INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain the IP67 Rated Test Switch (IPS) is disconnected (“S” models only) and A.C. power is off.
STEP 1 – MOUNTING THE ILBDW
The ILBDW should be mounted nearby the fixture within suitable
reach of the PVC conduit.
IOTA provides several mounting accessories to enable suspended or surface
mounting of the ILBDW that can be acquired by contacting Customer Service or
your local Sales Representative.
The flex conduit should be wired into an available opening on the luminaire.
The gasket (provided) should be installed between the
PVC conduit and the luminaire opening.
The ILBDW must be oriented such that the arrow on the unit label faces up.
STEP 2 – WIRING TO THE LED LOAD AND NORMAL DRIVER
Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram to the right. Make sure all
connections are in accordance with NEC and any other local requirements.
The ILBDW is designed to interface with compatible loads only. See
Illustration 1 for output voltage ratings per ILBDW model.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE IP67-RATED TEST SWITCH (IPS)
For “SLTEST” Models
(IPS test switch is secured to the ILBDW housing): The IPS test switch is pre-
installed by the factory. No additional connections are needed.
For “S” Models
(IPS test switch is included in the PVC conduit): refer to the steps below for
installing the IPS test switch in the luminaire.
- The IPS must be installed in a suitable hole in the luminaire wall or wireway cover. Insert the IPS into the hole so that the LED test button/pilot light is located outside of the fixture or behind the lens and the gasket (provided) is located between the LED test button and fixture housing or lens.
- Secure the IPS using the IPS nut.
- Connect and fully engage the IPS Connector to the IPS Socket. Ensure the IPS Connector is properly seated in the IPS Socket, then mark the IPS location on the switch box plate with the IPS Label and apply the Status Indicator Sticker.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION
STEP 4 – WIRING THE AC INPUT
The ILBDW requires an unstitched AC input of 120-277 volts. Connect the BLACK
wire to the 120-277 Line, the WHITE wire to the Neutral, and the GREEN wire to
Ground.
STEP 5 – APPLY AC POWER
- Apply continuous AC power to the unit, and allow the unit to charge for at least 1 hour before performing a functional test.
- Verify that the IPS light is on. The lamp will show Red for low battery and Green for sufficient battery charge.
- Press and hold the IPS button for two seconds. The pilot light will blink. Within five seconds, the LED Module should be operating at a reduced light output. The test mode runs for 60 seconds. To exit the test mode earlier, press and hold the IPS button for two seconds. If the LED Module in the fixture returns to normal operation, the unit is ready for normal and emergency service. If not, see the Troubleshooting section.
This unit features AC Activate technology which detects the presence of AC power and automatically engages the battery charging circuit. No manual unit (or “go”) connector needs to be joined. Instead, connecting the IPS (the IPS is automatically connected on “SLTEST” models) and applying continuous AC power to the unit will enable charging and emergency operation.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
A.C. power is present. The A.C. Driver operates the LED Module as intended.
The ILBDW is in the standby charging mode. The IPS will be lit providing a
visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
The A.C. power fails. The ILBDW 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 ILBDW switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes
battery charging.

TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Automatic Testing
The ILBDW is designed to automatically test the emergency function for 60
seconds each month, and 90 minutes every 12 months.
Self-testing works in conjunction with the IPS assembly. Any detected failures
will be indicated by flashing of the three-color LED. See Table A for
diagnosis.
Manual Testing
Manual testing of the ILBDW can be performed by pressing and releasing the IPS
test button. Only initiate a manual test when the IPS status indicator light
is GREEN (see Table A). Manual testing lasts 60 seconds and may be cancelled
at any time during the test duration by pressing and holding
the IPS.
Table A: IPS Diagnostic Codes
STATUS INDICATION | CONDITION |
---|---|

FLASHING GREEN | UNIT IS PERFORMING A TEST |
FLASHING RED/GREEN | INSUFFICIENT CHARGE |
FLASHING RED (ONCE PER 0.5 SEC.) | BATTERY MAY BE MISSING |
FLASHING RED (ONCE PER 6 SEC.) | BATTERY FAILURE |
TWO RED FLASHES | LOAD FAILURE |
THREE RED FLASHES | ELECTRONICS FAILURE |
FOUR RED FLASHES | TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE |
Load Calibration
To ensure proper operation, Load Calibration is required whenever the LED load
connected to the ILBDW is changed. Note: Load Calibration happens
automatically 48 hours after the ILBDW is first installed. If after
installation, the connected LED load is changed, Load Calibration will need to
be performed. This will happen automatically 48 hours after the ILBDW is re-
initialized (see Maintenance section below). To manually initiate Load
Calibration earlier, press and hold the IPS button for 20 seconds. After 20
seconds, the LED load will turn off. Release the IPS button. The LED load
should turn back on and the IPS will begin FLASHING GREEN to indicate that the
60-second Load Calibration is commencing. Any failures detected during Load
Calibration will be indicated on the IPS (see Table A).
Maintenance
When performing maintenance on the ILBDW or the emergency luminaire, the ILBDW battery circuit must be completely pow-ered down by performing the following steps:
- Disconnect AC power. The ILBDW will enter EMERGENCY MODE.
- Disconnect the battery circuit through one of the following methods:
Method 1: This can only be performed within the first 30 seconds of EMERGENCY Mode – Press and hold the IPS button for approximately five seconds until the LED Module shuts off.
Method 2 (“S” Models Only): Unplug the IPS
Once all power sources are disconnected from the ILBDW and emergency
luminaire, proceed with required maintenance.
When maintenance is complete, reconnect the IPS (if unplugged from Method 2
above) and restore AC power to the emergency luminaire. The AC Activate
circuitry will detect the presence of AC power and automatically re-activate
the ILBDW battery charging circuit.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the
authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

regulations. For additional wiring diagrams consult Customer Service.
CP Series Compatibility and Suitability of Use Guidelines
Addendum (Rev.11042014)
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 ILBDW 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 that the Emergency Driver (ILBDW CP Series) selected does not exceed the power delivered to the LED array (voltage and current) of the normal driver.
- Verify that the normal operating point of the LED driver does not exceed 55 Vdc (for CP10/CP15 models) or 200 Vdc (for CP20 models).
- Calculating Lumen Output During Emergency Operation
- Assess luminaire/fixture data.
- DESIGNLIGHTS CONSORTIUM
* Log onto the Design Lights 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 ILBDW CP rated output (example: lm/w x 10 watts). Refer to table “ILBDW MODEL SPECIFICATION CHART” below for the wattage of the specific ILBDW CP model to be used in the luminaire. (lm/w) x (ILBDW CP Watts) = Minimum emergency lumens of fixture.
* Determine per “RATED DATA” the “wattage of the luminaire.”
ILBDW MODEL SPECIFICATION CHART OUTPUT POWER (CONSTANT)
ILBDW CP10| 10 WATTS
ILBDW CP15| 15 WATTS
ILBDW CP20| 20 WATTS
3. Determining Adequacy of Means-of-Egress Lighting Levels
- Follow industry standards by utilizing availableness files and lighting design software for your dedicated emergency luminaires, with the above calculated emergency lumens, and validate your as-installed plans in accordance with the applicable life safety codes governing your project, typically 1fc on the ground along the full means of egress.
While the ILBDW CP series has been found compliant with the requirements of UL Standard 924, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Designer/Specifier to assure the as-installed system delivers code-compliant path of egress illumination in accordance with Federal, State or local municipal requirements.
