EMERGENCY LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC
! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. To prevent high voltage from being present on red, yellow & yellow/black 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 one 13 W through 42 W (4-pin) compact fluorescent lamp without integral starters.
3. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian 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 field installation inside or on top of the fixture.
6. This product is suitable for damp locations where the ambient temperature is -20°C minimum, +55°C
maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. Product is not suitable
for heated air outlets and wet 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 field replaceable.
Contact the manufacturer for information on service.
10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
11. Do not use this product for other than intended use.
12. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also identified as suitable for
use with this inverter/charger pack.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION
WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED, YELLOW & YELLOW/
BLACK 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 that 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
STEP #2
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture.
> Refer to illustrations below to install emergency ballast. Note: These are only examples of possible installations.
Inside Ballast Channel
INSIDE BALLAST CHANNEL
* For installation on top of the fixture, 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.
INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
> Drill a 1/2" hole and install the test switch (e.g. through
the side of a surface mounted fixture).
> Refer to the illustrations 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.

WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the fixture.
> Select the appropriate wiring diagram on back to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s).
Make electrical connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and any local
regulations.
> 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."
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 one 13 W through 42 W lamp for a minimum of 90 minutes. When
AC power is restored, the normal ballast operation is delayed by approximately three (3) seconds to prevent false tripping
of AC ballast (end-of-lamp-life) shutdown circuit. The temperature control circuitry assures the proper charging current and
battery protection under the full allowable ambient temperature range.
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 at least
90 minutes.
