Emergency Bypass Load Controller EREB
Overview
The Emergency Bypass Load Controller (EREB) is powered by an
emergency source to provide power to emergency lighting loads. The
EREB ensures the emergency lighting is on during loss of circuit power,
and also tracks the state of controlled lighting loads during normal
operation. The EREB ensures a "lights on" override by using a normally
closed emergency contact closure that interfaces with fire alarm and
emergency systems.
The EREB is available in two models to provide installation options: Power
Pack EREB-AP and DIN rail EREB-AD.
Power Pack: EREB-AP
This document covers installation of all the EREB models. The product
package includes the controller and lock nut for the EREB-AP model.
