IMPORTANT
1. Read this leaflet carefully before commencing to install the luminaire and retain it for future reference.
2. Check the rating label to ensure that the luminaire is suitable for the supply provided.
3. The luminaire must be installed in accordance with the recognised code of practice e.g. EN60 079.
4. High voltage insulation testing may be carried out, but the test voltage must not exceed 500V DC.
WARNING: Any faults to earth within the luminaires may result in permanent damage to the electronic control unit. This possibility
can be avoided by shorting the live and neutral cables together and applying the test voltage between this connection and earth.
5. The luminaire MUST be earthed
6. The operating temperature range for the luminaire is shown on the rating label. The luminaire should not be used outside this range.
7. If the luminaire is to be installed in areas of high vibration, please consult the manufacturer.
8. Under NO circumstances should a luminaire be opened, even when isolated, when an explosive gas or dust environment is present.
9. Do not use excessive force on plastic components.
10. The luminaires are designed and constructed to EN60598.
11. Prices and design are subject to alteration without notice. All products are sold subject to our conditions of sale, copies of which are
available on request. We reserve the right to change characteristics of our products. All data is for guidance only.
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES.
1. Do not attempt installation until you are familiar with all warnings, precautions and procedures within this instruction sheet.
2. Refer to the wiring diagrams for correct installation.
3. Do not over tighten fasteners into plastic parts.
4. Ensure that the mains cable connectors are correctly secured to the terminal block(s). Only one conductor should be fitted to each terminal
block. All terminal screws should be fully tightened whether a conductor is fitted or not.
5. Blanking plugs and cable glands must be of the correct type and must be fitted to the manufacturer’s specification to ensure that the seals
prevent the ingress of moisture or dust and so maintain the luminaire’s IP rating.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE NOTES.
1. IMPORTANT. Isolate the luminaire from both switched and unswitched mains supplies before carrying out any maintenance work.
2. Lamps must be changed at the intervals recommended by the lamp manufacturer.
3. It is essential that all luminaires together with their associated cables, glands, etc. which make up the installation are maintained in such a
manner as to ensure the integrity of the protection to which it is designed. BS5345 recommends initial and periodic inspections with suitable
recording of results and actions taken.
4. The frequency of inspection must be determined by the user, but should be regular enough to ensure that the luminaire installation
continues to operate in the designed manner. The more onerous the operating conditions, the more frequent the inspections should be. It is
recommended that the interval between inspections should not exceed two years.
5. Plastic components may be cleaned with water containing a small amount of detergent, followed by a clean water wash. Surplus water can
be wiped off plastic components, but they should not be wiped or polished with a dry cloth to avoid a build up of static electricity.
6. IMPORTANT. All components that are replaced must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification. Failure to use such
components invalidates the certification, approval and warranty of the luminaire and may make it dangerous. NO modification should be
made to the luminaire without the knowledge and approval of the manufacturer. If in doubt, refer to the manufacturer.

Total circuit watts: 2x18W= 42W: 2x36W=76W, when using bi-pin lamps with G13 caps
Total circuit watts: 2x18W=42W: ,2x36W=76W, when using single pin lamps with Fa 6 caps.
Maximum inrush current at switch on is 30A (18W) and 40A (36W) for < 1ms
Power factor correction is better then 0.95
Emergency duration typically 3 hours at 20°C
The luminaire housing and lens are made polycarbonate, the reflector is made from painted stainless steel. The user must ensure that these
materials are suitable for the atmosphere the luminaire will be installed in.
SPECIAL NOTES
1. The cable glands used should comply with the requirements of the Code of Practice for increased safety (type ‘e’) installations. They
should maintain at least IP54 protection and have an impact strength of 7Nm
2. The battery must not be removed from the battery tube assembly in a hazardous area.
3. NiCd batteries have a reduced charge acceptance efficiency at temperatures continuously above 30°C, so a reduction in emergency
discharge durations may be experienced.
4. The batteries are supplied discharged and must be charged for 48 hours and discharged three times before reaching full charge capacity.
5. When the luminaire is isolated from the mains supply, one lamp will operate from the integral battery supply at reduced brightness. This
battery has to be isolated before working on the luminaire. This is achieved by removing the ballast housing cover or lamp envelope
assembly. This action will operate a microswitch which isolates the battery.
6. The emergency operation of the luminaire should be tested regularly in accordance with the relevant code of practice, e.g. BS 5266
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE NOTES SPECIFIC TO THIS PRODUCT.
WIRING - The luminaire is pre-wired for maintained (normally on) operation. The Live supply from the mains should be connected to the terminal
marked ‘L’. For switched operation, the link between the L and Ls terminals must be removed. The permanent Live supply is then connected to
the ’L’ terminal and the Switched Live to the ‘Ls’ terminal. On through-wired units these connections are duplicated in the second terminal
chamber.
REPLACING SINGLE PIN LAMPS. - To remove the lamps, lift and rotate the lamp retainer one way and remove a lamp. Then move the other
way to remove the second lamp. Replace using the reverse procedure and if 26mm lamps are being used, fit the collars supplied with the
luminaire to the lamps.
FITTING BI-PIN LAMPS. - The lamp carrier assembly is removed from the lamp envelope by operating the quick release mechanism and with
drawing the assembly. Lamps are inserted by pressing the button on each lampholder and sliding the lamp pins down the lampholder slot until
they engage in their recesses in the contacts. When both lamps have been fitted, the lamp carrier assembly can be re-fitted to the envelope.
Ensure that it is orientated correctly and that the quick release mechanism engages in its slot.
