ILLUSTRATION 5
NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label
6. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency ballast and join the battery connector.
7. A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency ballast has been charging for one
hour. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long -term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.
OPERATION
When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the battery is being
charged. When power fails, the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power, operating
one or two lamps at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.
MAINTENANCE
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast 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. Either one or two
lamps should operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. One lamp should operate at reduced illumination for at
least 90 minutes.
Refer any servicing indicated by these checks to qualified personnel.
