1. MOUNTING THE I-13-EM-A
When used with ceiling mounted downlight fixtures, the I-13-EM-A should be mounted on the fixture above the
ceiling. The flex conduit marked “A” should be wired into the ballast/lamp compartment or to an electrical junction box on the fixture which allows access to the ballast/lamp connections. Refer to Illustration 1 for typical mounting.
When battery packs are remote mounted, consult Customer Service for the maximum allowable distance between
the battery pack and the lamp.

Cut a single gang switch box into the ceiling tile adjacent to the fixture within reach of the I-13-EM-A flex
marked “B”. After mounting the switch box, connect flex “B” to the box and route all leads inside the box. Refer to Illustration 1 for typical mounting. Connect the leads to the components as follows:
Red/Black or Red lead w/connector (+) Charge light terminal
Wht/Red lead (–) Charge light terminal White Test switch *Wht/Blk lead Unit connector White/Black *Wht/Blk lead Unit connector
* To prevent electrical shock and unintentional battery discharge, do not join the unit connector until the installation
is complete.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation, use only the test accessories provided with the unit. See Page 1 of the Instruc-
tion Manual.
