LED Luminaire Evaluation

This product is suitable for field installation with suitable LED loads including LED luminaires, DC voltage
driven LED replacements for fluorescent lamps and others. There are 4 checks to determine if your luminaire
is eligible for field installation.
1. Ensure the LED load's rated power is greater than or equal to the power output of this emergency LED
driver. This is to ensure that this emergency product will not produce more power than the LED load can
handle, thus ensuring that the LED load will not be damaged when the system is in the emergency mode.
2. Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire's LED array is within the limits of this emergency LED
voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the
driver. The forward
luminaire markings, in the luminaire
a voltage meter, it may be possible to directly measure the
from the AC driver.
3. Ensure the output current of the LED driver does not exceed 3Amps.This is the current into the blue
wire. (See electrical data table)

load. In many cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than this
calculation gives, however it will provide a good estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.
C. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the
a nticipated illumination levels in the path of egress.

NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads. . However,
compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all current
of. the end-use system is suggested. Please contact the factory with any questions.
NOTE: After installation, it will be necessary to measure the egress lighting illumination levels to ensure it
complies with national, state, and local code requirements.
Make sure the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched
source of power is required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same
branch circuit as
Installation of this emergency LED driver will vary based on the luminaire type, however, generally
follow these steps:
STEP 1 INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY DRIVER
> Disconnect AC power from the LED luminaire.
Mount the emergency LED driver by the mounting tabs using the supplied screws. The luminaire's
>
installaion instructions may provide guidance on the recommended mounting location.
> The emergency driver with cable conduit is suitable for remote mounting from the luminaire; the emergency driver
without cable conduit is not suitable for remote mounting.
If used in conjunction with an AC driver, this distance is up to half the distance the AC driver manufacturer
recommends remote mounting the AC driver from the LED Load. If used without an AC driver, consult
factory for remote mounting distances .
