Legrand Emergency Lighting Control Unit Installation guide

Brand: Legrand

Model: Emergency Lighting Control Unit

Type: Installation guide

The LMEC-100 Emergency Lighting Control Unit allows Blanco or Araya lighting control devices (Logic modules) for normal lighting to

also control emergency lighting installed within the area. The LMEC is designed for lighting control in areas where emergency Blanco

or Araya controlled lighting xtures are connected to emergency lighting circuits. With the loss of normal power, the xture will go

full 100% ON and full CCT if applicable to the Blanco or Araya lighting control devices. When normal power is restored, the lighting

xtures can be controlled and returned to their normal state.

The intended operation of the LMEC is to guarantee that the emergency lighting is ON whenever normal power to the controlled

circuit is interrupted. When normal power is present, the LMEC allows control of the emergency lighting by a device such as an

occupancy sensor, a dimmer, or a wall switch.

OVERVIEW

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS–SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not use near gas or electric heaters.

2. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized

personnel.

3. Use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

4. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.

5. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.

6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies before servicing.

7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120-240VAC/277VAC).

8. Servicing should be performed by qualied service personnel.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The LMEC-100 will be tied to 120VAC or 277VAC normal power for sensing power loss (using wires #1 black and #2 white). The

violet wire will be connected the blue wires of the LMFC-RJ-50-24 breaking the com bus (TX/RX) to the LMLM-101 that has rmware

that is looking at the loss of the com bus (TX/RX). When loss is present for more than 10 seconds, it switches the Blanco or Araya

Logic module on to 100% intensity and full CCT range if applicable. With the loss of normal power, the com bus (TX/RX) will open,

then the LMLM will see the loss of com bus (TX/RX), and after 10 seconds will send a command to the Blanco or Arraya logic module

to go to full 100% intensity and full CCT range if applicable. After normal power and com bus (TX/RX) is restored, the end user has

control of the system again and must reset the preferred lighting scene. Power to the xture that are required to be illuminated during

an emergency event can be supplied from several sources such as a local back-up generator, a UPS system or battery packs to the

luminaire.

NOTE: The LMEC-100 has a test button on the front, as well as an optional re alarm input that can also override the system.

Connect the LMEC-100 per the wiring diagram shown below:

WIRING DIAGRAMS

INITIAL TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

On a 20 Amp circuit, one emergency power control (LMEC)

can control up to 20 Amp of emergency lighting load, or 20

LMECs can each control one Amp of emergnecy lighting

load. One LMEC is required per switch leg or zone.

In a new installation, where hundreds of devices may be used, each having as many as 14 wires to be correctly connected, it is

important that a fast, convenient method is used to check connections. In order to test that the wires are connected correctly, without

any inconvenience to occupants, do not turn off regular (utility) power off until you have checked each device as follows:

1. Check that regular branch circuit breaker is connected & utility power is available. The green LED should be lit. If the green LED

is not lit, check connections & continuity to branch circuit breaker.

2. Check that the emergency branch circuit breaker is connected & emergency power is available.

3. Normal Operation Test: Turn dimmer or other control device to the “ON” position. Emergency lights should turn on. Reduce

dimmer to ~50%, emergency lights should dim to ~50%. Turn room switch or control to the “OFF” position. Emergency lights

should turn off.

4. Emergency Operation Test: Press and hold test button; emergency lights should illuminate at full brightness until test button is

released.

No maintenance is required to keep the LMEC-100 functional. However, regular testing should be performed when the lamps or

ballasts have been replaced or when remodeling has taken place.

MAINTENANCE

INSTALLATION

1. In order to install the LMEC-100 in accordance with national/local code requirements, a qualied electrician should review &

understand the installation instructions. Check voltage and current requirements.

2. Verify & lock out circuit breakers on both the regular (utility) power and 24 hour emergency generator or inverter circuit. Install

a self-adhesive 2” x 3” caution label in each xture or load controlled by an RRU cautioning that the load is supplied from two

different power sources, normal and emergency.

3. Review wiring diagram and connect wires one at a time, in accordance with the numeric identication.

4. In order to provide a safe light level, when regular power is interrupted, it is recommended that a minimum of approximately 5000

lumen are controlled by a 24 hour emergency circuit and are spaced no farther than 24’ in any direction from each other in a

normal 9’ white ceiling environment.
