5. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the
TBTS. Annotate Replacement Label with identical manufacturer part
number(s). The Caution and the Replacement labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone
attempting to service the fixture.
6. WIRINg ThE A.C. INPUT
A. The
ILB and A.C. driver MUST be on the same branch circuit.
B. The
ILB requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts; therefore when used with
switched fixtures, the ILB input must be wired ahead of the switch. Select the proper voltage lead and cap the
unused lead.
C. Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the proper wiring. For wiring diagrams not shown, consult
our customer service.
7. COmPLETINg INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the
ILB unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. driver operates the LED load as intended. The ILB 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 ILB senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the
Emergency Mode. One or multiple LEDs are illuminated, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored,
the
ILB 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. driver. The LED load is now being lit by the
ILB 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
ILB 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. At least one LED should operate at reduced output.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator is illuminated. Conduct a full 90 minute 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.
