use with grounded, UL Listed indoor
fixtures except in heated air outlets or
in wet, damp or hazardous locations.
2. This device is designed for factory or
field installation in either the wireway
or on top of the indoor fixture.
3. This device should be mounted in
locations and at heights where it will
not be easily subjected to tampering
by unauthorized personnel.
4. Do not install near gas or electric
heaters.
5. Do not use this equipment for anything
other than its intended use.
6. The use of accessory equipment not
recommended by the manufacturer
will void product listing and warranty
and may cause an unsafe condition.
7. Prior to installation, battery connector
must be open to prevent high voltage
from being present on the output
leads (red and yellow).
8. An AC power source of 120VAC or
277VAC is required.
EMERGENCY BALLAST OVERVIEW
The NEB1400 Emergency Ballast allows
the same indoor fixture to be used for
both normal and emergency operation.
In the event of a power failure, the
NEB1400 switches to the emergency
mode and operates one or two of
the existing lamps for a minimum of
90 minutes.
The NEB1400 contains a battery, charger
and inverter circuit in a single package.
It can be mounted in the wireway or
on top of the indoor fixture and is UL
Listed for factory installation or retrofit
applications.
LAMP COMPATIBILITY
In the emergency mode, this device will
operate one (1) 2’ to 4’ rapid, instant or
energy-saving T8-T12; one (1) or two (2)
2’-8’ rapid, instant, or energy savings
T8-T12, HO, VHO; one (1) or two (2)
20W-40W Circline lamp; one (1) 13W,
18W, or 26W 4-pin compact fluorescent
lamp; one (1) 13W-42W twin, quad or
triple (4-pin) compact fluorescent lamp;
one (1) 40W Biax; one (1) 50W Biax; or
one (1) 55W Biax.
9. Make sure electrical connections
are in conformance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and
local regulations where applicable.
10. To prevent electric shock, disconnect normal and emergency power
supplies and battery connections
from the emergency ballast before
servicing.
11. This is a sealed unit that contains a
maintenance-free, high temperature nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad)
battery that is not replaceable in the
field. Do not attempt to service or
replace battery. Replace entire unit
when necessary. Batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly.
Contact manufacturer for information.
12. Installation of or service on this

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR NEB1400 1400-LUMEN FLUORESCENT EMERGENCY BALLAST
INSTALLATION
1. Turn off AC power before installation.
2. Choose proper wiring diagram to
connect this emergency ballast to
AC ballast and lamp.
3. Emergency ballast must be fed from
the same branch circuit as the AC
ballast.
4. Follow directions to install emergency
ballast on top of fixture or in ballast
channel (Illustrations 2, 3 and 4).
5. The TEST switch should be installed
either through the side of strip fixture
or troffer cover in ballast channel.
Follow directions to drill a small hole
and install TEST switch (Illustration 5).
Wire the TEST switch so that it
disconnects AC power from both
the emergency ballast and AC
ballast at the same time.
6. Install the CHARGE indicator by
connecting the violet and brown
leads (Illustration 5). The CHARGE
indicator light should be illuminated
during normal fixture operation.
7. Place appropriate labels on CHARGE
indicator light and TEST switch upon
completion of installation.
8. Select a highly visible location and
adhere warning label that states,
(CAUTION: This unit has more than
one power supply connection point.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect both the branch circuit
breakers or fuses and emergency
power supplies before servicing.)
9. Wire nut unused AC voltage lead.
10. When the fixture is completely
installed, connect the inverter.
11. Turn on AC power.
12. Check to see that CHARGE indicator
light is illuminated.
13. Battery in emergency ballast must
be charged for one (1) hour in order
to perform short-term emergency
function testing. Before attempting
a long-term emergency function
test (90 minutes), battery must be
charged for 24 hours.
OPERATION
1. The CHARGE indicator light should
be illuminated when AC power is
applied.
2. Emergency ballast should function
and operate one (1) lamp for at
least 90 minutes after AC power has
failed.
MAINTENANCE
1. To ensure that emergency ballast is
operating properly, the following
schedule is recommended:
a. Every month - Visually inspect
CHARGE indicator and confirm
that it’s illuminated.
b. Every month - Press TEST switch for
30 seconds and confirm lamp
operation at reduced illumination.
c. Every year - Perform a 90-minute
long-term emergency function
test to be sure lamp operates
at reduced illumination for a
minimum of 90 minutes.
2. Written records of testing shall be
kept by the owner for inspection by
the authority having jurisdiction.
