FLUORESCENT EMERGENCY BALLAST
4 HOUR EMERGENCY OPERATION
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC
! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !
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 16 W through 40 W (2' -4') T8, T9, T10, or T12 (including T12 HO)
uorescent lamps, 18 W through 28 W (4-pin) twin, quad, and triple twin-tube, and 18 W through 39 W
rapid-start long compact 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 eld installation in either the ballast channel or on top of the
xture.
6. This product is for use in indoor xtures except air handling heated air outlets, and wet, damp, 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. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed, no-maintenance battery is used that is not eld
replaceable. Contact the manufacturer for information on service.
10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

WARNING: 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.
NOTE: Make sure 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.
STEP #1
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the xture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast either
in the ballast channel or on top of the xture.* Remote mounting distance must be less than half the maximum
remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC ballast manufacturer before remote installation.
> Depending on the type of xture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.
Inside Ballast Channel
INSIDE BALLAST CHANNEL INSIDE STRIP FIXTURE ON TOP OF FIXTURE
* For installation on top of the xture, wire bundle covers (RMC-60) may be required by state or local codes. These covers are
available from the manufacturer as an accessory kit and must be ordered separately. Call your local distributor or the factory for complete
information.
STEP #2
INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
Inside Strip Fixture
On Top of Fixture
> Refer to the illustrations above and install the test switch
through the ballast channel cover of a troffer or through the
side of a strip xture.
> Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as shown.
> Refer to the diagrams below and wire the test switch so that
it removes AC power from both the emergency ballast and the
AC ballast at the same time.

xture is installed.

NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label.
WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the xture.
> Select the appropriate wiring diagram on back to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s).
Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
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 (internal battery), operating one lamp at
reduced illumination. This emergency ballast will operate 16 W through 40 W lamps for a minimum of 4 hours.
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. One lamp should
operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. One lamp should operate at reduced illumination for a
minimum of 4 hours.
> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.
> At this point, power should be connected to both the AC ballast and the emergency ballast, and the Charging
Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
> 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.
> In a readily visible location, attach the label "CAUTION - This Unit Has More Than One Power Connection Point.
To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And Emergency
Power Supplies Before Servicing."
