LITETRONICS EB10 LED Emergency Battery Backup Instruction Manual
OVERVIEW
Litetronics Emergency Battery Backup unit (EB10) delivers 90-minutes of power
to fixtures in the event of a power outage. When the normal power supply is
present, the unit will fully charge and remain in stand-by mode. When a power
outage occurs, the unit will switch to emergency mode and deliver 10W power
for a minimum of 90-minutes. When power is restored, the unit will switch back
to stand-by mode and begin recharging.
The EB10 is the main component to the backup system, but must be accompanied
by one of two indicator modules, which provide a set of visible indicator
lights that signify the status of operation for the EB10. Each option offers a
different approach to mounting/installation based on the application.
- EBCM (Emergency Backup Ceiling-mounted Indicator Module) – This option connects to the EB10 and can be mounted in a grid panel adjacent to the fixture.
- EBAM (Emergency Backup Adhesive-mounted Indicator Module) – This option applies to any non-grid ceiling application. It includes an adhesive strip that will affix to the surface of a fixture or nearby structural element.

COMPATIBILITY
The EB10 is compatible with the following Litetronics products and part numbers.
UL924 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND COMPATIBILITY
PLEASE NOTE: When used with a sensor-equipped fixture from the Approved List
of Litetronics fixtures above, the sensor will be bypassed and disabled by the
EB10 when wired correctly per the installation instructions and cause the
fixture to remain illuminated during periods of vacancy when the compatible
fixture is powered by the EB10 power source. As such, EB10 is UL924 compliant.
GL39S, GL59S with Sensor: Not compliant with UL 924. Sensor access
unavailable.
SWFS4 with Sensor: Compliant with UL 924 if Sensor is rewired to EB10 per
Installation Wiring Diagram.
EB10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure that installation of the EB10 includes one of the two indicator modules.
- Once installed and powered on, the battery will begin to charge. The green, flashing indicator light will remain on until fully charged, which takes approximately 24 hours.
- Once fully charged, the green indicator light will illuminate and remain on as long as the battery remains full.
- If yellow light is flashing, a problem has been detected. Contact Litetronics for troubleshooting. · In the event of a power failure, the fixture delivers 90 minutes of emergency light, during which the red light will remain on, then flash on/off when battery is low.
INDICATOR MODULE LIGHT REFERENCE GUIDE
- Green/flashing = Charging
- Green/solid on = Fully charged
- Red/solid on = Discharging/emergency mode
- Red/flashing = Discharging with limited battery life remaining
- Yellow/flashing on = Error. Contact Litetronics for troubleshooting
TESTING
- The fixture includes an automatic monthly self-testing function, which operates at 30-day intervals for 5 minutes and 360-day intervals for 90 minutes. During testing, the red indicator light will remain on.
- Additional testing and demo functionality is available via remote control, part # TR01 (sold separately).
MAINTENANCE
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency battery
backup functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is
working. The following schedule is recommended:
- Visually inspect the charge 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. LED tubes should operate at up to 10W for at least 90 minutes.
SERVICE
Should be performed as indicated above by qualified personnel.
INSTALLATION – CEILING MOUNTED
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, TURN OFF POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
- Choose a location for the Emergency Battery Backup unit and indicator module. We recommend placing the unit close to the luminaire input power wires while also making sure the indicator module will reach it’s desired location. See figure A for reference.
- Once the EBB unit is secured in place, make wiring connections based on the wiring diagrams found on pages 6-7.
- Mark the desired location for the indicator module on the adjacent ceiling panel. Drill a hole for the indicator to pass through that as is 1.75″ in diameter.
- Compress the spring clamps and pass the indicator module, wiring first, up through the panel until it sits flush with the bottom side. Release the spring clamps and they will hold the module in place. See figure B.
- Connect the indicator module and unit via the quick connector.
- Restore power to the fixture. When power is received, the green flashing light should appear, indicating that the unit is charging. An initial full charge could take up to 24 hours.
