General
The RS range of weatherproof (IP65) self-contained emergency
luminaires are designed to provide illuination of walkways, carparks,
warehouses and escape routes.
Installation
Note : Installers are reminded of the British Standard Code for
Practice for The Emergency Lighting of Premises BS5266 Part
1 to which all installations should comply.
Remove the diffuser by unscrewing the two hexagon cap screws using
the key provided. Loosen the geartray locking screw 1/2 to 1 turn and
unplug the geartray by sliding it sideways so as to disconnect the key-
hole slot from the locking screw. Remove all packing.
Holes must be drilled in the gallery for the luminaire to be installed. Drill
centres are provided in the base for mounting on a BESA box or 20mm
conduit coupling, and a 20mm hole saw can be used to drill out the side
conduit entry if the drill is centred in the end of the slot in the gallery
end wall, as indicated in figure 1.
If side entry is to be used a long threaded gland or male bush should
be used. A 20mm nylon washer (to be used on the inside of the gallery)
and a BESA box gasket are provided to aid in making a waterproof
joint. See Cable/Cable Accessories in the current RS catalogue for
suitable cable glands.
Supply Connections
The fitting must be connected to a permanent uninterrupted AC. supply
of suitable voltage and frequency as indicated on the unit.
Connect the mains supply to the terminal block on the base as follows:-
Connect Earth to terminal marked
Neutral to terminal market
Unswitched live to terminal marked
Switched live to terminal marked
DO NOT insulation test after installation. In accordance with IEE
regulation 613-7 and ECA/LIF recommendations, disconnect live and
neutral wires from unit before insulation resistance check. This is most
easily done by unplugging geartray.
Plug in the geartray by locating the keyhole slot over the locking screw
and slide the geartray sideways until the screw locates in the end of the
slot.
Tighten the locking screw and refit the diffuser ensuring that the o rings
are in position on the diffuser fixing screws.
Operation
Connect the unswitched live to the installation and check that the red
indicator diode is glowing signifying a healthy battery charging state.
Check that the lamp is lit when the switched live in ON (maintained
units only). After the fitting has been connected to the supply for 24
hours isolate the mains at source and check that the emergency
lamp(s) becomes alight and remains lit for at least the rated duration
period.
If it is not possible to conduit a full duration test as above, charge for a
minimum of 1 hour after which the lamp should illuminate for a few
minutes.

Testing and Maintenance
RS Stock No.
It is recommended that a full duration test is carried out in the
emergency mode. The following testing routine should be adopted.
Every Month
565-838
Isolate the mains supply and check that emergency lamp illuminates.
570-278
Every Six Months
Check the emergency circuit for a period of at least an hour, the
emergency lamp should remain alight for this period.
Every Three Years
A full 3 hour duration check should be conducted. The emergency lamp
should remain alight for this period.
Important:
Preventive Maintenance
Clean diffuser at regular intervals. Every four years replace battery
assembly (or at other intervals if the duration test does not satisfy the
3 hour requirement).
Date of commissioning
Date of commissioning should be filled in on the space provided on the
battery label by either the installer or commissioning engineer.
Battery Replacement
Performance of the luminaire is dependent on the use of the correct
type of high temperature Nickel Cadmium batteries. Battery life may be
impaired if the luminaire is mounted in an ambient temperature of
greater than 25°C. Battery storage temperature should be between 0
and 25°C. Always replace battery pack with high temperature, Nickel
Cadmium Batteries. Always connect red lead to +ve (positive) and
black lead to -ve (negative). Take care not to damage the sleeving. The
batteries shoul dbe replaced when the rated duration is no longer
achieved.
Warning: When disposing of batteries do not pierce, incinerate or
