Emergency lights or standard

[Bradley6969]

emergency lights not coming on when breaker is switched off, are these wired just for use as normal lights rather than emergency??? Sorry not done much emergency lights before

That looks wrong to me, the p/c override and supply for the control.

depends on what you are trying to achieve.
if you want the lights
perm on, turn manual switch to on.
automatic, turn manual switch to off with over ride switch on
perm off, turn manual switch to off and over ride switch to off

It’s the contactor bit how do you incorporate that

So the contactor has a coil that switches it on and off (perhaps A1&A2.L&N)
All the switched outputs from the photocells need to connect to A1 of the contactor

Here’s more detailed schematics, if it’s any help.

Cheers mate, what software you use to draw that

The p/cell switch is not overriding the photocell it's isolating it.

Possibly
Just put your tester on them to find out

So perm wants to go to emergency module?

Then how does non maintained and maintained work? How you configure for each

 

[Charlie_]

The switch live to the lamp and perm live to the module..
To configure between 2 types you would just link out the sw & perm live.
But your set up doesn’t work like that

 

[Bradley6969]

So perm to mod switch to lamp will that work as non maintained but illuminate when power fails

 

[Charlie_]

Yes if it’s all wired up right

 

[Bradley6969]

Thanks all sorted now
