Installation: PHL-EL3 and PHL-EL3-80
3 Hour EM Converter for 6-55V and 6-80V LED Loads
The PHL-EL3 is the popular choice for converting most
standard LED luminaires and arrays containing from 2 to 20
LEDs in series, whilst the PHL-EL3-80 extends the range by
converting from 2 to 30 LEDs in series.
Both products are designed to be installed by breaking into
the low voltage connection between the mains LED Driver
and the LEDs, allowing the LEDs to be operated as normal
under mains healthy conditions and operated at reduced
light output in an emergency.
The modules automatically adjust the output LED current to
provide the best match between the battery and the load,
providing maximum illumination whilst ensuring full battery
duration.
The modules come complete with 8 way and 4 way
terminal blocks. The eight way block allows connection of
unswitched 240V supply, irreversible battery connector,
charge indicator LED and additional relay terminals to
isolate the supply to the associated mains LED driver,
whilst the four way block allows connection of two leads
in from the maintaining LED driver and two out to the LEDs
themselves.
The current (in mA) from the PHL-EL3 and PHL-EL3-80
emergency modules will depend on the voltage of the
connected LEDs, which in turn will depend on the number
of LEDs. Standard outputs for various numbers of white
LEDs are as follows:

The ballast lumen factor (BLF) can be calculated by dividing
the current in emergency (see page 4) by the normal
running current. E.g. for 3 LEDs normally running at 700mA
the BLF with the PHL-EL3 will be 250mA ÷ 700mA = 36%.
Alternatively the ballast lumen factor in emergency can
be approximated by dividing the number of cells by the
luminaire wattage. E.g. for a 20W LED luminaire with the
PHL-EL3 the BLF will be 3 ÷ 20 = 15%. On most current
luminaires this gives a slightly lower answer than would be
measured, which errs on the side of safety. Typical values

Installation: PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80
3 Hour EM DALI Converter for 6-55V and 6-80V LED Loads
The Philips range of DALI LED emergency lighting modules
have complete DALI functionality (to IEC 62386-202: Self
Contained Emergency Lighting) and will also default to selftest operation if not connected to a DALI network. The units
are designed to convert a wide range of LED types with
two versions, the PHL-EL3-D for converting most standard
LED luminaires and arrays containing from 2 to 20 LEDs
in series, whilst the PHL-EL3-D80 extends the range by
converting from 6 to 30 LEDs in series.
The current (in mA) from the PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80
will depend on the voltage of the connected LEDs, which in
turn will depend on the number of LEDs. Standard outputs

DALI Operation
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 are pre-programmed
with a standard test program consisting of 3 hour
commissioning test, weekly thirty second functional tests,
and annual 3 hour duration tests. These tests will check the
lamp and battery operation and test results will be reported
back via the indicator Led and the DALI network where
available. When connected to the DALI system it will be
possible to schedule and amend these tests as required.
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 are non-maintained
DALI devices (they operate the lamp only in emergency
mode) and will respond to normal DALI commands
via the Da Da connections. These connections are not
polarity conscious.

Charge Indicator LED Indication
The bi-colour charge indicator LED will show the
module operational mode as follows.
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 are designed for a bicolour
charge indicator LED, which is a red and green LED connected
back to back. Alternatively two high brightness LEDs can be
used instead. The Red terminal is the positive of the Red LED
and the white terminal the positive of the Green LED.
Commissioning Test
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 will perform a three
hour duration commissioning test 30 hours after the mains
and battery are both connected, as long as the mains has
been uninterrupted for 24 hours. This test will check LED
lamp operation and battery capacity. The results of this
test will be signalled via the DALI network and the charge
indicator LED.
Function Test
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 will perform a thirty
second functional test every week. This test will check LED
lamp operation. The results of this test will be signalled via
the DALI network and the charge indicator LED. A test can
also be started manually at any time via the DALI network. If
the module is not in normal operation, it will place the test
into a state of pending until it is possible for the test to start.
Duration Test
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 will perform three hour
duration annually. This test will check LED lamp operation
and battery capacity. The results of this test will be signalled
via the DALI network and the charge indicator LED. A test
can also be started manually at any time via the DALI
network. If the battery is not fully charged or the module is
not in normal operation, the PHL-EL3-D/ PHL-EL3-D80 will
place the test into a state of pending until it is possible for
the test to start.
Stop Test
If the module receives the stop test command then it will
return to normal operation from a duration or functional
test and remove any test from a state of pending.
Prolong Time
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 can be programmed to
remain in emergency for a set time once the mains supply has
been restored. This can act as a run on timer whilst discharge
lighting etc. is warming up. The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80
are sent out with a default value of 0 (no Prolong).

