INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment and this lighting device basic safety precautions should be followed at all times
including but not limited to the following:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing
WARNING: AC power must be o before proceeding with assembly or installation of emergency driver.
IMPORTANT: For use with non-dimming LED xtures up to 40W. For use with LED xtures that utilize 0-10V dimming that are above 40W, but this inverter will be limited
to 40W (including driver).
IMPORTANT: An un-switched AC power source of 100Vac to 277Vac is required. This device is designed for use in xtures listed for dry , damp and wet locations.
CAUTION: Make sure all electrical connections conform to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local regulations.
CAUTION: Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
CAUTION: Use within grounded, UL Listed, damp location rated xtures and case should be grounding.
CAUTION: The equipment is intended for ordinary locations and for permanent installation into one or more Listed emergency luminaires.
CAUTION: Battery is rechargeable LiFePO4 type and must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Do not use this emergency driver with accessory equipment other than recommended by manufacturer; failure to follow these instructions may cause an unsafe
condition. Servicing should only be performed by qualied service personnel. Do not use this emergency driver for other than intended use. Not suitable for high-risk
task area lighting. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
IMPORTANT: The output EM power will not exceed the max power rating of the battery.
IMPORTANT: Indicator (LED light) illuminated indicates battery in charge mode when AC power is applied. It is recommended and required by applicable code to test
emergency ballast to ensure proper function of the system; push the test switch every thirty (30) days to ensure the emergency driver is functioning by illuminating the
light source. Conduct a ninety (90) minutes discharge test one (1) time per year; LED light source should be illuminated for a minimum of ninety (90) minutes .
TESTING SYSTEM: The emergency battery requires a charge minimum of one (1) hour before testing the
circuit. A full charge requires twenty four (24 Hours) .
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that the luminaire used meets the voltage and current requirements in the Product Information List and the
illumination requirements in NFPA101.
Ensure there will be sucient light output in the end application. Estimate the egress lighting illumination levels by doing the following:
1. Find the ecacy of the LED load. This can be provided by the luminaire manufacture. This number will be given in lumens per watt
(lm/w). It is the installer’s responsibility to validate the luminaire manufacturer’s ecacy data. This can be accomplished by direct
measurement, by review of independent 3rd party test data (UL, ETL, etc.), accessing a public database of 3rd party data (such as
Design Lights Consortium, www.designlights.org), or other comparable means.
2. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the backup nano inverter by the ecacy of the LED load. In many
cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than this calculation gives, however it will provide a good
estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.
3. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated illumination levels in the
path of egress.
Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Choosen Product
_______________(Lumens) = __________________(lm/W) * 40(W)
The following xtures have been veried for use: NICOR HBC3 series
NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED Drivers. However, compatibility cannot be
guaranteed with all current and future LED systems. Compatibility testing of the end-use system is suggested. Please contact the factory
with any questions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of Battery Pack
• Select a suitable location on the ceiling for mounting.
• Install the hook (1) to the top of the EMB400 (2) and lock
with set screw.
• Install the ring (7) to the bottom of the EMB400 (6) and lock
with set screw.
• Open the cover of junction box (4). Cover has safety cable.
• Hook the EMB400 to a suitable hanging device secured to
structure.
• Hang the xture (8) to the ring of the EMB400. Lock down
safety screw.
• Install the BX cables on AC wires and dimming wires (3) per
the wiring diagram.

Wiring of Battery Pack
• Use the wiring diagram as reference.
• Connect the AC power source leads (Switched and
Unswitched) to the input of the EMB400.
• Connect the output leads of the EMB400 to the Fixture
• Wire the xture in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
• Make sure all connections are in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
• In a readily visible location, attach the label “CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power connection point.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both
the branch circuit breakers/fuses and disable EM
output before servicing. Disable output by holding the
test switch down for 3 seconds while the EMB400 is
operating in emergency mode.”

Complete Installation
• After installation is complete, apply AC power .
• The Charging Indicator Light should illuminate indicating
the battery is charging.
• A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the
backup nano inverter has been charging for 1 hour.
• Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term
discharge test.
