Suspended ceiling
a. Remove the four hanger bar nails.
b. Slide the hanger bars through the tabs on the back box (see fig.
3). For each side, first slide the bar that has two small arrows at
its end facing outside the box. Then slide the one with a long slot
on top of the first one. The two arrows should go through the long
slot on the second bar. Place assembly on top of grid members.
c. Place 4 clips on the “T-bars” (grid members) where the hanger
bars will snap (see fig. 4).
d. Snap the hanger bars in the clips.
4. Carefully measure the position of the light. Cut a 4 1/4” diameter hole
in desired location in the sheet rock or ceiling panel (outer lip of box
may serve as a template).
5. Route unswitched AC circuit of rated voltage into the back box (in
one of the knockouts), leaving approximately 6” of wire length.
6. Make the proper connections. Our system can accept input voltages
of 120 VAC or 277 VAC (see fig. 5).
120 VAC — Connect the black (120 VAC) and white (Neutral) leads
to the building utility.
277 VAC — Connect the orange (277 VAC) and white (Neutral) leads
to the building utility.
Note — Insulate any other unused wire. It is recommended to attach
the wires together before pushing them inside the junction box, to
keep them as far away from the light unit as possible.
7. Re-install the junction box cover. Make sure any connected wires are
not in the way where the light unit will be inserted.
8. Place the sheet rock or ceiling panel in position.
9. When ready to permanently energize AC circuit, plug polarized bat-
tery connector to the light unit.
10. To install the light unit, first look inside the hole in the ceiling, there
are three tabs just above the round lip. Use the tab that is centered in
the box as a reference (the one further from the two others) as shown
in figure 6. Then, on the light unit, locate the trimplate hole that is the
closest to the spring blade. Align this hole to the opposite side of the
center tab in the back box. Squeeze the two spring blades to insert
the light into the back box until it snaps.
11. Use the three self-drilling screws to fix the light in this position, start-
ing with the screw shown in fig. 6. For suspended ceilings, hold box
in place by removing an adjacent ceiling panel.
12. Energize AC circuit. Pilot light will come on.
Light adjustment
The light unit can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and be pulled out 90
degrees vertically. To rotate, pull out the light approximatly 45 degrees
and then rotate it. When you reach the desired horizontal orientation, you
can pull the light completely out, 90 degrees.
Testing
Depress test switch (see fig. 7). The fixture will illuminate. Release test
switch. The fixture will extinguish and pilot light will be illuminated. Prior
to initial full load testing, unit should be connected to AC service for 24
hours to allow the battery sufficient time to recharge.
Maintenance
None required. The unit should be tested monthly in accordance with
local codes and the life safety code. If the AC supply to this unit is to be
disconnected for two months or more, the battery must be disconnected.
