3. Operation: Relay automatically turns lamp on when power supply circuit voltage drops to 80 percent of nominal voltage or below. Lamp automatically disconnects from battery when voltage approaches deep-discharge level. When normal voltage is rest...
4. Test Push Button: Push-to-test type, in unit housing, simulates loss of normal power and demonstrates unit operability.
5. LED Indicator Light: Indicates normal power on. Normal glow indicates trickle charge; bright glow indicates charging at end of discharge cycle.
6. Wire Guard: Heavy-chrome-plated wire guard protects lamp heads or fixtures.
7. Integral Time-Delay Relay: Where specified, holds unit on for fixed interval of 15 minutes when power is restored after an outage.
8. Integral Self-Test: Factory-installed electronic device automatically initiates code-required test of unit emergency operation at required intervals. Test failure is annunciated by an integral audible alarm and flashing red LED.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
A. Comply with NECA 1.
B. Install luminaires level, plumb, and square with ceilings and walls unless otherwise indicated.
C. Refer to architectural reflected ceiling plan for exact location of lighting fixtures. Coordinate installation with ceiling rating. Provide fire rated cover for fixture where required. This may be a manufactured U.L. Listed cover, “hat” or box; or ...
D. Support for Lighting Fixtures in or on Grid-Type Suspended Ceilings: Use grid as a support element.
1. Install a minimum of four ceiling support system rods or wires for each fixture. Locate not more than 6 inches from lighting fixture corners.
2. Support Clips: Fasten to lighting fixtures and to ceiling grid members at or near each fixture corner with clips that are UL listed for the application.
3. Fixtures of Sizes Less Than Ceiling Grid: Install as indicated on reflected ceiling plans or center in acoustical panel, and support fixtures independently with at least two 3/4-inch metal channels spanning and secured to ceiling tees.
4. Provide support for luminaire without causing deflection of ceiling or wall.
E. Air-Handling Lighting Fixtures: Install with dampers closed and ready for adjustment.
F. Adjust aimable lighting fixtures to provide required light intensities.
G. Connect wiring according to Division 26 Section "Low-Voltage Electrical Power Conductors and Cables."
H. Provide additional conductors as required for dimming and control systems.
3.2 IDENTIFICATION
A. Identify system components, wiring, cabling, and terminals. Comply with requirements for identification specified in Division 26 Section "Identification for Electrical Systems."
3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Perform the following tests and inspections:
1. Operational Test: After installing luminaires, switches, and accessories, and after electrical circuitry has been energized, test units to confirm proper operation including controls.
2. Test for Emergency Lighting: Interrupt power supply to demonstrate proper operation. Verify transfer from normal power to battery power and retransfer to normal. Test using both the test push button, and separately using the associated branch circu...
3.4 STARTUP SERVICE
A. Comply with requirements for startup specified in Section 26 09 43.16 "Addressable-Fixture Lighting Controls."
B. Comply with requirements for startup specified in Section 26 09 43.23 "Relay-Based Lighting Controls."
3.5 ADJUSTING
A. Occupancy Adjustments: When requested within 12 months of date of Substantial Completion, provide on-site assistance in adjusting the direction of aim of luminaires to suit occupied conditions. Make up to two visits to Project during other-than-nor...
1. During adjustment visits, inspect all luminaires. Replace lamps or luminaires that are defective.
2. Parts and supplies shall be manufacturer's authorized replacement parts and supplies.
3. Adjust the aim of luminaires in the presence of the COR.
