Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and inverter
connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.
This emergency ballast is for factory or field installation.
This product is suitable for damp locations where the ambient temperature is 0°C minimum, +50°C
maximum. Product is not suitable for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations.
An unswitched AC power source is required (120 or 277 VAC, 60 Hz).
Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
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.
The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this product for other than intended use.
Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON YELLOW/BLACK &
YELLOW 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.
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
STEP #1
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture. > Refer to illustration below to install the emergency ballast and test/monitor plate. Make electrical
connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations. The test/monitor plate may be
installed close to the fixture in the ceiling or at a remote location (up to 50 feet). The emergency ballast may be
remotely installed up to 1/2 the distance the AC ballast manufacturer recommends remoting the AC ballast from
the lamp, or up to 50 feet, whichever is less. If no AC ballast is used, the emergency ballast can be remotely
mounted up to 50 feet away. Note: A switch box is not supplied.

STEP #2
– Flexible conduit (supplied) to connect ballast wires.
– Existing conduit to run existing wires to lamp holder (AC ballast on junction box). If AC ballast is on reflector, run yellow, yellow/black, blue/white and blue wires from emergency ballast through this conduit.
3
– AC line in.
4
– Conduit and junction box (not supplied), necessary for remote installation.
WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> See back page for detailed wiring schematics. The emergency ballast can be used with one- or two- lamp
fixtures, and operates one or two lamps in the emergency mode.
> Cut fixture wire between the lamp holder and AC ballasts and connect the blue and blue/white emergency ballast wires to the AC ballast and the yellow and yellow/black wires to the lamp holder.
> On switched fixtures, an additional unswitched hot (120 or 277 VAC) wire must be run to the junction box
and connected to the emergency ballast.
> Connect LED by matching violet and brown leads. For optional tabbed LED, connect violet lead to positive
(+) tab (marked). For Illuminated Test Switch (ITS) connect as shown on wiring diagrams by matching
violet and brown leads and connecting the black leads to the emergency ballast white and white/black
wires.
> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.

INSTALLATION
STEP #3
EMERGENCY BALLAST QUICK CHECK AND LABELING
> For short-term testing of the emergency function, the battery must be charged for at least two hours. The
emergency ballast must be charged for at least 24 hours before conducting a long-term test.
> 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), providing at least
90 minutes of emergency lighting. This emergency ballast will operate one or two 10 W or 13 W lamps for a minimum of
120 minutes.
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.
2.
3.
Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. One or two lamps should operate at reduced illumination.
Conduct a full length discharge test once a year. One or two lamps should operate at reduced illumination for at least the rated duration.
! REFER ANY SERVICING INDICATED BY THESE CHECKS TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL !

EMERGENCY BALLAST AND AC BALLAST MUST BE FED FROM THE SAME BRANCH CIRCUIT
TYPICAL SCHEMATICS ONLY. MAY BE USED WITH OTHER BALLASTS. CONSULT THE FACTORY FOR OTHER WIRING DIAGRAMS.
