Spectron Electronics
All models ordered with the Spectron® option provide:
❑ Visual indication of AC power status
❑ Visual Indication of all self-diagnostic test cycles
❑ Visual indication of unit malfunctions including:
• Battery fault
• Charger fault
• Transfer fault
• Lamp fault
❑ User initiated test cycles of 1, 5, 30 or 60 minutes
❑ Temperature compensated charger for longer battery life
❑ 15 minute retransfer delay
LED Indicators
Two Status LED indicators, one red and one green are provided
on the control panel of all models equipped with the Spectron
option
Red Service Alert LED
Under normal operating
conditions, the Service
Alert LED indicator will
remain off. In the event the
Spectron Controller detects
a malfunction, the Service Alert LED will blink at a 1 Hz.
rate based on the following table:
Red Status LED Code
One blink ON/pause
Two blinks ON/pause
Three blinks ON/pause
Four blinks ON/pause
Five blinks ON/pause
Green Operating Status LED
The green Operating Status
LED serves as both an AC
power and a self-test
indicator. During normal
operation, the Operating
Status LED will be illuminated indicating the presence of
AC power. During all automatic or manual self-test cycles,
the Operating Status LED will blink at a 1 Hz. rate.
Manual Tests
Using the unit test switch, users can initiate different duration test
cycles based on the following table:
Initiating Action
Press test switch once
Press test switch twice
Press test switch 3 times
Press test switch 4 times
NOTE: Pressing test switch at any time after a test cycle has begun
cancels remainder of test and returns unit to normal operation.

Lamp Sensing Adjustment Procedure
Procedure 1 - LZ15I, LZB15I Models Only
LZ15I and LZB15I Spectron models are shipped from the factory
with a load sensing jumper provided as shown in position "A"
of the illustration below. In this position, the diagnostic circuitry
can sense a failure in any of the unit's three connected lamps
(2 integral and 1 remote).
IMPORTANT
If the third (remote) lighting head is not to be connected (for the
purpose of extended run time or other reasons), the load sensing
jumper must be reinstalled as shown in Position "B" below to
prevent a false lamp failure indication.

(3 Lamp Position)
Procedure 2 - All Other Remote Capacity
Models
Remote capacity models provide sufficient battery power to
operate the unit's two integral lighting heads plus one or more
remote lighting fixtures. In order for the electronics module to
detect a lamp failure in any of the connected fixtures, the lamp
sensing circuit must be adjusted in the following manner:
NOTE: Models without remote fixture capacity are supplied
with the lamp sensing circuit factory set and do not require
this procedure.
1. Depending on the total amount of connected load, one of
four different "RANGE" switch settings will need to be selected
(See Fig. 1). Calculate the total connected wattage load and
refer to the RANGE Switch Selector Chart below to determine
the appropriate setting.
IMPORTANT: In calculating total connected wattage load,
be sure to include the unit's two integral lighting heads.
