2. Installation Method
Step 1 – Preparation
De-energise the car lighting circuit; lock-out/tag-out and verify zero energy. Record serial number and battery date code.

Step 2 – Mounting
Position unit on car ceiling, 300 mm from fan. Use M4 screws (torque 1.2 N·m); ensure IP54 gasket seated.

Step 3 – Wiring
– Input: 230 V AC L/N/PE via 2 A breaker
– Output: 12 V DC to LED array
– Remote: Optional inhibit signal (5 V logic)
Earth conductor ≥1.5 mm²; maintain 50 mm separation from power cables.

Step 4 – Commissioning
Power-up; LED green. Run simulated blackout: light must illuminate within 1 s and last ≥1 hour. Log trip time and date.

3. Daily & Preventive Maintenance
Daily (Building Staff)
Visual check – LED green, no audible alarms. Ensure ventilation clear.

Monthly
Measure battery voltage (12 V ±0.5 V) and current (<200 mA float). Clean IP54 grille.

Quarterly
Run 1-hour blackout test; log trip time, battery temp. Cycle contactor 50×.

Annually
Replace battery if >3 years or capacity <80 %. Full 1-hour load test at 100 % load.

4. Replacement Cycle & Indicators
| Component | Replace Every | Warning Signs |
| Battery | 3–5 years | Voltage <11 V, swelling, leaks |
| LED array | 6–8 years | Lumen <70 %, flicker |
| Capacitor | 6–8 years | Bulging, >70 °C case |

Replace immediately if:
– Light duration <1 hour or incomplete illumination
– Repeated “battery low” or “fault” alarms
– Physical damage or water ingress (IP54 compromised)

Maintain one spare XAA417AK1 per 25 cars for <4-hour response.
