GENERAL
This model is designed to convert common 230V AC luminaires to emergency luminaires with
a lamp range of 18-58 Watts . They are suitable for both conventional and electronic ballast
installations. It has a built in charger that keeps the batteries charged when the mains supply
is on. In the event of a power failure the device automatically switches to emergency power
and lights the lamp in emergency mode. The emergency duration depends on the lamp type
(see the table below for a duration reference using most commonly used lamps). When the
mains power is ON we can TEST the luminaire by pressing the test button for a few
seconds. When the TEST button is depressed then the emergency circuit of the device takes
control of the lamp and the lamp lights in emergency mode. The LED is ON in case of a normal
power supply and the battery is charging.
INSTALLATION
Installation is very simple and is done according to the schematics below. Depending on the
type of ballast available, see the according connection schematic!!! Power the device after
connecting the lamps. The contact marked L1 on the schematic goes to the mains Live via a
switch or without a switch.The wire used should be solid copper wire with a cross-section of
0.5mm2 - 2,5mm2. The end that enters the terminal block should be striped 8,5mm - 9,5mm. This
device has been tested with OSRAM, PHILLIPS, SYLVANIA type fluorescent tubes.
