6. WIRING THE A.C. INPUT
A. The ICE-80 and A.C. ballast must be on the same branch circuit.
B. The ICE-80 requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Select the proper voltage
lead and cap the unused lead.
C. When the ICE-80 is used with a switched fixture, the A.C. input to the ICE-80 must be connected ahead of the
fixture switch. Refer to Illustration 3 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.
NOTE: The ICE-80 will require a maximum power input of 100 watts when the internal heating element is active.

7. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the Test Switch and Charge Indicator. Annotate Re-lamping label for
lamp type and wattage. The Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location
to anyone attempting to service the fixture.
8. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the ICE-80 unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The ICE-80 is in the
standby charging mode. The
Charge Indicator will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The ICE-80 senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency Mode. One or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C.
power is restored, the ICE-80 switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1
of the Instruction Manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Pressing the Test Switch turns off the light on the Charge Indicator and forces the unit into emergency mode, inter-
rupting power to the designated A.C. ballast. The emergency lamp is now being lit by the ICE-80 unit. After releasing
the Test Switch, the fixture returns to normal operation after a momentary delay. To simulate a “BLACK OUT” use the
circuit breaker to turn off A.C. power.
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour
charge before conducting a one hour test.
The
ICE-80 is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety
Code, outlines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the
Test Switch. One lamp should operate at reduced output.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1
1 /
2
hour discharge test. The unit should
operate as intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
