INSTALLATION
1. De-energize the circuit at the junction box (J-box) where
the emergency light is to be installed.
2. Open the emergency light by inserting a screwdriver in the
two slots at the bottom of the unit, then tipping the cover
up off of the backplate.
3. To mount to a junction box - Drill out the appropriate
mounting pattern and the wire pass hole in the backplate
to fit the J-box being used.
4. To mount to conduit – Cut out the U shaped knockout on
the cover using snips, then attach the 1/2” conduit hub to
the backplate.
5. Once the backplate is secured, the housing can be held in
place during installation using the EZ Hang feature. (see
Fig. 1)
6. Connect the incoming wires to the fixture’s power supply
wires using the wire nuts provided. Connect the white
wire to neutral. If using 120V, connect the black wire to the
hot lead. If using 277V, connect the orange wire to the hot
lead. Cap the unused lead. Secure the emergency light
to the wall and/or junction box using installer supplied
hardware.
7. Connect the battery to the PCB. See schematic for detail.
8. Snap the cover onto the backplate.
