WIRING DIAGRAM

  1. Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V through 277V, 50 or 60 Hz. For 0-10V dimming follow the wiring directions as shown in Fig 6.

  2.  Connect the black fixture lead to the LINE supply lead.

  3.  Connect the white fixture lead to the COMMON supply lead.

  4. Connect the GROUND wire from fixture to supply ground.
    DO NOT connect the GROUND of the dimming fixture to the output.

  5. Connect the purple fixture lead to the (V+) DIM lead.

  6. Connect the pink fixture lead to the (V-) DIM lead.

  7. Cap the yellow fixture lead, if present. DO NOT connect.

BATTERY BACKUP MODELS

WIRING
CAUTION: FOR BATTERY BACKUP FIXTURE. Voltage could be present in BATTERY. To prevent high voltage from being present on output leads, inverter connector must be open. Battery is factory connected internally.
NOTE: Make sure that the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An UNSWITCHED AC source of power is required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the LED driver. CAUTION: Do not use any supply voltage other than 120-277V 50/60 HZ (Fig. 8).

  1. Connect UNSWITCHED HOT fixture lead to HOT AC supply line.

  2. If using an UNSWITCHED circuit, connect UNSWITCHED and SWITCHED lines together.

  3. If using a SWITCHED circuit, connect SWITCHED HOT AC fixture lead to the external SWITCHED.

  4. Connect the NEUTRAL fixture lead to the NEUTRAL supply line.

  5. For 0-10V dimming, connect DIM (+) and DIM (-) to the supply DIM (+) and DIM (-).

  6. Connect GROUND lead from the fixture to the supply ground.
    Do not connect GROUND to the output leads.

  7. All unused lead must be capped and insulated.

  8. After installation is complete, supply AC power to the fixture.

  9. When power is on, the fixture should be on and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate to indicate the battery is charging.

  10. Once the BATTERY has charged for at least one hour, a short duration test may be performed by pressing the Test Button (Fig. 9).

  11.  After the battery has charged for 24 hours, a long duration test can be performed by shutting power to the fixture.


WIRING DIAGRAM
Fig: 8

OPERATION

  1. When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the BATTERY is being charged.
  2. When power fails, the standby power automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating at reduced illumination. The emergency driver supplies power in standby power for a minimum of 90 minutes.
  3. When AC power is restored, the emergency driver automatically returns to charging mode.

MAINTENANCE

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

  1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
  2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds.
  3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. Fixture would operate at reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. Be sure the fixture is grounded properly.
  2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate after pressing and releasing the Test Button (Fig. 9), check power.
