INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FLUORESCENT EMERGENCY BALLAST
1400 LUMENS (TIME DELAY)
1. Prior to installation, battery connector must be left open to prevent high voltage from
being present on output leads (red & yellow). It must be connected only after installation
is complete and A.C. Power is supplied to the unit.
2. This unit can operate commonly used linear and compact uorescent lamps. Please refer
to the “lamps list” label on the ballast for specic lamp information.
3. Please ensure the electricity connections conform to the National Electrical Code and local
regulations if applicable.
4. To avoid electric shock, please disconnect normal and emergency power supplies, and
battery connector of the emergency ballast before servicing.
5. This device is designed for factory or eld installation in either the ballast channel, or
on top of the xture, except air handling heated air outlets, wet or hazardous location
xtures. Do not install this device near gas or electric heaters.
6. AC power source of 120 VAC or 277 VAC is required.
7. The battery in this unit is sealed, and not replaceable in the eld. Please contact
manufacturer for information on servicing the battery.
8. Do not use accessory equipment that is not recommended by manufacturer. Failure to do
so may cause unsafe conditions. Servicing should only be performed by qualied service
personnel.
9. Do not use the product for other than it s intended purpose.
CAUTION: Verify that all replacement lamp types marked on the installed luminaire are also
identied as suitable for use with this inverter/charger pack.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:Before installing, make certain the A.C.Power is off and the battery
connector is disconnected.
1. MOUNTING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST(BATTERY PACK)
2. WIRING
Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the appropriate wiring of lamp(s)and ballast.Install in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.For additional wiring diagrams consult Customer Service.
4. WIRING THE A.C.INPUT
A. The EMERGENCY BALLAST and A.C.Ballast must be on the same branch circuit.
B. The EMERGENCY BALLAST requires an unswitchedA.C.Power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Select
proper voltage lead and cap the unused lead.
C. When the EMERGENCY BALLAST is used with a switched fixture,the A.C.Input to the EMERGENCY BALLAST
must be connected ahead of the fixture switch.Refer to IIIustration 3 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.

3. INSTALLING THE LED COMBO TEST SWITCH(LCTS)
Recessed Troffer Fixture - Select a convenient location with proper clearance in the ballast cover and drill or
punch a " hole( "knockout). Insert the " bushing into the hole. Push the plastic tube through the bushing.
Route the leads of the LCTS through the plastic tube. Connect the wires from the unit to the LCTS(VIOLET to
VIOLET, BROWN to BROWN). Push the entire assembly back into the tube until the lens collar rests against the plastic
tube. The plastic tube should be adjusted so that the LCTS is within "of the fixture lens. The LCTS must be
visible after installation. Refer to IIIustration 1.

Strip Fixture - Select a convenient location on the fixture so the LCTS can be seen after installation. Allow for
proper clearance inside the fixture and drill or punch a
" hole. Remove the nut from the LCTS. Push the LCTS
housing into the
" hole and secure with the nut. Connect the wires from the LCTS(VIOLET to VIOLET,
BROWN to BROWN). Refer to IIIustration2.

When battery packs are remote mounted, the remote distance can not exceed of the distance from ballast to
lamp specified by the A.C. ballast manufacturer. For example, if the A.C. ballast manufacturer recommends no
more than 25' remote distance, then the battery pack's remote mounting distance should not exceed 12 ' .
Under no circumstances should the battery pack exceed a distance of 50' from the lamp(s).

6. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the LCTS. Annotate Re-lamping label for lamp type and wattage. The
'Caution' and the 'Re-lamping' labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone attempting to
service the fixture.
7. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power ON and join the EMERGENCY BALLAST S unit connector. '

OPERATION
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Normal Mode - A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The LCTS will be
lit providing a visual indication that the EMERGENCY BALLAST is in the standby charging mode.
Emergency Mode - A.C. power fails. The EMERGENCY BALLAST senses the A.C. power failure and automatically
switches to the Emergency Mode. One or two lamps illuminate at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When
A.C. Power is restored, the EMERGENCY BALLAST switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery
charging.
Initial Testing - Allow the unit to charge for approximately 1 hour, then press the LCTS to conduct a short discharge test.
Allow a 24 hour charge before conducting a 1 hour test.
This EMERGENCY BALLAST 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 LCTS is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the LCTS. One lamp
should operate at reduced output.
Annually - Insure that the LCTS is illuminated. Conduct a full 1 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.
Pressing the red lens on the LCTS turns off the light on it, interrupts power to the designated A.C. ballast and forces the
unit into emergency mode. The emergency lamp (s) is (are) now lit by the EMERGENCY BALLAST. On releasing the
lens, fixture returns to normal mode after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the circuit breaker to
turn off the AC power.
