6. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and connected to AC power, the emergency driver will begin charging its internal battery. The pilot light on the test switch will illuminate to indicate normal operation and charging status.

Normal Operation: When AC power is present, the LED fixture operates normally, and the emergency driver's battery charges.
Emergency Mode: In the event of an AC power failure, the emergency driver automatically switches the connected LED fixture to emergency mode, providing illumination for over 90 minutes.
Test Switch: Press the test switch to simulate an AC power failure and verify the emergency function. The pilot light indicates the charging status (e.g., green for charged, red for charging/fault).
Rest Mode: To enter rest mode, press and hold the test switch for more than 3 seconds while in emergency mode. This reduces battery discharge during extended storage.

Various applications of the emergency LED driver including LED Panel Light, LED High Bay Light, LED Troffer Light, and LED Wrap Light.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your emergency driver.

Initial Charge: Allow the unit to charge for a minimum of 24 hours (36 hours for 25W and 32W models) before the first emergency test to ensure full battery capacity.
Monthly Testing: Conduct a monthly 30-second test using the test switch to ensure the emergency function is operational.
Annual Testing: Perform an annual 90-minute discharge test. Disconnect AC power to the unit and verify that the fixture remains illuminated for the full 90 minutes.
Cleaning: Keep the unit clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Battery Replacement: The internal battery is designed for long life. If the unit fails to provide 90 minutes of emergency illumination after a full charge, the battery may need replacement. Contact qualified personnel for service.
