FOR V-HOOK MOUNTING OR CHAIN MOUNTING

Mount Housing to sturdy ceiling structure as follows:

1. V-Hooks (2) and Chain are provided for mounting. Secure V-Hooks through Bracket Hole at back of Center Housing Channel, or secure chains through Chain Mounting Slots in the ends of the housing shown in Fig. 5.
   

2. Fixture mounting height and spacing should be determined by application requirements.

3.  Remove Access Plate and feed supply wire with strain relief connector. Make electrical connections as shown in wiring diagram (Fig. 7). Use approved wiring connectors and wire to local NEC codes. Push all wires back into Center Housing Channel. Be careful not to pinch wires.
   

4. Reinstall Access Plate and secure with supplied Screw (1).

FOR PENDANT MOUNTING

(Accessory ordered separately – Model# JBARBAY2)

1. Choose length of 1/2” NPS Pendant Stem (supplied by others).

2. Install Pendant Junction Box (ordered separately) to Center Housing Channel by mounting Pendant Junction Box on Center Housing Channel and securing with supplied Screws (4) and Washers (4) as shown in Fig. 6.
   

3. Feed wires through Pendant Stem and into Pendant Junction Box. Wire the housing leads to supply wires using UL listed wire connectors according to NEC and local codes in the Pendant Junction Box. Push all wires back into Pendant Junction Box, install Side Panels (2) with supplied Screws (2). Be careful not to pinch wires.

0-10V DIMMABLE WIRING

Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V thru 277V, 50 or 60 Hz. Units ordered with (/480) suffix are 480V, 50Hz or 60Hz. For 0-10V Dimming, follow the wiring directions as shown in Fig. 7.

1. Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.
2. Connect the white fixture lead to the COMMON supply lead.
3. Connect the GROUND wire from fixture to supply ground.
4. Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.
5. Connect the pink (or gray) fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.
   NOTE: Do not connect DIM V+ (purple)/ DIM V- (pink or gray) to line voltage or supply ground.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Check that the line voltage at the fixture is correct.
2. Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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

1. Lens can be washed only after removing from fixture and only in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. Do not use chemicals to clean Lens or fixture.
2. Do not open fixture to clean the LED. Do not touch the LED.
   Note: These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide every possible situation during installation, operation or maintenance.

DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both normal and emergency power supplies and converter connector of the emergency driver before servicing. Do not attempt to service the emergency driver. The use of accessory equipment may cause an unsafe condition. Do not use this product for other than intended use. Refer any servicing indicated by these checks to a Qualified Service Personnel.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING

CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage could be present in BAT TERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, inverter connector must be open. Do not join
BAT TERY connector until installation is complete and AC power is supplied to the emergency driver (Fig. 8).
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 UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to 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 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 charged for at least one hour, a short duration test may be performed by pressing the test button.

11. After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test can be performed by shutting 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. 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 battery is connected properly.

Note: These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible situation during installation, operation or maintenance.
