4

tampering by unauthorized personnel.

5. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by Sure-Lites may cause an unsafe condition.

6. Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.

7.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note 1. To prevent high voltage from being present on the output terminals (red/white, red, and yellow), do not connect the test button indicator light to

the EBP until Step 7 of the installation instructions.

Note 2. This product is for use with most 2’ through 8’ (13W-215W single and bipin fluorescent lamps including energy saving, circline, U-shaped and

biax. For specific lamp compatibility, please see the table later in the instructions.

Note 3. Make sure all of the connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.

Note 4. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and the test button indicator light (which

disconnects the battery) before servicing.

Note 5. This emergency ballast is for factory or field installation in the ballast channel.

Note 6. This product is for use in indoor fixtures. This product is not intended for use near air handling heated air outlets or in wet or hazardous locations.

Note 7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120, 240, or 277 volts).

Note 8. 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.

Note 9. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE ON RED / WHITE, RED, AND YELLOW OUTPUT TERMINALS PRIOR TO

INSTALLATION, THE TEST BUTTON / INDICATOR LIGHT MUST BE DISCONNECTED. CONNECT THE TEST BUTTON /
INDICATOR LIGHT AFTER INTSALLATION.

Note: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is required.
Step 1. Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast either in the

ballast channel (see illustrations 1 & 2) or on top of the fixture (see illustration 3 / EBP450X only).

Step 2. Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp. Make sure all

connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations. (See Illustrations 4 and
5 for terminals).

Step 4. Install the test button / indicator light through the ballast channel cover of a troffer (Illustration 1 & 6) or through the

side of a strip fixture (Illustration 2 & 7). Drill or punch a7/8” hole to install the test button / indicator light as shown in
illustration 6. Drill or punch a 1/2” hole to install the test button / indicator light as shown in illustration 7. Install the test
button / indicator light as shown in the selected illustration. Apply the two included labels (“Charging Indicator Light”
and “Emergency Light Push to Test”) adjacent to the test button indicator light.

Step 5. In a readily visible location, attach the included 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 the Test
Button / Indicator Light Before Servicing”.

Step 6. In an area readily visible during relamping, attach the included relamping label. Write in the lamp type and wattage.

Step 7. After installation is complete, connect the test button / indicator light, supply AC power to the emergency ballast, and

replace covers while being careful not to pinch wires.

Step 8. 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.

OPERATION:

When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating the battery is being charged. When
power fails, the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power, operating one lamp at reduced
illumination for at least 90 minutes.

MAINTENANCE:

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast functional, it should be checked
periodically to comply with local codes. The following schedule is recommended:

Step 1. Visually inspect the charging light monthly. It should be illuminated

Step 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.

Step 3. Conduct a 90 – minute discharge test once a year. One lamp should operate at reduced illumination for at least

90 minutes.

Refer any service requirements indicated by these checks to qualified personnel.

Note: After installing the test button / indicator light, mark it with the appropriate label.
