BEGA 51233 Ceiling and Wall Luminaire

Product Description

The BEGA 51233 is a ceiling and wall luminaire featuring integrated emergency lighting capabilities, compliant with DIN EN 60598-2-22 and DIN VDE 0108-100. It includes an integral accumulator for 3 hours of emergency operation in case of mains failure. The luminaire is constructed with a metal housing, finished in white, and features a hand-blown opal glass with a satin matt finish secured by a bayonet closure.

Key features include:

• Two mounting holes with a diameter of 5.5 mm and a spacing of 230 mm.
• Two cable entries for through-wiring, accommodating mains cables up to 10.5 mm in diameter (max. 4 x 1.5 mm²).
• A connection terminal for 2.5 mm² conductors.
• An earth conductor connection.
• An integrated emergency lighting module with a self-test facility.
• An LED power supply unit operating at 220-240 V~50/60 Hz.
• Safety Class I classification.
• Impact strength rating of IK06 (protection against mechanical impacts < 1 joule).
• CE Conformity Mark.
• The product contains light sources of energy efficiency classes D and E.

Application and Safety

This luminaire is designed for use in safety lighting facilities, providing illumination during power outages. Installation and operation must strictly adhere to national safety regulations.

Installation and Commissioning: This work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or installation. Any subsequent modifications to the luminaire will render the modifier as the manufacturer.

Overvoltage Protection: The electronic components within the luminaire are protected against overvoltage according to DIN EN 61547. For enhanced protection against transients, separate overvoltage protection components are recommended and can be found on the BEGA website (www.bega.com).

LED Module Variants:

In emergency lighting mode, the luminaire achieves a luminous flux of 294 lm.

Installation and Operation

Emergency Light Mode Labeling: The luminaire is marked with a label indicating its emergency light mode. An identical label, along with the voltage and frequency label (220-240 V~50/60 Hz), must be affixed visibly to the exterior of the luminaire. For continuous mode operation, the '0' on these labels should be covered with the provided '1' stickers.

Notice Prior to Installation: The accumulator is supplied partially charged. To prevent premature discharge by the charging unit, the plug connector to the accumulator is disconnected. This plug must be reconnected before the luminaire is put into operation.

Installation Steps:

• LEDs are high-quality electronic components; avoid touching the light output surface directly during installation or relamping.
• Route the mains supply cable through the cable entry into the luminaire housing.
• Fix the luminaire housing securely onto the mounting surface using the provided or suitable fixing material, ensuring enclosed gaskets are used.
• Dismantle the mains supply cable by approximately 60 mm.
• Slide silicone sleeves over the connection wires.
• Establish the earth conductor connection and complete the electrical connection.
• Crucially, ensure that wires L and L' are fed from the same phase (in-phase connection).
• If the luminaire is operated with an external switch (switched maintained light), connect the switch wire to terminal L' and remove the factory-set jumper between L and L'.
• If the luminaire is operated in standby mode, the factory-set jumper between L and L' must also be removed.

Wiring Configurations:

• Continuous Mode (Dauerschaltung): Standard wiring.
• Standby Mode (Bereitschaftsschaltung): Requires removal of the factory jumper.
• Switched Maintained Light (Geschaltetes Dauerlicht): Requires removal of the factory jumper and connection of the switch wire to terminal L'.

Glass Attachment: Insert the enclosed light-conducting acrylic glass rod into the plug-in device located above the monitoring LED. Position the glass onto the luminaire housing, aligning the housing cams with the notches in the glass edge. Secure the glass by turning it clockwise; this ensures a safe and vibration-resistant hold. To remove the glass, turn it counter-clockwise.

Startup Procedure: Upon initial connection of the mains supply, the emergency lighting module will begin charging the accumulator for 20 hours (initial charge). Following this, the module performs a startup procedure test for the full operating duration. A 20-hour recharge cycle also occurs when a new battery is connected or the module exits "rest mode". The automatic startup procedure test is performed only after a battery is replaced and fully charged (after 20 hours). The system sets the initial test day and time to ensure random testing of units. To prevent the actual start time from being influenced by earlier building phases, the starting time is set only after 5 days of continuous permanent voltage to the module.

Status Indication and Maintenance

Status Indication: The system status is indicated by a bi-color LED:

Testing: The luminaire features a self-test function compliant with statutory requirements. This test runs weekly (function test) for 5 seconds, controlled by a microprocessor. The initiation, date, and time of this test are set during the luminaire's commissioning. An annual complete operating duration test verifies battery performance.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean the luminaire regularly with solvent-free cleaning agents. A defective glass must be replaced.

LED Module Replacement: The designation of the LED module is noted on a label within the luminaire. BEGA replacement modules match the original light color and output. Replacement can be performed by qualified persons using standard tools.

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Unscrew the glass from the luminaire housing by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Refer to the specific installation instructions for the LED module.
4. Secure the glass by turning it clockwise into the luminaire housing.
5. A defective glass must be replaced.
