FLUORESCENT EMERGENCY BALLAST
Installation Instructions
1. To prevent high voltage from being present on red & yellow output leads prior to installation, inverter
connector must be open. Do not join inverter connector until installation is complete and AC power is
supplied to the emergency ballast.
2. This product is for use with one 17 W through 215 W (2’ - 8’) or two 17 W through 40 W (2’ - 4’) single
pin or bipin fluorescent lamps, including standard, energy saving, HO, VHO, and circline fluorescent lamps.
3. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and inverter
connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.
5. This emergency ballast is for factory or field installation in either the ballast channel or on top of the
fixture.
6. This product is suitable for damp locations where the ambient temperature for fixture is 0°C minimum,
+50°C maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. Product is not
suitable for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations.
7. An unswitched AC power source is required (120 or 277 VAC, 60 Hz).
8. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
9. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed, no-maintenance battery is used that is not field
replaceable. Contact the manufacturer for information on service.
10. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
11. Do not use this product for other than intended use.
12. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also identified as suit-
able for use with this inverter/charger pack.

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED & YELLOW OUTPUT
LEADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, INVERTER CONNECTOR MUST BE OPEN. DO NOT JOIN
INVERTER CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS SUPPLIED
TO THE EMERGENCY BALLAST.
NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched
source of power is required. The emergency ballast must be fed from the same
branch circuit as the AC ballast.
INSTALLATION
STEP #1 INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast
either in the ballast channel or on top of the fixture.* Remote mounting distance must be less than half the
maximum remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC ballast manufacturer before remote
installation.
> Depending on the type of fixture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.
> Mounting Height: This product meets or exceeds the NFPA minimum light requirements with all loads, down
to the smallest rated lamp load, at heights up to 7.17ft (2.2m). Many factors influence emergency illumination
levels, such as the lamp load selected, luminare 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.
* For installation on top of the fixture, wire bundle covers (RMC-LP) may be required by state or local codes. These covers are available
from the manufacturer as an accessory kit and must be ordered separately. Call your local distributor or the factory for complete information.

STEP #2 INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
> Refer to the illustrations above and install the test switch
through the ballast channel cover of a troffer or through the
side of a strip fixture.
> Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as shown.
> Refer to the diagrams on page 4 and wire the test switch so
that it removes AC power from the unswitched hot line to the
emergency ballast.

STEP #3 INSTALLING THE CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT
> Install the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT as shown on the following illustration so that it will be visible after
the fixture is installed.
NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label.

INSTALLATION
When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating the battery is being charged. When power fails,
the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power, operating one or two lamps at reduced illumination. When
AC power is restored, the emergency ballast returns to the charging mode and delays AC ballast operation for approximately
three seconds to prevent false-tripping of AC ballast (end-of-lamp-life) shutdown circuits. This emergency ballast will operate
the rated lamp load for a minimum of 90 minutes.
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast functional, it should be checked periodically to
ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:
1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. Either one or two
lamps should operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. One or two lamps should operate at reduced illumination for
at least 90 minutes.
! REFER ANY SERVICING INDICATED BY THESE CHECKS TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL !
MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
STEP #4 WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Determine the type of AC ballast installed in the fixture.
> Select the appropriate wiring diagram on back to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp(s). 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 ballast and join the inverter connector.
> At this point, power should be connected to both the AC ballast and the emergency ballast, and the Charging Indicator Light should
illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency ballast has been charging 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.”
WIRING DIAGRAMS
The following diagrams are typical schematics only.
May be used with other ballasts. Consult the factory
for other wiring diagrams. Emergency Ballast and AC
Ballast must be fed from the SAME BRANCH CIRCUIT.
