !!!
2. The unit must be connected to the mains power
supply using a line fuse rated accordingly.
3. The replacement of the battery and the light
source must be done using parts of the same
person.
4. If the luminaire must be isolated from the mains
power supply for more than 2 months then the
batteries must be disconnected by removing the
battery connectors.
5. I s not allowed to discard batteries in to t i
common trash bins, the y m u s t b e
discarded only in battery recycling points.
Do not incinerate.