10
Rest Mode
If the module receives a Rest command when in the
emergency state then the lamp will be turned off and the
PHL-EL3-D/ PHL-EL3-D80 goes into rest mode.
Inhibit
If the module receives the inhibit command then it will not
go into emergency mode during the fifteen minute inhibit
period. In the event of a mains failure during this period the
PHL-EL3-D/ PHL-EL3-D80 goes into Rest Mode.
Relight/Reset Inhibit (Stop Inhibit)
If the module receives the re-light command when in rest
mode then it will return to emergency mode.
System Reset
The PHL-EL3-D and PHL-EL3-D80 can be reset via
Command 32 (RESET) over the DALI network and
function test and duration test results can be reset via
independent reset commands and are not reset by
Command 32. The lamp timers are also reset via an
independent reset command and not by Command 32.
Fault Resolution
If the unit indicates an LED lamp fault then the LED lamp
will need investigation/replacement. When the lamp is
connected and operating correctly, it is possible to clear the
lamp fault in two ways. Firstly a function test can be triggered
via the DALI network, and secondly, if the un-switched
mains is failed for 30s this will also clear the lamp fault.
If the unit indicates a battery fault then the battery
should be investigated/ replaced. If the battery had
become disconnected the fault should clear when the
battery is reconnected. If the battery fault is because
the PHL-EL3-D/ PHL-EL3-D80 could not complete a full
duration test the battery will need replacing. Replacing
the battery will automatically reset the battery charge
stat to 0%, and re-initialise the test commissioning test,
it however will not clear the battery fault until a full and
successful duration test has been completed.
Testing/Commissioning
Ensure the load is connected.
• Connect the battery.
• Switch on the unswitched supply - Check the charge
LED illuminates.
• Switch on the maintained supply - Check the LED
illuminates as normal.
• Switch off the maintained supply.
• Switch off the unswitched supply - Check the charge
LED extinguishes and the load LED illuminates at a
reduced output.
• Enter the commissioning date on the battery pack.

Installation: PHL-EL3-4
3 Hour EM Converter for 50-250V LED Loads
The PHL-EL3-4 will convert any LED panels in the range 50250V DC and is suitable for use with some mains rated LED
lamps e.g. T8 LED tubes and GU10 types. The PHL-EL3-4 will
run these lamps at DC in emergency so the lamp must be
suitable for low power DC operation. Check with Philips that
the mains rated lamp chosen is suitable for conversion with
the PHL-EL3-4.
The module comes complete with 8 way and 4 way terminal
blocks. The eight way block allows connection of unswitched
240V supply, irreversible battery connector, charge indicator
LED and additional relay terminals to isolate the supply to
the associated mains LED driver, whilst the four way block
allows connection of two leads in from the maintaining LED
driver and two out to the LEDs themselves.
The PHL-EL3-4 is designed to be installed either by breaking
into the constant current connection between the mains LED
Driver and the LEDs or by breaking into the 240V supply to a
suitable mains rated lamp. The PHL-EL3-4 allows the LEDs
to be operated as normal under mains healthy conditions
and operated at reduced light output in an emergency.
The current (in mA) from the PHL-EL3-4 emergency
converter will depend on the voltage of the connected LEDs,
which in turn will depend on the number of LEDs.
The PHL-EL3-4 automatically adjusts the output LED
voltage and current to provide the best match between the
battery and the load, providing maximum illumination whilst
ensuring full battery duration.
Important
It is recommended that the module is installed by a
competent person ensuring the installation complies with
the necessary standards. Philips accepts no responsibility
for injury, damage or loss, which may arise as a result of
incorrect installation, operation or maintenance.
The conversion requires an unswitched supply for charging the
battery and a switched supply for a maintained conversion.

