STEP #1  

INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST

                 > 

Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the  

               

ballast channel cover and install the emergency 

 

               

ballast in the ballast channel (see Illustration 1).

 

       

  

       > 

Remote mounting distance must be less than half  

               

the maximum remote mounting distance for the  

         AC 

ballast. 

Consult 

AC 

ballast 

manufacturer 

 

         before 

remote 

installation.

STEP #2 

INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH

                 > 

Refer to Illustration 2 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.  

                 > 

Wire the test switch so that it removes AC power  

               

from both the emergency ballast and the AC ballast  

               

at the same time (see Illustration 3).

STEP #3 

INSTALLING THE CHARGING 

  INDICATOR 

LIGHT

                 > 

Refer to Illustration 3A or 3B and install the charg- 

               

ing indicator light so that it will be visible after the  

               

fixture is installed.

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 that 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.
