Operating Instructions

The HOFTRONIC LED Salus Emergency Light operates automatically to provide illumination during power failures.

• Normal Operation: When connected to a continuous power supply, the light's battery will charge. The indicator light (a 3-watt green LED) will be illuminated, signifying that the unit is receiving power and the battery is charging or fully charged.
• Emergency Mode: In the event of a power outage, the light will automatically switch to battery power and illuminate the exit sign. The LiFePO4 battery provides up to 3 hours of continuous light.
• Recharging: After an emergency discharge, the battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully recharge.
• Visibility: The 3W LED provides 160 lumens of daylight white light (6500K), ensuring clear visibility up to 22 meters, making it effective for stairwells, corridors, and emergency exits.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your emergency light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Check: It is recommended to perform a monthly test of the emergency light by temporarily cutting power to the circuit to ensure the battery-powered emergency function activates. The light should remain illuminated for the specified duration (up to 3 hours).
• Battery Replacement: The LiFePO4 battery is exchangeable. If the light does not hold a charge or fails to illuminate for the full 3 hours during a power outage, the battery may need replacement. Disconnect power before attempting battery replacement. Use only genuine HOFTRONIC replacement batteries.
