INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing this conversion kit, this leaet will enable you to get the best from it and ensure that installation and operation will be straightforward

and reliable. The unit has been designed to provide exibility in xing and ease of wiring to give trouble free operation

DESCRIPTION

The conversion kit comprises of a charger/inverter unit and battery pack. The unit houses a constant current battery charger, with charge indicator and solid

state inverter circuitry, controlled by a safety cut-out disconnect circuit which prevents deep discharge of the battery pack. Changeover is achieved by a

voltage sensitive internal relay controlled by the permanent mains supply. This ensures prompt adoption of the emergency supply to the lamp during partial

and momentary failure of the general lighting supply. The battery pack consists of nickel cadmium cells suitable for high temperature use. These are charged

continuously by the conversion unit and are therefore kept at full charge in readiness for an emergency situation. Healthy charging is

shown by a green LED indicator.

COMMISSIONING

After installation follow the check list below to ensure that the conversion unit is operating as intended.

1. Connect the batteries to the module. For safety reasons terminate all battery leads to module before connecting push-on terminals to battery.

2. Energise the permanent mains supply (live charger), a click should be heard as the internal relay operates.

3. Check thc green charge LED indicator is lit, this shows that the battery is charging healthily.

4. De-energise the permanent mains supply (live charger). check the lamp lights, it may be weak or go out after a few seconds, this simply indicates the

batteries are in the discharged state. (The batteries are supplied discharged for safety reasons.)

5. Restore the permanent mains supply.

6. Energise the switched mains supply (live switched), check the lamp lights from the mains, it will be much brighter than when tested at (4) and the starter

switch where used will glow and click until the lamp strikes.

7. Leave the unit in this state for about I hour, then repeat test (4), whereupon the lamp should operate at reduced emergency output for about ve

minutes.

Obviously any practical layout will not fully satisfy all of these requirements and therefore a compromise will have to be made bearing in mind that excessive

battery temperatures will shorten its life considerably. Ultimately remote housing‘or the battery pack and possibly the conversion unit as well, will have to be

considered, however cable lengths should be kept to a minimum. THE UNIT IS NOT GENERALLY SUITABLE FOR REMOTE MOUNTING MORE THAN 0.5m

FROM THE LUMINAIRE.

For safety reasons the conversion module should always be mounted either within the luminaire itself or a suitable remote housing

E. M. C. INSTALLATION GUIDE (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

This conversion module is carefully designed to minimise E. M. C. and to enable the unit to be CE marked. Great care must be taken in wiring thc conversion

module to ensure that the E.M. compatibility is preserved to allow the complete converted luminaire to be CE marked. The rules below should be followed

as a guide to obtaining the best performance. Failure to observe these rules or failure to have the completed luminaire tested may contravene the E. M. C.

regulation. If however you arc in any doubt about CE marking the converted luminaire, then it should be sent for a factory conversion.

E. M. C. RULE 1

The incoming mains wires should be kept as short as possible within the luminaire and the conversion module shouLd be positioned accordingly.

E. M. C. RULE 2

The incoming mains and the lamp output wiring should be kept as far apart as possible.

E. M. C. RULE 3

Consult the mains control gear data for guidance regarding selection of the emergency lamp and installation wiring.

INSTRUCTIONS

Careful preparation will ensure a quick and ecient conversion. Study the internal arrangement of the luminaire, the objectives in order of priority are:

1. To keep the battery pack as far away as possible from any sources of heat, ie. the mains chokes, etc.

2. To keep the conversion unit away from any sources of heat.

3. To minimise changes in wiring, and the internal layout of the existing mains circuitry components.

Ratings Section

See conversion module battery for ratings

Conversion Of Single Lamp Switch Circuits

Circuit before modication comprising: Single mains input (Live, Neutral, Earth). Single iron cored mains choke, single lamp, glow type or electronic starter

switch with two terminals and power factor correction capacitor (PFC) if tted.

Conversion Procedure

Extend or shorten conductors as necessary, using only single conductor 90C heat resistant wire. (Use only ONE wire in each terminal.) Refer to diagrams

1 and 2.

1. Ensure all power is OFF and batteries are disconnected

2. Cut conductor (A) from choke to lamp. - Put choke end into terminal 6 - Put lamp end into terminal 3

3. Cut conductor (B) from lamp to starter. - Put starter end into terminal 8 - Put lamp end into terminal 1

4. Connect neutral supply to terminal 'N'

5. Connect the Permanent Live to terminal Ph

6. IMPORTANT MCT CASE MUST BE EARTHED. Secure the Flange of the MCT case to Earthed metalwork using the screws and Nuts provided.

General Conversion Notes

Before conversions start, a trial run on the bench often helps not only to become familiar with the conversion procedure, but also to verify that the

luminaire close in fact work property before any changes are made.
