INSTALLATION

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

STEP #1

INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

>  Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast  

either in the ballast channel or on top of the fixture.* 

Remote mounting distance must be less than half the 

maximum remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC ballast manufacturer before remote 

installation.

>  Depending on the type of fixture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.

STEP #2

INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH

>  Refer to the illustrations above and 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.  

>  Refer to the diagrams on page 4 and wire the test switch so 

that it removes AC power from the unswitched hot line to the 
emergency ballast.

*  For  installation  on  top  of  the  fixture,  wire  bundle  covers  (RMC-60)  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 

 

 information.
