WARNING: to prevent high voltage on Red / White, Red,
and Yellow output terminals prior to installation, the Test
Button / Indicator Light must be disconnected. Connect
the Test Button / Indicator Light after installation.
NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit
wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is
required.
1. Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the
ballast channel cover. Install the emergency ballast
with grounding screws either in the ballast channel
(see illustrations 1 & 2) or on top of the fixture (see
illustration 3 / EBP1400NCX only).
2. Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect
the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp.
Make sure all connections are in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
(See Illustrations 4 and 5 for terminals).
3. Refer to the lamp compatibility table for the HIGH
(Red) or Low (Red / White) connection per the lamp(s)
being illuminated by the emergency ballast.
4. Install the test button / indicator light through the
ballast channel cover of a troffer (Illustration 1 & 6)
or through the side of a strip fixture (Illustration 2 &
7). Drill or punch a 7/8” hole to install the test button
/ indicator light as shown in illustration 6. Drill or
punch a 1/2” hole to install the test button / indicator
light as shown in illustration 7. Install the test button
/ indicator light as shown in the selected illustration.
Apply the two included labels (“Charging Indicator
Light” and “Emergency Light Push toTest”) adjacent
to the test button indicator light.
5. In a readily visible location, attach the included label
“CAUTION –This unit Has More Than One Power
Connection Point. To ReduceThe Risk Of Electric
Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers
Or Fuses and theTest Button / Indicator Light Before
Servicing”.
6. In an area readily visible during relamping, attach the
included relamping label. Write in the lamp type and
wattage.
7. After installation is complete, connect the test
button / indicator light.The factory installed version
(EBP1400NCF) will have 2 twisted wires (brown and
purple) at the access plate which must be connected
for the fixture to operate in emergency mode.
8 Replace covers being careful not to pinch wires, install
lamps, supply AC power to the emergency ballast.
9. 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.

OPERATION
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 lamp at reduced
illumination for at least 90 minutes.
MAINTENANCE
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast functional, it should be checked periodically
to comply with local codes. The following schedule is recommended:
1. Visually inspect the charging light monthly. It should be illuminated.
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30 day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. Depending on
installation, one lamp should operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90 – minute discharge test once a year. Depending on installation, one lamp should operate at reduced
illumination for at least 90 minutes.
Refer any service requirements indicated by these checks to qualified personnel.
NOTE: After installing the test button / indicator light, mark it with the appropriate label.
