INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain A.C. power is off and the unit connector is disconnected.
STEP 1 – MOUNTING THE ILB CP HE AELR
The ILB CP HE AELR should be mounted on or nearby the fixture above the ceiling. The flex conduit marked “A” should be wired into the driver/lamp compartment or to an electrical junction box on the fixture which allows access to the fixture connections.
STEP 2 – WIRING TO THE LED LOAD AND NORMAL DRIVER
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE THREE-COLOR TEST SWITCH (TCTS)
- A. Cut a single gang switch box into the ceiling tile adjacent to the fixture within reach of the ILB CP HE AELR flex conduit marked “B”. After mounting the switch box, connect flex to the box and route all leads inside the box.
- B. Attach the switch box plate into the switch box. Insert the TCTS into the switch box plate hole so that it is facing outside the switch box. Secure the TCTS against the plate by screwing on the TCTS nut.
- C. Connect the TCTS wires to the ILB CP HE AELR per the diagram above, matching similar colored wire terminals if quick disconnect terminal labels adjacent to the TCTS. Annotate the Replacement Label with identical manufacturer part number(s).
STEP 4 – WIRING THE AC INPUT
The ILB CP HE AELR requires an unswitched AC input of 120-277 volts. Connect the BLACK/ORANGE wire to an unswitched 120-277 Line, and the WHITE wire to the Neutral. The remaining BLACK/WHITE wire must be connected to either an unswitched line, or a switched line input.
STEP 5 – LEDCODE CONNECTIONS
The ILB CP HE AELR is equipped with LEDCode wires that are used to interface with a Connected/LEDCode-enabled normal driver. Cap the Yellow and Brown wires separately if LEDcode wires are not present on the normal driver.
STEP 6 – APPLY AC POWER AND MATE UNIT CONNECTOR
- A. Apply continuous AC power to the unit and mate the ILB CP HE AELR unit connector. Allow the unit to charge for at least 1 hour before performing a functional test.
- B. Verify that the TCTS light is on. The TCTS LED will blink flashing Amber providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged, or will be lit solid Green if the battery is fully charged.
- C. Press and hold the TCTS button. The LED Module should be operating at a reduced light output. To complete the test, release the TCTS button. If the LED Module in the fixture returns to normal operation, the unit is ready for normal and emergency service. If not, contact Customer Service.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
A.C. power is present. The A.C. Driver operates the LED Module as intended. The ILB CP HE AELR is in the standby charg-ing mode. The TCTS will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
The A.C. power fails. The ILB CP HE AELR senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emergency Mode. The LED Module is illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the ILB CP HE AELR switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging.
ILB CP HE AELR models come equipped with a Bluetooth Module Junction Box to be used to pair with a connected emergency lighting management platform. Note: The Bluetooth Module Components have been pre-installed by the factory; nothing needs to be connected by the end user.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION – MATE THE UNIT CONNECTOR
This step must be completed after the ILB CP HE AELR has been installed in the mounting location and connected to the luminaire. DO NOT attempt to complete this step first. See the ILB CP HE AELR instruction manual for full installa- tion instructions.
To ensure proper Bluetooth operation, the Junction Box must be installed with the test switch facing down.
- Install the junction box in a suitable loca-tion where the test switch is visible. Ensure the test switch is facing down.
- Remove the screws from the test switch faceplate to lift it from the junction box.
- Mate the unit connector inside the junc-tion box after continuous AC power has been applied to the unit.

| Load Calibration | 4 X Press and Release |
Load Calibration
48 hours after the unit connector is joined, the ILB CP HE AELR will conduct a Load Calibration. Note: after the Load Calibration is complete, any changes to the LED load that will affect its nominal input voltage will necessitate a new Load Calibration. See Table 2 for the sequence of button presses to conduct a manual Load Calibration.
Replacement
Disconnect the unit connector and ensure that AC power is off before replacing an ILB CP HE AELR. If the model features quick disconnect terminals, mate similar colored wire terminals to install replacement.
FULL WIRING DIAGRAM
The purpose of this addendum is to sufficiently identify electrical compatibility and predictable emergency light output of the LED luminaire when used with the IOTA ILB CP Series LED emergency drivers. Verification of these operating traits does not constitute a code-compliant, as-installed emergency egress system. It is still the responsibility of the Designer/Specifier to assure appropriate light levels are achieved during emergency operation of the luminaire in accordance with Federal, state and local municipal codes regarding path of egress illumination.
- Determining Electrical Compatibility
- Verify Class 2 compliant driver per driver manufacture specifications.
- Verify that the Emergency Driver (ILB CP Series) selected does not exceed the power delivered to the LED array (voltage and current) of the normal driver.
- Calculating Lumen Output During Emergency Operation
- Assess luminaire/fixture data.
- DESIGNLIGHTS CONSORTIUM
- Log onto the DesignLights Consortium website (www.designlights.org).
- Click on “search the DLC Qualified Product List” button on the DLC homepage.
- In the “search by keyword” text window enter: luminaire manufacturer name and part number.
- Click on “Search” tab to open the “Qualified Products List.”
- Determine per “RATED DATA” efficacy shown in lumens per watt – (lm/w).
- Multiply lumens per watt by ILB-CP rated output (example: lm/w x 5 watts). Refer to table “ILB MODEL SPECIFICATION CHART” below for the wattage of the specific ILB CP model to be used in the luminaire. (lm/w) x (ILB CP Watts) = Minimum emergency lumens of fixture.
