3.  Power controlled output: This feature maintains consistent 

light output during the entire 90 minutes of emergency 
operation ensuring there is no drop in lumen output as the 
battery voltage drops.

Field Installation Classification (EBPLED7W, EBPLED14W)

1.  Determine electrical compatability with fixture: Verify the 

emergency driver wattage (7 watts or 14 watts depending 
on model) does not exceed the drivers AC input. Also, verify 
that the forward voltage of the LEDs are within the operating 
parameters of the selected model (see table below).

2.  Calculate Lumen output during emergency operation:       

Go to the website www.designlights.org and identify the 
light fixture by using the available search criteria. Determine 
the fixture rated data – efficacy in lumens/watt. Multiply 
the fixture efficacy by the output wattage of the selected 
emergency battery pack to determine the lumen output of 
the fixture during emergency operation.

  Example:   Fixture efficacy = 100 lumens/watt
   

EBPLED7W provides 7 watts of constant power  

 

(Use 14W for EBPLED14W)

   

Fixture output = 100 lumens/watt X 7 watts = 700  

 

lumens during emergency operation

3.  Insure means of egress lighting levels: Follow industry 

standard methods of lighting layout to determine placement 
of emergency battery pack equipped fixtures. Verify the 
selected EBP will provide sufficient lumen output to meet 
path of egress illumination requirements.

INSTALLATION

1.  Mounting The EBP can be mounted inside a fixture channel, 

on the back of a fixture, or near the fixture.  The flex conduit 
should be connected to a junction enclosure which allows 
access to the wiring connections for grounding.

  (Note: EBP assemblies without conduit must be factory 

installed in the wireway of the fixture).

2.  Wiring Refer to the block diagram below for the wiring of the 

LED load, AC driver, and AC power.

  The unswitched AC power for the EBP and the power for the 

AC driver should be from the same branch circuit to prevent 
disconnecting 2 sources of power and the battery during 
servicing.

3.  Mounting the Test Button / Indicator Light / Laser Input 

Mount the Test Button / Indicator Light / Laser Input so the 
indicator light is visible once the fixture is installed.  Proper 
mounting is required for accessibility and functionality of the 
laser input testing feature and EZ key battery disconnect.

OPERATION

Once AC power is permanently applied to the blue wire of the 
fixture remove the EZ key and store it for later use.  When AC 
power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, 
indicating the battery is being charged.  When the power fails, 
the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency 
power, operating its LED load at the rated output for at least 90 
minutes.

NOTE:  The battery is not fully charged until 24 hours after the 
AC power is applied.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the 
emergency LED driver functional, it should be checked 
periodically to verify proper operation.  Follow any applicable 
local or national codes.  The following schedule is the minimum 
required to meet NFPA 101 standards:

1

.  Visually inspect that the charging light is illuminated 

monthly.

2.  Test the emergency operation of the fixture monthly for a 

minimum of 30 seconds. Perform the test by pressing the 
test button / indicator light for 30 seconds or aiming a laser 
pointer at the clear test button. The LED load should operate 
at the rated output.  

 (Note:  The laser test will not trigger if the ambient light is 

too high. The light must be switched off in fixtures where the 
test button is in close proximity to the light, or the test will 
need to be triggered mechanically)  

3.  Conduct a 90 minute discharge test annually by 

disconnecting the unswitched power. The LED load should 
operate at the rated output for at least 90 minutes.

4.  Keep written records of testing

 

Refer any service requirements indicated by these 

checks to qualified personnel.
