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 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.
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.
> Mounting Height: This product meets or exceeds the NFPA minimum light requirements with all loads, down
to the smallest rated lamp load, at heights up to 7.17ft (2.2m). Many factors influence emergency illumination
levels, such as the lamp load selected, luminare design, and environmental factors therefore end use
verification is necessary. For field installations, when the attached luminaire is mounted at heights greater than
7.17ft (2.2m), the level of illumination must be measured in the end application to ensure the requirements of
NFPA 101 and local codes are satisfied.
* For installation on top of the fixture, wire bundle covers (RMC-LP) 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.
