IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION – To prevent electrical shock, do not mate unit connector until installation is complete and A.C. power
is supplied to the unit.
2. CAUTION – This fixture provides more than one power supply output source. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect both normal and emergency sources by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by disconnect-
ing the unit connector.
3. CAUTION – This is a sealed unit. The integral, high temperature Ni-Cad battery is not replaceable. Replace the
entire unit when necessary and recycle or dispose of the nickel-cadmium battery properly.
4. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The I-48 is for use with grounded, UL Listed, damp location rated, indoor fixtures.
Not for use in heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
5. The I-48 requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Properly cap the unused A.C. lead.
6. The I-48 and A.C. ballast must be on the same branch circuit.
7. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
8. The
I-48 is suitable for mounting in the ballast compartment or on top of the fixture. For top mount, order optional
mounting kit TMK-80. When used in conjunction with enclosed and gasketed fixtures, the I-48 is suitable for

9. The I-48 should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
10. The I-48 will cold strike and operate one 2 ′–8′ or two 2′–4′ instant start, rapid start, U shape or circline, T8
through T12 fluorescent lamps, including energy saving and long 4 pin compact lamps for 90 minutes.
11. The I-48 is compatible with most A.C. ballasts (including multiple lamp) as follows:
Magnetic ballasts – either one or two lamp emergency operation.
Electronic ballasts – one lamp emergency operation, consult Customer Service for two lamp emergency opera-
tion wiring diagrams.
