Lightolier IS-EMBW User Manual
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING:
1. Turn off AC power before proceeding.
2. Be sure all electrical connections are complete and outlet box is closed before inverter connectors on emergency
pack are connected.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. Do not mount near gas or electrical heaters.
5. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed, rechargeable, no maintenance battery is used. Do not incinerate or
mutilate; may burst or release toxic materials. Do not short circuit; may cause burns. Battery acid can cause burns to
skin and eyes. If acid is spilled on skin or eyes, flush with fresh water and contact a physician immediately.
6. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at height where it will not be readily subject to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
7. The use of accessory equipment is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Do not use the equipment for other than intended use.
9. This unit has more than one power supply connection point. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both
the normal and the emergency power supplies before servicing.
10. Before servicing to prevent electrical shock, disconnect the inverter connectors on the emergency pack (located
inside the ballast housing). Make certain that the switch (if the luminaire is switched) and the unswitched lines to
the emergency pack are turned off at the fuse box. Servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.

B. OPERATION
When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated indicating that the battery is being charged.
When the power fails, the emergency lighting ballast automatically switches to emergency operation, keeping one
lamp illuminated at reduced output for 90 minutes.
C. 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 luminaire once every 3 months. One lamp should operate at reduced output.
3. Conduct a 90 minute discharge test at least once a year or more if required by local ordinance. One lamp should
operate at reduced output for 90 minutes.
