INSTRUCTION MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION – To prevent electrical shock, do not mate unit connector until installation is complete and A.C. power is supplied to the unit.
2. CAUTION – This fixture provides more than one power supply output source. To reduce the risk of electri­cal shock, disconnect both normal and emergency sources by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by disconnecting the unit connector.
4. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The FPS-HL is for use with grounded, UL Listed, indoor fixtures except in heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
5. The FPS-HL requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Properly cap the unused A.C. lead.
6. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
7. The FPS-HL should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
8. The FPS-HL mounts on top of the fixture or adjacent to the fixture on an optional T-bar mounting bracket.
9. The FPS-HL will cold strike and operate
circline, T8 through T12 fluorescent lamps, including energy saving and long 4 pin compact lamps for 90 minutes.
10. The FPS-HL operates lamps as follows:
One 2′–8′, or two 2′–4′ lamps for 90 minutes at reduced light output. One 2′–4′ lamp for 90 minutes at full light output.
11. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
12. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
13. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
14. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
15. Lighting fixture manufacturers, electricians and end users need to ensure product system compatibility before final installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain the A.C. power is off and the FPS-HL unit connector is disconnected.
1. LAMPS OPERATED
The FPS-HL can be used with most 2′–8′ lamps. Refer to the chart below for the type of lamp(s) operated and the number of lamps to be operated in emergency mode. Contact Customer Service with questions about specific lamps.

*The lamp programming wires each have a 3 position shorting P-nut connector. Select the proper wire combination from the chart above for the desired lamp(s) used. Cut and strip one of the selected wires (3/8″) and plug it into the P-nut of the second wire.
2. MOUNTING THE FPS-HL
Remove the ballast channel cover. Mount the FPS-HL on the fixture top in a position that does not interfere with the existing A.C. ballast or any other hardware. Extend the flex conduit to a convenient location on top of the fixture and punch a 7/8″ hole. Feed the wires and flex connector down through the hole in the fixture and secure in place with the flex connec­tor nut. An optional T-bar mounting kit is available to mount the FPS-HL above the ceiling tile adjacent to the emergency fixture. To order the optional T-bar mounting kit (part number TBMK-160) contact Customer Service.
When battery packs are remote mounted, the remote distance can not exceed 1/2 of the distance from ballast to lamp specified by the A.C. ballast manufacturer. For example, if the A.C. ballast manufacturer recommends no more than 25 remote distance, then the battery pack should not exceed 121/2′. Under no circumstances should the battery pack exceed a distance of 50′ from the lamp.
3. WIRING
Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the appropriate wiring of lamp(s) and ballast. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. For additional wiring diagrams consult Customer Service.

hole (1/2″ knockout). Insert the 7/8″ bushing into the hole. Push the plastic tube through the bushing. Disconnect the leads from the LED housing and route the leads down the plastic tube. Reconnect the leads to the housing, observing the proper polarity (Red lead to positive (+) red tab). Push the entire assembly back into the tube until the lens collar rests against the plastic tube. The plastic tube should be adjusted so that the Charge Indicator is within ¼″ of the fixture lens. The Charge Indicator must be visible after installation. Refer to

tion. Allow for proper clearance inside the fixture and drill or punch a 1/2″ hole. Disconnect the leads from the LED housing. Push the LED housing into the 1/2″ hole until it is firmly locked in place. Reconnect the leads, observing the proper polarity (Red lead to positive (+) red tab). Refer to

7. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the Test Switch and Charge Indicator. Annotate Re-lamping label for lamp type and wattage. The Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone attempting to service the fixture.
8. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the FPS-HL unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The FPS-HL is in the standby charging mode. The Charge Indicator will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The FPS-HL senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the

TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge before conducting a one hour test.
The FPS-HL is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, outlines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the Test Switch. One lamp or two lamps should operate at full or reduced output, depending on your configuration.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1
as intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Consult Customer Service for current warranty information.
