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 (internal battery), providing at 

least 90 minutes of emergency lighting.

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. One lamp 

  

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.
