General Information
These instructions contain important information
regarding safety. They should be read carefully and retained
at the installation for future reference. We will not accept any
responsibility for any injury, damage or loss which may arise
as a result of incorrect installation, operation or maintenance
due to non-adherence to these instructions.
The emergency lighting must be installed by a competent
person or persons in accordance with the relevant wiring
regulations.
All self-contained emergency lighting luminaires require a
continuous 220V/240V single phase 50Hz supply to deep
the inbuilt batteries charged. This supply must be taken from
the lighting supply in the area being protected in order that
should the mains lighting supply fail the emergency lighting in
that area will illuminate.
In addition MAINTAINED and SUSTAINED fittings require
a separate switched live supply enabling the fitting to be
operated normally from the mains supply.
Please note: The design life of a T5 fluorescent lamp is 5000
hours and therefore if maintained / sustained fittings all
illuminated 24 hours a day lamp life will be approximately 6
months. If the lamps are not replaced promptly, the
luminaires circuitry maybe damaged.
Before commencing installation (and before work of any kind
takes place) ensure that the electrical supply and the battery
pack are disconnected.
EMERGENCY LIGHTS SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED
TO A STABLE, PERMANENT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
FREQUENT SUPPLY INTERRUPTIONS WILL RESULT IN
DAMAGING “CHARGE/DISCHAGE” CYCLING OF THE
FITTING AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY GUARANTEE.
Safety Instructions
1. Ensure sufficient distance around the apparatus for the
correct ventilation.
2. Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the unit in
anyway.
3. Please dispose of any batteries in the correct manner.
4. Do not use in tropical and / or high temperature climates.
5. Do not allow any water to come into contact with this
product.
6. If the external flexible cable or cord to this light fitting is
damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician on
order to avoid a hazard.
Installation Instructions
1. Fix the light fitting to wall.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TO EXTEND BATTERY LIFE ALWAYS
FIT LUMINAIRE WITH BATTERIES AT THE BOTTOM
WHEN WALL MOUNTING.
2. Connect mains supply wiring as follows:
3. For component protection in transit and user safety the
luminaire battery fuse is supplied separately in the fitting.
4. When all connections have been made reassemble the fitting
completely.
5. Switch on 220V~240V AC supply and check that the green
LED indicator illuminates to conform charging of batteries.
6. Allow a short period for part charging of the batteries and
then isolate the mains supply to the fitting in order to check
the correct operation of the fitting in emergency mode.
After a further 36 hours on continuous charge (and only at
a safe appropriate time) a mains failure should be simulated
to ensure that the fitting illuminates for its specified time.
Thereafter the fitting will have at least 1 hours backup after
14 hours chanrge and will be fully charged within 24 hours.

Maintenance
1. Failed lamps should be replaced promptly to avoid damage to the luminaire.
2. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Only replacement components authorised by Red Arrow should
be used. Disposal of replaced components should be in accordance with the component manufactures instructions.
3. Special care should be taken if it is required to open the fitting beyond that which is necessary for re-lamping the fitting
may still be live even though the mains supplies have been disconnected. In these circumstances disconnect the battery
supply immediately.
4. Servicing, cleaning, lamp replacement etc. Should only be carried out after the fitting has been made electrically safe.
5. Cleaning of luminaires should be carried out at regular intervals not only to ensure good optical performance but also to
ensure that dirt does not accumulate to impair the electrical or thermal safety of the fitting.
6. To avoid damage to the luminaire failed lamps should be replaced promptly with a lamp of the recommended type and
rating, and of the same manufacture following these instructions.
7. The rated life of miniature T5 fluorescent tubes operating continuously on emergency maintained / sustained circuits is
some 5,000 hours. Therefore all lamps operating continuously in maintained / sustained fittings should be replaced on a 4
to 6 monthly maintenance schedule to maintain maximum system integrity.
8. NB Due to the small diameter of T5 fluorescent tubes manufacturers are unable to fit electrode shields as fitted to larger
T12 tubes and therefore some blackening of the tube ends is to be expected as a normal characteristic.
9. Batteries are the Nickel Cadmium type and have a normal service life of approximately 4 years.
10. Battery replacement should be carried out after 4 year period.
