During normal operation, AC power is supplied to the AC ballast/driver through the backup micro inverter and the inverter charges 
the battery. Connecting the inverter connector wires (red and white) enables the emergency circuit and supplies power to the con

-

trol/monitor circuit. The backup micro inverter detects AC input line voltage (120/277) and automatically sets the output voltage 
during emergency mode.

When AC power fails, the backup micro inverter automatically switches to emergency mode, keeping the load illuminated for a 
minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the backup micro inverter returns to charging mode. The backup micro inverter 

consists of a low-battery voltage disconnect which is reset when AC power is restored. The unit can also detect an abnormal load 

condition (open or shorted load) during emergency mode operation and will protect the inverter from damage.

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the backup micro inverter functional, it should be checked periodically to 
ensure that it is working.

 The following schedule is recommended:

 

 

1.  Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.

 

 

2.  Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. The lamp    

 

 

 

should operate at full illumination.

 

 

3.  Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The lamp should operate at full illumination for at  

 

   least 

90 

minutes.
