IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. WARNING – Dual Power Supply - Risk of shock hazard even if AC power is OFF.
2. WARNING –Disconnect polarized TSPL (Test Switch Pilot Light) connector before servicing fixture.
3. WARNING –DO NOT remove the wire harness connector when AC Power is ON.
4. WARNING –DO NOT mount near a gas or electric heater.
5. WARNING –Battery Pack Output Voltage is 1600Vdc.
6. CAUTION – Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at fuse panel or circuit breaker.
7. CAUTION – All servicing shall be performed by qualified personnel.
8. CAUTION – DO NOT attempt to service the battery. It is not field replaceable.
9. CAUTION – DO NOT use outdoors, in air handler heated outlets, or in hazardous locations. This product is for
use with indoor fixtures, sealed or unsealed.
10. CAUTION – DO NOT use accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer.
11. CAUTION – DO NOT use this equipment for other than its intended use.
12. CAUTION – Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also identified as suit-
able for use with this inverter/charger pack.
13. Consult your local building code for approved wiring or installation.
14. The emergency battery pack must be connected to an un-switched AC power source of 120 to 277 Vac.
15. Equipment should be mounted in a location and at heights where it will not be readily subject to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
16. Make sure that the branch circuits are derived from a common phase for both normal lighting ballast and Bat-
tery Pack prior to installation.
17. The Battery Pack can be switched or un-switched (night) circuit. When used with a switched fixture, it is impor-
tant that the power to the Battery Pack be provided by an un-switched circuit.
18. Damage to the battery will occur if the TSPL (Test Switch Pilot Light) connection is made for a prolonged pe-
riod of time without AC power being provided.
19. Allow Battery Packs to charge 24 hrs before initial and full-discharge testing.
20. Do not locate the TSPL (Test Switch Pilot Light) or route its cable within 1” of fixture lamps.
21. Emergency lighting system should be tested per all of the required tests and as often as local codes require or
at least quarterly to ensure all components are operational.
22. Lighting fixture manufacturers, electricians, and end-users need to ensure product system compatibility before
final installations.

A. Position the P-320 in the fixture wireway and fasten securely through the Mounting Slots. If necessary, drill holes and
mount with sheet metal cutting screws (not provided).
B. Fully plug the Quick Disconnect Harness into the P-320 Quick Disconnect Port. Inspect that the Harness is squarely
seated against the P-320 housing.
C. Attach the flat wire tie holder to the fixture channel. Insert a wire tie into the wire tie holder and pull the wire tie tight
around the wires extending from the Quick Disconnect Harness. This will help prevent the Quick Disconnect Harness
from being disengaged. Inspect that the Quick Disconnect Harness is still fully plugged in to the P-320 Port.
A. Locate a suitable location for the TSPL and cable that is at least 1” from the fixture lamps and is visible outside the fixture.
Drill or punch a 1/2” diameter hole in the fixture wall or wireway cover. Insert the TSPL into the hole so that the LED test
button/pilot light is located outside of the fixture.
B. Slide the TSPL Mounting Clip firmly to lock and secure the TSPL assembly.
DO NOT CONNECT THE TSPL PLUG AT THIS TIME

P-320
The P-320 requires an unswitched AC input of
120/277 volts. Connect the BLACK wire to the
120/277 Line, and the WHITE wire to the Neutral.
STEP 5 - APPLY AC POWER AND CONNECT THE TSPL
A. Apply continuous AC power to the P-320, then connect and fully engage the TSPL Connector to the P-320. Insure the
TSPL connector latch is properly seated in the recess slot on the P-320 housing. Ensure that continuous AC power has
been applied to the P-320 before connecting the TSPL, or you will begin to drain the P-320 batteries and may hinder
proper emergency operation.
B. Verify that the TSPL light is on, then mark the TSPL location on the fixture with the TSPL label.
Caution: fixture contains live wires during
this portion of installation. Use insulated
gloves and tools

TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the TSPL turns off the light on the TSPL and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupting power to the designated
A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the P-320 unit. After releasing the TSPL, the fixture returns to normal operation
after a momentary delay.
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 2 hours, then press the TSPL to conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24
hour charge before conducting a one hour test.
The P-320 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 TSPL is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the TSPL. One lamp should oper-
ate at reduced output.
Annually – Insure that the TSPL 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.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The P-320 is in the standby
charging mode. The TSPL will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The P-320 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 P-320 switches
the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the Instruction Manual.
LAMP SELECTOR SWITCH
The P-320 has a lamp selector switch that can be used to optimize the performance. Refer to the table below for the optimal setting
of the lamp selector switch for your lamp type.
