Installation Manual
GREETINGS
Congratulations on choosing to use this Thomas & Betts product covered by our unique Through-Life Support system. This document is
designed to assist you during the installation of this product; for the safety of yourself and others Thomas & Betts recommends
that you read this document thoroughly before commencing installation. The ttings are designed for easy
installation. They are advanced pieces of electronic equipment which, when treated with care and maintained through regular and
appropriate servicing, will perform reliably for many years to come.
SAFETY WARNING
In Australia and New Zealand, only licensed electricians are permitted by law to work with 240 Volt electrical installations.
Do not attempt to install or connect this product unless you are a licensed electrician.
Turn off and isolate the electrical supply before connecting this tting to the building wires.
Do not touch the terminals of the terminal block when the light tting is energised.
The only user-serviceable parts are uorescent or halogen lamp/s. LED light sources are not user-servicable.
Do not tamper with the tting or the warranty will be void.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant building and safety codes, (ie: AS3000, AS/NZS2293).
Refer to the applicable standards for data and mains cabling installation procedures and requirements.
Important Note: This product is designed for indoor use only.
NEXUS LX (DATA CABLE SYSTEM)
The Nexus range of emergency light tting are designed to be connected together into a special communication network over a Level
4 (or higher) high speed, single twisted pair data cable. The Nexus LX User & Technical Guide describes all you need to know to
successfully install a Nexus project. Ask for it from your supervisor, from your employer or from your nearest Thomas & Betts product
supplier. The network cabling of the building must be installed as per the procedure detailed in the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide. No
mains or mains carrying cables are to be connected to the data terminals or cables.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Gently insert a small screwdriver into the slot (at ‘D’ in Figure 3) on the front of the bracket towards the right hand end of the tting, to ease
the locking tab into the tting and away from the bracket. The unit is then free to slide to the right along the bracket for about 50mm, at
which time the slots line up and it can be lowered away from the bracket, allowing the two to separate. The unit will automatically switch
into emergency mode because it has been removed from the power supply. It will stay on emergency until such time as the battery cut
off threshold is reached or it is reconnected back onto the power supply, whichever happens rst. When the unit is reconnected to the
supply, it will need time to recharge its battery before it will be capable of a full length discharge again. The ability of the unit to operate
on emergency is determined by the age, charge level, operating temperature conditions and environmental circumstances of the battery
in the unit.
TESTING PRECAUTIONS
Once the tting is permanently connected to the mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as required in AS/NZS2293.2 must be
carried out. You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to fully charge prior to conducting this test, presently (at the time of writing),
the standard requires that ttings operate in emergency mode for a period not less than 2 hours for their commissioning test and for
not less than 90 minutes thereafter (it is required that 6 monthly discharge tests be carried out). You will need to keep the records for
the commissioning test and enter them into the building emergency services logbook or via other recording methods as allowed by
AS/NZ2293.2.
CONSTRUCTION SITES
Continuously switching of the mains power supply that is connected to emergency light ttings during the construction phase of an
installation will cause these ttings to discharge and charge their batteries many times over a short period; this can shorten the life of the
battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life for uorescent ttings. Thomas & Betts does not recommend such practices
and may not honour the warranty on batteries when they are subjected to such harsh operating conditions. Emergency light ttings are
designed to be discharge tested once every 6 months as per AS/NZS2293.2, subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge
cycles is regarded as an abuse of the ttings.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
If you have installed and connected the unit as per the instructions listed earlier and it does not function correctly, use the following table
as a guide to xing the problem. Look up the type of fault in the left column and check the possible causes from the right column.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the unit from the packing box and inspect it for damage or imperfections. If any damage is found, do not install the unit,
but replace it carefully into the packing box and notify the Thomas & Betts Product Support Hotline in Australia on 1300 666 595.
2. If all looks okay, proceed for installation. Take the mounting bracket and whilst holding it into place against the ceiling or wall, use
a pencil to mark the position of the screw holes (at A and/or B in Figure 1) and cable entry position through the bracket onto the
ceiling or wall as appropriate. Make sure to allow at least 50mm of free space to the right hand side of the nal location of the unit to
allow for the sliding function of attaching the unit to the mounting bracket. If need be, turn the bracket around and swap the diffuser
with the back plate to permit room for inserting and removing the unit from the mounting bracket. Orient the bracket in such a way
as to make the LED and push button readily visible and accessible when the unit is installed.
