Thomas & Betts EMERGI-LITE FPS-HL - Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION – To prevent electrical shock, do not mate unit connector until installation is complete and A.C.
power is supplied to the unit.
2. CAUTION – This fixture provides more than one power supply output source. To reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock, disconnect both normal and emergency sources by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by
disconnecting the unit connector.
3. CAUTION – The integral, high temperature Ni-Cad battery is replaceable. To replace the battery, discon-
nect the unit connector and remove both switched and unswitched A.C. power to the fixture. Remove the
lid screw and open the lid to expose the battery. Unplug the battery connector and replace with part
number 44900-006 (14.4V Ni-Cad battery only). Recycle the used battery. The EPA certified RBRC
®
Battery Recycling Seal indicates voluntary participation in an industry program to collect and recycle
these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cad batteries into the trash or the
municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-822-8837 for information on
Ni-Cad battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. Involvement in this program is part of
a commitment to preserving the environment and conserving natural resources.
4. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The FPS-HL is for use with grounded, UL Listed, indoor fixtures except in
heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
5. The FPS-HL requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Properly cap the
unused A.C. lead.
6. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
7. The FPS-HL should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
8. The FPS-HL mounts on top of the fixture or adjacent to the fixture on an optional T-bar mounting bracket.
9. The FPS-HL will cold strike and operate one 2
′–8′ or two 2′–4′ instant start, rapid start, U shape or
circline, T8 through T12 fluorescent lamps, including energy saving and long 4 pin compact lamps for 90
minutes.
10. The FPS-HL operates lamps as follows:
One 2
′–8′, or two 2′–4′ lamps for 90 minutes at reduced light output.
One 2 ′–4′ lamp for 90 minutes at full light output.
11. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
12. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
