OVERVIEW
Litetronics Emergency Battery Backup unit (EB20) 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 standby mode. When a power
outage occurs, the unit will switch to emergency mode and deliver 20W power
for a minimum of 90-minutes. When power is restored, the unit will switch back
to standby mode and begin recharging.
The EB20 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 an operation for the EB20. 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 EB20 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 EB20 is compatible with all Litetronics products, as well as any other
manufacturer fixtures if power is less than 200W and 0-10V dimming is
included.
PLEASE NOTE: When used with a sensor-equipped fixture, the sensor
settings will remain active, overriding the EB20, and causing the fixture to
dim or turn off based on it’s occupancy settings. This is not ideal for an
emergency situation and may not meet code requirements. We recommend that the
EB20 is used on a fixture that does not include occupancy sensing or daylight
harvesting.
EB20 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure that the installation of the EB20 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 the yellow light is on, 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 the 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/solid 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 mode 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 fixture should operate at up to 20W for at least 90 minutes.
SERVICE
Should be performed as indicated above by qualified personnel.
INSTALLATION – CEILING MOUNTED
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, TURN OFF THE 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. Choose any knockout best suited for installation.
- Use the PG13.5 cable gland to fix the cable of the indicator module in the knockout.
- 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.