3. Remove the bracket to reveal the pencil marks and if the cabling is to be concealed, drill a 20mm hole for the cable entry prior
to installing the bracket. Make sure the mounting screw locations are into solid material and strong enough to support the weight
of the complete unit, (approx 2kg: build-up, strengthen or support the mounting material if necessary) and attach the bracket.
Because of the wide variety of building construction materials and the wide variety of screw fasteners appropriate to each type,
mounting screws are not provided with the unit. If appropriate and safe, drill and use your own xing holes in the mounting
bracket to suit the individual installation location and structural support needs of the unit.
4. Run the cables in the ceiling or wall space as appropriate or surface mounted in conduit and through the cable hole into the
bracket. Strip, connect and terminate the cables as indicated in Figure 2. Ensure that the double insulation of the cable/s passes
completely into the terminal block enclosure so that no single insulation is exposed when the cover is in place. The hole plug set
includes a suitable bush to mechanically protect the cable as it passes through the opening in the mounting bracket. Likewise, the
single insulation of the conductors should run right up to the metal edge of the terminals leaving no bare conductors outside of
the terminals. Be careful with multi-strand conductors that all of the strands are twisted together before insertion into the terminal.
Any stray strands that inadvertently come into contact with their neighbouring terminal or the metal frame of the tting will cause
undesirable results when the tting is powered.
• 2x10W sustained tting can be wired for permanent illumination or switched illumination via the switched active input.
• 1x10W and cold cathode maintained ttings are design for permanent illumination: Connect incoming unswitched active, neutral
and earth to terminal marked USA, N and E respectively. (Note: For permanent illumination of 2x10W sustained unit looping link
between SA and USA must be left in place).
• For switched illumination in a 2x10W sustained tting: Connect incoming switched active, unswitched active, neutral and earth to
terminal marked SA, USA, N and E respectively. (Note: Remove looping link between SA and USA).
Data Connections
• The same colour wire from each of the data cables connects to the terminal marked +
• The other colour wire from each of the data cables connects to the terminal marked --
• When connected, replace the terminal block cover so that it clicks and locks into place.
No mains or mains carrying cables are to be connected to the data terminals or cables.
5. Fit the back plate and/or diffuser/s to the unit (if not already in place). Attach the unit to the mounting bracket by aligning the top
left hand end of the unit (the end without the protruding electrical connecting metal lugs) with the large cut-away slot towards the
left hand end of the bracket. Slip the left hand end of the unit up into the slot in the left hand end of the bracket (Step (1) in Figure
3) and hold the unit horizontal to and parallel with the bracket. It should be approximately 50mm to the right of its nal destination.
Simply slide the unit (Step (2) in Figure 3) 50mm to the left along and into the bracket to engage the connections and the locking
tab. Once in place, the unit cannot be removed from the bracket without the use of a tool (a small screwdriver) to push in the locking
tab at ‘D’ in Figure 3.
6. Once powered up, the normal AC lamp (if present) should energise and remain lit until the power supply fails. The emergency
function of the tting should only operate when the normal lighting power supply fails, when somebody presses the manual test
button located on the side of the unit or when commissioned on the Nexus network and the unit receives a command from the
Nexus controller to switch into emergency mode. Normal initial uncommissioned status of the indicating LED on the unit is ashing
green. Once commissioned, the LED changes to a steady red and ashes red during test when receives commend from the Nexus
system. Please refer to the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide for a full detailed description of all possible LED states and their
meanings.
7. Check the operation of the unit to ensure that the installation was successful. When powered up, allow a few minutes to give the
battery a small charge, then press the manual test button located at the top right hand side edge of the unit. Hold the test button in
for a few seconds and observe the operation of the lamp switching from mains to the emergency mode. If the lamp on emergency
mode works momentarily, that’s okay. Try again in a few more minutes because if the battery was completely discharged, it may
take a little time to charge up enough to operate even momentarily. After this time, press the test button again and if the lamp
doesn’t work at all, check the supply, the connections and the trouble shooting guide at the end of this document.
8. Once manually checked as per item 7 above, the unit is ready to be communication tested and commissioned into the Nexus
network and registered in the database. Keep the information details of this unit including exact location description, DB and CB
numbering, channel and router numbering, plan number and cross referencing information as all this will be required for entry
into the database during commissioning. Refer to the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide for full details. As the installer, it is your
responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of the installed unit. Refer to AS/NZS2293.
