wires and flex connector down through the hole in the fixture and secure in place with the flex connector nut. An optional T-bar
mounting kit is available to mount the
I-162 above the ceiling tile adjacent to the emergency fixture. To order the optional T-bar
mounting kit (part number TBmK-160) contact Customer Service.
When battery packs are remote mounted, consult Customer Service for the maximum allowable distance between the battery
pack and lamp.

″ bushing into the hole. Push the plastic tube through the bushing. Disconnect the leads from the LED
housing and route the leads down the plastic tube. Reconnect the leads to the housing, observing the proper polarity (Red/Black
or Red lead w/connector to positive (+) red tab). Push the entire assembly back into the tube until the lens collar rests against the
plastic tube. The plastic tube should be adjusted so that the
Charge Indicator is within ¼
″ of the fixture lens. The Charge Indica-
tor must be visible after installation. Refer to Illustration 1.

″ mounting hole. Refer to Illustration 2.
5. WIRINg ThE A.C. INPUT
A. The
I-162 requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Select the proper voltage lead and cap the
unused lead.
B.
When
the
I-162 is used with a switched fixture, the A.C. input to the I-162 must be connected ahead of the fixture switch.
Refer to Illustration 2 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.
C.
When installed on separate branch circuits, refer to Illustration 2, Figures C and D for input wiring. Per NEC, the
I-162 and
A.C. ballast must be on the same panel board.