Installation: PHF-EL3-L6
3 Hour Slimline EM Inverter Multi Watt
The PHF-EL3-L6 Emergency Lighting Conversion module is
equipped with a high quality mains control circuit, inverter
circuit, 4 pole changeover relay and an additional 1 pole relay.
This single pole relay allows the incorporation of the modules
with all electronic (HF) ballasts and switch-start control gear
and 4 pin lamps to provide maintained emergency lighting.
The 4 pole relay enables the emergency lamp to be run from
the mains gear by providing a straight through connection at
the eight way module terminal block when the unswitched
supply is healthy. The 1 pole relay has a time delay which
prevents the HF ballasts from ‘shutting down’ by breaking
the switched supply to the ballast. One side of the lamp
cathodes are connected to terminals 1&2, and the other side
to terminals 3&4. The mains ballast connections are made
to terminals 5-8, (see typical wiring diagrams for details on
p 26). Under mains healthy input, terminal 8 links to 1, 7 to 2,
6 to 3 and 5 to 4, then upon unswitched mains failure, the
inverter circuit powers the lamp from the battery. Use of a
LED indicator will show battery charge healthy, and it also is
used to indicate an emergency lamp/fitting.
A low line, three hour duration emergency lighting
conversion module with a single ended inverter, specifically
designed to fit in low line and T5 Luminaire profiles and to
ensure complete performance compatibility with all types
of fluorescent 4 pin lamps and their associated control gear.
The module employs cathode pre heating and continuous
heating to optimise lamp performance. The specified circuit
and operation are selected at the time of installation by the
method of wiring and connection.

Conversion Wiring for Fittings with HF Ballast
When modifying a mains luminaire to accept an emergency
conversion which is fitted with one or more electronic
ballasts, it will usually be necessary to rearrange the
wiring and component layout of the fitting to obtain the
best electromagnetic performance whilst still paying due
attention to thermal and safety criteria. Electronic ballasts
are distinct from conventional ones in that the ballasts work
at a higher frequency. The mains supply to the Electronic
ballast is at a low frequency (LF), typically 50 Hz, and the
output leads from the electronic ballast to the lamp are at
a high frequency (HF), typically 10-100 kHz. The inverter
output leads (terminals 1-4) also run at high frequency when
the module is in an emergency situation, therefore the wires
and looms carrying the LF connections should be kept away
from the HF ones to improve the EMC. Conversion should
be carried out taking into account the following points:
1.If possible the luminaire should be converted
integrally, but if this is not possible a remote
conversion can be used, keeping the interconnecting
looms kept as short as possible and the LF
connections separate from the HF ones.
• Do not use a common loom for the high frequency
(HF) connections and the normal 240V supply (LF).
• Ensure that the Lin/Lout connection pair (LF) are
routed away from the high frequency connections.
Keep the looms segregated, do not cable tie the
looms together.
• For Philips standard remote looms the colour code is
as follows: 1 White; 2 Violet; 3 Grey; 4 Blue; 5 Yellow;
6 Red; 7 Black; 8 Pink; Lin Brown; Lout Orange.
2.Ensure any fixings are carried out in a manner
complementary to the standard luminaire design,
and that the cables used have the same specification
(minimum 105°C rated PVC)
3.Segregate the mains (LF) wiring, and inverter output
[terminals 1-4] (HF) wiring, by separately routing
the cables in order to minimise electromagnetic
interference between the two.
• Within the fitting this can easily be done by routing
the HF connections one side of the Lighting
components (ballast, emergency module etc.) and
the LF connections the other side.
• It will usually be acceptable to run the LF and HF
connections in close proximity for a short distance if
this cannot be avoided.
4.For HF Ballasts keep the hot wires from the ballast
as short as possible. (If the hot wires are not already
marked, these wires will usually be the ones that are
short already.)
• To keep these wires short it will usually be
preferable to position the emergency module so
as the module 8 way terminal block is in close
proximity to the emergency lampholder, or, with
a linear lamp, in close proximity to one of the
emergency lamp holders.
• If a remote conversion is to be used then place
the remote 10 way terminal block (8 inverter
connections plus 2 LED connections) in close
proximity to the emergency lampholder. The loom
connections to this block should be kept as short as
possible both inside and outside the fitting.
• The electronic ballast to be used with the emergency
lamp should be placed so as the lamp connection
terminals are near to the 8 (or 10) way terminal
block. With this layout the ‘hot’ wires can be routed
directly to the module terminals 7 & 8, and then from
terminals 1 & 2 to the nearest lampholder.
5.Place the batteries where they will not get too hot.
• Avoid placing the batteries too close to the lamps
especially the cathodes, or the ballast.
• The battery wiring will have negligible effects on
the EMC.
• Do not connect the batteries until the unswitched
240V supply is permanently assured.
6.Using the standard wiring circuits, where shown,
convert the luminaire wiring with reference to the
original circuit and routing, and where possible the
original ballast manufacturer’s instructions.
• On HF Ballast conversions the switched supply to the
ballast should be routed via the Lin/Lout pair on the
module so as to always prevent the ballast shutting
down if the unswitched supply only has failed.
• Avoid large loops in the wiring
• The switched 240V supply to the electronic ballast
needs to be kept as short as possible inside the fitting.
• It may be necessary to fit additional cable clips
or heat shields to protect the wiring from thermal
damage, and minimise electromagnetic disruption.
• The unswitched 240V supply to the emergency
module needs to be kept short but it is better to
lengthen this connection than the switched one.
• For other circuits not shown please consult the
Philips technical department.
• If it is necessary to cross the HF and LF connections
then this should be done at right angles in order to
minimise interference.

