hole plug(5). Feed AC supply leads (and DC leads for remote lamps if
applicable) out through top opening and then through canopy. Remove the
canopy lock(12). Snap the canopy into the opening on top of frame. Rein-
stall the canopy lock into the canopy. Secure the assembly with canopy
housing screw(11) (See Fig. 1). Make the proper wire connections. The
“Quick-install” canopy is equipped with ribs allowing you to hang the unit
spider plate to facilitate wiring (See Fig.4). Feed the excess wire into the
junction box. Unhook unit and slide ribs on canopy into designated
notches on the spider plate (See Fig. 4). Secure the canopy to the junction
box using the canopy screws provided(10).
6. Install battery(s) and wires.
7. Remove the appropriate chevron(s) on the exit door by holding sign with both
hands. Push chevrons from the inside with thumb (See Fig. 2). You will need to
unsnap the diffuser panel to do so.
8. Connect battery “T Connector” to PCB (“B” connection) (See Fig. 6 ).
9. Remote lamp(s) connection : Feed external DC+ & DC- wires through unit and
connect to internal wires using wire nuts provided (See Fig. 6).
10. Reinstall combo door(s). Fasten screws (only for some models).
11. Remove lenses (See Fig. 3) and discard plastic bags. Adjust the lamps in
appropriate position. Re-install both lens.
12. Energize AC. Sign will illuminate.
Note — DC input voltage is 6 or 12 volts depending on unit type.
Unit testing
Manual testing
Press test switch. Legend will flicker, but remain lit. On release, external green
LED will illuminate, and automatic charger will restore battery to full charge.
Automatic testing and diagnostics
The automatic testing and diagnostic function includes a micro-controller which
self-tests the unit on a monthly basis and identifies as well displays failures of the
electrical components: battery, battery charger, lamps, LEDs.
Self-test
The self-test is performed every months for 1 minute, every 6 months for
30 minutes, and annually for 90 minutes.
Diagnostic function
The diagnostic function uses an external green LED indicator. Service is
required if the green LED blinks indicating that an alarm condition is
detected (See Fig. 7).
For Nexus models, refer to “Nexus addendum”.
Units with automatic testing are shipped “non-audible”. If you wish to make the unit
“audible” simply re-orient the jumper “JP5” as shown in figure 8.
Maintenance — None required. If AC supply to the unit is to be disconnected for
2 months or more, the battery must be disconnected.
Note — NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries are shipped discharged and need
to be connected to an AC supply for 10 minutes before start-up test procedure, 24
hours to charge to meet a 30 minute discharge or 96 hours to reach full charge.
