1: If not using ELCTB Remote Test Button (sold separately), switching methods should be rated for at least 24Vdc. External
voltage should not be supplied to this input. No specific current rating is required.
2: To maintain Class 2, a maximum of 45 total test inputs can be wired in parallel per ELCTB

OPERATION
The ELCR will activate an Emergency lighting load automatically upon
the loss of Normal Power. If Normal Power is absent, the status of the
load cannot be overridden. However, if the Normal Power is present,
the Emergency lighting load can be controlled by other means in order
to use it as a Normal Lighting load, depending on the wiring setup.
When used as Normal Lighting, a two second delay will keep the Load
on after Wall Switch is turned off, to perform a Self-Test on the unit.
When Normal Power is present, the N/O status contact will automatically
close. Therefore, when Normal Power is absent, the N/O status contact
will open (perfect for 0-10V dimming controls). The N/C contact will
operate opposite of N/O. A red LED indicates the Emergency Power is
available. A Green LED indicates that Normal Power is present. A Yellow
LED copies the status of the load; if the LED is on, the load is on.

STEPS
1. Remove all sources of power.
2. Remove ballast channel cover.
3. Mount ELCR as shown in Figures A and B.
4. Wire the ELCR using an illustration from the "Typical
Applications" section on page 3 or similar setups for
different application.
5. Before applying power, review the Important Safeguards
at the beginning of this document.
6. Finish installation as required by the NEC, NFPA, state,
local, and other codes. Test the ELCR using the "Test
Procedure" on page 4.
MAINTENANCE
No routine maintenance is required for the
ELCR. Occasionally, this device should be tested
to ensure that it works correctly in accordance
with national and local codes.
