Installation Instructions

INSTALL ATION
22
STEP 1 - DETERMINE SUITABILITY
> Disconnect AC power from the LED luminaire.
> Mount the emergency LED driver by the mounting tabs using the supplied screws. The
luminaire’s installation
instructions may provide guidance on the recommended mounting location.
>Mounting Height: Many factors influence emergency illumination levels, such as the lamp
load selected, luminaire design, and environmental factors therefore end use verification is
necessary. For field installations, when the attached luminaire is mounted at heights greater
than 7.17ft (2.2m), the level of illumination must be measured in the end application to ensure
the requirements of NFPA 101 and local codes are satisfied.
>Remote Mounting: The emergency LED driver may be remote mounted from the luminaire it
enclosed and installed in accordance with the NEC. If used in conjunction with an AC driver the
allowed distance is up to half the distance the AC driver manufacturer recommends remote
mounting the AC driver from the LED load. If used without an AC driver, and remote mounting
more than 5 feet from the luminaire, please consult the factory to determine the necessary
wire gauge. CAUTION: Remote mounting can result in reduced power output.
1. Ensure the LED load’s rated power is greater than or equal to the power output of this emergency LED
driver. This is to ensure that this emergency product will not produce more power than the LED load can
handle, thus ensuring that the LED load will not be damaged when the system is in the emergency mode.
2. Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire’s LED array is within the limits of this emergency LED driver.
The forward voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the luminaire
markings, in the luminaire specifications, or imprinted directly on the LED arrays. If multiple LED arrays are to
be driven, verify that the total forward voltage is within the limits of this product. Using a voltage meter, it
may be possible to directly measure the voltage across the LED arrays when operating from the AC driver.
3. Ensure the output current of the AC LED driver does not exceed 3.0 Amps. This is the current into the blue
wire connector.
4. Ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application. Estimate the egress lighting illumination
levels by doing the following:
A. Find the efficacy of the LED load. This can be given by the luminaire manufacture. This number will be
given in lumens per watt (lm/w). It is the installer’s responsibility to validate the luminaire manufacturer’s
efficacy data.This can be accomplished by direct measurement, by review of independent 3rd party test
data (UL, ETL, etc.), accessing a public database of 3rd party data (such as Design Lights Consortium,
www.designlights.org), or other comparable means.
B. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the emergency LED driver by the efficacy
of the LED load. In many cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than this
calculation gives, however it will provide a good estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.
Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Chosen Product
(Lumens) = (lm/W) * (W)
C. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the
anticipated illumination levels in the path of egress.
This product is suitable for field installation with suitable LED loads including LED luminaires, DC voltage
driven LED replacements for fluorescent lamps and others. There are four (4) checks to determine if
your luminaire is eligible for field installation.
NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads and is electrically
compatible with every simple LED array that meets criteria 1 and 2 above. However, compatibility cannot be
guaranteed with all current and future LED systems. Compatibility testing of the end-use system is suggested.
Please contact the factory with any questions.
NOTE: After installation, it will be necessary to measure the egress lighting illumination levels to ensure it
complies with national, state, and local code requirements.
Make sure the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is
required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC driver.
Installation of this emergency LED driver will vary based on the luminaire type, however,
generally follow these steps:

STEP 3 - INSTALLING THE ILLUMINATED TEST SWITCH
> See wiring diagram to connect the emergency driver to the AC driver and LED load. 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 driver and the AC driver.
> At this point, the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the internal battery is charging.
> After the emergency driver has been charged for one-hour automatic commission test will be
performed. The emergency driver will switch to the emergency mode for 30 seconds and store in its
memory the current level of the connected load. If, during future self-test, this level deviates by more
than 25%, an error will be triggered.
> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency driver has been charged 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."
> Mount the supplied Illuminated test switch in a location that is visible
and accessible by maintenance personnel. The test switch mounts
through a ½” hole which may need to be made in the luminaire or
could come pre-punched by the luminaire supplier.
> Connect the test switch per wiring diagrams provided on these
instructions.
> If wired correctly, the indicator light should be ON when AC power
is supplied to the fixture indicating that the unit is charging. After
installing, mark with the "PUSH TO TEST" and "CHARGING INDICATOR
LIGHT" labels.

When AC power fails, the emergency driver automatically switches to emergency mode, powering
the LED load per the rating of the emergency driver for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is
restored, the emergency driver returns to charging mode.
ABConnect:
Applying AC power to the unit activates the charger circuit, and supplies power to the control/monitor
circuit and charging indicator light.
To deactivate the unit for storage or shipping, press and hold the test button while the unit is in
emergency mode until the LED load is turned off.
Self-Test:
This unit contains a control/monitor circuit that if enabled automatically performs a 30-second discharge
test once a month and a full 90-minute discharge test once a year. During routine testing, the self-testing
emergency driver simulates an AC power failure causing the unit to automatically switch to emergency
mode. The unit will monitor the operation of the LED load, battery voltage, and emergency duration. If the
emergency system functions properly, then the unit will return to normal mode. Should the unit detect any
problems, the indicator light will flash per failure condition (see Troubleshooting Guide) until the condition
has been corrected and the unit passes the next test.
Commissioning: After the emergency driver has been charged for one-hour an automatic
commissioning test will be performed. The emergency driver will switch to the emergency mode for 30
seconds and store in its memory the current level of the connected load. If, during future self-test, this
level deviates by more than 25%, an error will be triggered.
Caution:Once commissioned, connecting this equipment to higher voltage loads will result in reduce
current levels triggering the derangement signal indicating the equipment requires re-calibration to ensure
proper operation.
