When battery packs are remote mounted, consult Customer Service for the maximum allowable distance between

the battery pack and the lamp.

2. WIRING

Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the appropriate wiring of lamp(s) and ballast. Install in accordance

with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. For additional wiring diagrams consult Customer Service.

Route the leads of the

TBTS through the plastic tube. Connect the LED wires from the unit to the TBTS (Red/

Black or Red w/tag to Red, White/Red to White). 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

TBTS is within ¼

″ of the fixture lens.

The

TBTS must be visible after installation. Refer to Illustration 1.

Strip Fixture – Select a convenient location on the fixture so the

TBTS can be seen after installation. Allow for

proper clearance inside the fixture and drill or punch a

4. WIRING THE A.C. INPUT

A. The

I-40 and A.C. ballast must be on the same branch circuit.

B. The

I-40 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

I-40 is used with a switched fixture, the A.C. input to the I-40 must be connected ahead of the fixture

switch. Refer to Illustration 3 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.
