INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Before installing, make certain A.C. power is off and the Threaded Body Test Switch (TBTS) is disconnected.
STEP 1 – MOUNTING THE ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV
The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is designed to be installed inside the luminaire channel or wireway. Place the unit on the luminaire mounting surface and fasten through the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV mounting slots using serrated head screws (U3840).
STEP 2 – WIRING TO THE LED LOAD AND NORMAL DRIVER
Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram below. Make sure all connections are in accordance with NEC and any other local requirements. The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is designed to interface with high voltage (non-class 2) LED Loads. See Illustration 1 for output voltage ratings per ILBHI model.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE THREADED BODY TEST SWITCH (TBTS)
- Locate a suitable location for the TBTS and cable that is visible outside the fixture. Drill or punch a 1/2” diameter hole in the fixture wall or wireway cover. Insert the TBTS into the hole so that the LED test button/pilot light is located outside of the fixture.
- Secure the TBTS using the TBTS nut.
- Connect and fully engage the TBTS Connector to the TBTS Socket. Ensure the TBTS Connector is properly seated in the TBTS Socket, then mark the TBTS location on the fixture with the TBTS Label and apply the SD Status Indicator Sticker.
Remote Mounting – The TBTS may be remote mounted from the fixture up to 25 feet. Before extending the TBTS wires, ensure that AC Power is off and the TBTS has been disconnected. To extend the TBTS wires, splice the TBTS leads between the test switch and connector and install a patch cable (minimum 18 AWG) of the desired length to the spliced ends. Be sure to observe wire color. After extending the TBTS wires, follow the installation procedure (steps A, B, and C) above to recconnect the TBTS.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION
STEP 4 – WIRING THE AC INPUT
The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV requires an unswitched AC input of 347/480 volts. Connect the BLACK wire to the 347/480 Line, and the WHITE wire to the Neutral.
CAUTION: The case must be grounded.
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 TBTS light is on. The lamp will illuminate Red while the battery is charging and Green when the battery is fully charged.
- Press and hold the TBTS 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 TBTS 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 TBTS and applying continuous AC power to the unit will enable battery charging and emergency operation.
OPERATION
Normal Mode
A.C. power is present. The A.C. Driver operates the LED Module as intended.
The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is in the standby charging mode. The TBTS will be lit
providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode
The A.C. power fails. The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV 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 120 minutes. When the A.C.
power is restored, the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV switches the system back to the
Normal Mode and resumes battery charging.

Manual Testing
Manual testing of the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV can be per-formed by pressing
and holding the TBTS test button for two seconds. Only initiate a manual test
when the TBTS status indicator light is GREEN (see Table A). Manual testing
lasts 60 seconds and may be cancelled at any time during the test dura-tion by
pressing and holding the TBTS for at least two seconds.
Load Calibration
To ensure proper operation, Load Calibration is required whenever the LED
load connected to the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is changed. Note: Load Calibration
happens automatically 48 hours after the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is first
installed. If after in-stallation, the connected LED load is changed, Load
Calibration will need to be performed. This will happen automatically 48 hours
after the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV is re-initialized (see Maintenance section
below). To manually initiate Load Calibration earlier, press and hold the TBTS
button for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the LED load will turn off. Release
the TBTS button. The LED load should turn back on and the TBTS 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 TBTS
(see Table A).
Maintenance
When performing maintenance on the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV or the emergency
luminaire, the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV bat-tery circuit must be completely
powered down by performing the following steps:
- Disconnect AC power. The ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV 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 TBTS button for approximately five seconds until the LED Module shuts off. Method 2: Unplug the TBTS
Once all power sources are disconnected from the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV and emergency luminaire, proceed with required maintenance. When maintenance is complete, reconnect the TBTS (if unplugged) and restore AC power to the emergency luminaire. The AC Activate circuitry will detect the presence of AC power and automatically re-activate the ILBHI SP 2H HE SD HV battery charging circuit. “Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
