RAB WARRANTY:

 

RAB’s warranty is subject to all terms and conditions found at rablighting.com/warranty.

Note:  

These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide    

              for every possible situation during installation, operation or maintenance.

OPERATION

1.  When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is 

illuminated, indicating that the 

BATTERY

 is being charged.

2.  When power fails, the standby power automatically 

switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating 
at reduced illumination. Not all LED boards will illuminate 
with standby power. The emergency driver supplies 25W of 
power in standby power for a minimum of 90 minutes.

3.  When AC power is restored, the emergency driver 

automatically returns to charging mode.

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the 
emergency driver 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.

3.  Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. Fixture 

would operate at reduced illumination for a minimum of 

 

90 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

1. 

Is the fixture grounded properly?

2. 

If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after 
pressing the test button, check if battery is connected 
properly.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE

. Voltage could be 

present in 

BATTERY

. To prevent high voltage from being present 

on output leads, inverter connector must be open. Do not join 

BATTERY

 connector until installation is complete and AC power is 

supplied to the emergency driver

 (Fig. 11)

.

NOTE: 

Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is 

available. An 

UNSWITCHED

 AC source of power is required. The 

emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the 
LED driver.

CAUTION:

 Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V 

50/60 HZ.
1.  Connect 

UNSWITCHED HOT

 fixture lead to 

HOT 

AC supply line.

2.  If using an 

UNSWITCHED

 circuit, connect 

UNSWITCHED

 and 

SWITCHED

 lines together.

3.  If using a 

SWITCHED

 circuit, connect 

SWITCHED HOT 

AC fixture 

lead to the external 

SWITCHED

.

4.  Connect the 

NEUTRAL

 fixture lead to the 

NEUTRAL

 supply line.

5.  For 0-10V Dimming, connect

 DIM (+)

 and 

DIM (-)

 to the supply 

DIM (+)

 and 

DIM (-)

.

6.  Connect 

GROUND

 lead from the fixture to the supply ground. 

Do not connect 

GROUND

 to the output leads.

7.  All unused lead must be capped and insulated.
8.  After installation is complete, supply AC power to the fixture 

and connect the 

BATTERY

.

9.  When power is on, the fixture should be on and the Charging 

Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is 
charging.

10. Once the 

BATTERY

 has charged for at least one hour, a short 

duration test may be performed by pressing the test button.

11. After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test 

can be performed by shutting power to the fixture.
