NOTE: For proper operation, use only the test accessories provided with the unit. See Page 1 of the Instruction Manual.

5. INSTALLINg A TEST SWITCh

A test switch should be mounted on the ballast channel cover of a recessed troffer, or on the side of a strip fixture, preferable

adjacent to the charge indicator. Drill or punch a
