Installation Leaflet

General Description

Florin E3 is a range of stand-alone LED emergency
wireless luminaires incorporating a driver and battery pack in a plastic housing. The luminaire contains a high-power white LED and indicator LED for emergency use only.
The LED control gear has reinforced insulation between the supply and the battery circuit, and a battery charger with short circuit protection that will continue to operate when the short is removed.

Batteries (where applicable)

The luminaire includes a 1.5Ah rechargeable LiFePO4 battery pack for 3-hour operation. When the luminaire no longer meets the 3 hours duration battery should be replaced.

Relevant Standards

Whitecroft declares that the radio equipment used in this luminaire is in compliance with Statutory Instrument UK SI 2017 No.1206 and Directive 2014/53/EU, see www.whitecroftlighting.com.

IMPORTANT:

Please ensure that the information contained in this leaflet is passed on to the user/maintenance engineer.
Mark the luminaire with the date of commissioning in the space provided on the battery label.

THIS IS A WIRELESS DALI PRODUCT. DO NOT CONNECT ANY WIRES TO THE SPARE DALI TERMINALS.
The battery lead should only be connected at the time of commissioning.
When the supplies and battery leads are connected, the white cover should be ‘clicked’ into place to prevent electric shock.
The LED is non-replaceable. Contact Whitecroft Lighting in the unlikely event of a failure.

Operation – integrated battery versions
Upon connection of a permanent mains supply, the indicator LED lights to show the battery is receiving charge. Following an initial charging period, commissioning test and a subsequent charging period of 24 hours the unit will be capable of providing 3 hours of emergency duration

Installation

The luminaire must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the current building and wiring regulations. Luminaires comply with the EMC directive in both modes of operation, mains, and emergency.
The luminaire can either be recessed or surface mounted onto a ceiling. To recess the luminaire a Ø127mm hole should be cut in the ceiling prior to
installation. This product is suitable for ceiling thicknesses of 10-25mm. When installing thin or soft ceiling tiles, an additional pattress may be
required to ensure that the luminaire fits securely. This should be a support panel, to be fitted behind the ceiling, cut from suitable sheet material with a hole
drilled to match the luminaire installation aperture (by others).

Unpack the fitting, and fit the two springs using the two screws supplied. The minimum ceiling void is 40mm based on 10mm ceiling tile.
For a surface, mount installation fit the collar supplied over the main body of the luminaire.

Automatic Commissioning

Please note there is no need to do a manual test on this product.
If in the unlikely event a manual test needs to be undertaken please ensure it has completed the commissioning phase as per the table below.
Do not connect the batteries until there is a reliable permanent mains supply present as a mains interruption will rest the commissioning test clock.
The commissioning test will start when the permanent supply and batteries are connected.

Commissioning phase table

Please note: All images shown are for illustration purposes and should be used only for reference.

For best photometric performance ensure that the long axis of the escape route lens is in line (parallel) with the line molded in the cover plate. These lines should then be positioned along the path of the escape route as shown above.

TEST
Wireless luminaire local bi-color LED indicator status

Slow flash – a flash every 2 seconds, Fast flash – a flash every 0.5 second
Note that the start times of the tests are set automatically to ensure random testing of the units. As a consequence, tests may occur at any time, and caution should be exercised in situations where this may be inconvenient, such as hotels and hospitals.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. A qualified electrician, in accordance with IEE wiring regulations, should carry out connection to mains wiring.
2. Ensure that the rated voltage and frequency requirements are compatible with the available mains supply.
3. Cleaning of reflectors and lenses should be carried out using clean, soft, and lint-free cloths and anti-static cleaning fluid
4. Do not carry out high voltage insulation tests, i.e. 500/1000v this may damage internal components.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The luminaire should be positioned so that prolonged staring into the luminaire at a distance closer than 0.24m is not expected.
