IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
• Equipment should be mounted securely in locations and at heights where it will not be readily subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
• The use of accessory equipment and replacement parts not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.
• The AC voltage rating of this equipment is specified on the product label. Do not connect equipment to any other voltage.
RAB fixtures must be wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. Proper grounding is
required for safety. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON
FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the front cover.
2. Mount the equipment securely in place on the wall. Two additional
Key Hole mounting holes are located at the top of the unit housing
in addition to the J-Box mounting holes. These 2 additional
mounting slot holes must be used when the unit is mounted to the
wall. Additional chain suppor t may be required by local codes.
Chain hook holes are provided at each end of the enclosure.
3. Extend 24 hr AC supply of rated voltage to the equipment, which is
furnished with a dual voltage (120/277V) field selectable input.
Connect unit to utility power using an approved connector. For 120V
supply connect the line wire to the Black lead and for 277V supply
connect the line wire to the Red lead. Connect neutral wire to the
White lead. The Ground wire (green lead) needs to be connected in
accordance with the local codes. DO NOT energize the circuit at this
time. CAUTION: Insulate the unused Black or Red wire. Failure to do so
may cause an unsafe condition.
4. If remote fixtures are to be connected to the equipment extend the
remote circuit in accordance with Ar ticle 700 and 720 of the National
Electric Code (NEC) and connect to the yellow and violet leads coming
out of the unit. CAUTION: The minimum wire size required by the NEC
is 12 gauge Copper or equivalent. Your installation may require larger
sized wire to ensure that the voltage drop DOES NOT exceed 5%. Do
not exceed the total output rating of the equipment including any
additional mounted heads.
5. Install and connect the battery.
6. Energize the unit with AC supply. The charge indicator will illuminate.
7. Replace the unit cover.
8. Adjust and focus the lighting heads as required.
OPERATION
1. To test the equipment, depress the TEST switch. The charge (LED)
indicator will turn OFF and the emergency lights will illuminate.
2. Once you release the TEST switch the emergency lights will turn OFF
and the charge (LED) indicator will illuminate.
3. The automatic charger will retur n into action, charging the battery
and trying to maintain it in a fully charged state.
NOTE: Allow the battery to charge for a minimum of 24 hrs after
installation or after a power failure before conducting a 90-minute test
(see TESTING section).
CAUTION: This equipment is furnished with a sophisticated solid state
transfer switch which will automatically disconnect the emergency
lights from the batter y if the batter y has been discharged to the end
of its useful output.
WARNING: Unused wires must be capped using enclosed wire nuts.

1. The emergency lights DO NOT operate and
a. If the charge indicator light if OFF
- Check that the circuit breaker for AC supply is ON.
B. If the charge indicator light is ON
- Check that the batter y is proper ly connected.
- If remote lamps are connected to the equipment, then turn OFF
the AC supply and disconnect the remote circuit wires from the
equipment. Turn ON the AC supply and depress the test switch.
If the local lamps (mounted on the equipment itself) come ON,
then check the remote circuit for short or over load condition
and correct as required. Reconnect the circuit wires and restore
AC power.
- If the local lamps don’t turn ON after disconnecting the remote
circuit wires, then replace battery.
2. Emergency lights are dim- Implies battery might not be fully charged.
Allow batter y to recharge for 24 hours and then re-test.
3. Remote lights are dim -Remote wire size is too small causing
excessive voltage drop (more than the permitted 5%) and thus causing
the lamps to illuminate with less intensity. Refer to STEP 4 of
INSTALLATION section for more information.
Paragraph 31-1.3.7 of NFPA 101-1985, Life Safety Code requires that all
emergency lighting equipment be functionally tested every 30 days
for a minimum of 30 seconds and tested annually for full 90-minute
duration. Written records of the testing are to be kept for examination
by the authority having jurisdiction.
NOTE: Please contact factory for help with other types of issues.
WARNING:
UNUSED WIRES MUST BE CAPPED USING ENCLOSED WIRE NUTS.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always turn OFF AC power to the equipment before
servicing. Ser vicing should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Only manufacturer SUPPLIED or APPROVED replacement
parts must be used.
1. BATTERY: The battery supplied with this unit requires ZERO
maintenance. However it should be tested periodically (see TESTING
section) and replaced when it no longer operates the connected
fixtures for the complete duration of a 30-second or 90-minute test.
It has a life expectancy of 5-7 yrs when used in a normal ambient
temperature of 72°F.
2. OTHER: Clean lenses and replace lamps as and when required.
