Safety Instructions for Luminaire
WARNING:
• Before installation, ensure that the unit complies with application Requirement. Refer to luminaire nameplate, located on exterior of
housing body, for of electrical and temperature ratings.
• Do not open or remove the luminaire with the circuit energized.
• Do not remove or replace fuse when luminaire is energized.
• Do not use luminaire on ungrounded systems. Failure to ground this luminaire can result in an electric shock, which may be fatal.
• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
• Use two safety cables for installations experiencing high vibrations.
• Supply wires are to be rated for minimum 90°C.
• Make sure to tighten unused close-up plugs after applying TLNC4 grease. TLNC4 grease shall be applied in 3 lines, spaced
approximately 120 degrees apart, perpendicular to the threads.
CAUTION:
• Do not look directly at the LEDs when energized.
• Disconnect the luminaire from the supply circuit before opening to reduce the risk of ignition of electrical hazards.
• Disconnect battery pack through quick disconnect while opening luminaire for servicing.
• Do not attempt to service the battery. The unit uses a sealed, Ni-MH battery which requires no maintenance. For replacement,
contact Customer Service.
• To avoid burning hands, allow luminaire to cool down prior to maintenance.
• Lens cleaning instructions: Wipe/clean from the outside only with a moist cloth. (Beware of electrostatic charges.)
NOTICE:
• Do not touch the LEDs; touching could leave oily deposits, causing hot spots and potential premature failure.
• The LED lens should be cleaned periodically from the outside only with a moist cloth to maintain lighting efciency.
• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• This luminaire is designed for and should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code®/Canadian Electrical Code
and all applicable local codes.
• This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a person familiar with the construction and
operation of the product and hazards involved.
• Do not use this equipment for anything other than its intended use.
• This luminaire is provided with a factory installed emergency lighting battery pack.
Applications/Intended Use
• Areas of low clearance, low ceiling heights, or where luminaire weights must be minimized.
• Non-hazardous locations where severe weather conditions, excessive moisture, dirt, dust, corrosive atmospheres, and high
ambient temperatures are encountered.
• Where exible cord is used, it should be approved for extra hard, wet location usage and shall have a separate ground conductor.
• Luminaire is suitable for mounting height as per table-1 to meet 1 Foot-Candle requirement during emergency operation.
WARNING: The luminaire must be grounded as required by the National Electrical Code (Paragraph 410.21 and Article 250) or
Canadian Electrical Code (Rule 30-500 and Section 10). Verify that ground continuity has been established by using an Ohm meter or
other suitable testing equipment before energizing the luminaire. Failure to properly ground the luminaire will create an electric shock
hazard, which can cause serious injury or death.
Please use supply wires with temperature rating 90°C or above.
Wiring the Rigmaster™ Emergency Battery Back-up LED Luminaire
For Luminaire Series with Wire Nut Option
1. Make sure power is Switched off before wiring the luminaire.
2. A. Wiring with Multi-conductor Cable: Strip the cable outer jacket as required. Strip the insulation of individual wire by
approximately 10 mm (0.4 in)
B. Wiring with Individual Wires: Strip the insulation of individual wire by approximately 10 mm (0.4 in)
3. For standard Wiring:
A. Connect electrical power supply leads to the wire conductors coming out of wiring compartment (Right hand side of the
Box) with the help of wire nuts supplied with luminaire. For Wiring diagram refer to one of the gures from Figure 7A, Figure
7B, Figure 7C, & Figure 7D in conjunction with section ‘Wiring Methods’ as applicable.
B. After completing the wiring, insert wire nuts in wiring compartment through the Conduit / Cable entry hole and assemble
the Conduit.
4. For Through Feed Wiring:
A. Open the luminaire wiring compartment by loosening the eight captive screws on cover. Allow the cover to swing open,
enabling access to the wiring compartment. See Figure 5.
B. Connect electrical power supply leads to the wire conductors coming out of wiring compartment (Right hand side of the
Box) with the help of wire nuts supplied with luminaire.
C. Connect electrical power supply leads to the wire conductors Placed in left hand side wiring compartment with the help
of wire nuts supplied with luminaire. For Wiring diagram refer one of the gures from Figure 8A, Figure 8B, Figure 8C, &
Figure 8D in conjunction with section ‘Wiring Methods’ as applicable.
D. After completing the wiring, insert wire nuts in wiring compartment through the Conduit / Cable entry hole.
E. Check all connections for continuity and ground integrity and close the luminaire wiring compartment cover.
F. Tighten the eight captive screws by applying a torque of 2.25 N.m (20 Lb.in) using the sequence shown as in Figure 11.
Make sure wires do not pinch between cover and wiring compartment when closing.
5. Apply TLNC4 grease on plugs (3 supplied) in 3 lines, spaced approximately 120 degrees apart, perpendicular to the threads.
