MODEL SPECIFIC OUTPUT RATINGS
* NOTE: AC Input Power to an LED or Fluorescent Driver/Ballast is always more than the output power. Furthermore,
dimming drivers are less efficient at reduced power. These inefficiencies must be accounted for in the design as they
will likely reduce the maximum connected load to something less than 800W. As a typical rule of thumb, provide at
least 10% margin whenever the load specifics are not well known.
INSTALL ATION
Illustration 1, below, shows the inverter's main circuit board. This circuit board contains the enable switch,
fuse, and wiring terminals. Approximate locations of these items are given in Illustration 1 along with details of
their use. Reference this diagram for the remainder of the installation instructions.
STEP #1 INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM
> Remove front cover, circuit board tray, and any packing material inside the unit housing that may have been
used for shipping purposes.
> Secure housing to the mounting surface through the keyhole knockouts using mounting hardware (not sup-
plied). This hardware must be appropriate to hold the unit weight of approximately 50 lbs. with the batteries
installed.
> Remove the knockouts to install input and, output, and optional 0-10V dimming wiring conduit fittings.
> Extend AC supply wiring and output load wiring into the equipment enclosure using appropriate wiring hardware
and methods.
> Illustration 1 details the locations of the various wiring terminals needed for the remainder of the installation.
Reference Illustration 1 for steps through 2 through 6.

Reference Illustration 1, 3A, 3B, and 3C when making the following wiring connections.
> Loop the load wires the once through the ferrite core (Illustration 3A)
> Connect the Load Common lead to screw terminal TB-2 “OUT COM” (Illustration 1)
> Connect the Load Hot lead to screw terminal TB-2 “OUT HOT” (Illustration 1)
> Loop test switch wire once through another Ferrite core. (Illustration 3C)
> Install the test switch in the enclosure lid and connect the test switch to X2 (Illustration 1)
> Loop input wires from the TB-1 (FGND, UNSW HOT, and COM) once through another Ferrite core and connect
UNSW HOT and COM to the output of Line filter. (Illustration 3B)
> Connect the TB-1 FGND and the ground of the EMI filter to case ground screw terminal (Illustration 3B)
> Connect the unswitched AC Power HOT and COM to the input of the line filter (Illustration 3B)
> Connect the Wall switch hot wire to screw terminal TB-1 “SW HOT”. This is the means of powering the load luminaires
in Normal Mode when a wall switch is used to turn these luminaires on and off. If no wall switch is used, and the
load luminaires are controlled by the same circuit breaker that is powering the un-switched hot. In this case TB-1
“SW HOT” must be jumpered to TB-1 “UWSW HOT”. (Illustration 1)
STEP #3 WIRING THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING INVERTER’S PRIMARY POWER CONNECTIONS
NOTE: Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and any local regulations.
• Ensure input and output primary wiring connections are made to the proper terminals. Damage
to product may occur if miswired.
• Ensure load voltage requirements match the output ratings of this product or damage to the
load devices may occur.
CAUTION
STEP #2 BATTERY INSTALLATION AND CABLE CONNECTION
This product is provided with four sealed Lithium ion batteries. Only the batteries supplied by the inverter
manufacturer should be used. Install the batteries as shown, referring to Illustrations 2A and 2B.
With the unit secured to the mounting surface, begin installation by sliding the batteries into the enclosure.
Connect the battery cables using the supplied hardware. The batteries must be connected using the provided
battery connection wires. Insert the bolt into the lock-washer first, then through the retaining washer, the
battery cable's ring terminal, and finally into the threaded hole in the battery terminal (observing proper
polarity by matching the cable color to the battery terminal color). Tighten to no more than 4 Ft/Lbs torque.
Cover the main harness terminals with the rubber terminal cover to protect against accidental short circuits.
Open the ferrite core and pass the red and black battery connector wires through and close (Illustration
2B). Connect the battery jumper cable last.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT the battery cables to Circuit Board connector X5 and X6
until the unit is ready for use. The batteries WILL BE discharged after long periods of unit
inactivity while connected to the circuit board. If this occurs, the batteries will require at
least 24 hours charging to recover before they can be used for emergency service. If left in
this discharged state for extended periods, the batteries may be damaged.

STEP #5 ENABLE THE INVERTER AND APPLY AC POWER
> After installation is complete, and after the building power commissioning has been completed, apply AC
mains power and then turn on SW-1 on the circuit board.
NOTE: The inverter features a “power commission lockout” that prevents the inverter from operating in the
Emergency Mode unless charging power (UNSW HOT) has been applied AFTER the batteries are connected.
> At this point, the Charging Indicator Light on the test switch should illuminate indicating the battery is
charging.
> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the Emergency Lighting Inverter has been charging
for 12 hours. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION for
details.

