! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. To prevent voltage from being present on output leads prior to installation, unit engage connector must be
open. Do not join unit engage connector until installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the
emergency driver.

2. This product is for use with an emergency LED lighting load and supplies nominaly 10.0 W of power, with
a voltage of 15-54 VDC in emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes, in compliance with NFPA-101 and
NEC 700.12.

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

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and unit engage
connector of the emergency driver before servicing.

5. This emergency driver is intended to be mounted and enclosed within a luminaire and is suitable for both
factory or field installation. For field installation, please see the instructions on page 2.

6. This product is suitable for use in damp locations where the ambient temperature is 0ºC minimum, +55ºC
maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. Product is not suitable
for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations. Maximum allowable case temp is 63ºC. See Page 4
for Tcase measurement location.

7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120-277 VAC, 50/60 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 field 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 qualified service personnel.

13. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not be subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.

14. For Canadian application the output terminals should be in compliance with the accessibility requirement of
the Canadian Electric Code.

15. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference that may
cause undesired operation.

16. This product must be grounded. See the wiring diagrams for details.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DO NOT JOIN UNIT ENGAGE CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS
SUPPLIED TO THE EMERGENCY DRIVER.

NOTE: 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 the AC driver.

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 four (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 driver. The forward
voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the luminaire markings, in the luminaire
specifications, or imprinted directly on the LED arrays. If multiple LED arrays are to be driven, verify that the total
forward voltage is within the limits of this product. Using a voltage meter, it may be possible to directly measure the
voltage across the LED arrays when operating from the AC driver.

3. Ensure the output current of the AC LED driver does not exceed 5.0 Amps. This is the current into the blue wire connector.

4. Ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application. Estimate the egress lighting illumination levels by
doing the following:

a. Find the efficacy of the LED load. This can be given by the luminaire manufacture. This number will be given in
lumens per watt (lm/w). It is the installer’s responsibility to validate the luminaire manufacturer’s efficacy data.
This can be accomplished by direct measurement, by review of independent 3rd party test data (UL, ETL, etc.),
accessing a public database of 3rd party data (such as Design Lights Consortium, www.designlights.org), or other
comparable means.
b. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the emergency LED driver by the efficacy of the LED
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.

Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Chosen Product

________________(Lumens)_ = __________________(lm/W)_* ________6______(W)_

C. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated
illumination levels in the path of egress.

NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads and is electrically compatible
with every simple LED array that meets criteria 1 and 2 above. However, compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all current
and future LED systems. Compatibility testing 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.

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 installation

instructions may provide guidance on the recommended mounting location.

> Mounting Height: Many factors influence emergency illumination levels, such as the lamp load selected, luminare

design, and environmental factors therefore end use verification is necessary. For field installations, when the attached
luminaire is mounted at heights greater than 7.17ft (2.2m), the level of illumination must be measured in the end
application to ensure the requirements of NFPA 101 and local codes are satisfied.

> Remote Mounting: The emergency LED driver may be remote mounted from the luminaire it enclosed and installed in

accordanance with the NEC. If used in conjunction with an AC driver the allowed 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, and
remote mounting more than 5 feet from the luminaire, please consult the factory to determine the necessary wire gauge.
CAUTION: Remote mounting can result in reduced power output.
