LightGuard is a Philips group brandF100/F85

Furnish and install LightGuard emergency lighting model ______. The unit shall be listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Standard 924 and shall meet the standards of the

National Electrical Code (NEC).

INSTALLATION /OPERATION - Unit shall be easily field connected to a 120 or 277 volt, 60 hertz, unswitched power source. Installation must comply with the NEC Code as well

as other applicable codes. Upon utility power failure or brownout, the unit shall automatically transfer to battery power and maintain the required illumination for a minimum

period of 90 minutes. Upon restoration of utility power, the charger shall restore the battery to full charge within 12 hours following a rated discharge of not more than 90

minutes

CHARGER - The charger shall be solid-state, SCR controlled, full wave and current limited, and shall utilize a pulse current charge to extend battery life. It shall include

temperature compensation for temperature variations from 77°F. Components shall operate at less than 50% of their rating to ensure reliability and long life. The charger

shall maintain the battery at full capacity without the need for periodic exercising or equalizing. The following features shall be standard: Low Voltage Disconnect; Brownout

Protection; AC Lockout.

BATTERY (LEC-361) - The battery shall be Lightguard’s LEC-361 (F100 model) battery, and shall be capable of a 32.4 watt discharge at 10 hours, with a minimum AH rating of

36 AH. The LEC-361 battery shall be a completely sealed, extra long-life, lead calcium type with plates constructed of calcium tin alloy lead grids. The LEC-361 battery shall

never need addition of water or electrolyte, and shall operate completely unattended for up to 20 years. The battery shall consist of three cells for a total of six volts with a

specific gravity of 1.25 (±.10) at 77°F at the eight-hour rate to a final voltage of 1.75 per cell. The battery casing shall be constructed of polycarbonate with a permanently

sealed cover and self-sealing vents to permit the escape of undue pressure build-up. The plates shall be constructed of calcium tin alloy grids and separated by microporous

rubber, which enables the electrolyte to circulate freely during charging and discharging. The battery shall be warranted for 15 years (5 full, 10 prorated) with a written, full

disclosure warranty.

HOUSING - The cabinet shall be constructed of 20 gauge steel and the door shall be constructed of 18 gauge steel with hammertone gray epoxy powder coat finish. The door

shall include a hinged access and two view ports for quick battery inspection.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS (optional) - The unit shall include OmniTest self-diagnostics. OmniTest shall conduct the following automatic tests: battery voltage and lamp continuity every

10 seconds, a 3 minute battery discharge and lamp illumination test every 30 days, and a 30 minute battery discharge and lamp illumination test every 6 months. OmniTest

shall also conduct the following manual tests: three minute, 30 minute and 90 minute battery discharge and lamp illumination tests and optional audible alarm test.

CONTROLS - The unit shall include a "Press-to-Test” switch, AC "On” and Fast Charge Rate indicator lights.
