CONSTRUCTION SITES
Continuously switching of 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 the life of the
battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life for fluorescent fittings. Thomas & Betts 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/NZS2293.2, subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge
cycles is regarded as an abuse of the fittings.

GREETINGS
Congratulations on choosing to use this Thomas & Betts product covered by our unique Through-Life Support system. This document is
designed to assist you during the installation of this product; for the safety of yourself and others Thomas & Betts recommends
that you read this document thoroughly before commencing installation. The fittings are designed for easy
installation. They are advanced pieces of electronic equipment which, when treated with care and maintained through regular and
appropriate servicing, will perform reliably for many years to come.
SAFETY WARNING
In Australia and New Zealand, only licensed electricians are permitted by law to work with 240 Volt electrical installations.
Do not attempt to install or connect this product unless you are a licensed electrician.
Turn off and isolate the electrical supply before connecting this fitting to the building wires.
Do not touch the terminals of the terminal block when the light fitting is energised.
The only user-serviceable parts are fluorescent or halogen lamp/s. LED light sources are not user-servicable.
Do not tamper with the fitting or the warranty will be void.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant building and safety codes, (ie: AS3000, AS/NZS2293).
Refer to the applicable standards for data and mains cabling installation procedures and requirements.
Important Note: This product is designed for indoor use only.
NEXUS LX (DATA CABLE SYSTEM)
The Nexus range of emergency light fitting are designed to be connected together into a special communication network over a Level
4 (or higher) high speed, single twisted pair data cable. The Nexus LX User & Technical Guide describes all you need to know to
successfully install a Nexus project. Ask for it from your supervisor, from your employer or from your nearest Thomas & Betts product
supplier. The network cabling of the building must be installed as per the procedure detailed in the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide. No
mains or mains carrying cables are to be connected to the data terminals or cables.
NEXUS RF (WIRELESS SYSTEM)
The Nexus RF range of light fittings are designed to communicate via a proprietary RF network, however the electrical installation of the
fittings is identical to that of a standard non-monitored fitting.
