• EM key switch for EM lights function
• Contactor
• Photocell for EM standard use
• Override for EM standard use

Feed (Line), Neutral earth to Contactor. Feed from top of contactor to Photocell L/IN, loop a feed to the Key switch. Key switch line to Emergency fittings. L/out from photocell to A1 of the contactor coil. A2 Neutral, Switchline, Neutral, Earth out of the contactor to your lights.

Hard to type it... If I’m free I’ll draw what I would do.

Thanks I’ll do a drawing later, appreciate your help think I’ve got the idea

Break it down into seperate componants. Neutral and earth are easy, just connect to everything that needs it.

You need to take a live to the permenant live terminal, and this needs to be interupted by the test keyswitch.

You also need to take a live to the switched live, and this needs to be interupted by the photo cell.

You also want to bypass the photocell with a switch, so wire a switch across the lives on the photocell.

Or, insert a switch between the photocel and the light, take com to the switched live, L1 from the photocel and L2 from the live feed, and the switch will switch between them

Appreciate that I’ll do a drawing later and see if it’s all good thanks for your time

Sorry, missed the contactor bit, feed the coil of that instead of the light, and then use the switched terminals of the contactor to drive the lights. You will need 2 if you need a contacto

Sorry i missed the contactor bit but you would just feed the contactor coil instead of the swich live as mentioned above. And then take the switched contactor output to the switched live on the lights.
