Do not position the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures will shorten battery life and may void the warranty.

Important Safeguards

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect A.C. power and unplug battery before servicing.
3. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
4. Consult your local building code for approved wiring and installation.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. Do not let power supply cord touch hot surfaces.
7. Do not mount near gas or electric heater.
8. Use caution when servicing batteries. Battery acid can cause burns to skin and eyes. If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes, flush acid with fresh water and contact a physician immediately.
9. Equipment should be mounted in location and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
11. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
12. Fixture must be grounded to avoid potential electric shock.
13. CAUTION: Halogen cycle lamp(s) may be used in this fixture. To avoid shattering, do not operate lamp in excess of rated voltage. Protect lamp against abrasions, scratches and against liquids when lamp is operating. Dispose of lamps with care. Halogen lamps operate at high temperatures. Do not store or place flammable materials near lamps.

Diagrams and Notes

Figure 1 illustrates the emergency lighting unit, its components like the battery and charger board, and shows example models ELT16, ELT16 N, ELT24 N, and ELT36.

CAUTION: Damage to battery will occur if battery is connected to charger board for a prolonged period of time without A.C. power provided.

NOTE: Some models may have the transformer mounted on the housing rather than the charger board (See Figure 5).

Mounting Instructions

Mounting to Wall Using J-Box

1. Remove all knockouts from the rear of the housing. Locate the center 7/8" knockout over the J-box.
2. Install fasteners with a minimum pullout rating of 30 pounds in each keyhole mounting slot and in the lower oblong mounting slot (refer to Figure 1 for slot locations).

Mounting with Surface Conduit

1. Two 7/8" diameter knockouts are located on either side of the housing for conduit connection. Remove keyhole mounting slot knockouts and the lower oblong mounting slot knockout from the rear of the housing, and remove the desired 7/8" knockout from the side of the housing.
2. Install fasteners with a minimum pullout rating of 30 pounds in each keyhole mounting slot and in the lower oblong mounting slot (refer to Figure 1 for slot locations).

Wiring

Refer to Figures 2, 3, 4, or 5 for detailed wiring diagrams.

1. Connect A.C. input as follows:
   • 120V AC: Black and White leads
   • 277V AC: Brown or Orange and White leads

   NOTE: Unused leads must be properly capped with a standard wirenut.

2. Place the battery inside the housing and connect the battery terminals to the terminals on the charger board. For units with double-stick tape, remove the paper backing and secure the battery in place.
3. CAUTION: Be sure the red lead is connected to the positive terminal and the blue lead is connected to the negative terminal.
4. Slide the ground clip onto the slot in the bottom of the 7/8" knockout. Press the flag terminal of the green ground lead onto the flange of the ground clip. Connect the supply ground to the green ground lead using a wirenut. For units mounted with surface conduit, attach the ground clip and ground lead assembly to the upper flanged lip of the housing.

Wiring Diagram Descriptions:

• Figure 2 (ELT 16, ELT 24): Shows connections for AC input (120V or 277V), battery, charger board, lamphead, and optional components like load disconnect, ammeter, and voltmeter. A ground clip is used for grounding.
• Figure 3 (ELT 16N, ELT 24N): Similar to Figure 2, with a polarized battery connector and standard wiring for AC input, battery, charger board, and lamphead.
• Figure 4 (ELT 36): Includes a fuse in the wiring diagram, connecting AC input, battery, charger board, and lamphead, with a ground clip for grounding.
• Figure 5 (ELT 16 Series 13, ELT 24 Series 12): Features a similar wiring setup including an LED switch, AC input, battery, charger board, and lamphead, with grounding via a ground clip.

Inspection and Maintenance

NOTE: Emergency lighting systems should be tested as often as local codes require, or at least monthly, to ascertain that all components are operational.

Normal Operation

When the unit is functioning properly with A.C. power provided, the "READY" light will be on.

To Test

Push the "TEST" button. D.C. lamps should come on and the "READY" light should go out.

Charger Board Replacement

Disconnect wiring as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, or 5. The charger board is secured to a bracket with three nylon standoffs. Depress the standoff locking flanges and lift the charger board from the unit. Install the replacement charger board and reconnect wiring as shown in the relevant figure.

Battery Replacement

Disconnect the battery. Replace the battery only with the manufacturer's recommended replacement. Reconnect the battery as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Component Replacement

Transformer Replacement

Transformer replacement requires drilling out the rivets securing the transformer to the housing. Disconnect transformer wiring and remove from housing. Install the replacement transformer using clips and screws (provided with the replacement transformer) to secure it in place. Reconnect wiring.

Lamp Replacement

Procedures vary by lamp head type:

Standard Lamp Head (Par 36)

1. Remove the threaded retaining cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
2. Disconnect the lamp leads and reconnect an identical replacement lamp.
3. Replace the retaining cap and rotate it clockwise to secure it in place.

Square Sealed Beam Lamp Head (Option SSB)

1. Locate snaps along the seam of the lamp housing. Insert a flat blade screwdriver and twist to release each snap, separating the two halves of the lamp housing.
2. Remove the leads from the lamp and reconnect an identical replacement lamp.
3. Slide the replacement lamp into one half of the lamp housing so that the square stud on the rim of the lamp fits into the notched rib inside the lamp housing.
4. Slide the other half of the lamp housing over the lamp and snap the upper or lower portion of the housing together. Locate the unsnapped portion of the housing onto the pedestal swivel track. Ensure that the lamp leads are routed through the hole in the rear of the lamp housing, then snap the housing completely shut.

Designer Square Lamphead (Option DS)

1. On each side of the lens, there is a tab that snaps into the housing. Using a flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry one tab from the housing to remove the lens.
2. Remove the lamp from its socket and replace it with an identical lamp.
3. Replace the lens, snapping the tabs firmly into the grooves in the side of the lamp housing.

Metal Lamphead (Option MT)

1. Remove the lamp retaining ring.
2. Remove the leads from the lamp and reconnect an identical replacement lamp.
3. Replace the retaining ring.

Important Battery Information

Batteries are perishable items. For best results, it is recommended that the battery receive an initial charge within the first 18 months of the manufacture date of the fixture. The manufacturing date can be found on the outside of the unit packaging and on the UL label as part of the Date Code/Series. Note: The first two digits in the date code represent the year, and the second two digits represent the month. Batteries beyond the initial charge recommendation time frame can often be returned to full capacity by fully charging the battery shortly after installation. If the battery will not fully charge after the initial charge, replacing the battery with a fresh battery will resolve the issue.
