READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not join battery connector or turn “ON” the battery switch
until installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the
emergency driver.
• This product is intended for use with an emergency LED
lighting load and supplies nominal of power and a maximum
voltage in emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes.
• An unswitched AC power source is required (120-277 VAC
50/60 Hz) to power these units.
• This product’s chassis must be grounded.
• This product is suitable for use in damp locations where the
ambient temperature is 0° C minimum, to 55° C maximum.
This product is also suitable for installation in sealed and
gasketed xture. This product is not suitable for heated air
outlets and wet or hazardous locations. Maximum allowable
case temp is 70° C. Refer to the below image for TC
measurement location.
• This product contains a rechargeable LiFePO4 battery.
The battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.
• Make certain all connectors are in accordance with the
National Electrical Codes and any local regulations.
• This emergency LED driver is suitable for both factory
or eld installation. For eld installation, please see the
instructions on page 3.
Check product label for specific electrical
specifications related to installation.
Improper installation will void warranty.
• Do not install near gas or electric heaters.
• The use of accessory equipment is not recommended
by the manufacturer and may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not use this product for applications other than the
intended use.
• Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights
where it will not be subjected to tampering by unauthorized
personnel.
• This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is suitable to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept
any interference that may cause undesired operation.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal
and emergency power supplies and place the battery switch
in the “OFF” or disconnect the battery connector of the
emergency driver before servicing.
• Do not attempt to service the battery. It is a sealed, no-
maintenance battery that is not eld replaceable. Contact
the manufacturer for information on service.
• Servicing should be performed by qualied service
personnel only.
• Emergency driver and standard driver must be on the same
branch circuit.
• Driver output is Class 2 at the intended output voltage range.

Testing
Manual Test
Test button can be held for manual testing purposes.
Note: A short-term discharge test may be conducted
after the emergency driver has been charged for one
hour. A 48-hour charging period must is required before
conducting a long-term discharge test.

EMERGENCY DRIVER AND AC DRIVER
MUST BE FED FROM THE SAME BRANCH
CIRCUIT TYPICALLY. IT MAY BE USED
WITH OTHER DRIVERS IF OUTPUT
IS SUFFICIENT.
Before installation, 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. This product should only be used for eld
installation with suitable LED loads. There are three checks to determine if your luminaire is eligible for eld installation.
• The rated power of the LED load must be greater than or equal to the power output of the emergency LED driver to ensure
that the LEDs will not be damaged when the system is in emergency mode.
• Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire’s LED array is within the limits of the emergency LED driver. The forward
voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the luminaire, in the luminaire specications,
or imprinted directly on the LED arrays. If multiple LED arrays are to be driven, verify that the total forward voltage is within
the limits of the emergency driver.
• Ensure the output current of the LED driver does not exceed 8 amps. This is the current into the red/blue output wire.

CAUTION: DO NOT JOIN BATTERY CONNECTOR OR ACTIVE BATTERY SWITCH UNTIL INSTALLATION
IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS SUPPLIED TO THE EMERGENCY DRIVER.
1. Disconnect AC power from the LED luminaire/driver.
2. Mount the emergency LED driver by the mounting tabs using appropriate screws (not provided).
Note: If the application requires the emergency LED driver to be mounted on top of the luminaire,
exible metal conduit should be used over wiring.
3. Mount the supplied illuminated test switch in a location that is visible and accessible by maintenance
personnel.
Note: The switch mounts through a hole which will need to be added to the luminaire or nearby structure.
4. Wire the test switch according to the wiring diagram. If wired correctly, the test switch indicator light
should be on when AC power is supplied to the xture, and the battery switch would be on indicating
that the emergency inverter battery is charging.
5. Connect the emergency driver to the AC driver and LED load according to wiring diagram. Make sure
all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
6. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency driver. At this point, power should
be connected to both the AC driver and the emergency driver, and the charging indicator light should
be illuminated indicating the battery is charging.
