E. ALTERNATE FEED (all fixtures are supplied on normal from an alternate circuit) - Follow Step 2B above. Then extend alter-
nate AC input to the proper voltage flying leads from the heatsink assembly (BLACK for 120V, ORANGE for 277V). If a local 
Switch is present, connect the alternate AC input to the Switch, then connect the proper voltage flying leads from the heatsink 
assembly to the load side of the Switch as in Step 2D. Refer to 
Diagrams 1 and 2.
F.
DIMMING RELAY - The IIS-375-LED-DR features a dimming relay for use with dimming applications. The BLUE (Nor-
mally Open), RED (Common), BROWN (Normally Closed) leads are provided for connection to the dimming circuit. 
Refer to the specifications of the dimming controls for proper wiring connections.
G. Connect the Fixture Supply Ground to the
IIS-375-LED-DR Ground.
H. The
IIS-375-LED-DR includes an internal circuit breaker. Push the circuit breaker switch to the ‘closed’ position so that
the indicator on the circuit breaker shows RED. The circuit breaker is located near and slightly above the transformer. If 
no circuit breaker is present on your inverter model, then disregard.
Consult
the
IIS-375 Application Notes for connecting the unit to specific lighting loads. Application Notes are available on
the internet or through Customer Service.
CAUTION: Before proceeding to Wiring Step 3, make sure that all unused wires are properly capped. Failure to do 
so may result in an unsafe condition and equipment failure.
DO
NOT ENERGIZE THE CIRCUIT AT THIS TIME.
 3. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
 ATTENTION: 
Use only battery part number
F743750001 with the unit. See Page 1 of this instruction manual.
A. Before installing the battery, check the torque on the hardware that connects the polarized connector to the terminals
as these connections may have loosened in transit and storage. The proper torques should be 70 in/lbs for a
Screw
Stud terminal, and 65 in/lbs for an L Flag terminal.
B. Install the battery into the IIS-375-LED-DR with the terminal posts facing toward the front of the unit. NOTE: The
IIS-375-LED-DR battery is heavy. To avoid injury, exercise caution when handling the battery.
 C. Plug the battery connector together.
 Note: Neither the indicator lights nor the emergency fixtures will illuminate at this time. Also, please note that 
there are 2 battery tie down lugs in the event that it is required that the battery be held in place. Please contact
IOTA Engineering Customer Service to purchase this accessory if needed.

The Dimming Relay contacts provide electrical continuity during normal power conditions allowing your dimming signal to 
operate the luminaire in the desired, dimmed state. When the inverter transfers into the emergency mode, the dimming 
relay contacts electrically open the 0-10 dimming reference signal forcing the luminaire to operate at full lumen output 
regardless of dimmer setting.

The Dimming Relay contacts are electrically open during normal power conditions allowing your dimming signal to operate the 
luminaire in the desired, dimmed state. When the inverter transfers into the emergency mode, the dimming relay contacts electrically 
short the 0-10 dimming reference signal forcing the luminaire to operate at a reduced lumen output setting based on the dimmable 
driver being used. Verify operating results of the luminaire with the 0-10 volt reference signal shorted to assure the application and 
mounting height produce code-compliant egress lighting.

Diagram 2 - EM Dimming Signal
The Dimming Relay contacts are electri-
cally open during normal power conditions 
allowing your dimming signal to operate 
the luminaire in the desired, dimmed state. 
When the inverter transfers into the emer-
gency mode, the dimming relay contacts 
electrically short the 0-10 dimming refer-
ence signal forcing the luminaire to operate 
at a reduced lumen output setting based 
on the dimmable driver being used. Verify 
operating results of the luminaire with the 
0-10 volt reference signal shorted to as-
sure the application and mounting height 
produce code-compliant egress lighting.
