INSTALLATION

STEP #1
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY BALLAST
> Disconnect AC power from the fixture. Remove the ballast channel cover and install the emergency ballast
either in the ballast channel or on top of the fixture.* Remote mounting distance must be less than half the
maximum remote mounting distance for the AC ballast. Consult AC ballast manufacturer before remote
installation.
> Depending on the type of fixture in use install emergency ballast using one of the methods illustrated below.

* For installation on top of the fixture, wire bundle covers (RMC-60) may be required by state or local codes. These covers are
available from the manufacturer as an accessory kit and must be ordered separately. Call your local distributor or the factory for complete
information.
STEP #2
INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
> Refer to the illustrations above 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.
> Refer to the diagrams on page 4 and wire the test switch so
that it removes AC power from the unswitched hot line to the
emergency ballast.
STEP #3
INSTALLING THE CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT
> Install the CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT as shown in the illustration on the next page so that it will be visible
after the fixture is installed.
TROFFER STYLE FIXTURE
NOTE: After installing the charging indicator light and test switch, mark each with the appropriate label.
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.
NOTE:
Make sure 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.
