IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION – Connect the battery to the unit before applying A.C. power.
2. CAUTION – To prevent electrical shock, do not mate unit connector until installation is complete and A.C. power is
supplied to the unit.
3. 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 disconnect-
ing the unit connector. In addition, the circuit board should be mounted so that no live parts are accessible during
routine maintenance.
4. CAUTION – The integral, high temperature Ni-Cad battery or components of this unit are not replaceable. Replace
the entire unit when necessary and recycle or dispose of properly.
5. CAUTION – Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only. De-energize before servicing.
6. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The ILB-CP is for use with grounded, UL Listed, indoor fixtures. Not for use in heated
air outlets or hazardous locations. The acceptability of the combination must be determined by Underwriters Labora-
tories. Refer to the Engineering Considerations section for proper installation.
7. The ILB-CP requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 120 to 277 volts AC, 50/60Hz.
8. The ILB-CP and A.C. driver must be on the same branch circuit.
9. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
10. The ILB-CP should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
11. The ILB-CP will supply 10-60VDC output at the individual rated specification for 90 minutes. See individual units
for output specifications.
12. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition, void
warranty, and result in non-compliance with UL specifications.
13. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
14. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
15. Lighting fixture manufacturers, electricians, and end-users need to ensure product system compatibility before
final installation.

Use – For use only in complete equipment or final applications where the acceptability of the combination is deter-
mined by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
These components have been judged on the basis of the required spacings in the Standard for Emergency Lighting
and Power Equipment UL 924, Sec. 29, which covers the end use product for which the component was designed.
CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTABILITY
1. Installed in a suitable ultimate enclosure.
2. Used with marked electrical ratings.
3. Provide with proper spacing between live parts and enclosure and/or adjacent devices.
4. Factory wired only (terminations not suitable for field wiring).
5. Temperature tests may have to be repeated where battery temperature exceeds 55° C.
6. Mounted within the end-use product such that the battery is secured and the test switch operates properly
when the end product is fully assembled.
7. End-use products employing one or more of these devices are to be marked in accordance with the Standad-
for Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment, UL 924.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain the A.C. power is off and the ILB-CP unit
connector is disconnected.
1. FIXTURE
The ILB-CP can be used with most LED loads that operate at 10-60 VDC. See the ILB Model Specification
Chart for output specifications of the unit being installed.
2. MOUNTING THE ILB
Mount the ILB-CP in the driver/lamp compartment or enclosed wireway so the wire leads are not exposed, at least
½″
away from the driver. Mount the ILB-CP using the mounting holes provided. The insulating barrier should be
mounted against the fixture wall. Then the main circuit board can be mounted leaving a space between the board
and the mounting barrier. The circuit board should be placed so that no live parts are accessible during routine
maintenance or relamping.
The battery should be at least 1/2″ from the A.C. ballast and other heat sources. Since heat rises, try to mount the
battery as low as possible. CAUTION – Connect the battery to the unit before applying A.C. power.
3. WIRING
Refer to the wiring diagram on the back page for the appropriate wiring of the LED load and driver. Install in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. For additional wiring diagrams consult Cus-
tomer Service.
4. INSTALLING THE THREADED BODY TEST SWITCH (TBTS)
Select a convenient location on the side of the fixture so that the TBTS can be seen after installation. Allow for
proper clearance and drill or punch a ½″hole. Remove the nut from the TBTS. Push the TBTS housing into the
½″hole and secure with the nut. Connect the LED wires from the unit to the TBTS (Red/Black or Red w/tag to
Red, and White/Red to White). For proper operation, use only the accessory components provided with the unit.

5. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the TBTS. Annotate Replacement Label with identical manufacturer part
number(s). The Caution and the Replacement labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone
attempting to service the fixture.
6. WIRING THE A.C. INPUT
A. The ILB and A.C. driver MUST be on the same branch circuit.
B. The ILB requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 120 to 277 VAC, 50/60Hz; therefore when used with
switched fixtures, the ILB-CP input must be wired ahead of the switch.
C. Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the proper wiring. For wiring diagrams not shown, consult
our customer service.
7. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the ILB-CP unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. driver operates the LED load as intended. The ILB-CP 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 ILB senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency Mode. One or multiple LEDs are illuminated, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored,
the ILB-CP 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. driver. The LED load is now being lit by the ILB-CP unit. After releasing the TBTS, the fixture returns to
normal operation after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the circuit breaker to turn off A.C. power.
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour
charge before conducting a one hour test.
The ILB-CP 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. At
least one LED should operate at reduced output.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator is illuminated. Conduct a full 90 minute 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.
