1General
This instruction manual is aimed at electrically skilled people according to DIN VDE 0105 or authorised technical staff and explains
the safe and professional handling of the power supply system. The general safety regulations and the local accident prevention
regulations which are valid for the area of use as well as safety instructions have to be observed. The instruction manual, especially
the chapter safety, has to be read completely prior to any works on the system.
1.1 Further applicable documents
Components from other manufacturers are mounted in the systems. The manufacturers of these components carried out a hazard
assessment and declared their compliance with existing European and national regulations.
1.2 Liability and warranty
This instruction manual was created considering existing standards. It has to be kept near the system and easily accessible for all
staff working on and with the system.
Additionally, all laws, standards and regulations of the country, in which the system is mounted and operated, have to be observed.
The manufacturer does not assume liability or warranty for damages or consequential damages occurring through:
•non-intended use
•non-authorised or non-professional changes of the connections, settings or programming of the system
•non-observance of rules and regulations for safe operation
•Operation of unauthorised or unsuitable devices on the Low Power System
1.3 Copyright protection
All content, drawings, images, and other illustrations are copyrighted.
1.4 Spare parts
Only original spare parts of the manufacturer must be used. Wrong or defective spare parts can lead to damages, malfunctions or
total failure of the system. Furthermore, the use of unauthorised spare parts voids all guarantee, warranty, service, compensation,
and liability claims.
1.5 Disposal
Packaging materials are no waste but reusable materials which have to be recycled.
Batteries and electronic components contain materials which can lead to damages to health and the environment when
inappropriately disposed. National rules and regulations for the appropriate disposal of used batteries and electronic components
have to be observed!

2Safety
The power supply system is safe to operate and complies with valid and recognised rules of engineering at the time of its
development and production. There is, however, the risk of danger when the system is used by non-professional staff or when it
is used in a non-professional or non-intended way.
The system and the connected parts must only be operated in perfect condition. The following has to be observed:
•safety instructions and hazard notes in the instruction manual
•specified work and safety instructions of the operator
Errors, which influence the function or safety of the system, have to be reported to the responsible person and cleared immediately.
2.1 Content of the instruction manual
Each person working on or with the system has to read and understand the instruction manual completely prior to any work on
the system or battery, even when this person has already worked with this system or a similar one or has been trained by the
manufacturer.
2.2 Changes and modifications of the system
Any changes or extensions to the system, which are not authorised by the manufacturer, are prohibited in order to avoid hazards
and to guarantee an optimal performance of the system. Extensions, modifications or maintainance works, which are not described
in the instruction manual, have to be carried out by trained service personnel only!
2.3 Responsibility of the operator
As described in point 1.2, this instruction manual has to be kept near the system and easily accessible for all staff working on and
with the system.
The system must only be operated in technically perfect and operationally reliable condition. Additionally, prior to its
commissioning, the system has to be checked for intactness.
2.4 Staff requirements
Only skilled technicians or authorised qualified personnel are permitted to work on or with the system after being briefed about
possible hazards.
Staff are considered qualified if they are able to judge the work to be done and recognise possible hazards based on their training,
expertise and experiences as well as their knowledge of the respective regulations.
If the staff lacks the necessary knowledge, they need to get a professional instruction. You also have to make sure that the tasks
are clearly defined and understood and the works are carried out under supervision of skilled technicians.

2.5 Safety at work
Observance of safety notes and instructions is the basis of safe working and thus damage to persons and property while working
on and with the system can be avoided.
The following organisational measures have to be defined in writing and observed:
•safety measures during the work e.g. disconnecting the power supply and securing it against reconnection, standby
lighting
•protection and safety devices against hazards from neighbouring parts of the system
•protection and safety devices for personnel working on the system
•obligation to inform and report on beginning, duration and ending of the works
Observe ESD-protection while working on the system!
2.6 Personal protection equipment
Always wear protection gear while working on and with the system:
Protective clothing (tight-fitting, low tensile strength, no wide sleeves, no rings or other jewellery)
Safety shoes (ESD-shoes according to standard EN 345)

3Preface
Thank you very much for buying a power supply system! This system complies with the national and international standards DIN
EN 50171, DIN V VDE V 0108-100, DIN VDE 0100-560, DIN VDE 0100-718 as well as ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8002, and ÖVE/ÖNORM EN2
(versions relevant on delivery) and guarantees the correct functioning of your emergency lighting system by means of a state-of-
the-art micro-processor-controlled function control system. This documentation has been created for you to quickly commission
and operate the system in an uncomplicated way.
We recommend the following course of action:
1. Observe the relevant danger signs and safety instructions (chapter 2)
2. Make yourself familiar with the design of the miniControl plus system (chapter 6.1)
3. Mount the system and batteries and connect them (chapter 6.2)
4. Commission the system (chapter 8)
5. Program the system (chapter 0)
Chapters 7.1.1 and 7.3 provide a description of the central control unit and a menu –quick reference guide. Instructions for
operation and maintenance of the batteries as well as the technical data of the system you can find in chapters 0 and 14.
Note: The system has to be shut down by a specialist for maintenance works and modifications. The necessary steps are described
in chapter 12.
Note: Instructions regarding the programming of the system using the WebInterface can be found on the web homepage of the
manufacturer.
3.1 Installation location and environmental conditions
The system and the battery system can be operated at an altitude of up to 2000m above standard elevation zero, without any
power reduction, and must be placed in an appropriate room satisfying the following environmental condition:
•Air temperature: 10°C to 35 °C
•Humidity: up to 85% max. (non-condensing, refer to DIN EN 50171)
When selecting the operation room, make sure that it has sufficient ventilation. The necessary ventilation cross sections according
to EN 50272-2 can be found in chapter 14.1 “Available battery types”. Also, please make sure that the room meets the environmental
requirements corresponding to the protection type IP20 of the system.
Note: The power and capacity of the battery system depend on the temperature: higher temperatures will shorten the life utility
while lower temperatures lower the available capacity. Technical data given is valid for a nominal operating temperature of 20°C.
Note: The system must be located in the building such that the allowed cable lengths allowed for emergency lighting circuits will
not be exceeded.
