• Initial output power after one minute into discharge.

Installation of this emergency LED driver will vary based on the luminaire type, however, generally follow these steps:

STEP #1 DETERMINE SUITABILITY

This product is suitable for field installation with suitable LED loads including LED luminaires, DC voltage driven LED replacements for fluorescent lamps and others. There are four (4) checks to determine if your luminaire is eligible for field installation.

1. Ensure the LED load’s rated power is greater than or equal to the power output of this emergency LED driver. This is to ensure that this emergency product will not produce more power than the LED load can handle, thus ensuring that the LED load will not be damaged when the system is in the emergency mode.
2. Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire’s LED array is within the limits of this emergency LED driver. The forward voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the luminaire markings, in the luminaire specifications, or imprinted directly on the LED arrays. If multiple LED arrays are to be driven, verify that the total forward voltage is within the limits of this product. Using a voltage meter, it may be possible to directly measure the voltage across the LED arrays when operating from the AC driver.
3. Ensure the output current of the AC LED driver does not exceed 5.0 Amps for Class 2 emergency product and 3.0 Amps for Class 1 emergency product (see table above).
4. Ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application. Estimate the egress lighting illumination levels by doing the following:
   a. Find the efficacy of the LED load. This can be given by the luminaire manufacture. This number will be given in lumens per watt (lm/w). It is the installer’s responsibility to validate the luminaire manufacturer’s efficacy data. This can be accomplished by direct measurement, by review of independent 3rd party test data (UL, ETL, etc.), accessing a public database of 3rd party data (such as Design Lights Consortium, www.designlights.org), or other comparable means.
   b. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the emergency LED driver (see table above) by the efficacy of the luminaire. In many cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than the results of this calculation, however it will provide a good estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.
   Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture * Output Power of Chosen Product
   ____(Lumens)_ = __(lm/W)_ ____(W)___
   c. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated illumination levels in the path of egress.

NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads and is electrically compatible with every simple LED array that meets criteria 1 and 2 above. However, compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all current and future LED systems. Compatibility testing of the end-use system is recommended. Please contact the factory for more information.

NOTE: After installation, it will be necessary to measure the egress lighting illumination levels to ensure they comply with national, state, and local code requirements.

STEP # 2 INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY DRIVER

• Disconnect AC power from the LED luminaire.
• Mount the emergency LED driver by the mounting tabs using the supplied screws. The luminaire’s installation instructions may provide guidance on the recommended mounting location.
• Mounting Height: Many factors in uence emergency illumination levels, such as the lamp load selected, luminare design, and environmental factors therefore end use verification is necessary. For field installations, when the attached luminaire is mounted at heights greater than 7.17ft (2.2m), the level of illumination must be measured in the end application to ensure the requirements of NFPA 101 and local codes are satisfied.
• Remote Mounting: The emergency LED driver may be remote mounted from the luminaire if installed in accordanance with the NEC. If used in conjunction with an AC driver the allowed distance is up to half the distance the AC driver manufacturer recommends remote mounting the AC driver from the LED load. If used without an AC driver, and remote mounting more than 5 feet from the luminaire, please consult the factory to determine the necessary wire gauge. CAUTION: Remote mounting can result in reduced power output.

STEP # 3 INSTALLING THE ILLUMINATED TEST SWITCH

• Mount the supplied Illuminated test switch in a location that is visible and accessible by maintenance personnel. The test switch mounts through a ½” hole which may need to be made in the luminaire or could come pre-punched by the luminaire supplier.
• Connect the test switch by connecting it to the unit test switch cable.
• If connected correctly, the indicator light should be ON when AC power is supplied to the fixture indicating that the unit is charging. After installing, mark with the “PUSH TO TEST” and “CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT” labels.

STEP # 4 WIRING THE EMERGENCY DRIVER

• Select the appropriate wiring diagram to connect the emergency driver to the AC driver and LED load. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
• After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency driver.
• At this point, power should be connected to both the AC driver and the emergency driver, and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
• A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency driver has been charged for one hour. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.
• In a readily visible location, attach the label “CAUTION – This Unit Has More Than One Power Connection Point. To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And Emergency Power Supplies Before Servicing.”

OPERATION

Applying AC power to the unit activates its emergency function and the charger circuit, and supplies power to the control/ monitor circuit and charging indicator light. When AC power fails, the emergency driver automatically switches to emergency mode, keeping the LED load illuminated at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes (or longer for 2 hr and 4 hr emergency run-time products). When AC power is restored, the emergency driver returns to charging mode.

This unit contains a control/monitor circuit that automatically performs a 30-second discharge test once a month and a full 90-minute discharge test once a year. During routine testing, the emergency driver simulates an AC power failure causing the unit to automatically switch to emergency mode. The unit will monitor the operation of the LED load, battery voltage, LED load connections and emergency duration. At the end of this test, if the emergency system functions properly, the unit will return to normal operation. Should the unit detect any problems, the indicator light will flash per failure condition (see Troubleshooting guide) until the condition has been corrected and the unit passes the next test.
To reset a failure indication, turn off AC power to the emergency driver for a minimum of 10 seconds or briefly push the test switch. If the condition has not been corrected by the next scheduled test, the unit will once again detect the failure and signal the failure indicator.

To perform a manual self-diagnostic test, push and hold the test switch for a minimum of 5 seconds while AC power is applied. Once the test switch is released the emergency driver will perform a 30 second diagnostic test. During this test, the unit will monitor the operation of the LED load, battery voltage, and LED load connections. If the emergency system functions properly, the unit will return to normal mode. Should the unit detect any problems, the indicator light will flash per failure condition (see Troubleshooting guide) until the condition has been corrected and the unit passes the next test.

To deactivate the unit for storage or shipping, press and hold the test button while the unit is in emergency mode until the LED load is turned off. Emergency mode will activate when unswitched AC power is turned off.

MAINTENANCE

This self testing emergency driver automatically performs required routine testing. Results are reported to maintenance personnel via the indicator light.
Note: Maintenance personnel should periodically check the indicator light per Life Saftey Code requirements (NFPA 101).
If the indicator light is flashing, follow steps in the following Troubleshooting Guide.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
