INSTALLATION
WARNING:
OUTPUT LEADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, INVERTER CONNECTOR MUST BE OPEN. DO NOT JOIN
INVERTER CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS SUPPLIED TO
THE EMERGENCY BALLAST.
NOTE:
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY
STEP #1
BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture.
Remove the ballast channel cover and
install the emergency ballast in the ballast
channel (see Illustration 1).
> Remote mounting distance must be less
than half the maximum remote mounting
distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC
ballast manufacturer before remote
installation.
INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
STEP #2
> Refer to Illustration 2 and install the test
switch through the ballast channel cover of a
troffer or through the side of a strip fixture.
> Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as
shown.
> Refer to the wiring diagrams on the
following pages and wire the test switch
so that it removes AC power from both the
emergency ballast and the AC ballast at the
same time.
STEP #3
INSTALLING THE CHARGING
INDICATOR LIGHT
> Refer to Illustration 3A or 3B and install the
charging indicator light so that it will be
visible after the fixture is installed.
STEP #4
WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the fixture.
> Select the appropriate wiring diagram and 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.
> To disable audible alarm, cut red/white wire loop. CAP ENDS.
> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.
It is normal for the indicator light to remain off for a few minutes on initial start-up, as the battery voltage rises
to normal range. Refer to Troubleshooting Guide if this condition persists. The inverter connector MUST be joined
for the AC ballast to operate normally.
> 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 PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED & YELLOW
Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of
power is required. The emergency ballast must be fed from the same branch circuit as
the AC ballast.
