Installation instructions
Note: The circuit supplying mains power to the fitting must not be energised until installation of
the fitting is completed.
1. The base of the fitting is installed first on the ceiling (refer figure 1a), the mounting and cable entry
hole dimensions shown in figure 1b can be used as a template, for the purpose of marking/drilling.
Once the base is installed on the ceiling, connect the incoming unswitched active, neutral and earth
to terminal marked USA, N and E respectively. Connect the DALI control wires to the DALI terminal
block.

2. Once the base is secured to the ceiling, hold the diffuser assembly in your hand and connect the
diffuser wire loom polarised plug to the mother board (refer figure 2), the white wires on the plug
should be towards the centre of the fitting. Once the plug is connected, lay the wire loom carefully
inside the base. Place one end of the diffuser in the diffuser holding latch hole (refer figure 2) and
then push up the other side of the diffuser, the diffuser clicks and locks in place. Once the diffuser is
locked in place, the cover is easily fixed to the base via 2 screws. Hold the cover in your hand and bring
up to the base, pass diffuser through the cut out; make sure the side rectangular cut out on the cover
for the LED and test switch lines up with LED and test switch on the base. Once the holes on both
sides of the base and cover line up, secure with the screws provided.

3. Install the pictograph inserts by sliding into the diffuser. The pictograph inserts can be installed in
the diffuser prior to installing the diffuser assembly in the fitting. Fitting is supplied standard with all
pictograph insert options for single and double sided, as a complete one box solution to meet any
site/project needs.

4. The circuit supplying mains power to the fitting can now be energised.
5. Check the operation of the fitting to ensure that the installation was successful. When powered up,
allow a few minutes to give the battery a small charge, then press the manual test button located on
the fitting. Hold the test button in for a few seconds and observe the operation of the lamp switching
from mains to the emergency mode. If the lamp on emergency mode works momentarily, that's okay.
Try again in a few more minutes because if the battery was completely discharged, it may take a little
time to charge up enough to operate even momentarily. After this time, press the test button again
and if the lamp does not work at all, check the supply, the connections and the troubleshooting guide
at the end of this document.
Important: 24 hours is required to allow the fitting battery to reach full capacity, ie: prior to a
discharge test. As the installer, it is your responsibility to conduct the initial discharge testing of
the installed fitting. Refer to AS/NZS 2293.
Removal instructions
1. To remove/uninstall fitting from the ceiling,
the steps to be followed are the reversal of
installation process. Turn off mains power to
fitting, the fitting will automatically switch
onto emergency mode as the mains power
has been turned off. It will stay on in the
emergency mode until such time as the
battery cut-off threshold is reached.
2. Remove cover by undoing the 2 cover screws
turning anti-clockwise one by one using
suitable screwdriver, make sure to hold cover
with one hand while undoing the last screw.
Once the screws are undone, remove the cover
gently. The next step is to remove the diffuser
assembly.
3. To remove diffuser assembly, hold the diffuser
holding latch with thumb and fingers on one
end and push gently to the opposite end to
remove diffuser from the holding latch. Once
diffuser is removed from the latch, disconnect/
remove wire loom plug from the mother board.
Once the diffuser assembly is removed,
Testing precautions
Once the fitting is permanently connected to the
mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as
required in AS/NZS 2293.2 must be carried out.
You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to
fully charge prior to conducting this test,
presently (at the time of writing), the standard
requires that fittings operate in emergency mode
for a period not less than 2 hours for their
commissioning test and for not less than 90
minutes thereafter (it is required that 6 monthly
discharge tests be carried out). You will need to
keep the records for the commissioning test and
enter them into the building emergency services
logbook or via other recording methods as
allowed by AS/NZS 2293.2.
disconnect the battery pack plug on the
mother board. The next step is to remove base
of the installed fitting.
4. Undo the mains wire connections ie:
unswitched active, neutral and earth cable (and
data cable connection where applies) from the
terminal block using a suitably sized
screwdriver. Unscrew the mounting screws
turning anti-clockwise one by one using
suitable screwdriver, and make sure to hold
base with one hand while undoing the last
screw. Once the mounting screws are undone,
the base can be pulled down gently from the
ceiling.
5. When the fitting is reconnected to the mains
supply, it will need time to recharge its battery
before it will be capable of a full length
discharge again. The ability of the fitting to
operate on emergency is determined by the
age, charge level, operating temperature
conditions and environmental circumstances
of the battery in the fitting.
Construction sites
Continuously switching off the mains power
supply that is connected to emergency light
fittings during the construction phase of an
installation will cause these fittings to discharge
and charge their batteries many times over a
short period; this can shorten life of the battery.
ABB does not recommend such practices and
may not honour the warranty on batteries when
they are subjected to such harsh operating
conditions. Emergency light fittings are designed
to be discharge tested once every 6 months as
per AS/NZS 2293.2, subjecting the product to
repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded
as an abuse of the fittings.