Normal Operation: AC power is supplied to the AC ballast/AC LED drivers within the connected luminaires through
the SW HOT input. The batteries are charged from power supplied to the UNSW HOT input. Turning on SW-1 on the
circuit board supplies power to the control/monitor circuit and enables the Emergency Lighting Inverter.
Emergency Mode Operation and Dimming: Immediately after an AC power failure the Emergency Lighting Inverter
applies back-up power to the connected loads and outputs a minimum DC voltage on the 0 – 10V dimming supply.
This causes the dimmable connected loads to start out at minimum light output and consequently, minimum power
draw. The inverter rapidly increases the 0 – 10V dimming voltage until the output power provided by the inverter
reaches the products maximum emergency mode power into the connected load(s). This is referred to as Auto-
Dimming. When AC power is restored, the unit returns to normal charging mode. The ELI-S-400 LFP operates the
emergency lighting load for a minimum of 90 minutes and ELI-S-400-2HR operates the emergency lighting load
for a minimum of 120 minutes.
NOTE: Driver efficiency and power factor must be taken into account. This may reduce the maximum AC load
connected. Contact the factory with any questions.
Self-Test: This product contains self-testing functionality. Self-test will automatically perform a 30-second test
each month and a full duration test once per year (90 or 120 minutes, depending on the model). During this automatic
test, the product will perform diagnostics on the battery, the battery charger, the load transfer circuitry, and the
load. Any failures will be indicated by flashing of the charge indicator LED built into the illuminated test switch.
This flashing will continue until either the condition has been corrected and the unit reset OR the next scheduled
test has been run successfully.
Load Monitoring / Commissioning: This product complies with the latest UL standard for emergency lighting, UL
924, and includes the required load change detection circuit for use when performing the diagnostic self-test
routine. When first energized, a 30-second commissioning test must be performed to detect the connected
emergency lighting load level. The commissioning process is activated by pressing the test switch and wait for
unit to transfer to emergency mode then release. Repeat two times for a total of three test switch presses and
releases. The unit will go into emergency mode for 30 seconds. This load level is stored in the unit. During future
tests or outages, the load level will be checked and compared against this value. If the load level deviates by more
than 10%, the product will send an error code through flashing of the charge indicator LED. The inverter WILL
continue to provide emergency power, regardless of error status.
OPERATION
STEP #6 INSTALLATION OF ENCLOSURE LID
> Remove clip-nuts (X4) from accessory kit.
> Press on to chassis flanges, over lid mounting
holes.
> Install the test switch through the hole in the lid.
> Reconnect the test switch to the PCBA.
> Install ground wire to enclosure with hardware
provided.
> Install clip end of ground wire onto enclosure lid
as shown
> Place lid onto unit chassis.
> Install 8-32 screws in lid, through clip nuts(x4). Clip-Nut Locations (x4)
STEP #4 WIRING THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING INVERTER’S DIMMING CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL)
This product features an industry-standard 0-10V dimming voltage output. Existing area dimming controls
can be wired through the product's dimming relay to allow for normal dimming by occupants of the area
during Normal mode operation. The X3 connector accepts wire size # 24 AWG to # 16 AWG. Refer to
Illustration 1.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Always turn off SW-1(first), then turn off AC power to the equipment inside the case
before servicing.
Servicing should be performed only by qualified service technicians. Use only manufacturer
supplied replacement parts. Although no routine maintenance is required to keep this
emergency lighting inverter functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is
working.
1. Automatic self-testing performs a 30-second test once every month and a 90 minute or 120-minute test
(depending on model) once per year. A failure during this test will cause the charge indicator LED to flash
with a code indicating the failure type.
2. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be steadily illuminated. If flashing, use the
table below to determine the failure mode and follow the troubleshooting steps.
If manual testing is desired, the illuminated test switch on the product cover can be used to send the product
into three different test modes. These modes are detailed in the table below.

Figure W1 shows an example of a branch circuit powering a number of dimmable luminaires, 4 (or more) of which are
powered through the Emergency Lighting Inverter. During normal AC power mode, the power from the switched
hot lighting power and 0-10V room-dimmer voltage is passed through the Inverter to the “Normal/Emergency”
fixtures. The unswitched hot charges the battery. During a power failure, the Inverter powers the “Normal/
Emergency” fixtures for a minimum of the products rated runtime at a power level set by the Inverter’s dimming
output circuit. In any example, the dimmable “Normal/Emergency” luminaires are automatically limited to only draw a
total maximum of 400 VA from the inverter during an emergency event.
