IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Disconnect power before performing work on electrical equipment.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. Do not let power cords touch hot surfaces and do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
5. Use caution when servicing batteries. Battery acid can cause burns to skin and eyes. If acid is spilled on skin or
eyes, flush with fresh water and contact a physician immediately.
6. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where unauthorized personnel will not readily subject it to
tampering.
7. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause an unsafe condition, and
will void the unit’s warranty.
8. Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.
9. Servicing of this equipment should be performed by qualified service personnel.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
INSTALLATION
1. Extend unswitched 24 hour AC supply of rated voltage to a junction box or appropriate device wiring (supplied by
others) installed in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Leave at least 8 inches of slack wire. This
circuit should NOT be energized/live at this time.
2. Drill 7/8” hole in area provided for AC supply and/or remote load and install bushing provided (Figure 3).
3. Mount the unit securely into place. Install four (4) mounting feet to the back of the cabinet. Fasten each foot with an
appropriately sized screw or mounting bolt (not supplied) through each hole and into the mounting surface/wall.
Each fastener must be securely in place to properly support
the unit.
4. Open the unit by unscrewing the two (2) cover screws on the one side of the unit (Figure 1). The hinged door can
then be swung down.
5. Make proper wiring connections between the AC supply and the unit’s transformer per diagram provided (Figure 4).
Insulate unused wire!
Connect ground to supplied green ground wire in accordance with local codes. Reassemble
all wire connections and connectors.
CAUTION! - Failure to insulate unused wire may result in a shock hazard
or unsafe condition as well as equipment failure. All wires must be dressed and routed to ensure they will not
come in contact with the circuit board.
6. Connect the wire lead(s) from the positive circuit board terminal (+) to the positive terminal connector on the battery
(Figure 3). For large units the batteries may be shipped separate from the cabinet. Install the batteries into the cabinet
and make the appropriate inter-battery connections (Figure 5).
7. Close cover and secure cover screws.
8. Turn on AC line voltage supply.
9. Position lamps/heads to provide best lighting distribution by loosening head set screws to adjust angle and swivel
Manually rotate or twist head to desired position then tighten set screws to lock position.
Tufflite Unit (TXP)
CAUTION
WARNING! Before servicing parts, ensure area is known to be non-hazardous
This equipment is furnished with a sophisticated low voltage battery dropout circuit to protect the battery from over-discharge
after it’s useful output has been used. Allow 24 hours recharge time after installation or power failure for full load testing.
OPERATION
1. To test, pass a magnet over test marking to initiate the test (Figure 1). Charge indicator will go out and the DC lamps
will come on.
2. A bright charge indicator indicates a high charge rate. After the battery has reached full charge, the indicator light will
go out. Under normal operation the high charge indicator will turn off and on intermittently while the unit is in standby
mode (regular/mains AC present) since the charge rate will vary in order to maintain an optimal battery charge.
