STEP #1

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED & YELLOW OUTPUT 

LEADS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, INVERTER CONNECTOR MUST BE OPEN.  DO NOT JOIN  

INVERTER CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS SUPPLIED TO 

THE EMERGENCY BALLAST.

STEP #2

WIRING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

>  See back page for detailed wiring schematics. The emergency ballast can be used with one- or two- lamp  

fixtures, and operates one lamp in the emergency mode. 

>  Cut fixture wire between the lamp holder and AC ballasts and connect the blue emergency ballast wire to 

the AC ballast and the yellow wire to the lamp holder.

>  On switched fixtures, an additional unswitched hot (120 or 277 VAC) wire must be run to the junction box 

and connected to the emergency ballast.

>  Connect LED by matching violet and brown leads. For optional tabbed LED, connect violet lead to positive 

(+) tab (marked). For Illuminated Test Switch (ITS) connect as shown on wiring diagrams by matching 
violet and brown leads and connecting the black leads to the emergency ballast white and white/black 
wires.

>  After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.

NOTE:  Make sure that 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.

STANDARD INSTALLATION

REMOTE INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

>  Disconnect AC power from the fixture.   

>  Refer to illustration below to install the emergency ballast and test/monitor plate. Make electrical connec-

tions in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations. The test/monitor plate may 
be installed close to the fixture in the ceiling or at a remote location (up to 50 feet). The emergency bal-
last  may be remotely installed up to 1/2 the distance the AC ballast manufacturer recommends remoting 
the AC ballast from the lamp, or up to 50 feet, whichever is less. If no AC ballast is used, the emergency  
ballast can be remotely mounted up to 50 feet away.  Note: A switch box is not supplied.

1    – Flexible conduit (supplied) to connect ballast wires.

2    – Existing conduit to run existing wires to lamp holder (AC ballast on junction box). If AC ballast is on  

 

 

 

reflector, run yellow and blue wires from emergency ballast through this conduit.

3    – AC line in.

4    – Conduit and junction box (not supplied), necessary for remote installation.
