4. Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.
5. Connect the gray fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.
6. Cap the yellow fixture lead, if present. Do NOT connect.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Check that the line voltage at the fixture is correct. Refer to wiring directions.
2. Is the fixture grounded properly?

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Be sure the fixture temperature is cool enough to touch. Do not clean or maintain while the fixture is energized.

1. The lens should be washed in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water, and wiped dry.
   WARNING: Polycarbonate is affected by cleaning agents or other liquids containing partial solvents such as low molecular weight aldehydes and ethers, ketones, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, and perchlorinated hydrocarbons. In addition, chemical attack ranging from partial to complete destruction of polycarbonate occurs in contact with alkalines, alkali salts, amines, and high zone concentrations. Please go to rablighting.com for a detailed list of damaging chemicals.

2. Do not open the fixture to clean the LED. Do not touch the LED.

WIRING

• CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. The voltage could be present in BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, the inverter connector must be open. Do not join the BATTERY connector until installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the emergency driver (Fig. 11).
• NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An UNSWITCHED AC source of power is required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the LED driver.
• CAUTION: Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V 50/60 HZ.

1. Connect the UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to the HOT AC supply line.
2. If using an UNSWITCHED circuit, connect UNSWITCHED and SWITCHED lines together.
3. If using a SWITCHED circuit, connect SWITCHED HOT AC fixture lead to the external SWITCHED.
4. Connect the NEUTRAL fixture lead to the NEUTRAL supply line.
5. For 0-10V Dimming, connect DIM (+) and DIM (-) to the supply DIM (+) and DIM (-).
6. Connect the GROUND lead from the fixture to the supply ground. Do not connect GROUND to the output leads.
7. All unused lead must be capped and insulated.
8. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the fixture and connect the BATTERY.
9. When power is on, the fixture should be on and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.
10. Once the BATTERY has been charged for at least one hour, a short-duration test may be performed by pressing the test button.
11. After the battery has been charged for 24 hours, a long-duration test can be performed by shutting the power to the fixture.

OPERATION

1. When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
2. When power fails, the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating at reduced illumination. Not all LED boards will illuminate with standby power. The emergency driver supplies 25W of power in standby power for a minimum of 90 minutes.
3. When AC power is restored, the emergency driver automatically returns to charging mode.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The fixture would operate at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Is the fixture grounded properly?
2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing the test button, check if the battery is connected properly.
