STEP #4
INSTALLING THE CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT
> Install the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT as shown in the illustration below so that it will be visible after the fixture
is installed.
TROFFER STYLE FIxTURE
NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label.
STEP #5
WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the fixture.
> Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s). Make
electrical connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and any local
regulations.
> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.
> At this point, power should be connected to both the AC ballast and the emergency ballast, and the Charging
Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency ballast has been charging for one hour. Charge
for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.
> In a readily visible location, attach the label "CAUTION - This Unit Has More Than One Power Connection Point.
To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And Emergency
Power Supplies Before Servicing."
> To disarm audible alarm, cut red/white wire loop (CAP ENDS).
OPERATION
During normal operation, AC power is applied and the self-testing emergency ballast charges the battery. Connecting the
(red and white) inverter connector wires enables the emergency circuit, and supplies power to the control/monitor circuit
and charging indicator light. The self-testing emergency ballast continually monitors the charging current and battery
voltage, comparing them to preset limits. Should the unit detect an unusual current or voltage condition, the indicator
light will flash and the internal audible alarm will sound.
When AC power fails, the self-testing emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency mode, keeping either one or
two lamps illuminated at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the self-testing
emergency ballast returns to charging mode and delays AC ballast operation for approximately three seconds to prevent
false tripping of AC ballast (end-of-lamp life) shutdown circuits.
SELF-TESTING OPERATION
This unit contains a control/monitor circuit that automatically performs a 30-second discharge test every 30 days, and a
full 90-minute discharge test once a year. During routine testing, the self-testing emergency ballast simulates an AC power
failure causing the unit to automatically switch to emergency mode. The unit will monitor the operation of the lamps,
battery voltage, discharge current, and emergency duration. If the emergency system functions properly, then the unit will
return to normal mode. Should the unit detect any problems, the indicator light will flash continually and the audible alarm
will sound 4 times every 30 seconds until the condition has been corrected or the unit passes the next test.
To reset a failure indication, push and hold the test switch for a minimum of 15 seconds. If the condition has not been
corrected by the next scheduled test, the unit will once again detect the failure and signal the failure indicator.
To cancel a test, turn the wall switch ON (or OFF if switch is already on), wait 5 seconds, then turn it OFF (ON).
