3. Operating Instructions
The Sure-Lites XR6C-LED emergency light operates automatically and includes a test function.
3.1 Automatic Operation:
When AC power is present, the unit's battery charger maintains the NiCAD battery at full capacity. In the event of an AC power failure, the emergency light will automatically switch to battery power, illuminating the LED lamp heads for a minimum of 90 minutes.
3.2 Manual Test:
A test button is typically located on the side or bottom of the fixture. Press and hold this button to simulate a power failure. The LED lamp heads should illuminate. Release the button, and the lights should turn off, indicating the unit is functioning correctly and the battery is charging.
3.3 Adjusting Lamp Heads:
The two LED lamp heads are adjustable. Gently pivot and rotate each head to direct the light output to the desired egress path or area. Ensure the heads are securely positioned after adjustment.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the reliable operation of your emergency light.
4.1 Monthly Testing:
- Perform a 30-second functional test by pressing the test button. Ensure both LED heads illuminate.
- Verify that the charging indicator light (if present) is on when AC power is restored.
4.2 Annual Testing:
- Disconnect AC power to the unit for a full 90-minute discharge test.
- Ensure the LED heads remain illuminated for the entire 90-minute duration.
- Reconnect AC power and verify the charging indicator light is on.
4.3 Cleaning:
Clean the exterior of the fixture and lamp heads periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4.4 Battery Replacement:
The NiCAD battery has a typical lifespan. If the unit fails to maintain a 90-minute discharge during annual testing, the battery may need replacement. Contact qualified service personnel for battery replacement.
