Provides lock tabs on the output circuit breakers to prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with the breaker positions. The breaker locks can either be configured to “lock on” (ie: the lock must be removed to open the breaker and remove power to the emergency circuit) or “lock off” (ie: the lock must be removed to close the breaker which is useful to prevent the breakers from accidentally being closed, and thus energizing the circuit, during maintenance).
Available on IIS Single Phase, IIS EXT (excluding 1750), IISC, IIS3P and IIS3P EXT models.
BTM – Battery Temperature Monitor
Includes a Battery Temperature Monitor with Shunt Trip DC breaker(s) (1 breaker per battery string). The BTM monitors the batteries for over- temperature or thermal runaway conditions and trips the batterystring DC breaker if over-temperature/thermal runaway conditions exist. Includes a Form C Dry Contact to connect to a Fire Alarm Panel for remote alarm signaling. Additionally, the IIS Inverter is outfitted with an external Exhaust Fan Monitoring System that can interface with a “state of health” dry contact input on an external exhaust fan. The IIS Inverter will monitor the “state of health” dry contact input and, if the exhaust fan is in an alarm condition and the normally open contact is closed, a signal is sent to the IIS Emergency Inverter to stop charging the batteries.
Requires factory startup (see FSREG#, FSCAN, FSMEX) to be ordered. This option is required in California when the IIS Inverter System has more than 50 gallons of electrolytes or more (applies to 16.7VA through 50000VA single and three phase models).
Available on IIS Single Phase, IIS3P, and IISCN3P models
BYPASSBBM – Internal Maintenance Bypass (Break Before Make)
Includes a Maintenance Bypass Switch that is mounted inside the IIS Inverter
System. This device allows maintenance personnel to route power from the AC
utility directly to the output circuit breakers, bypassing the inverter
electronics. The switch isolates the system to perform routine maintenance or
servicing while allowing the lighting load to remain in normal operation. The
“break before make” switch disconnects the power inside the inverter
immediately before it makes the direct electrical connection from the AC
utility to the output circuit breakers. Requires output circuit breakers.
If output circuit breakers are not desired, an External Maintenance Bypass
may be available (see EXTPASS).
Available on IIS Single Phase and IISC models. This feature is standard with IIS3P and IISCN3P models.
BYPASSBBM – Internal Maintenance Bypass (Break Before Make)
Includes a Maintenance Bypass Switch that is mounted inside the IIS Inverter System. This device allows maintenance personnel to route power from the AC utility directly to the output circuit breakers, bypassing the inverter electronics. The switch isolates the system to perform routine maintenance or servicing while allowing the lighting load to remain in normal operation. The “break before make” switch disconnects the power inside the inverter immediately before it makes the direct electrical connection from the AC utility to the output circuit breakers. Requires output circuit breakers. If output circuit breakers are not desired, an External Maintenance Bypass may be available (see EXTPASS). Available on IIS Single Phase, IISC, IIS3P, and IISCN3P models.
DR – Dimming Relay
Allows a 0-10V dimming signal to reach interfacing emergency luminaires during normal power conditions and will interrupt the 0-10V dimming signal if a power loss is detected. This will cause the emergency luminaires to operate at full light output in power loss conditions regardless of the position of a 0-10V dimming control. Note: the usefulness of on-board dimming relays is limited in large applications with multiple circuit breakers since this only allows for a single dimming control to be employed for each output circuit. Consider using an ALCR device such as the IOTA ETS DR in these scenarios.
Available on IIS 1100 and IISCN models.
DRIP – NEMA 2 Drip Top
Provides a NEMA 2 drip top shield to protect the electronics and batteries from falling or splashing water. Typically one NEMA 2 Drip Top is required per electronics and battery cabinet.

ZM(#) – Zone Monitoring
Allows the IIS Inverter System to monitor the presence of AC power in a specific zone (ex: area circuit or distribution panel). Upon loss of normal power in the zone(s), the inverter will switch to emergency mode and power any connected emergency equipment via its internal battery. Any normally-off loads will turn on and normally-on loads will remain on. Once AC power is restored to the zone(s), the inverter will return to normal mode. Any normally-off loads will turn off and normally-on loads will continue operating via AC utility power.
Available on IIS Single Phase, IIS EXT (excluding 1750), IISC, IIS3P, IIS3P EXT, and IISCN3P models.
