 Installation Instructions for the Sure-Lites SELA Architectural Emergency Light with Self Diagnostics

ACTIVATING TIME DELAY

The SELA series has an integrated time delay circuit that 
allows them to remain in emergency mode 15 minutes after 
power is restored. To activate the time delay, open the fixture 
by unsnapping the fixture assembly cover from the fixture 
assembly body (see Fig. 4) and then remove the jumper on the 
circuit board labeled TDI/J1 (see Figure 5).

OPERATION

The Sure-Lites Self Diagnostics circuitry is continuously 
monitoring your emergency fixture, and will signal any failure 
through the 3 color indicator LED.

Initial Operation

 

When the unit is first powered up, it will go into a 24 hour fast 
charge, indicated by the indicator LED pulsing green. Once the 
unit has fully charged, it will perform a self-calibration, after 
which the LED will change to steady green, indicating the unit 
is fully charged and float charging the battery to maintain  
readiness.

Automatic Testing 

The unit will perform a battery capacity, lamp/LED, and charge 
circuit test every 30 days for 30 seconds. During this time, the 
indicator LED will change to a steady yellow. It will perform a 
full battery capacity (90 minute) test once per year. During this 
time, the indicator LED will change to a blinking yellow.

Manual Testing

• 10 Second “Installation” test – Press and release the test 
button once during fast charge (blinking green) to initiate a 10 
second quick test. The sign will switch to emergency mode for 
10 seconds allowing the installer to verify proper installation of 
the unit, and the LED indicator will turn solid yellow.

• 30 Second Test -Press and release the test button once during 
float charge (steady green). The indicator LED will turn steady 
yellow to indicate the unit is performing a 30 second test of the 
batteries and lamps/LEDs.

 • 90 Minute Test -Press and release the test button a second 
time during a 30 second test (steady yellow) to change to a 90 
minute test. During this test, the LED indicator will change to 
blinking yellow, and the circuit will perform a full battery  
capacity, charge circuit, and LED test.

• Canceling Test – Press and release the test button during the 
90 minute test (flashing yellow) to return the fixture to its  
original state (fast charge or float charge).

Laser Testing

The SELA is equipped with a Laser Test function, that allows the 
unit to be manually tested without the need to physically press 
the test button. Shining a laser pointer in the hole marked 
“LASER TEST” on the bottom of the unit has the same effect as 
a press and release of the test button.
