How To Operate the EL100
The EL100 unit can be operated in five different modes. NOTE:
After installation, the battery reaches maximum charge in about
one week.
• Night Light ON — Press the lens once when the night light is
OFF and the night light will come ON at 25% of full bright-
ness. In this mode the night light is powered by the building
current.
• Night Light OFF — Press the lens once when the night light is
ON and the night light will power OFF.
• Power Failure Light ON — When building current is discon-
nected (e.g., during a power failure), the power failure light
will automatically come ON at 100% of full brightness and
remain lit until the battery is discharged (4 hours at a full
charge). NOTE: As the battery runs out of power, the unit will
begin to flash and will continue to do so until all power is
drained from the battery or power is restored.
• Power Failure Light OFF — When the light is ON (and the
unit is operating on battery power), press and hold the lens
for 5 or more seconds to manually turn it OFF. NOTE: You can
press and hold the lens again for 5 or more seconds to turn
the power failure light back ON.
• Battery Test — After battery has had a minimum of 1 week
to charge, press and hold the lens for 5 seconds to switch
the unit from building current to battery power, which turns
ON the light at the 100% brightness level. If the light doesn't
come on, the battery is dead or damaged. Releasing the lens
will switch the unit back into normal operation.
