Emergency Lighting Equipment

1. 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.

2. This product is for use with most 2' through 8' (17 W - 215 W) single pin or bipin uorescent lamps,

including standard, energy saving, HO, VHO, circline, U-shaped and rapid-start (4-pin) long compact

uorescent lamps.

3. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and

inverter connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.

5. This emergency ballast is for factory or eld installation in either the ballast channel or on top of the

xture.

6. This product is suitable for use in damp locations where the ambient temperature is 0ºC minimum,

+50ºC maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed xtures.

Product is not suitable for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations.

7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120 through 277 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz).

8. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.

9. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed, no-maintenance battery is used that is not eld

replaceable. Contact the manufacturer for information on service.

10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

11. Do not use this product for other than intended use.

12. Servicing should be performed by qualied service personnel.

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: Make sure 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.

STEP #1 INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

> Disconnect AC power from the xture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast

either in the ballast channel or on top of the xture.* 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 xture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.

STEP #2 INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH

> Refer to the illustrations above and install the test switch

through the ballast channel cover of a troffer or through the

side of a strip xture.

> Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as shown.

> Refer to the diagrams on page 4 and wire the test switch so

that it removes AC power from the unswitched hot line to the

emergency ballast.

* For installation on top of the xture, wire bundle covers (RMC-60) 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 #3 INSTALLING THE CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT

> Install the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT as shown in the illustration on the next page so that it will be visible

after the xture is installed.

NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label.

INSTALLATION

During normal operation AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the battery is

being charged. When power fails, the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery),

operating either one or two lamps for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast returns

to the charging mode and delays AC ballast operation for three seconds to prevent false-tripping of AC ballast (end-of-lamp-

life) shutdown circuits.

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast functional, it should be checked periodically to

ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.

2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. One or two

lamps should operate at reduced illumination.

3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. One or two lamps should operate at reduced

illumination for at least 90 minutes.

! REFER ANY SERVICING INDICATED BY THESE CHECKS TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL !

OPERATION

STEP #4 WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the xture.

> Select the appropriate wiring diagram on back to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s).

Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.

> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.

> At this point, power should be connected to both the AC ballast and the emergency ballast, and the Charging

Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.

> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency ballast has been charging for one hour. Charge

for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.

> In a readily visible location, attach the label "CAUTION - This Unit Has More Than One Power Connection Point.

To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And Emergency

Power Supplies Before Servicing."

MAINTENANCE

WIRING DIAGRAMS
