INSTALLATION

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.

  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 appropriate 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 Illustration 1 & 2). Refer to the wiring diagrams section and wire 

the test switch so it removes AC power from the unswitched hot line to the emergency ballast.

  4.  Refer to Illustration 4 and install the charging indicator light so that it will be visible after the fixture is installed.

  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.”

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED AND 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.

NOTE:  After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label. If 

a detached charging indicator light is used, connect by matching wire colors and install as shown 

in Illustration 4.

*For installation on top of the fixture, wire bundle covers may be required by state or local codes. These covers are available from the

manufacturer as an accessory kit and must be ordered separately. Call your local distributor or the factory for complete infomation.

WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH VOLTAGE FROM BEING PRESENT ON RED AND 
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.
