NOTE:
Field installable battery pack for
one lamp emergency operation of 2'-4'
(including
U-lamps),
T8-T-12
and
long
compact (4-pin) lamps (17W -40W lamps).
Compatible with electronic T8 and magnetic
T12 ballasts.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1.READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at fuse
or circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect Test
Switch/Pilot Light connector before servicing.
The PSQ500 can be used with a switched or unswitched
(night) circuit. When used with a switched fixture it is
important to note that the power to the PSQ500 Battery
Pack must be provided by an unswitched circuit.
Make sure that the switched and unswitched sources are
derived from a common circuit.
4. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
5. Consult your local building code for approved wiring and
installation.
6. Do not use standard product outdoors. This product is
for use with indoor fixtures sealed or unsealed, except air
handling heated outlets or hazardous location applications. Battery packs with the DW option are UL listed for
installation (0o - 50oC ambient) in:
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1. Inspect PSQ500 and make sure the Test Switch/Pilot
Light connector
is not connected. If so, disconnect it
before installation.
Dry or damp locations, sealed or unsealed luminaries
2. Position unit in fixture wireway and fasten securely
through inverter housing mounting slots . If necessary,
drill holes and mount with screws (not provided).
Wet locations, only if installed in a sealed and/or
gasketed wet location listed luminaire.
3. Refer to appropriate wiring diagram. Connect unit to
ballast, lamp(s) and AC power leads as indicated in
appropriate wiring diagram.
Note: DW option does not make the product suitable for
mounting outside the fixture in wet location applications.
TEST SWITCH PILOT LIGHT (TSPL) INSTALLATION:
CAUTION: Do not locate Test Switch/Pilot Light or route cable
within 1” of fixture lamps.
NOTE: If pilot light is not visible through fixture lens when
energized and de-energized, the charge indicator sticker
located in the pre-pack should be placed on the smooth side of
the lens directly below the TSPL to identify it as an emergency
fixture.
4. Drill or punch a 1/2” diameter hole in fixture wall or
wireway cover.
5. Insert one side of the TSPL
into the hole from the back
firmly
and snap in the other side. Slide mounting clip
onto mounting post with the TSPL assembly secured in
place.
6. Connect the polarized Test Switch/Pilot Light connector
CAUTION: Connecting the Test Switch/Pilot Light connector
also connects the battery to the inverter circuit which can
result in high voltage being present between the RED &
BLUE output leads.
.
7. The emergency battery pack must be connected to an
unswitched AC power source (120 or 277).
8. Do not mount near gas or electric heater.
9. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed maintenance-free battery is used that is not field replaceable.
Contact manufacturer for service information.
10. Equipment should be mounted in location and at heights
where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
7. Apply continuous power to PSQ500.
CAUTION: A potential electrical hazard exists even when AC
power supply has been turned off. Disconnect polarized Test
Switch/Pilot Light connector before servicing fixture.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Emergency lighting systems should be tested as often
as local codes require, or at least monthly to insure that all
components are operational. Perform all tests (momentary/
monthly) required by local codes.
Complete Customer Satisfaction.This fixture is guaranteed to
perform to our customers’ complete satisfaction for a period of
three years from date of invoice. Our guarantee covers any
defect in manufacturing, provided the defect develops under
normal and proper use. This liability does not include lamps,
and extends only to replacement of the defective part. Labor
charges will be honored by the factory only with prior written
approval from our Post Sales Service Department.
1. Check equipment rating to be sure that fixture will receive proper
line voltage.
2. Engage test switch. The pilot light should turn off. One fluorescent
lamp should operate at a reduced light output.
3. Be sure pilot light is on. If pilot light does not operate, check to see
that:
a. Test Switch / Pilot Light connector is properly connected.
b. AC power is on.
c. Voltage on unswitched circuit to battery pack should be rated line
voltage (120V or 277V). If no line voltage can be measured, locate
problem in branch circuit and correct.
NOTE: PSQ500 inverters are not field serviceable units.
NOTE: Allow battery to charge 24 hours before initial testing
and 168 hours to fully charge battery.
CAUTION: Damage to battery will occur if the Test Switch/Pilot
Light is connected for a prolonged period of time without AC power
provided.
