set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Per NFPA 70E, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be required.
Check state and local codes.
• The load’s operating voltage must be the same as the Emergency Power Input
voltage.
• To reduct the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to persons:
1. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing,
2. Mount this device in locations and at heights where it will not be readily
accessible to tampering by unauthorized personnel,
3. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters,
4. Do not let any wires touch hot surfaces, and

STEPS
1. Remove all sources of power.
2. Remove ballast channel cover.
3. Mount ELCR as shown in Figures A and B.
4. Wire the ELCR using an illustration from the “Typical
Applications” section on page 3 or similar setups for
dierent application.
5. Before applying power, review the Important Safeguards
at the beginning of this document.
6. Finish installation as required by the NEC, NFPA, state,
local, and other codes. Test the ELCR using the “Test
Procedure” on page 4.
OPERATION
The ELCR will activate an Emergency lighting load automatically upon
the loss of Normal Power. If Normal Power is absent, the status of the
load cannot be overridden. However, if the Normal Power is present,
the Emergency lighting load can be controlled by other means in order
to use it as a Normal Lighting load, depending on the wiring setup.
When used as Normal Lighting, a two second delay will keep the Load
on after Wall Switch is turned o, to perform a Self-Test on the unit.
When Normal Power is present, the N/O status contact will automatically
close. Therefore, when Normal Power is absent, the N/O status contact
will open (perfect for 0-10V dimming controls). The N/C contact will
operate opposite of N/O. A red LED indicates the Emergency Power is
available. A Green LED indicates that Normal Power is present. A Yellow
LED copies the status of the load; if the LED is on, the load is on.
MAINTENANCE
No routine maintenance is required for the
ELCR. Occasionally, this device should be tested
to ensure that it works correctly in accordance
with national and local codes.

Condition Action
Red LED is OFF • Check Emergency Power Input wiring (Blue & White/Blue
wires) and voltage
Green LED is OFF • Check Normal Power Input wiring (Black and White wires)
and voltage.
Yellow LED is ON but Load
is OFF • Check bulbs and ballast. • Check Load wiring (Yellow wire and Load’s neutral).
• Verify Load’s operating voltage is the same as the
Emergency Power Input Voltage.
• Replace unit
Load is ON but Yellow LED
is OFF • Replace Unit
Yellow LED and Load do not
turn on when being tested • Check bulbs and ballast • Check wiring connections if using a remote test option
• Press local test button on the unit
• Replace unit
Yellow LED and Load will not
turn OFF • Verify status of Normal Power Input • Open Wall Switch Input
• Verify that no test inputs are stuck closed. (i.e. Remote Test
is not closed).
Wiring Discriptions Testing Procedures
Troubleshooting
Four Options to test the ELCR after
Installation
Initial Test for Correct Wiring
Apply Emergency Power to the Emergency Power Input and Normal
Power to the Normal Power Input. (If using the Wall Switch Input, apply
Normal Power to the switch also, but keep the switch OFF/OPEN.)
a. The Red LED (Emergency Power available) should be ON.
b. The Green LED (Normal Power available) should be ON.
c. The Yellow LED (Load Status) should be OFF.
d. The Load should be OFF.
e. The Feedback/Dimmer Contact (N/O) should be CLOSED.
Local Test Button
1. Turn switched circuit OFF. Emergency light should be OFF.
2. Press and hold “Local Test Button”
3. Emergency light should turn ON.
4. Release “Local Test Button” and emergency light should turn OFF.
Remote Test Button
(Model ELCTB - sold separately)
1. Turn switched circuit OFF. Emergency light should be OFF.
2. Press and hold “Remote Test Button”
3. Emergency light should turn ON.
4. Release “Remote Test Button” and emergency light should turn OFF.
Wall Switch
1. Turn ON wall switch if not already on.
2. Emergency light should turn ON.
3. Turn wall switch OFF.
4. Emergency light will remain on for two seconds before turning o.
