Install LED emergency lighting in 2 steps

LED emergency lights are used in a building to indicate escape routes. When the power goes out the emergency lighting will stay on for 3 hours because it is equipped with a battery. It is a legal requirement that the LED emergency lights stay on for 1 hour after an emergency.

LED emergency lighting has 2 positions; continuously burning and maintained. Maintained means that the lighting does not burn under normal circumstances and is activated in the event of a power failure, this position may never be used for escape routes. This stand may be used in public spaces larger than 60 m2, it then serves as anti-panic lighting. Continuous burning means that the emergency lighting is always on, this position is used the most. Escape route indications with pictograms must always be clearly visible in accordance with legal regulations and must burn when people are present. The LED emergency lighting is set to continuous light as standard, as this is required for most situations. In this article, we are going to easily assemble LED emergency lighting.

Step 1 Install LED emergency lighting: prepare for assembly

The LED emergency lighting comes with 4 icons, choose the right icon for the situation. See the image below for the supplied icons. Immerse the pictogram that will be used in water with mild soap, this way the pictogram can be easily and neatly stuck to the panel. Wipe the panel afterward with a dry cloth.

It is now necessary to drill the hole for the cable gland, there are symbols on the sides, bottom and back to guide the cable through. This hole must be drilled with a 16 mm drill.

The supplied cable gland can now be mounted, the cable gland makes the LED emergency lighting waterproof and thus maintains the IP65 standard. Ensure that the cables are sufficiently stripped so that they can easily be slid into the connectors.

Now connect the cables correctly, the printed circuit board states how the cables must be connected. The blue arrow indicates the bridge that allows the steady LED emergency light in the position. The maintained position can be switched on by removing this bridge.

Step 2 Install LED emergency lighting: Replace old emergency lighting

It is now important that the old lighting is removed and the new LED emergency lighting is mounted. Make sure there is no more power on the connection. In this case, the suspension points used by the old emergency lighting are suitable for the LED emergency lighting. Drill the holes where symbols are on the fixture and mount the LED emergency lights.

Testing the LED emergency lighting

The LED emergency lighting is equipped with a test system, with which the emergency system with the associated battery can be tested. When the test button is pressed, the lighting should stay on. The green indication LED that is visible on the front also indicates that the system is functioning properly.
