BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

(Battery Backup option is only offered for the 24W models)

WIRING

CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage can be present in BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, Inverter connector must be open. Do not join BATTERY connector until Installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the emergency driver (Fig. 3).
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.

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

OPERATION

When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
When AC power fails , the standby power automatically switches to emergency mode (internal battery), operating at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.
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:

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

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