INTRODUCTION
This bulletin contains instructions for installing and wiring an Emergency Lighting Control Panel (ELCP).
The ELCP is specifically designed to contain UL924-listed Automatic Load Control Relays (ALCR) for
use with emergency lighting control in accordance with NEC.
The ELCP is positioned between emergency and regular power panelboards. The regular panelboard
provides power to the ELCP for monitoring a building's voltage, while the emergency panelboard
provides power through a relay contact and controls egress lighting. The design of the ALCR and ELCP
maintains isolation between emergency and regular building power.
When a building's power is in a regular power state, the egress lighting turns ON and OFF with the
regular lighting in the facility. In an emergency state, the ELCP controlling the egress lighting turns ON
automatically and waits for back-up power from a generator or emergency source.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
ELCPs are ordered based on the enclosure mounting location (surface or flush), the number of ALCRs,
and the voltage used by the panel mounted devices (120V or 277V).

D. 1 = 120V, 2 = 277V
Each shipment contains one enclosure with 6 to 24 panel mounted devices (SLSEPMC 120 or
SLSEPMC277) and this instruction bulletin.
NOTE: ELCPs are available for order with an even number of ALCRs, ranging from 6 to 24 ALCRs.
