1. Do not join converter connector until installation is complete and AC Power is supplied to the emergency driver.
2. This product is for use with an emergency LED lighting load and supplies nominal 10.0 W of power with a
maximum voltage of 50 VDC in emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes.
3. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code and
any local regulations.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and converter
connector of the emergency driver before servicing.
5. This emergency driver is suitable for factory installation only.
6. This product is suitable for use in damp locations where the ambient temperature is 0ºC minimum, +55ºC
maximum. Product is also suitable for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. Product is not suitable
7. for heated air outlets and wet or hazardous locations. Maximum allowable case temp is 65ºC. See Page 4 for
Tcase measurement location.
8. An unswitched AC power source is required (120-277 V AC, 50/60 Hz).
9. Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
10. Do not attempt to service the battery. A sealed, no-maintenance battery is used that is not field replaceable.
Contact the manufacturer for information on service.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: DO NOT JOIN CONVERTER CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS SUPPLIED TO THE EMERGENCY DRIVER.
NOTE: Make sure the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is required. The
emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC driver.
•Mounting Height: This product meets or exceeds the NFPA minimum light requirements with all loads, down to
the smallest rated lamp load, at heights up to 7.17ft (2.2m). Many factors infl uence emergency illumination
levels, such as the lamp load selected, luminare design, and environmental factors therefore end use verifi
cation is necessary. For fi eld installations, when the attached luminaire is mounted at heights greater than 7.17ft
(2.2m), the level of illumination must be measured in the end application to ensure the requirements of NFPA
101 and local codes are satisfi ed.
•Remote Mounting: The emergency LED driver may be remote mounted from the luminaire. If used in
conjunction with an AC driver the allowed distance is up to half the distance the AC driver manufacturer
recommends remote mounting the AC driver from the LED load. If used without an AC driver, and remote
mounting more than 5 feet from the luminaire, please consult the factory to determine the necessary wire gauge.
CAUTION: Remote mounting can result in reduced power output.

During normal operation AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the
battery is being charged. When power fails, the emergency LED driver automatically switches to emergency
power (internal battery), operating the LED load for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the
emergency driver returns to the charging mode.
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked
periodically to ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:
1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated. If the charging indicator is
flashing. Contact tech support.
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. The LED
load should operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The LED load should operate at reduced illumination for
at least 90 minutes.
