IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• ALL SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
• This product is intended for use with lighting fixtures controlled by an emergency panel. Any switching between backup power and utility power must be done upstream of this device.
• All wiring connections and mounting styles must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electrical Safety Code, state and local codes, and any other regulations set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Per NFPA 70E, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be required. Check state and local codes.
• The load’s operating voltage must be the same as the emergency power input voltage.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to persons:

1. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing,
2. Mount this device in locations and at heights where it will not be readily accessible to tampering by unauthorized personnel,
3. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters,
4. Do not let any wires touch hot surfaces, and
5. Do not use outdoors (NEMA 1 rating only).

• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not use this device for other than intended use. A generator or inverter-supplied emergency panel is required (120 – 277 VAC, 50/60 Hz).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• CAUTION: THIS UNIT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION POINT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS UNIT.
  SERVICE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

• NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING THIS DEVICE, MAKE SURE THAT THE NECESSARY BRANCH CIRCUIT WIRING IS AVAILABLE. AN UNSWITCHED SOURCE OF NORMAL POWER IS REQUIRED. A SEPARATE CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR-SUPPLIED (OR CENTRAL INVERTER SYSTEM-SUPPLIED) CIRCUIT MUST ALSO BE PROVIDED.

OPERATION

• The GTD10DIM and the BLCD16DIM will activate an emergency lighting load automatically upon the loss of normal power. If normal power is absent, the status of the load cannot be overridden.
• However, if the normal power is present, the emergency lighting load can be controlled by other means in order to use it as a normal lighting load, depending on the wiring setup.
• When used as normal lighting, a two-second delay will keep the load on, even after the wall switch is turned off, to perform a self-test on the unit. When normal power is present, a status contact will automatically close.
• Therefore, when normal power is absent, the status contact will open (perfect for 0-10V dimming controls).
• A red LED indicates that emergency power is available. A green LED indicates that normal power is present. A yellow LED copies the status of the load; if the LED is on, the load is on.

MAINTENANCE

• No routine maintenance is required for the GTD10DIM or BLCD16DIM. However, either should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working properly.
• Note: Make sure to disconnect both the normal and emergency panel circuit breakers before servicing.

EMERGENCY DRIVER AND AC DRIVER MUST BE FED FROM THE SAME BRANCH CIRCUIT

• TYPICAL SCHEMATICS ONLY. MAY BE USED WITH OTHER DRIVERS. CONSULT THE FACTORY FOR OTHER WIRING DIAGRAMS.

• B. THE GREEN LED (NORMAL POWER AVAILABLE) SHOULD BE ON.
• C. THE YELLOW LED (LOAD STATUS) SHOULD BE OFF.
• D. THE LOAD SHOULD BE OFF.
• E. THE FEEDBACK/DIMMER CONTACT SHOULD BE CLOSED.

LOCAL TEST BUTTON

• APPLY EMERGENCY POWER TO THE EMERGENCY POWER INPUT AND NORMAL POWER TO THE NORMAL POWER INPUT.
• (IF USING THE WALL SWITCH INPUT, APPLY NORMAL POWER TO THE SWITCH ALSO, BUT KEEP THE SWITCH OFF/OPEN.)
• A. THE RED LED (EMERGENCY POWER AVAILABLE) SHOULD BE ON.
• B. THE GREEN LED (NORMAL POWER AVAILABLE) SHOULD BE ON.
• C. THE YELLOW LED (LOAD STATUS) SHOULD BE OFF.
• D. THE LOAD SHOULD BE OFF.
• E. THE FEEDBACK/DIMMER CONTACT SHOULD BE CLOSED.

AND VOLTAGE.
GREEN LED IS OFF| • CHECK NORMAL POWER INPUT WIRING (BLACK AND RED WIRES) AND VOLTAGE.
YELLOW LED IS ON BUT THE LOAD IS OFF| • CHECK BULBS AND BALLAST.

• CHECK LOAD WIRING (BLUE WIRE AND LOAD’S NEUTRAL).

• VERIFY LOAD’S OPERATING VOLTAGE IS THE SAME AS THE EMERGENCY POWER INPUT VOLTAGE.

• REPLACE UNIT.

THE LOAD IS ON BUT THE YELLOW LED IS OFF| • REPLACE UNIT.
YELLOW LED AND LOAD DO NOT TURN

ON WHEN BEING TESTED.

| • CHECK BULBS AND BALLAST.

• CHECK WIRING CONNECTIONS IF USING A REMOTE TEST OPTION.

• PRESS THE LOCAL TEST BUTTON ON THE UNIT.

• REPLACE UNIT.

YELLOW LED AND LOAD.| • VERIFY STATUS OF NORMAL POWER INPUT.

• OPEN WALL SWITCH INPUT.
