•
Installation and service should be performed by a licensed
electrician.
All electrical connections must be in accordance with local codes,
ordinances, and any applicable national codes, e.g., the National
Electrical Code.
Before wiring to AC service, turn off AC power at fuse or circuit
breaker.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters or let power supply
cords touch hot surfaces.
Mount in location where fixture will not readily be subject to
tampering.
•
•
•
•
•
The use of non-Primex Wireless accessory equipment is not
recommended as it may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipment for anything other than the intended
purpose.
SNS Emergency Lights are designed for indoor use only. Operating
outdoors or in wet areas is an electrical hazard and may damage the
equipment while nullifying the warranty.
Disconnect AC power and unplug battery before servicing.
Use caution when servicing batteries. Replace only with battery
specified for the fixture.
WALL MOUNTING
IMPORTANT! Steps Prior to Installation
STEP 1 Record Fixture Location

Using the Emergency Light Installation List, record the fixture’s physical
location to its Emergency Light Controller (ELC) MAC Address.
STEP 2 Mount Fixture




Remove the 2 screws from each side of the front cover. Then use a flat head
screwdriver to depress the 4 tabs to remove the front cover. (Figure 1)
Knock out the 2 key hole slots on the Emergency Light as well as the holes
for mounting the emergency light to the junction box. The 2 additional keyhole mounting slots must be used when mounting fixture to the wall.
Position the fixture securely on the wall. Additional chain hook holes, if
chain support is required by local codes, are provide at each end of the
enclosure. (Figure 1) Feed the Main Supply Leads from the junction box
through center hole on back plate.
Mount the fixture securely in place to the junction box.
STEP 3 Wiring






Connect the Fixture Earth wire (green) to the Main Power Earth wire
(green). (Figure 2)
Connect the Fixture Neutral wire (white), ELC Neutral wire (white), and
the Main Power Neutral wire together.
Connect ELC Line In wire (black) to the Main Power wire (120VAC).
Place and secure the batteries in the fixture using the supplied mounting
hardware.
Connect the ELC red wire (battery positive) receptacle to the battery
positive terminal.
Connect the ELC blue wire (battery negative) receptacle to the battery
negative terminal.
Before beginning the installation, ensure the following:
• The Primex Wireless SNS AMP is installed with default
settings entered for the network (Light Profile). Typically,
the Information Technology (IT) department sets up the
SNS AMP.
• The AMP’s designated wired or wireless network must be
available with adequate signal for the fixture to calibrate
and operate properly.
• Fixtures must be configured with the AMP network
settings. Typically, fixtures will be configured by the IT
department prior to installation.
• Ensure you have the Emergency Light Installation List to
record the fixture’s physical location during installation.
This list is generated by the SNS AMP and includes the
fixtures’ MAC addresses.
277VAC Use
The fixture is shipped assuming 120VAC operation. If the
fixture is to run off of 277VAC, disconnect the brown wire on
the ELC from the black wire on the fixture. Then connect the
brown wire from the ELC to the orange wire on the fixture. In a
277VAC operation the black wire from the fixture will not be
connected. Unused lead(s) must be properly insulated using
wirenut(s) or other approved method. Model ELF609 is not
compatible with 277VAC.
STEP 4 Test and Calibrate




Replace the front cover and its 2 screws.
Restore main AC power to the fixture. The red LED indicator will illuminate
indicating AC power is on.
Test and calibrate the fixture by pressing the button on the front of the ELC
rapidly 4 times. The ELC green LED indicator will flash through several
sequences, indicating it has entered its Calibration Mode. After 10 seconds
the lamps will illuminate for 10 seconds. If lamps do not illuminate, verify
connections and ensure bulb filament is intact.
The fixture begins to charge for a 24 hour period before completing
calibration. The ELC green LED indicator will flash rapidly during this period.
After the 24 hour period, the fixture will automatically run a 10 second self
test and send the results to the SNS AMP, and then is ready for full use.
