WIRING FOR EMERGENCY (-ER) UNITS
T568B pin/pair assignment is recommended for all CAT-5e cables. Unit powers itself but does not provide any bus power to other connected nLight devices.
For Supply Connections, use 14 AWG or larger wires rated for at least 75º C.
•
Mount through a ½” knockout in any junction box or luminaire. Secure with lock nut.
•
Following above wiring diagram, connect wires to line voltage feed(s), neutral(s), and load.
•
If applicable, connect low voltage violet and gray dimming wires to 0-10 VDC ballast/driver and green wire
to an approved ground connection. Note wires have 600V rated insulation.
•
Interconnect unit (via RJ-45 ports) with other nLight devices in lighting zone using CAT-5e cables.
ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY (-ER) INSTRUCTIONS
PUSH-BUTTON TESTING
: As long as the relay is in the open (lights off) position and normal power is present,
you are able to simulate normal power being lost by pressing and releasing the unit’s push-button one time.
After a few seconds the relay will close for 4 seconds, then open back up and return to normal operation. A
separate push-button test switch (not included) can also be wired in as shown in above diagrams.
INTERFACING WITH A FIRE ALARM PANEL:
To interface unit to a fire alarm system such that the relay is
overriden upon activation of the fire alarm system, the fire alarm system must provide a normally closed relay
which opens when the fire alarm system is activated. This relay must be put in series with the Black power
sense line on the
nPP16 ER
. When the normally closed relay opens, the
nPP16 ER
will close its relay to
provide egress lighting when the fire alarm system is activated.

Notes
1) Connect to 120VAC or 277VAC feed ONLY. Cap off unused wire.
2) For 347V product, Red wire is 347VAC Emer. Feed
3) Normal Sense input: 120-277VAC. For 347V product: 120-347VAC
