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. Install the emergency ballast
as shown. Remote mounting distance must be less than half the
maximum remote mounting distance of the AC ballast. Consult
AC ballast manufacturer before remote installation.
INSTALLING THE ITS ON WALL PLATE OR
STEP #2a
FIXTURE SURFACE
> 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, indicatingthat
the emergency ballast battery is charging. After installing,
mark with the "PUSH TO TEST" and "CHARGING INDICATOR
LIGHT" labels.
INSTALLING THE ITS ON THE BALLAST
STEP #2b
CHANNEL COVER
> Drill or punch a 7/8 inch hole in ballast channel cover and
insert bushing.
> Slide the ITS tube up or down to adjust the height and vis-
ibility of the charging indicator light.
> If the tube is too long, cut the plastic tubing to necessary
length.
> After cutting the tube to the proper length, assemble the
ITS. To assemble the ITS:
> Remove the washer and hex nut from the ITS.
> Place the strain relief bushing on the wires back from the tip
of the switch approximately the length of the plastic tube.
> Feed the switch through the plastic tubing and seat the
tapered end of the strain relief bushing into the tubing.
The threaded end of the switch should protrude slightly
from the plastic tubing. If the threaded end of the switch
is not extending beyond the end of the plastic tubing or is
protruding too far, reposition the strain relief bushing until
you achieve the desired result.
> Place the washer and hex nut back on the switch and
tighten.
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.
