Emergency Lighting Test Module Installation Manual
Description
Clipsal’s Emergency Lighting Discharge Test Module has been specifically designed
to meet the needs of the electrical industry.
According to AS/NZS2293.1 2005 and AS/NZS2293.2 1995 regluations, see
“Emergency Evacuation Lighting for Buildings”, a discharge test circuit MUST be
installed for testing the charge in both existing and new installations.
Application
Designed for the maintenance of emergency lighting systems, Clipsal’s 4CEMERG
is a convenient and versatile discharge test facility, which can be mounted
separately using the supplied enclosure. It can also be installed in the Clipsal range
of fast fit metal switchboards, taking advantage of the DIN rail area at the top of the
switchboard.
The 4CEMERG is available less enclosure, in this case it becomes 4CEMERGLE.
The 4CEMERG test module features:
• 6 pole surface mount enclosure with lid 4CC6
• 4 pole 25A N/C contactor 4CNT4NC
• 2 x push buttons (1 N/O and N/C) 4P16B and 4P16B1C
• Delay timer 0.1 second to 10 hours 4TD1.
Operation
Upon engaging push button “start”, the timer begins its operation and energises
the contactor coil. The four normally closed contacts then open, initiating operation
of the emergency lights. The timer must be set at two hours. After this period, the
contactor de-energises returning the contacts to normally closed position. If “stop”
button is pressed, the timer resets.

Switch Start Circuit (HPF)
The ballast limits the current supplied to the lamp. When the lamp is cold, the
voltage from the ballast is not sufficient to strike an arc in the lamp. The starter is
used to create a high voltage pulse which initially starts the arc inside the lamp. The
capacitor corrects power factor (from about 0.4).

Switch Start Circuit (Leading)
The leading circuit is virtually the same as the HPF circuit. Instead of being
connected between Active and Neutral, the capacitor is connected in line (series)
with the Active. The capacitor is a special type, and must be rated for 440V.
The leading lamp circuit reduces lamp life by about 25%.

Electronic Ballast Circuit
The electronic ballast only has six connections, two in and four out. Very simple to
wire and service, the power factor is nearly 1.0, so no PF correction capacitor
is required.
