Hazard

The product presents a risk of entrapment if following a power cut, the power is restored but then cuts out again disrupting the self-test setup sequence before it is completed (this takes approx. 5 seconds). The disruption of the self-test setup sequence may result in the fitting failing to default to emergency operation. This could mean that the product may not perform as expected when relied upon as guidance to safety. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Remedy

Modification programme. From Mid-November 2023 Eterna will be providing new PCB control units which will need to be replaced by a qualified Electrician. If you have not been contacted by the Wholesaler or Eterna Lighting please contact Eterna directly at [email protected] or 01933-673144 open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.
