IOTA I-4PT-A User manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION – To prevent electrical shock, do not mate unit connector until installation is complete and A.C.
power is supplied to the unit.
2. CAUTION – This fixture provides more than one power supply output source. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect both normal and emergency sources by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by discon-
necting the unit connector.
3. CAUTION – This is a sealed unit. The integral, high temperature Ni-Cad battery is not replaceable. Replace
the entire unit when necessary and dispose of the nickel-cadmium battery properly.
4. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The I-4PT-A is for use with grounded, UL Listed, damp location rated, indoor
fixtures. Not for use in heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
5. The I-4PT-A requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 120 to 277 volts.
6. When the I-4PT-A is installed on the same branch circuit, refer to Illustration 2, Figures A and B for input wir-
ing. When installed on a separate branch circuit, refer to Illustration 2, Figures C and D for input wiring. Per
NEC, the I-4PT-A and A.C. ballast must be on the same panel board.
7. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
8. The I-4PT-A should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering
by unauthorized personnel.
9. The I-4PT-A will operate one 13W through 42W 4-pin LED CFL replacement lamp for 90 minutes. Contact
Customer Service for additional lamp usage.
10. The I-4PT-A is compatible with most electronic A.C. ballasts (including multiple lamps) as follows:
Electronic ballasts – one lamp emergency operation.
11. The I-4PT-A meets CA T20 Battery Charger Efficiency Standards and is certified in the CA Title 20
Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDBS) as a Small Battery Charger.
12. Suitable for use in damp locations.
13. For use in 0° C minimum, 55° C maximum ambient temperatures.
14. The use of accessory equipment or lamps not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe
condition, will void warranty, and will result in non-compliance with UL specifications.
15. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
16. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
17. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
18. Lighting fixture manufacturers, electricians and end users need to ensure product system compatibility before
final installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain the A.C. power is off and the I-4PT-A unit connector is disconnected.
1. LAMPS OPERATED
The I-4PT-A will operate one 13W - 42W LED CFL replacement lamp in emergency mode. Contact IOTA Custom-
er Service for a list of lamps that are qualified for operation in emergency mode.
2. MOUNTING THE I-4PT-A
When used with ceiling mounted downlight fixtures, the I-4PT-A should be mounted on the fixture above the ceil-
ing. The flex conduit marked “A” should be wired into the ballast/lamp compartment or to an electrical junction box
on the fixture which allows access to the ballast/lamp connections. Refer to Illustration 1 for typical mounting.
When battery packs are remote mounted, consult Customer Service for the maximum allowable distance between
the battery pack and the lamp.
3. MOUNTING THE THREADED BODY TEST SWITCH (TBTS)
Cut a single gang switch box into the ceiling tile adjacent to the fixture within reach of the I-4PT-A flex
marked “B”. After mounting the switch box, connect flex “B” to the box and route all leads inside the box. Refer to
Illustration 1 for typical mounting.

ENSURE WIRING IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
4. WIRING
A. When the I-4PT-A is installed on the same branch circuit, refer to Illustration 2, Figures A and B for
input wiring. When installed on separate branch circuits, refer to Illustration 2, Figures C and D for input wiring.
Per NEC, the I-4PT-A and A.C. ballast must be on the same panel board.
B. The I-4PT-A requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 120 to 277 volts; therefore, when
used with switched fixtures, the I-4PT-A input must be wired ahead of the switch. Refer to Illustration 2
for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.
C. Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the proper wiring. For wiring diagrams of ballasts not shown,
consult our Customer Service.
5. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the TBTS. Annotate Re-lamping label for lamp manufacturer and part
number. The Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone at-
tempting to service the fixture.
6. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the I-4PT-A unit connector.

OPERATION
General – This unit is primarily designed to be used with compact fluorescent lamp downlight fixtures. It will wire in
conjunction with the existing A.C. ballast(s) and LED CFL Replacement lamp(s) to provide the emergency function. It can
also be wired for emergency only operation. The TBTS light is offered for installation in a standard single gang switch box
adjacent to the fixture.
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the LED CFL Replacement lamp(s) as intended. The
I-4PT-A is in the standby charging mode. The TBTS will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being
charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The I-4PT-A senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency Mode. One lamp is illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is
restored, the I-4PT-A switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the
Instruction Manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the TBTS turns off the light on the TBTS and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupting power to the
designated A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the I-4PT-A unit. After releasing the TBTS, the fixture
returns to normal operation after a momentary delay.
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test by depressing the
TBTS. The TBTS will go out and the LED CFL Replacement lamp will be illuminated. Allow a 24 hour charge before
conducting a one hour test.
The I-4PT-A is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety
Code, outlines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the TBTS light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the TBTS. One
lamp should operate at reduced output.
Annually – Insure that the TBTS light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1½ hour discharge test. The unit should operate as
intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Consult Customer Service or visit www.iotaengineering.com for current warranty information.
