INSTALLATION
WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE ON RED & YELLOW OUTPUT LEADS PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION, BATTERY CONNECTOR MUST BE OPEN. JOIN BATTERY CONNECTOR
AFTER INSTALLATION, AND AFTER AC POWER IS TURNED ON.
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.
1. Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the
emergency ballast either in the ballast channel (See Illustrations 1 & 2) or on top of the fixture*
(See Illustration 3).
2. Select the appropiate wiring diagram to connect the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and
lamp. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local
regulations.
3. Install the test switch through the ballast channel cover of a troffer or through the side of a strip fixture.
Drill a 1/2" hole and install the switch as shown (See Illustrations 1 & 2). Wire the test switch so that it
removes AC power from both the emergency ballast and the AC ballast at the same time (See Illustration 4).
4. Refer to Illustration 5 and install the charging indicator light so that it will be visible after the fixture is installed.
NOTE:
After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropiate
label. If a detached charging indicator light is used, connect by matching wire colors and
install as shown in Illustration 5.
5. 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 Or Fuses and
Emergency Power Supplies Before Servicing.”
