MAINTENANCE:
CAUTION: Always turn OFF AC power to the equipment before servicing. Operator should disconnect battery if the lamps are
on to remove power from lampheads before service lampheads. Servicing should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Only manufacturer SUPPLIED or APPROVED replacement parts must be used.
BATTERY: The battery supplied with this unit requires ZERO maintenance. However, it should be tested periodically and replace
when it no longer operates the connected fixtures for complete duration of a monthly 30-second or annual 90-minute test.
NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code) requires that all emergency lighting equipment be functionally tested every 30 days for a
minimum of 30 seconds and tested annually for full 90-minute duration. Written records of the testing are to be kept for
examination by the authority having jurisdiction.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. The emergency lights DO NOT operate:
a) If the charge indicator light is OFF — Check that the circuit breaker and validate the AC supply voltage is present.
b) If the charge indicator light is Red - Check that the battery is properly connected.
2. If remote lamps are connected to the equipment and are not working:
a) Turn OFF the AC supply, disconnect battery and disconnect the remote circuit wires from the equipment.
b) Turn ON the AC supply, reconnect battery and depress the test switch.
c)
If the local lamps (mounted on the equipment itself) come ON, then check the remote circuit for short or overload
condition and correct as required. Reconnect the circuit wires and restore AC power and battery connection.
d) If the local lamps don't turn ON after disconnecting the remote circuit wires, then replace battery.
e) If the previous step does not resolve the problem, unit may need to be replaced.
3. Emergency lights are dim-implies battery might not be fully charged. Allow battery to recharge for 24 hours and then re-
test.
