Installation of this Emergency LED Driver will vary based on the luminaire type, however, generally follow these steps.
Step 1. Disconnect AC power to the LED lighting fixture. Remove lens and ballast channel cover from LED fixture if applicable. (see illustrations 2 & 4)
Step 2. Using the 2 supplied screws, mount the LED emergency driver. The lighting fixture instructions might provide suggestions on the driver mounting location
Step 3. Test switch/indicator light can be mounted directly to a xture surface thru a 1/2 inch diameter hole. Once nut is tightened, slip UL switch cover over wires,
pushing cover against xture surface completely covering switch, then afx ty-wrap over wires against cover to secure. Switch should be visible once xture is installed.
(see illustration 1 & 4)
Step 4. Test switch/indicator light can also be installed onto a driver channel cover through a 7/8 inch diameter hole (see illustrations 2 & 3.) Trim plastic tube to desired length,
afx UL switch cover as shown and place into tube. Afx both the small bushing and the large bushing onto the plastic tube as shown. Connect tie wrap onto wires,
tighten and insert into channel. Switch should be visible once xture is installed.
This product is suitable for field installation with suitable LED loads including LED luminaires, DC voltage driven LED
replacements for fluorescent lamps and others. There are 5 checks to determine if your luminaire is eligible for use with this LED
battery pack.
1. Ensure the LED load's rated power is greater than or equal to the power output of this emergency LED driver (7W). This is to ensure that this emergency product will not
produce more power than the LED load can handle, thus ensuring that the LED load will not be damaged when the system is in the emergency mode.
2. Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire's LED array is within the limits of this emergency LED driver. The forward voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as
Vf and should be found on the luminaire marking's, 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 this product. Using a voltage meter, it may be possible to directly measure the voltage across the LED array when
operating from the AC driver.
3. Ensure the output current of the LED driver does not exceed 1.6 Amps. This is the current into the blue wire.
4. Ensure the LED fixture’s rated efficacy is equal to or greater than 65 lm / watt. This is to ensure that the LED fixture can be mounted at or below the maximum rated
mounting height of 25.8 ft.
5. Ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application. Estimate the emergency egress lighting illumination levels by doing the following:
a. Find the efficacy of the LED lighting fixture. Luminaire efficacy information can be found at the Design Lights Consortium website (http://www. designlights.org),
Energy Star - Certified Products - product finder website (http://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/) or given by the luminaire manufacturer on product catalog
specification sheets. The LED fixture efficacy will be given in lumens per watt (lm/w).
b. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the emergency LED driver (7W) by the efficacy 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.
Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens Per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Chosen Product
(LUMENS) = (LM/W) * W
c. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated illumination levels in the path of egress.
NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads and is
electrically compatible with every simple LED array that meets criteria 1-5 above. 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.
NOTE: After installation, it will be necessary to measure the egress lighting illumination levels to ensure it
complies with national, state, and local code requirements.

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
25.8ft (7.8m). Many factors influence emergency illumination levels, such as the lamp
load selected, luminaire design, and environmental factors, therefore end use
verification is necessary. For installations where the attached luminaire is mounted at
heights greater then 25.8ft (7.8m), the level of illumination must be measured in the
end application to ensure the requirements of NFPA 101 and local codes are
satisfied.
WIRING
Step 5. Select correct wiring diagram to connect the emergency driver to the LED load, AC LED driver and Switch. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and any local regulations.
Step 6. Install the labels “CAUTION” & “STATUS” in a visible location (see illustration 4).
Step 7. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the invertor connector.
Step 8. At this point, power should be connected to both the AC driver and the emergency driver, and the charging indicator light should illuminate indicating the battery is
charging.
Step 9. A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency ballast has been charged for one hour.
Step 10. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to “Operation” section below
Note: Make sure the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is required.
The emergency ballast must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC ballast.
EMERGENCY DRIVER AND AC DRIVER MUST BE FED FROM THE SAME BRANCH CIRCUIT

OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
During normal operation AC power is applied, the charging red 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 (red
LED on). The unit also has a visual indication of unit malfunction when their is a “Charger Fault” with the red LED blinking three
times with a 3 second pause between the 3 blink group.
All steel, aluminum and thermoplastic parts are recyclable.
NOTICE: Emergency units contain rechargeable batteries
which must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Ni-Cd
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.
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.
*REFER ANY SERVICING INDICATED BY THESE CHECKS TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL*
Recycling Information
NOTE: For short term testing of the emergency function, the battery must be charged for at least one hour. The
emergency driver must be charged for at least 24 hours before conducting a long term test.
