INSTALLATION:
Important Note:
1. All installations must comply with the applicable local and/or National Electrical
Code.
2. Before installing, check the fixture nameplate to be sure you have the correct
fixture.
3. Verify ground continuity in the electrical system.
4. The emergency ballast must be connected to an unswitched power source.
5. Refer to nameplate for specific ambient and supply wire temperature rating.

Following steps required for installation -
1. Install unit’s mounting accessory
per instructions supplied with the
mount.
2. Install unit’s pushbutton test
station (purchased separately) per
instructions supplied with the
station. Station must be wired to
fixture mount to provide a method
of disconnecting the supply source
from the unit. An example of how
this can be completed is shown in
Fig.1 for typical installation.
3. Verify that the supply voltage
available is 120V thru 277V.
4. The fixture comes wired for 120V
thru 277V operation from the
factory. Lamp provided with
fixture is to be installed in a non-
hazardous environment as follows:
(A) Unscrew and remove the
globe support assembly (B) from
the unit tank (C). Install lamp. Re-
attach globe assembly (B) to unit
tank (C). Attach fixture to the
installed mount. If 277V
application is desired refer to step
5.
CAUTION: During installation or maintenance, care must be taken to avoid
scratching, nicking or chipping the glass globe.
5. Make sure the external threads at the top of the unit tank are free of any dirt,
metal chips or other foreign materials. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to the
threads.
NOTE: Take extreme care not to cross thread the unit when installing into the
mounting accessory. Install the unit by threading into the mounting accessory; the
electrical contacts will automatically
engage. Be sure the unit is threaded tight. Tighten the set screw on the side of the
mounting accessory.
6. Energize unit and verify that proper charging of the fixture is occurring by
observing if the red charging indicator lamp inside of globe area is on.
7. Test emergency lamp operation by pressing PUSH-TO-TEST pushbutton of

test station and observe that the lamp operates.
8. To install optional guard (E) loosen the four screws on the bottom of the globe
support ring, slip the guard over the screws and rotate to the locked position.
Tighten the screws firmly.
NOTE: Emergency ballast must be charged for 36 hrs before running test(s).
MAINTENANCE:
As routine maintenance, this emergency fixture should be checked
periodically to ensure it is working. The following schedule is recommended.
1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It must be illuminated.
2. Test operation of the circuit at 30 day intervals for a minimum of 30
seconds. The lamp should operate.
3. Conduct a 90 minute discharge test once a year. The lamp should operate
for 90 minutes.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect the AC input and
inverter before servicing.
