Sunco LO-LOC-EMDR-15W-050 Series LED Vapor Tight Fixtures
Product Information
The LO-LOC-EMDR-15W-050 Series is an emergency battery pack designed for use with LED fixtures that operate at 25-50VDC. It provides backup power during emergency situations and includes a self-diagnostic feature for maintenance.
Safety Instructions
Before attempting to install the fixture, carefully read and follow the
provided instructions.
Lumen Output During Emergency Operation
- Determine the fixture efficacy under normal AC operation based on lumens per watt (LM/W).
- Reference DLC QPL (www.designlights.org) and Energy Star (www.energystar.gov) for rated data on fixture efficacy. If the fixture is not found on these lists, contact the manufacturer.
- Multiply the fixture LM/W by the rated output power of the emergency pack to determine the lumen output during emergency operation.
Caution: The power of the emergency battery selected must not exceed the power of the A.C. driver from the LED fixture.
Self-Diagnostic (Maintenance)
Before installing, ensure that the A.C. power is off.
To mount the indicator combo test switch (ICTS):
- The emergency battery and A.C. driver must be on the same branch circuit.
- The emergency battery requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 100-347VAC, 50/60Hz. If used with switched fixtures, wire the emergency battery input ahead of the test switch.
- Insert the test switch into the pre-drilled hole in the fixture’s wire-way cover.
After the A.C. input wiring is complete, switch on the A.C. power. The charging indicator light should illuminate, indicating that the battery is charging. Charge the battery for 24 hours before conducting any tests.
Operation
Indicator Status:
| Mode | Test Switch Operation | Indicator Status | Comment & Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC MODE (1) | NOT pressed | ON (no flashing) | Battery is charging. |
| AC MODE (2) | Press Once | 2s ON and 2s OFF (slow flashing) | Battery is |
conducting a 30s short-term emergency test.
AC MODE (3)| Press Twice| 2s ON and 2s OFF (slow flashing)| Battery is
conducting a long-term emergency test until fully
discharged.
EMERGENCY MODE (1)| NOT Pressed| 2s ON and 2s OFF (slow flashing)| Battery is
conducting a long-term emergency test until fully
discharged.
EMERGENCY MODE (2)| Press once| OFF| Battery is turned off.
Problem:
If the indicator flashes (0.2s) ON and (0.2s) OFF fast or goes off, the
emergency backup pack is abnormal. Contact the manufacturer.
Warning:
Before installation, maintenance, storage, or shipping, press the test
switch once to make certain the battery is turned off.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read instructions carefully before attempting to install fixture.
- All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Disconnect power before installing or servicing. This fixture must be wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances.
- Proper grounding is required to ensure personal safety.
CAUTION:
WARNING: This emergency battery provides more than one power supply output source. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both normal and emergency source by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by disconnecting the unit connector.
- Do NOT attempt to service the battery. This is a sealed battery that is not field replaceable. Replace the entire unit when necessary.
- The use of accessory equipment is NOT recommended by the manufacturer. It may cause an unsafe condition, void warranty and result in non-compliance with UL specifications.
- The emergency battery requires an un-switched AC power source of 100-277VAC, 50/60Hz or 100-347VAC, 50/60Hz. Verify the correspondent electrical rating at the LED fixture before servicing. Both electrical rating will supply power under an output voltage of 25-230VDC in emergency mode for at least 90 minutes. (See individual units for output specifications).
- The battery pack should be charged for 24 hours every 3 months during storage.
- Disconnect the battery pack before shipping and storing.
- The battery in this unit may not be fully charged. After charging for at least 24 hours, then scheduled operation should take effect.
- For use in 32°F – 122°F temperatures. Suitable for use in damp locations
- Flexible metal conduit is optional depending on installation environment.
- The emergency battery should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
- For LED fixture power higher than or equal to rating of the emergency battery pack.
- Do NOT use this equipment for anything other than its intended use. Equipment is only used for LED lighting emergency backup.
- Do NOT mount near gas or electric heaters. Do NOT let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
- Do NOT make or leave any other open holes in the wiring enclosure or electrical component enclosure during installation.
- This fixture is for use with grounded, UL listed, damp location rated and indoor fixture. NOT for use in heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
- Do NOT use outdoors!
LUMEN OUTPUT DURING EMERGENCY OPERATION
- Determine the fixture efficacy under normal AC operation based on lumens per watt (LM/W).
- Reference DLC QPL (www.designlights.org) and Energy Star (www.energystar.gov) for rated data on fixture efficacy. If fixture is NOTfound on DLC or Energy Star Qualified Product Lists, contact the fixture manufacturer.
- Multiply fixture LM/W by rated output power of emergency pack.
a.(example: model LOC-EMDR-15W is 15W x 100LM/W = 1,500LM).
Product Components
CAUTION: Power of the emergency battery selected must NOT exceed the power of the A.C. driver from LED fixture. The LOC-EMDR-15W-050 can be used with most LED loads that operate at 25-50VDC.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC (MAINTENANCE)
- The integrated self-diagnostic circuity will automatically conduct 1 monthly 120-second and annual 90-minute tests to verify properemergency capability per Life Safety Code requirements. NFPA101, Life Safety Code Outlines the following schedule:
- a.Monthly: During AC mode, the system conducts a 120-seconds self-discharge test at reduced output of the emergency LEDdriver every 30 days. After 120 seconds, the battery will resume to normal charging.
- b.Annually: During AC mode, the system conducts a 90-minutes self-discharge test at reduced output of the emergency LEDdriver every 365 days. The battery will automatically resume to normal charging after fully dis-charged.
INSTALLATION
Caution: Before installing, make certain the A.C. power is off!
- MOUNTING THE EMERGENCY BATTERY:
- Pre-drill a hole into the fixture ballast wire-way cover for the test switch.
- The indicator light and test switch should be mounted where they can be seen by the maintenance personnel.
- Determine the appropriate location for the battery backup LED driver and LED battery pack in the fixture.
- Install the battery backup LED driver and LED battery pack to the fixture using existing mounting holes in the fixture. Theinstallation instruction of the LED luminaire may provide guidance on mounting location.
- WIRING THE EMERGENCY BATTERY AND AC LED DRIVER:
- Make certain the A.C. power is off. The emergency battery and A.C. driver must be on the same branch circuit.
- Determine the appropriate wiring diagram found as reference. For other diagrams, consult the manufacturer.
- Connect the A.C. driver power source leads to the input of the emergency battery. Connect the output leads of the emergency battery to the LED load.
- Wire the AC driver with the lamp in accordance with manufacturer’s installation instructions. Make sure all connections arein accordance with National Electrical Code or any other local regulations.
- MOUNTING THE INDICATOR COMBO TEST SWITCH (ICTS):
- The emergency battery and A.C. driver must be on the same branch circuit.
- The emergency battery requires an unswitched A.C. power source of 100-347VAC, 50/60Hz. Therefore, when used with switched fixtures, the emergency battery input must be wired ahead of the test switch.
- Insert test switch into the pre-drilled hole in the fixture’s wire-way cover.
- TESTING:
- After the A.C. input wiring is complete, switch the A.C. on.
- Then the charging indicator light should illuminate which indicates the battery is charging.
- The battery in this unit may not be fully charged. A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency battery has been charging for 1 hour. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test.