7.The LED indicator should be positioned for immediate
visual identification without removal of diffuser or louvre.
Installation Guide - Philips OEM Emergency Portfolio
16
• The LED wiring will have negligible effect on the
EMC compatibility. • Physically position the LED nearest the Emergency
Lighting lamp to indicate function.
8.Once the unswitched 240V supply is permanently
assured, connect the batteries.
• Once the batteries are connected ensure the
unswitched mains power is not being turned off
every night or else the batteries will not charge
correctly to give the required duration and lamp
degradation will occur.
• Ensure that the lamp is fitted.
• Sign and date the commissioning label to show
when battery was installed.
9.Where practical use new wiring for all interconnection,
and avoid connectors to existing wiring.
10.On completion of the conversion, check all connections
and wiring, ensuring Earth continuity and conductor
integrity. Do not use high voltage insulation test equipment.
11.The unswitched 240V supply to the luminaire should
be clearly identified.
12.With the supplies and batteries connected, check the
LED indicator illuminates, and the lamp(s) illuminate at
full brightness, and with the unswitched supply failed,
check that the lamp illuminates at reduced brightness.
Allow 24 hours charging before full operation/duration is
achieved.
Conversion Wiring for Fittings with Conventional Ballast
When modifying a conventionally ballasted mains luminaire to
accept an emergency conversion, it will usually be necessary
to rearrange the wiring and component layout of the fitting to
obtain the best thermal performance whilst still paying due
attention to the electromagnetic, and safety criteria.
Although the mains supply to the conventional ballast is
at a low frequency (LF), typically 50 Hz, and the output
leads from the ballast to the lamp are also at a low
frequency , the inverter output leads [terminals 1-4] run at
high frequency (HF) when the module is in an emergency
situation. The wires and looms carrying the LF connections
should be kept away from the HF ones to improve the
EMC. Fit the inverter module and battery in an accessible
position within the luminaire, ensuring that they are as far
away as possible from the high temperature control gear (ie
ballast etc.). If necessary reposition the ballast to keep the
battery and module as cool as possible. It is not necessary
to use the Lin/Lout pair with conventional ballast. Follow
wiring instructions as from 1 above.

as possible and the LF connections separate from the
HF ones.
• Do not use a common loom for the high frequency
(HF) connections and the normal 240V supply (LF).
• Ensure that the Lin/Lout connection pair (LF) are
routed away from the high frequency connections.
Keep the looms segregated, do not cable tie the
looms together.
• For Philips standard remote looms the colour code is
as follows: 1 White; 2 Violet; 3 Grey; 4 Blue; 5 Yellow;
6 Red; 7 Black; 8 Pink; Lin Brown; Lout Orange.
2.Ensure any fixings are carried out in a manner
complementary to the standard luminaire design,
and that the cables used have the same specification
(minimum 105°C rated PVC)
3.Segregate the mains (LF) wiring, and inverter output
[terminals 1-4] (HF) wiring, by separately routing
the cables in order to minimise electromagnetic
interference between the two.
• Within the fitting this can easily be done by routing
the HF connections one side of the Lighting
components (ballast, emergency module etc.) and
the LF connections the other side.
• The switched 240V supply to the electronic ballast
needs to be kept as short as possible inside the fitting.
• The unswitched 240V supply to the emergency
module needs to be kept short but it is better to
lengthen this connection than the switched one.
• If it is necessary to cross the HF and LF connections
then this should be done at right angles in order to
minimise interference.

