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

4. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both
normal and emergency power supplies and the test button
indicator light (which disconnects the battery) before
servicing. Insuring the battery disconnect is securely in
place also prevents battery powered operation.

5. These emergency ballasts can be field or factory installed
depending on version. See mounting section for details.

6. This product is for use in indoor fixtures only. Do NOT
use near heated air handling outlets, wet locations or
hazardous locations.

7. An un-switched AC power source is required. (120 - 277
volts 50/60 HZ) for proper operation.

8. Do not attempt to service the battery. The sealed,
no-maintenance battery is not field replaceable. Contact
the manufacturer for information on service.

9. All maintenance should be performed by qualified service
personnel.

FEATURES

This emergency battery pack (EBP) includes extra features
which enhance its operation and maintainability.

1. Patented EZ key battery disconnect: When the EZ key is
inserted into the test button, the battery is disconnected.
This feature prevents unnecessary cycling of the battery
during the construction process. It can also be used if the
room is decommissioned for an extended period of time to
prevent the batteries from being over discharged.

2. Patent pending Test Button / Indicator Light / Laser Input:
The test button houses the EZ key, powers the indicator
light, contains the laser input for testing and functions as
the mechanical test button. Integration of these functions
improves performance and fixture aesthetics.

Ni -Cd

3. Power controlled output: This feature maintains consistent
light output during the entire 90 minutes of emergency
operation ensuring there is no drop in lumen output as the
battery voltage drops.

INSTALLATION

1. Mounting The EBP can be mounted inside a fixture channel,
on the back of a fixture, or near the fixture. The flex conduit
should be connected to a junction enclosure which allows
access to the wiring connections for grounding.
(Note: EBP assemblies without conduit must be factory
installed in the wireway of the fixture).

2. Wiring Refer to the block diagram below for the wiring of the
LED load, AC driver, and AC power.
The unswitched AC power for the EBP and the power for the
AC driver should be from the same branch circuit to prevent
disconnecting 2 sources of power and the battery during
servicing.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the
emergency LED driver functional, it should be checked periodically
to verify proper operation. Follow any applicable local or national
codes. The following schedule is the minimum required to meet
NFPA 101 standards:

1. Visually inspect that the charging light is illuminated

monthly.

2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture monthly for a
minimum of 30 seconds. Perform the test by pressing the
test button / indicator light for 30 seconds or aiming a laser
pointer at the clear test button. The LED load should operate
at the rated output.
(Note: The laser test will not trigger if the ambient light is
too high. The light must be switched off in fixtures where
the test button is in close proximity to the light, or the test
will need to be triggered mechanically)

3. Conduct a 90 minute discharge test annually by
disconnecting the unswitched power. The LED load should
operate at the rated output for at least 90 minutes.

4. Keep written records of testing

Refer any service requirements indicated by these
checks to qualified personnel.

3. Mounting the Test Button / Indicator Light / Laser Input
Mount the Test Button / Indicator Light / Laser Input so the
indicator light is visible once the fixture is installed. Proper
mounting is required for accessibility and functionality of the
laser input testing feature and EZ key battery disconnect.

OPERATION

Once AC power is permanently applied to the blue wire of the
fixture remove the EZ key and store it for later use. When AC
power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated,
indicating the battery is being charged. When the power fails, the
emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power,
operating its LED load at the rated output for at least 90 minutes.

NOTE: The battery is not fully charged until 24 hours after the AC
power is applied.
