Mechanical installation
This should be looked at with a view to both temperatures and
convenience before commencing. Firstly the battery is the most
sensitive of the components and has a temperature sticker set at 50°C
on its case. It should be pointed out that this is a maximum value in
order to give an expected life in excess of 4 years as required by
IEC598 (BS 4533). If run continuously at 60°C for example, the
expected life would be approximately 3 years and capacity and charge
acceptance would be reduced. The optimum battery performance
would be achieved at 30°C and obviously the nearer to this figure the
better will be the performance.
The module should not exceed 70°C at the centre of the side of the can
as this will tend to degrade components which are temperature
sensitive.
An example of converting a typical 5' or 6' battery is shown in figure 1
The choke has been moved to enable the battery to be sited at the
coolest part of the luminaire.
Electrical installation
All units have a 4 pole changeover relay which fully isolates the mains
control gear from the inverter in the module enabling the units to
operate with any type of mains control gear. This feature allows units to
comply with the EMC directive but compliance of the luminaire will be
dependant on wiring arrangement. The connection diagram for the
modules below shows the "hot" lamp leads in bold lines.
These wires must be kept as short as possible and seperated from all
mains leads to minimise RFI transfer between live and neutral
connections. Fused terminal blocks should be situated so that incoming
mains connections are short.

Typical internal connections are shown dotted to illustrate the
arrangement in the "mains healthy" condition. When electronic ballasts
are being used this will indicate the best connections to match "hot"
leads and ensure critical lead lengths are not exceeded. Since this
module features complete isolation of mains control gear from the
inverter, the normal leads from mains gear to lamp should be
connected in cathode pairs as shown.
5 cell and 6 cell modules
These modules can be used with all switchstart, quickstart, semi-
resonant control gear and most electronic ballasts. All Connections for
the two types of module with switch (glow or electronic) start control
gear are as shown in figures 2 and 3.
To operate one of a series pair of 18w lamps on the 5-cell unit the lamp
at the neutral end of the series pair would be selected
for the emergency lamp and the other lamp left connected to the choke
as shown in figure 2.
For luminaires fitted with integral lampholders/starter holders the circuit
diagrams are as shown in figures 4 and 5.
