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.
NEXUS RF (WIRELESS SYSTEM)
The Nexus RF range of light ttings are designed to communicate via a proprietary RF network, however the electrical installation of the
ttings is identical to that of a standard non-monitored tting.
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.
If the unit still does not work after checking these possible causes, contact Thomas & Betts Service in Australia on 1300 666 595, Monday
to Friday, 8.30am to 4.30pm (AEST) and ask for help. Our trained service personnel will usually be able to take your call immediately and
assist you in resolving your difculty. Thomas & Betts is committed to providing valuable Through-Life Support for its products.

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, installation can proceed.
3. Undo the centre retaining nut and the 2 screws and then remove the cover screws.
4. The LED Spitre Batten can be either ceiling mounted or suspended (Note: This product is not designed for wall mounting). Put
the batten against the ceiling and mark the position of the mounting screw holes. For side cable entry; remove the appropriate
cable entry knockout.
5. Secure the batten to the ceiling using appropriate xings (not supplied) depending on the type of building construction material
used.
6. Route the mains cable through the cable entry hole. The cable needs to be mechanically protected with a grommet, gland or bush
as it passes though the cable entry hole.
7. Strip 9mm insulation length from mains cable, connect and terminate wires to the terminal block. Be careful with multi-strand
conductors that all the strands are twisted together before insertion into the terminal. Any stray strands that inadvertently come into
contact with their neighbouring terminal will cause undesirable results when the tting is powered.
8. Verify that the battery is connected to the power pack or PCA. For Nexus LX product; connect the data cable to the power pack
PCA. For Nexus RF product; t the antenna connector to the hole provided in the base and then install the antenna. For more
details refer to the Data Connections section.
9. Re-install the cover and secure it to the base with the centre retaining nut and the 2 screws.
10. Energise the tting and check the operation of the tting to ensure that the installation was successful. Once powered up allow a
few minutes to give the battery a small charge then press the test button on either LED spitre lamp head. Check the operation
and LED indications per the following tables. If abnormal operation or indication is encountered refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide
section.
DATA CONNECTIONS - NEXUS LX & NEXUS RF PRODUCT RANGE
Important Note: 24 hours is required to allow the tting battery to reach full capacity, ie: prior to a
discharge test. As the installer, it is your responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of the
installed tting. Refer to AS/NZS2293.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before removing the installed tting, de-energise and lock off the supply circuit. Note: There may be 2 actives present, ensure all
power is isolated before proceeding.
2. Undo 2 screws and remove the cover.
3. Unscrew the unswitched active, switched active, neutral and earth cable connection from the terminal block. For Nexus LX tting;
unplug the data cable connection from the terminal.
4. Disconnect the battery plug from the PCA.
5. Unscrew the mounting fasteners and remove the base.
Note: When the tting is reconnected to the supply, it will need time to recharge its battery for 24 hours before it will be capable of a full
length discharge.
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.

Nexus LX tting:
Connect the data cable to the green connector on the power pack.
When correctly installed no tting should have more than 2 data cables connected to it.
If you have more than 2 data cables at any 1 tting, the installation is incorrect.
If this tting is at the end of a data cable run, a terminator needs to wired parallel across
the 2 data lines.
If there is an in and out data cable, then the shields should be wound together, folded
back and taped up.
Consult the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide for further detail, including product
commissioning.
Nexus RF tting:
Fit the antenna connector through the vacant hole on the side of the base and then
connect the antenna to it as shown.
Note: Other end of the antenna is pre-connected to the power pack.
Collect the MAC address, by removing the peel off sticker section and locating it on your
oor plan or spreadsheet.
Consult the Nexus RF User & Technical Guide for further detail, including product
commissioning.
