INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Before installing, make certain the A.C. power is off and the
I-26-EM-A unit connector is disconnected.

1. MOUNTING THE I-26-EM-A

When used with ceiling mounted downlight fixtures, the

I-26-EM-A should be mounted on the fixture above the

ceiling. The flex conduit marked “A” should be wired into the ballast/lamp compartment or to an electrical junction
box on the fixture which allows access to the ballast/lamp connections. Refer to Illustration 1 for typical mounting.

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

the battery pack and the lamp.

2. MOUNTING THE TEST SWITCH AND CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT

Cut a single gang switch box into the ceiling tile adjacent to the fixture within reach of the

I-26-EM-A flex

marked “B”. After mounting the switch box, connect flex “B” to the box and route all leads inside the box. Refer
to Illustration 1 for typical mounting. Connect the leads to the components as follows:

Red/Blk or Red lead w/connector

* To prevent electrical shock and unintentional battery discharge, do not join the unit connector until the installation

is complete.

3. WIRING

A.

The

I-26-EM-A and A.C. ballast must be on the same branch circuit.

B.

The

I-26-EM-A requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts; therefore, when used

with switched fixtures, the

I-26-EM-A input must be wired ahead of the switch.

C. Refer to the wiring diagrams on the back page for the proper wiring.
