INSTALLATION
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.
1. Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the
ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast
in the ballast channel (see Illustration 1).
2. Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect
the emergency ballast to the AC ballast and lamp.
Make sure all connections are in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
3. 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 wiring diagrams section of
these instructions).
4. Refer to Illustration 3A or 3B and install the charging
indicator light so that it will be visible after the fixture is
installed.
5. In a readily visible location, attach the label
“CAUTION– This Unit Has More Than One Power
Connection Point. To Reduce The Risk Of Electric
Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers
Or Fuses And Emergency Power Supplies Before
Servicing.”
6. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the
emergency ballast and join the inverter connector.
7. A short-term discharge test may be conducted after
the emergency ballast has been charging for one hour.
Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term
discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.
NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label. If a
detached charging indicator light is used, connect by matching wire colors and install as shown on the
installation insert page.
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.
