out put leads (red & yellow).
3. This device is designed for use with 17W–110W single pin or bipin fluorescent lamps, from
2’ through 8’. Please use energy-saving circline, U-shaped, or 4-pin rapid start long compact
fluorescent lamps.
4. Please ensure the electricity connections conforms to the National Electrical Code and local
regulations if applicable.
5. To avoid electric shock, please disconnect normal and emergency power supplies, and battery
connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.
6. This device is designed for factory or field installation in either the ballast channel, or on top of the
indoor fixture, except air handling heated air outlets, wet or hazardous location fixtures. Do not install
this device near gas or electric heaters.
7. AC power source of 120 VAC or 277 VAC is required.
8. The battery is sealed, non-maintenance, and is not replaceable in the field. Please contact

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: All the branch circuit wiring has to be ready as well as an unswitched source of
power before the fixture is installed. Confirm the same branch circuit would be used for both
the emergency ballast and the AC ballast.
DIAGRAM 1
CAUTION: Battery connector has to be opened for preventing high voltage on output leads
(red and yellow). Wait until the installation process has been completed and AC is supplying
power to the emergency ballast, and then join the battery connector.
1. AC power has to be off before installation.
2. Choose the right wiring diagram to connect the ballast to the AC ballast and lamp.
3. Please ensure the electricity connections conform to the National Electrical Code and
local regulations.
4. Follow diagrams 1 and 2 to install the battery pack on the top of the fixture or in the ballast
channel.
DIAGRAM 2
5. To install the test switch, it would go through the side of a strip fixture or the ballast
channel cover of a troffer. Follow diagrams 1 and 2 to drill a 1/2” hole and install the test
switch. In order to remove AC power from both the emergency ballast and the AC ballast, the
test switch has to be connected properly (see diagram 4).
6. Match violet and brown leads to connect the charging indicator light to the battery pack
(see diagram 5). The charging indicator will be on after the fixture is installed properly.
7. Please search for a readily visible location to apply the CAUTION label which reads, “This
unit has more than one power supply connection point. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disonnect both the branch circuit-breakers or fuses, and emergency power supply before
servicing.”
8. Do not join the inverter connector until the fixture is completely installed and supply.
AC power to the emergency ballast.
DIAGRAM 3
9. The battery needs to be charged for one hour in order to have short-term testing on the
emergency function. Before having a long-term emergency function testing, the battery in the
emergency ballast has to be charged for 24 hours.

OPERATION
• The charging indicator light would be on to indicate the battery is being charged when AC power is applied.
• This emergency ballast would function and operate one or two lamps at least 90 minutes when the AC power is failed.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Note: Services should only performed by qualified personnel. The emergency ballast should be checked periodically to
confirm proper functioning and the following schedule is recommended:
1. To inspect the charging indicator every month and confirm that is illuminated.
2. Push the test switch for 30 seconds to ensure the emergency ballast is functioning. Recommended to perform this
testing every 30 days.
3. Perform a long-term test (90-minute battery discharge) at least once every year. One or two lamps should operate for
no less than 90 minutes.
