INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All servicing should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
Equipment should be mounted in locations and at
heights where it will not be readily subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
The use of accessory equipment not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipment for other than intended
use.
Do not let supply cords touch hot surfaces.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
CAUTION: Halogen cycle lamp(s) are used in
this equipment. To avoid shattering: Do not
operate lamp in excess of rated voltage, protect
lamp against abrasion and scratches and against
liquids when lamp is operating, dispose of lamp
with care.
Halogen cycle lamps operate at high temperatures.
Do not store or place flammable materials near
lamp.
CAUTION: “To avoid electrical overload, total
connected lamp load (factory and field installed)
should not exceed output rating”.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – Shut off AC power to branch
circuits to which units will be connected. All
wiring should be per N.E.C. Articles 501-4(b)
and local codes.
To maintain warranty, equipment with batteries
must be installed or placed on charge within
prescribed period after shipment.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1) Begin the installation process by
determining mounting options.
2) The slotted, circular keyways can be used to
secure the mounting plate to a standard
junction box. The junction box must be
secured sufficiently to handle the weight of
the unit.
3) Additionally, three slotted vertical keyways
may be used to attach the mounting plate to
independent anchor supports. Use three #8
toggle bolts for securing to wallboard or
hollow concrete walls. If the wiring is wall
recessed, run wires through center hole of
mounting plate in preparation for unit
wiring.
HOOKUP INSTRUCTIONS
Standard Units:
Connect A.C. service to unit charger leads:
Blue = 277 VAC
Black = 120 VAC
White = Common
Green = Ground
1. Connect remote lamps, if applicable, to
orange and yellow flying leads connected to
RL+ and RL- respectively. Ensure total unit
load (including internal lamps) does not
exceed unit rating.
2. Adjust head(s) to illuminate desired area(s).
3. Close cover and screw shut. Ensure
electrical wires and membrane switch cable
remain inside unit and that the cover does
not pinch wires when closed. Hand tighten
two thumb nuts to finalize cover closure.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
1. Units may ship without batteries installed
depending on the wattage of the unit. For
lead units, battery wiring harnesses are
already connected to PCB assembly and
connection to the batteries is required. In
the case of Nicad units, connection of
battery harness to the PCB is required.
2. Install and wire batteries as appropriate.
(See Page 6-7 for battery configurations)
3. Tighten straps to secure batteries inside unit.
OPTIONAL MOUNTING SHELF
1. If the unit is to be mounted to poles or
columns, use the optional mounting shelf kit
(ordered separately).
2. Once mounting shelf is installed, the unit is
ready for installation.
3. Place unit on shelf and secure with three (3)
securing screws to shelf threaded inserts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Normal Power-Up Sequence
At power-up, the red and green LED
indicators will alternately flash for one to
two seconds. Next, the unit will go through
a “Power-up Quick Test” with the green
LED flashing quickly. If no power-up faults
are detected, the green LED will then flash
slowly for approximately 36-72 hours to
indicate the unit is in a high rate of charge.

If any faults are detected during ‘Power-up
Quick Test’, these will be indicated by a
flashing red LED indicator (Reference Table
2). The red LED may be accompanied by a
buzzer. In the event of a unit error, this
buzzer may be disabled by a short press of
the test switch and will remain disabled for a
period of 196 hours (8 days). After the fault
has been corrected, the red LED flash and
buzzer will be cleared automatically and the
unit will return to normal operation.
2. Press and hold the ‘TEST’ button. The
lamps should illuminate and the green
indicator lamp indicate steady green while
the lamps are on.
3. Release ‘TEST’ button. Lamps should
extinguish and the green indicator lamp
should be steady green if batteries are in
maintenance charge or blinking indicating a
high rate of charge.
4. Leave A.C. connected for a minimum of 24
hours before performing any abbreviated
testing. Full recharge of batteries may take
up to 72 hours.
5. Once energized, the unit will wait 36 hours
while the batteries are charged and then
perform an automatic lamp load calculation.
The system will then detect and indicate a
load loss of 10% and indicate a lamp failure.
Replace lamps as required. Upon lamp
replacement, run any manual self-test and
the system will return to normal operating
status.
6. If, after installation and calibration, lamp
load is increased or decreased the system
will need to be manually calibrated for the
new total load. To re-calibrate, press the test
switch four times. The unit will illuminate
for 30 seconds and then return to normal
operation status.
7. Lamp re-calibration can also be
accomplished with the optional remote
control by pressing in sequence, ‘Silence,
Silence, Cancel, Silence’. The lamps will
illuminate for a brief time and then return to
normal operation status.
SELF-TEST / SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1. This unit’s charge / discharge circuit is
microprocessor controlled. The charging
circuit consists of a two stage charging
program which will charge the batteries at a
high rate of charge and once the batteries
approach the correct float voltage, the
charger will switch to a maintenance charge
mode.
2. The microprocessor controls and detects the
following conditions:
a. Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) –
Disconnects battery power from unit
when battery voltage drops below
87.5% of nominal voltage to protect
the batteries from deep discharge.
b. AC Brownout – Disconnects the unit
from line voltage and transfers the
unit to emergency mode when the
line voltage sags to 80% or below.
c. AC Lock OUT – When line voltage
and battery voltage is removed from
the unit, the unit will remain off until
line voltage is returned. Used to
place the unit into hibernation.
d. Temperature Compensation –
Battery voltage temperature
compensation is performed by the
microprocessor on a continual basis
based on unit ambient temperature
conditions.
e. Lamp Load Failure Detect –
Indicated a load failure when more
than 10% of the original load is
determined to be removed.
f. Reverse battery connection polarity.
3. For information regarding failure mode
indications, see Failure Codes Table 2
below.
