ENERGY FOCUS RedCap LEDFLT8-8 Series User manual

RedCap®
Emergency Lighting System
Item #: LEDFLT8-8xx-4xx-BBUF
Product Overview
The RedCap®acts as both a normal lamp as well as emergency battery backup lamp for emergency
egress lighting.
Direct Wire Mode: This product may be used as a direct-wire replacement of your current
fluorescent tube. Rewiring your fixture, replacing lampholders and removal of ballast is required for
this mode.
The “INPUT” end of the lamp, with white endcap, receives power from a standard MAINS power
to operate the lamp in normal mode, typically controlled through a wall switch. The “EM INPUT”
end of the lamp, with red endcap, is wired to “EMERGENCY MAINS,” power that is always on
except during a power outage. The EM INPUT provides power to charge to the integrated battery.
When power is present on the EM INPUT endcap, the lamp will act as a standard lamp. When
emergency power is removed from the red endcap, the lamp will enter emergency mode,
regardless of the state of the INPUT end.
REDCAP® PROVIDES
• Aluminum heatsinks and integrated driver designed to retrofit T8 fluorescent lighting.
• Full brightness in automated switch-over to emergency mode
with 1.5 hours minimum emergency run-time
• Test button and green LED indicator light to show operating status.
• Internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery
• Integrated battery charger and battery overcharge protection,
over discharge protection, and short circuit protection
• Over 500 cycles of standard charge and discharge
• Universal Input Voltage of 120-277VAC (50/60 Hz).
