9. Servicing of this equipment should be performed by qualified service personnel.
10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
INSTALLATION
Hardwired Installation:
1. Extend unswitched 24 hour AC supply of rated voltage to a junction box (supplied by others) installed in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Leave at least 8 inches of slack wire. This circuit should NOT
be energized/live at this time.
2. Open the unit by unscrewing the cover screws on the sides of the unit (Figure 2). The front cover can then be lifted
up and removed.
3. Unit is supplied with universal spider knockouts and keyhole slots stamped into the back of the cabinet. Knock out
the appropriate hole(s) and bring wires through the hole(s) into the cabinet.
4. Mount the unit securely into place. Do not rely on the electrical box as the only support for the unit. There are two
keyhole mounting slots provided in the back of the unit for wall mounting.
5. Make proper wiring connections between the AC supply and the unit’s transformer per diagram provided (Figure 4).
Insulate unused wire! Connect ground to supplied green ground wire in accordance with local codes.
Reassemble all wire connections and connectors. CAUTION! - Failure to insulate unused wire may result in a
shock hazard or unsafe condition as well as equipment failure.
6. For large units the batteries may be shipped separately. Install batteries into the cabinet and complete the
appropriate battery connections (Figure 5).
7. Uncoil the wire lead(s) from the Positive circuit board terminal (+) and connect to the positive terminal connector on the
battery (Figure 3).
8. Route wires and secure in place.
9. Replace cover and secure cover screws.
10. Turn on AC line voltage supply.
11. Position lamps/heads to provide best lighting distribution by loosening head set screws to adjust angle and swivel.
Manually rotate or twist head to desired position then tighten set screws to lock position.
CAUTION
This equipment is furnished with a sophisticated low voltage battery dropout circuit to protect the battery from over-discharge
after it’s useful output has been used. Allow 24 hours recharge time after installation or power failure for full-load testing.
OPERATION
1. To Test, depress the TEST Switch. Charge indicator will go out and the DC lamps will come on.
2. Release the TEST Switch. DC lamps will be extinguished, and the charge indicator will come on.
3. A bright charge indicator indicates a high charge rate. After the battery has reached full charge, the indicator
light will go out. Under normal operation the high charge indicator will turn off and on intermittently while the
unit is in standby mode (regular/mains AC present) since the charge rate will vary in order to maintain an
optimal battery charge.
