2. INSTALLATION

CAUTION: To prevent high voltage on red

& yellow output leads prior to installation,
inverter connector must be open. Join inverter

connector after installation, then turn power

ON.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
disconnect the AC input and inverter before
servicing.
The emergency ballast must be connected to
an unswitched power source (120/277 V).

NOTE: All installations must comply with the
applicable local and/or National Electrical
Code.

IMPORTANT: Before installing, check the

1. Install splice box per Instruction Sheet K0451
supplied with the product.

2. Refer to Fig.1 for general guidance. Hang the
xture on the splice box hinge.

3. Attach the green (ground) lead to the splice

box ground screw (provided).

4. For VEB/DEB Series connect the supply

common lead to marked “COM” & supply
line voltage hot lead (120 or 277) to marked
“LINE” at the terminal block. For VEQ series
connect the supply common lead to marked
“COM” & supply line voltage hot lead to
marked “LINE” at the terminal block.

5. Mount the lamps on socket supplied with the
xture.

6. Join the emergency ballast(s) inverter
connector(s) as shown in Fig.2.

7. Close the ballast tank against the splice box
and tighten the screw to secure it.

8. Install globe or refractor in the globe thread.
Hand tighten.

9. Install globe guard (if required) over lugs on
ballast tank, turn until stopped. Secure with
screw.

10. To install reectors, back out (4) screws
provided in ballast tank boxes enough to
slip the reector over the screws and twist in
place. Tighten screws to secure reector.

11. Turn ON the supply circuit to operate the
xture.

NOTE: For push to test station installation
use Killark control station catalog number
FXCS_5B2 (e/push to test nameplate) or
equivalent. Refer to Fig.3 for typical wiring
diagram.
