Emergency timer installation instruction
2. Safety warning
1. THIS PRODUCT MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
2. BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION TURN OFF AND ISOLATE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
3. DO NOT TOUCH THE TERMINAL BLOCK OR CIRCUITRY WHEN THE EMERGENCY TIMER IS ENERGISED.
4. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY PARTS OF THE
EMERGENCY TIMER AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
5. AS THE INSTALLER, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU COMPLY TO ALL RELEVANT
BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES FOR EXAMPLE THE BCA, AS3000. REFER TO APPLICATION STANDARDS
FOR THE RELEVANT RULES.
6. WHEN INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, PLEASE LEAVE THIS MANUAL WITH THE BUILDING’S OWNER/S
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
3. EMERGENCY TIMER
The Emergency Timer is powered from a 230VAC input. The device can monitor up to 5 lighting
circuits and triggers a relay/contactor if any of the monitored lines fail. The device also has a key input
which is used to start and stop emergency tests by triggering the relay/contactor.
The buttons on the emergency timer are used for commissioning purposes (i.e. Enable/Disable
Prolong, Set Duration Time, Enable/Disable Monitoring Lines). Multiple Emergency Timers can also be
used together by connecting the devices via interlinking cable, this feature will only monitor interconnect
fault conditions and is not triggered if the device is in a test.
4. WHY USE AN EMERGENCY TIMER
The Emergency Timer is used as an emergency test timer as well as an emergency monitoring device
and complies to AS/NZS 2293.1:1998 Sensing of supply failure (2.4.2.1 and 2.4.2.2). The Emergency
Timer also provides additional features such as prolong, where the devices can remain in emergency
mode for an extended time allowing HID lights time to relight (AS/NZS 2293.1:1998 2.4.1). The table
below shows where this product is typically used. For more information refer to AS2293.

5. INSTALLATION
The Emergency Timer can be installed in two ways either as a large system or small system.
5.1 Large System (greater than 1 Lighting Circuit)
In large systems loss of supply on a sensing circuit connected to the normal fittings will automatically
energize emergency luminaires and exit signs in the area served by the normal lighting subcircuit.
Figure 1 shows how multiple Emergency Timers are wired to sense multiple normal fitting subcircuits in
a large system. On a large system the manual test facility only tests the emergency fittings on the unit the
devices are connected to and not on the interlinking units.

5.2 Small System (1 Lighting Circuit)
In small systems the self-contained emergency luminaires and exit signs are configured in such a way
if that the power fails on the normal lighting subcircuit the emergency devices will be powered by the

7. EMERGENCY TIMER CONTENTS
The Emergency Timer is sold in two different kits:
• Emergency Timer Kit - This includes 1x Emergency Timer unit and 1x interlinking cable. This kit
is for use in bigger applications, where multiple units are connected together to monitor up to 30
mains inputs.
•
Emergency Timer Assembly Kit - This includes 1x Emergency Timer, 1x Assembly Enclosure
and pre-cut wires for connection between the emergency timer unit and contactor (contactor
NOT included with kit). This kit is used in smaller applications where up to 5 mains inputs can be
monitored. This kit is easily installed to an existing switch board.

10. EMERGENCY TIMER COMMISSIONING
Below details the method used to commission the Emergency Timer:
Hold down SET + turn key to STOP
COMMISSION
This feature will enable/disable monitored inputs 1-5
depending on the current state of each input. Lines which
are supposed to be monitored should be live when
commissioning. The status LED will flash twice to indicate
the process was successful.
TOGGLE RELAY
MODE
This feature will change the default state of the relay. If
enabled the relay will be normally-open and be switched to
live if in emergency/test. If disabled the relay will be
normally-closed (live) and be switched to off if in
emergency/test. The status LED will flash three times to
indicate the relay mode has changed to normally-closed.
The status LED will flash four times to indicate the relay
mode has changed to normally-open.
TOGGLE
PROLONG
If prolong is enabled the device will wait 15 minutes before
returning to normal operation when the power is returned
from power failure on any of the monitored lines or if the
unit loses power. When prolong is active the prolong button
will flash.
TOGGLE TEST
DURATION
This feature will toggle how long the duration test should
commence after the unit has started a test. It can be set to
either 90 minutes or 120 minutes.
START
EMERGENCY
TEST
This will start a duration test and switch the unit to
emergency mode for the set duration time.
STOP
EMERGENCY
TEST
This will stop any emergency test or prolong mode and
return the relay to normal operation.

11. WIRING AND INTERLINKING
Multiple Emergency Timers can be interlinked so that multiple emergency systems can be triggered
at the same time when one or more lighting circuits fail.Up to 6x units can be connected together,
allowing up to 30 main circuits to be monitored. The units being interlinked need to have a common
neutral connection as shown in the figure below. The EM-TIMER-INTERLINK Cable (6122) shall be
used to interlink the units.
Note:The interlink cable is only used to trigger an emergency condition. The setting of prolong and
relay mode will need to be set on each Emergency Timer.
