EMERGENCY LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. To prevent high voltage from being present on red & 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.
2. This product is for use with 21 through 54 W (2'- 4') T5 or 32 W (4') T8 fluorescent lamps.
3. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and inverter
connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.
5. This emergency ballast is for factory or field installation in the ballast channel or on top of fixture.
6. This product is suitable for use in damp locations where the ambient temperature is 0ºC minimum, +50ºC
maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. Product is not suitable for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations.
7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120 or 277 VAC, 60 Hz).
8. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
9. 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.
10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
11. Do not use this product for other than intended use.
12. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also identified as suitable for
use with this inverter/charger pack.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY.
THE BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED & 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.
STEP #1
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY
BALLAST
ILLUSTRATION 1
>Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast in the ballast channel (see Illustration 1).
>Remote mounting distance must be less than half the maximum remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC
ballast manufacturer before remote
installation.
STEP #2
INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
>Refer to Illustration 2 and install the test
switch through the ballast channel cover of
a troffer or through the side of a strip
fixture.
ILLUSTRATION 2
Fixture
>Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as shown.
>Refer to the wiring diagrams on the
following pages and wire the test switch
so that it removes AC power from both the
emergency ballast and the AC ballast at the
same time.

INSTALLATION
STEP #4
WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
>Select the appropriate wiring diagram and connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s). Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
>After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.
>At this point, power should be connected to both the AC ballast and the emergency ballast, and the
Charging Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
>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.
> 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), operating one
lamp at reduced illumination. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast returns to the charging mode and delays
AC ballast operation for approximately three seconds to prevent false-tripping of AC ballast (end-of-lamp-life) shutdown
circuits. This emergency ballast will operate one 21 through 54 W (2'- 4') T5 or 32 W (4') T8 lamps for a minimum of
90 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 lamp should operate at reduced illumination.
Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. One lamp should operate at reduced illumination for at least
90 minutes.
! 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.
