6. WIRING THE A.C. INPUT
A. The
ICE-80
and A.C. ballast
must
be on the same branch circuit.
B. The
ICE-80
requires an
unswitched
A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Select the proper voltage
lead and cap the unused lead.
C. When the
ICE-80
is used with a switched fixture, the A.C. input to the
ICE-80
must be connected ahead of the
fixture switch. Refer to
Illustration 3 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.
NOTE: The
ICE-80
will require a maximum power input of 100 watts when the internal heating element is active.

7. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the
Test Switch
and
Charge Indicator
. Annotate Re-lamping label for
lamp type and wattage. The Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to
anyone attempting to service the fixture.
8. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the
ICE-80
unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
– A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The
ICE-80
is in the
standby charging mode. The
Charge Indicator
will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
– The A.C. power fails. The
ICE-80
senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency Mode. One or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C.
power is restored, the
ICE-80
switches the system back to the
Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1
of the Instruction Manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the
Test Switch
turns off the light on the
Charge Indicator
and forces the unit into emergency mode, interrupt-
ing power to the designated A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the
ICE-80
unit. After releasing the
Test Switch
, the fixture returns to normal operation after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the circuit
breaker to turn off A.C. power.
Initial Testing
– Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour
charge before conducting a one hour test.
The
ICE-80
is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code,
outlines the following schedule:
Monthly
– Insure that the
Charge Indicator
light
is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the
Test Switch
. One lamp should operate at reduced output.
Annually
– Insure that the
Charge Indicator
light
is illuminated. Conduct a full 1
1
/
2
hour discharge test. The unit should
operate as intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
