Troubleshooting guide

If you have installed and connected the fitting as per the instructions listed earlier and it does 
not function correctly, use the following table as a guide to fixing the problem. Look up the 
type of fault in the left column and check the possible causes from the right column.  

If the fitting still does not work after checking these possible causes, contact ABB customer 
service in Australia on 1800 60 20 20.

Construction sites

Continuously switching off the mains power 
supply that is connected to emergency light 
fittings during the construction phase of an 
installation will cause these fittings to discharge 
and charge their batteries many times over a 
short period; this can shorten life of the battery. 
ABB does not recommend such practices and 
may not honour the warranty on batteries when 
they are subjected to such harsh operating 
conditions. Emergency light fittings are designed 
to be discharge tested once every 6 months as 
per AS/NZS 2293.2, subjecting the product to 
repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded 
as an abuse of the fittings.

Testing precautions

Once the fitting is permanently connected to the 
mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as 
required in AS/NZS 2293.2 must be carried out. 
You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to 
fully charge prior to conducting this test, 

presently (at the time of writing), the standard 

requires that fittings operate in emergency mode 
for a period not less than 2 hours for their 
commissioning test and for not less than 90 
minutes thereafter (it is required that 6 monthly 

discharge tests be carried out). You will need to 

keep the records for the commissioning test and 
enter them into the building emergency services 
logbook or via other recording methods as 
allowed by AS/NZS 2293.2.

PL Lamp warning

For PL lamp application it is recommended that 
the power pack be used without a LDR. The fitting 
should be designated as a non-maintained fitting. 
The LDR is not designed to be affixed to a PL lamp. 
If AC lamp monitoring is required then the LDR 
must be mounted adjacent to the PL lamp. Please 
contact ABB customer service on 1800 60 20 20 
if you require more information. Specific PL lamp 
power packs are supplied without a LDR and are
