INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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) T5, T8, T9, T10 and T12 single pin
or bipin fluorescent lamps, including energy saving, circline, U-shaped and rapid-start (4-pin) long
compact fluorescent 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 field installation.

6. This product is suitable for damp locations where the ambient temperature is +5°C minimum,
+50°C maximum. Not suitable for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations.

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

8. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.

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

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

11. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

CAUTION: Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also identified as
suitable for use with this inverter/charger pack.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED AND 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: Before installing the emergency ballast, make sure that 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.

1. Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Install the emergency ballast either on top of the fixture (see Illustration

1) or remote from the fixture up to 1/2 the distance the AC ballast manufacturer recommends remoting the AC
ballast from the lamp, or up to 50 feet, whichever is less (see Illustration 2).

2. Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp. Make sure
all connections are in accorance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.

3. Install the test switch/indicator light through the ballast channel cover of a troffer or through the side of a strip
fixture. Drill a 3/8" hole and install the test switch/indicator light as shown (see Illustration 3). Wire the test switch
so that it removes AC power from both the emergency ballast and the AC ballast at the same time (see wiring
diagrams).

4. In a readily visible location on the fixture, attach the label "CAUTION-This Unit Has More Than One Power Con-

nection Point. To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And
Emergency Power Supplies Before Servicing."

NOTE: After installing the test switch/indicator light, mark with the appropriate label.

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

6. 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.

OPERATION

When 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, operating either one or two
lamps for at least 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast returns to the charging mode and
delays AC ballast operation for approximately three seconds to prevent false-tripping of AC ballast (end-of-lamp-life
shutdown circuits.

MAINTENANCE

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. Either one or two
lamps should operate for the duration of the test.

3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. Either one or two lamps should operate for at least
90 minutes.

4. The life expectancy of the battery is 7 to 10 years.

REFER ANY SERVICING INDICATED BY THESE CHECkS TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
