Prior to Installation

1. Install rough-in section as detailed on sepa­rate instruction sheet.

2. Determine line voltage to fixture (switched
and unswitched power requirements)

.

3. Verify correct ballast/lamp combination.

Installation

1. Pivot emergency ballast assembly onto mount­ing rails of rough-in section as shown in Fig­ure 1. Make any necessary vertical adjust­ments to assure that the bottom of the rough­in section is flush or slightly above (1/8" max.)
the ceiling line.

2. Make emergency ballast assembly and test
switch/pilot light connection by plugging the
two connectors together (see Figure 2).

3. Push wires and connectors into opening of
test switch/pilot light box fastened to reflec­tor. Install flex connector into box making sure
that flex is oriented in direction of arrow (see
Figure 3).

WARNING

- Risk of fire. Do not install insula­tion within 3 inches of fixture sides or wiring
compartment, nor above the fixture in such
a manner as to entrap heat.

1. Electric current can cause painful shock
or serious injury unless handled properly.
For your safety, always remember the fol-
lowing:

· Turn off the power supply.

· Ground the fixture to avoid potential

electrical shocks.

· Do not handle an energized fixture or
energize any fixture with wet hands,
when standing on a wet or damp sur­face, or in water.

· Double check all electrical connections
to be sure they are tight and correct.

2. Specific safety information concerning
lamps:

· Match wattage of fixture and lamp ex­actly.

· Do not remove or insert lamp when power
is on.

· Do not scratch glass or subject lamp to
undue pressure as either may cause
lamp breakage.

· Protect operating lamp from sources
of moisture.

IMPORTANT: When connectors are plugged to-

gether, the fixture circuit is completed. If
power to fixture is turned off, the batteries
inside the emergency ballast assembly will
discharge. Frequent power interruptions may
result in premature failure of the batteries.

IMPORT ANT : After power has been turned on, al-

low batteries inside emergency ballast as-
sembly to charge for 24 hours. Install appro-
priate lamp(s) into lampholder(s) and test by
either pressing the test switch or turning the
power off (one lamp will be illuminated). Each
time both the switched and unswitched power
supplies are turned off the emergency bal-
last assembly will discharge. If done fre-
quently the batteries inside the emergency
ballast will fail prematurely and emergency
ballast assembly will have to be serviced or
replaced.