It will usually be acceptable to run the LF and HF
connections in close proximity for a short distance if this
cannot be avoided.
4.For HF Ballasts keep the hot wires from the ballast
as short as possible. (If the hot wires are not already
marked, these wires will usually be the ones that are
short already).
• To keep these wires short it will usually be
preferable to position the emergency module so
as the module 8 way terminal block is in close
proximity to the emergency lampholder, or, with
a linear lamp, in close proximity to one of the
emergency lamp holders.
• If a remote conversion is to be used then place
the remote 10 way terminal block (8 inverter
connections plus 2 LED connections) in close
proximity to the emergency lampholder. The loom
connections to this block should be kept as short as
possible both inside and outside the fitting.
• The electronic ballast to be used with the emergency
lamp should be placed so as the lamp connection
terminals are near to the 8 (or 10) way terminal
block. With this layout the ‘hot’ wires can be routed
directly to the module terminals 7 & 8, and then from
terminals 1 & 2 to the nearest lampholder
5.Place the batteries where they will not get too hot.
• Avoid placing the batteries too close to the lamps
especially the cathodes, or the ballast.
• The battery wiring will have negligible effects on
the EMC.
• Do not connect the batteries until the unswitched
240V supply is permanently assured.
6.Using the standard wiring circuits, where shown,
convert the luminaire wiring with reference to the
original circuit and routing, and where possible the
original ballast manufacturer’s instructions.
• On HF Ballast conversions the switched supply to the
ballast should be routed via the Lin/Lout pair on the
module so as to always prevent the ballast shutting
down if the unswitched supply only has failed.
• Avoid large loops in the wiring
• It may be necessary to fit additional cable clips
or heat shields to protect the wiring from thermal
damage, and minimise electromagnetic disruption.
• For other circuits not shown please consult the
Philips technical department.
7.The LED indicator should be positioned for immediate
visual identification without removal of diffuser or louvre.
Installation Guide - Philips OEM Emergency Portfolio
22
• The LED wiring will have negligible effect on the
EMC compatibility. • Physically position the LED nearest the emergency
lighting lamp to indicate function.
8.
Once the unswitched 240V supply is permanently
assured, connect the batteries.
• Once the batteries are connected ensure the
unswitched mains power is not being turned off
every night or else the batteries will not charge
correctly to give the required duration and lamp
degradation will occur.
• Ensure that the lamp is fitted.
• Sign and date the commissioning label to show
when battery was installed.
9.Where practical use new wiring for all interconnection,
and avoid connectors to existing wiring.
10.On completion of the conversion, check all connections
and wiring, ensuring Earth continuity and conductor
integrity. Do not use high voltage insulation test
equipment.
11.The unswitched 240V supply to the luminaire should
be clearly identified.
12.With the supplies and batteries connected, check the
LED indicator illuminates, and the lamp(s) illuminate at
full brightness, and with the unswitched supply failed,
check that the lamp illuminates at reduced brightness.
Please allow 24 hours charging before full operation/
duration is achieved.
Conversion Wiring for Fittings with Conventional Ballast
When modifying a conventionally ballasted mains luminaire to
accept an emergency conversion, it will usually be necessary
to rearrange the wiring and component layout of the fitting to
obtain the best thermal performance whilst still paying due
attention to the electromagnetic, and safety criteria.
Although the mains supply to the conventional ballast is
at a low frequency (LF), typically 50 Hz, and the output
leads from the ballast to the lamp are also at a low
frequency , the inverter output leads [terminals 1-4] run at
high frequency (HF) when the module is in an emergency
situation. The wires and looms carrying the LF connections
should be kept away from the HF ones to improve the
EMC. Fit the inverter module and battery in an accessible
position within the luminaire, ensuring that they are as far
away as possible from the high temperature control gear (ie
ballast etc.). If necessary reposition the ballast to keep the
battery and module as cool as possible. It is not necessary
to use the Lin/Lout pair with conventional ballast. Follow
wiring instructions as from 1 above.

