INSTALLATION

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED & YELLOW 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:
STEP #1
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast
either in the ballast channel or on top of the fixture.* Remote mounting distance must be less than half the
maximum remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC ballast manufacturer before remote
installation.
> Depending on the type of fixture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.

Inside Ballast Channel
* For installation on top of the fixture, wire bundle covers (RMC-LP) may be required by state or local codes. These covers are available
from the manufacturer as an accessory kit and must be ordered separately. Call your local distributor or the factory for complete information.
STEP #2
INSTALLING THE ILLUMINATED TEST SWITCH
> Drill a 3/8" hole and install the test switch (e.g. through the side of a surface mounted fixture).
> Refer to the illustrations below and wire the test switch so that it removes AC power from both the
emergency ballast and the AC ballast at the same time.
> If wired correctly, the ITS indicator light should be ON when AC power is supplied to the fixture, indicating
that the emergency ballast battery is charging. After installing, mark with the "PUSH TO TEST" and
"CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT" labels.

branch circuit as the AC ballast.
