1/2” threaded nipple. Attach the unit to the junction box.
Step 4:
Connect the Emergency power wiring leads.
a:
Connect the Emergency Power In and Power Out wiring leads (Black 12
AWG and Red 12 AWG) on the ALCR-PP with the emergency lighting loads
as shown in the above wiring diagram.
b:
Connect the Emergency Neutral (Gray 18 AWG) for the emergency circuit
to the Emergency Neutral lead as shown.
Step 5:
Connect the Normal sense wiring leads.
a:
Connect the Normal Power Sense (Black 18 AWG) and Normal Switch
Sense (Red 18 AWG) wiring leads to the normal lighting circuit as shown.
b:
Connect the Normal Neutral (White 18 AWG) lead to the normal Neutral for
the lighting loads.
Step 6:
Proceed to
"Initial Test" on page 7
.
Step 7:
If you are installing a remote triggering device to remotely activate the emergency
circuit, refer to
"Installing a Remote Activation Input to the ALCR-PP"
for wiring
instructions.
N o t e :
Follow all local code requirements for terminating wiring. Notice the harness
wires on the controller unit are pre-stripped for your installation convenience.