Installation: PHF-EL3-6/55
3 Hour EM Inverter for Amalgam and 2D Lamps up to 55W
The PHF-EL3-6/55 emergency lighting conversion module
is equipped with a high quality mains control circuit,
inverter circuit, 4 pole changeover relay and an additional
1 pole relay. This single pole relay allows the incorporation
of the modules with all electronic (HF) ballasts and switchstart control gear and 4 pin lamps to provide maintained
emergency lighting. The 4 pole relay enables the emergency
lamp to be run from the mains gear by providing a straight
through connection at the eight way module terminal block
when the unswitched supply is healthy. The 1 pole relay has
a time delay which prevents the HF ballasts from ‘shutting
down’ by breaking the switched supply to the ballast. One
side of the lamp cathodes are connected to terminals 1&2,
and the other side to terminals 3&4. The mains ballast
connections are made to terminals 5-8, (see typical wiring
diagrams for details on page 26). Under mains healthy
input, terminal 8 links to 1, 7 to 2, 6 to 3 and 5 to 4, then
upon unswitched mains failure, the inverter circuit powers
the lamp from the battery. Use of a LED indicator will show
battery charge healthy, and it also is used to indicate an
emergency lamp/fitting.

Conversion Wiring for Fittings with HF Ballast
When modifying a mains luminaire to accept an emergency
conversion which is fitted with one or more electronic
ballasts, it will usually be necessary to rearrange the wiring
and component layout of the fitting to obtain the best
electromagnetic performance whilst still paying due attention
to thermal and safety criteria. Electronic ballasts are distinct
from conventional ones in that the ballasts work at a higher
frequency. The mains supply to the electronic ballast is
at a low frequency (LF), typically 50 Hz, and the output
leads from the electronic ballast to the lamp are at a high
frequency (HF), typically 10-100 kHz. The inverter output
leads (terminals 1-4) also run at high frequency when the
module is in an emergency situation, therefore the wires
and looms carrying the LF connections should be kept away
from the HF ones to improve the EMC. Conversion should be
carried out taking into account the following points:
1.If possible the luminaire should be converted integrally,
but if this is not possible a remote conversion can be
used, keeping the interconnecting looms kept as short
as possible and the LF connections separate from the
HF ones.

Philips Emergency Batteries
Installation and Commissioning
Please take note of the following points during the
installation and commissioning of rechargeable NiMH
batteries for emergency lighting applications.
All new batteries must go through an activation process
to ensure they reach their rated capacity and can function
for the required emergency duration. This process involves
cyclic charging (24 hrs) and discharging (1/2/3 hrs) of the
batteries multiple times. The required number of cycles is
dependent on the temperature of the batteries and also the
storage time.
All Philips Emergency units have the deep discharge
protection circuits to limit the discharge current when the
battery voltage reaches a specific level known low voltage
battery cut off. Nonetheless all circuits consume a very
small current and over a very long period this current can
lead to deep discharge of the battery.
Unlike NiCd batteries, if NiMH batteries or individual cells
within a battery pack, are driven into this deep discharge
state they will not recover after charge/ discharge cycles.
It is therefore important that NiMH batteries are not left
connected for very long periods in a discharged state.
Should this activation process not be conducted the
batteries can fail to reach the necessary duration during the
first test.
Should the first duration test fails, repeat the test another
time to activate the batteries and to verify the performance
of the system. It is however important that the batteries are
not cycled too many time during use – this can decrease
the lifetime of the NiMH batteries.
Sometimes during the installation process batteries are
charged and discharged a few times as a result of the
switching of the mains supply. Where this mains switching
is limited to a few times this will normally activate the
batteries. However if excessive switching is limited to a
few times this will normally activate the batteries. However
if excessive switching of the mains supply occurs this can
as described lead to a reduction in the overall life of the
batteries.
Should the batteries fail to achieve the required duration on
the initial commissioning test then cycle them 1-2 times on
a 24 hour charge/ discharge in order to activate them fully
prior to conducting another full duration test.
All rechargeable batteries (especially NiMH), can be
damaged by excessive discharge known as “Deep
Discharge”. This happens if batteries are left connected for
long periods without charging. It can occur where building
are unoccupied for a long period with the mains supply
switched off or when luminaires are stored with batteries
connected for longer periods prior to installation.
