LED Emergency Exit Sign
The Forest Emergency Exit sign
utilises LED technology with the added
advantage of ‘self-test’ operation for
low-cost, high power, emergency
illumination.

Please note
The Health and Safety Signs and Signals
Regulations i, SI 341, introduced in 1996
to enact the EU Signs Directive ii,
required that all text-only fire safety
signs (i.e. EXIT or FIRE EXIT signs)
produced to comply with BS 2560 should
be replaced by 24th December 1998 with
the pictogram format “running man”
signs.
Consideration should not only be
given to updating signs by changing
the legend panels or diffusers, but also
to taking the opportunity to test the
installed signage products. Testing will
often reveal that the internal battery
also needs replacing. Replacement of
just the legend panels or diffusers may
be difficult if the sign luminaire type has
been discontinued by the maker. This,
combined with the possible need to
replace the internal battery, will usually
mean that it is more cost effective to
replace the whole luminaire.

INSTALLATION
All Installations should be carried out by a competent electrician.
1.
Remove the black end cap,
2.
Slide the aluminium cover off,
3.
Feed the AC wire through the hole on the top of the aluminium housing into the main body of the light
4.
ISOLATE THE A.C. SUPPLY and connect unit. An unswitched 230V A.C. ± 10% supply must be connected to the live (L). Earth and neutral (N) terminals
on the PCB block. When Maintained operation is required, illumination can be achieved by connecting a link between L’ and L either locally or
through a remote switch, or by switching a ‘Live’ feed in to L’.
5.
The battery is pre-connected.
6.
Fit the ‘legend blade’ Refit the aluminium cover & black end cap.
7.
Operational Check – Restore the A.C. Supply for 30 minutes and then remove. The LED’s should illuminate for at least 10 seconds.
8.
Restore the A.C. supply and check that the indicator LED is ‘on’.
9.
A method of testing the luminaire should be incorporated in the supply circuit. This should be installed to fail the un-switched supply. A key switch may
be suitable (EN 60598-2-22:1998 22.20.1)

OPERATION
Non-Maintained
LED’s normally off and battery on automatic charge (LED ‘on’) when A.C. Supply is healthy. Solid state circuitry automatically switches lamp on when A.C.
supply is interrupted.
Maintained
Emergency LED’s normally on, when the supply to L’ is switched on. The battery is on automatic charge (LED ‘on’). Lamp will switch on or remain on if A.C.
Supply is interrupted.
Monitoring
Green indicator lamp (LED) normally continuously ‘on’. Indicator lamp goes out if A.C. Supply or charger fails.
Battery
Sealed Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable battery pack.
Temperature
Performance figures measured at 25oC.
Fault Finding And Corrective Action
Monitoring Led Not Illuminated
A.C. Supply not healthy. Battery not connected. Charger failed.
Unit Not Meeting Required Emergency Period
May need cycling: Discharge then recharge for 24 hours. Re-test, Battery pack may need replacing if emergency duration still not met.
Environmental Parameters
Rated performance limits: Temperature Min 5oC Max 25oC
Humidity 80% max

TESTING
Recommended Routine Test Procedure
The following test is designed to ensure the continued protection of your premises and occupants. Because of the possibility of a failure of the normal lighting supply occurring shortly after a period of testing, all tests should, whenever possible, be undertaken at times of least risk, e.g. during daylight hours.
Once A Day
Visual inspection of battery charge led.
Once A Month
Each unit should be energised from it’s battery for adequate time to ensure, by simulation of a failure of the normal lighting supply, the emergency mode is
functioning correctly.
Once Each Year
All units should be placed into emergency mode and checked that the duration provided by the battery meets the specified time period.
Forest ‘Self-Test’
•
20 hours after applying mains voltage a function test is automatically run (30 sec. The items checked are ‘emergency changeover and lamp.
•
After a further 4 hours, an automatic 3 hour duration test is run. (If the test button is pressed for 5 sec. before the duration test has ended, the test is
aborted.)
•
Following the first duration test, regardless of whether or not this was passed, the weekly function test and yearly duration test are automatically started.

Meaning of the indicator LED
Green
Red
The status display can only be cleared after the fault has been rectified, mains voltage has been reapplied and a function test has been run.
Changing The Rechargeable Battery
If the emergency duration is less than 180 min., the rechargeable battery has to be replaced. Use only original batteries from the manufacturer.
