Commercial Electric 1.2-Watt LED Emergency Remote Head

Quick guide from the manual

This emergency remote head is designed for indoor use. Before beginning, ensure you have all required tools: Phillips and flat screwdrivers, wire strippers, wire cutters, a ladder, safety glasses, and a power drill with a 3/16-inch drill bit. Always consult with your local fire marshal or code enforcement office regarding municipal color guidelines before installation.

Installation

Preparing the emergency head: Set the rubber gasket (EE) into the bracket (G), then insert the bracket into the canopy (H). Secure using the washer (FF) and hex nut (GG).

Mounting: Use the provided mounting screws (CC) and wall anchors (BB) to attach the unit to the wall. The maximum mounting height is 9.75 ft (2.97 m).

Wiring: Connect the wires using the provided wire nuts (AA). For 3.6-9.6V applications, connect the brown wire to the positive (+) terminal and the gray wire to the negative (-) terminal.

Adjustments: Use Screw 1 to position the head left and right. Use Screw 2 to position the head up and down.

Maintenance and Testing

National Electric Code (NEC) and NFPA life safety code regulations require routine testing. With AC power applied, the EXIT sign and A/C Power LED indicator should illuminate. Pressing the TEST button (I) should turn off the LED indicator, while the EXIT sign remains illuminated and the emergency heads turn on.

Battery Testing: Test the battery once per month. Perform a full 90-minute test every 12 months by disconnecting the main power supply; the unit should remain illuminated for at least 90 minutes.

Battery Replacement

The fixture uses a Ni-Cd Rechargeable AA1000 mAh 9.6 V battery. To replace it:

1. Bend the battery catches away from the battery and remove it from the housing.
2. Disconnect the battery leads from the board terminal.
3. Connect the new battery to the board terminal.
4. Place the new battery in the housing and ensure it is seated behind the battery catches.

Troubleshooting

If the LED charge indicator does not illuminate, ensure the AC power supply is on, the unit is wired correctly, and the battery is connected. If the emergency heads do not illuminate, ensure the battery is connected and properly charged. If the battery is discharged, allow the unit to charge for 24 hours before re-testing.
