2.3.2 ELIS Input / Output Wiring The input and output wiring is located behind enclosure panels. See Figure 2: ELIS Main Components 0.75 - 3.00kW for component layout. NOTE: Connect the earth ground wire first when making wire connection. Disconnect the earth ground wire last when making wire disconnection.
2.3.3 Optional Output Circuit Breakers (OCB) Output circuit breaker(s) for distributing and controlling the load connected to the ELIS are available. See Figure 2: ELIS Main Components 0.75 - 3.00kW. A grounding bar & neutral bar are provided with this option.
2.3.5 Normally-Off Hold (NOH) Option Normally-Off hold allows for the fixtures, lamps and/or loads connected to the ELIS to immediately begin operating at full-light output in the event of an AC power outage, as required by UL924 egress codes. When utility source is restored, the ELIS will continue supplying power to the connected emergency circuits for the duration of the timer setting.
2.4 EPO Connection Note: Keep the EPO connector shorted for normal ELIS operation. To activate EPO function, open the terminals. Terminals are shorted/NC for normal ELIS operation. Figure 13: EPO connections WARNING: The EPO, RS-232 and USB circuits are an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit.

7. Recommended Replacement Intervals The Staco ELIS has a long design life. Due to the characteristics of the part, not the design of the ELIS, certain components used in the design have a limited life, even with proper maintenance. Service and maintenance work must be performed only by factory authorized personnel. Staco recommends these limited-life components be periodically inspected and replaced before the expected expiration of their life cycle.
