INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment and this lighting device basic safety precautions should be followed at all times

including but not limited to the following:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

WARNING: 

Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect power at fuse or  circuit breaker before installing or servicing

WARNING:

 AC power must be off before proceeding with assembly or installation of emergency driver.

IMPORTANT: 

For use with non-dimming LED fixtures up to 40W. For use with LED fixtures that utilize 0-10V dimming that are above 40W, but this inverter will be limited 

to 40W (including driver).

IMPORTANT: 

An un-switched AC power source of 100Vac to 277Vac is required. This device is designed for use in fixtures listed for dry  , damp and wet locations.

CAUTION:

 Make sure all electrical connections conform to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local regulations.

CAUTION: 

Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.

CAUTION: 

Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.

CAUTION:

 Use within grounded, UL Listed, damp location rated fixtures and case should be grounding.

CAUTION:

 The equipment is intended for ordinary locations and for permanent installation into one or more Listed emergency luminaires.

CAUTION: 

Battery is rechargeable LiFePO4 type and must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Do not use this emergency driver with accessory equipment other than recommended by manufacturer; failure to follow these instructions may cause an unsafe 

condition. Servicing should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Do not use this emergency driver for other than intended use. Not suitable for high-risk 

task area lighting. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.

IMPORTANT: 

The output EM power will not exceed the max power rating of the battery.

IMPORTANT: 

Indicator (LED light) illuminated indicates battery in charge mode when AC power is applied. It is recommended and required by applicable code to test 

emergency ballast to ensure proper function of the system; push the test switch every thirty (30) days to ensure the emergency driver is functioning by illuminating the 

light source. Conduct a ninety (90) minutes discharge test one (1) time per year; LED light source should be illuminated for a minimum of ninety (90) minutes .

TESTING SYSTEM: 

The emergency battery requires a charge minimum of one (1) hour before testing the

circuit. A full charge requires twenty four (24 Hours) .

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure that the luminaire used meets the voltage and current requirements in the Product Information List and the 

illumination requirements in NFPA101. 

 

Ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application. Estimate the egress lighting illumination levels by doing the following:

1.  Find the efficacy of the LED load. This can be provided by the luminaire manufacture. This number will be given in lumens per watt 

(lm/w). It is the installer’s responsibility to validate the luminaire manufacturer’s efficacy data. This can be accomplished by direct 

measurement, by review of independent 3rd party test data (UL, ETL, etc.), accessing a public database of 3rd party data (such as 

Design Lights Consortium, www.designlights.org), or other comparable means.

2.  Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the backup nano inverter by the efficacy of the LED load. In many 

cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than this calculation gives, however it will provide a good 

estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.

3.  Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated illumination levels in the 

path of egress.

     Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Choosen Product

       _______________(Lumens) = __________________(lm/W) *  40(W)

The following fixtures have been verified for use: NICOR HBC3 series

NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED Drivers. However, compatibility cannot be 

guaranteed with all current and future LED systems. Compatibility testing of the end-use system is suggested. Please contact the factory 

with any questions.
