3. Installationsvejledning
Sikkerhed først: Before beginning installation, ensure that power to the fixture and circuit is turned OFF at the breaker panel. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
- Montering: The B90 ballast can be mounted inside or on top of the fluorescent fixture. Utilize the flexible wiring conduits to allow for remote installation up to 2 feet away from the lighting fixture if necessary. Secure the ballast firmly using appropriate fasteners.
- Ledningsføring: Connect the ballast to the unswitched AC power supply (120V or 277V) and to the fluorescent lamp(s) according to the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. The ballast is designed to work with specific fluorescent lamp types; refer to the product's detailed wiring diagram for compatibility.
- Test Switch Installation: Install the single pole test switch in an accessible location, typically on the fixture or a nearby wall plate. This switch allows for manual testing of the emergency function.
- Opladningsindikator: Install the LED charging indicator light in a visible location on the fixture or adjacent to it. This indicator will confirm that the battery is charging.
- Indledende opkrævning: After installation, restore AC power to the circuit. The ballast battery will begin charging. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the battery to achieve a full charge before conducting the first operational test.

- Nødtilstand: Upon an interruption of normal AC power, the B90 automatically switches to emergency mode, illuminating the connected fluorescent lamp(s) for a minimum of 90 minutes. The LED charging indicator will turn off during emergency operation.
- Test: To manually test the emergency function, press and hold the single pole test switch. This simulates a power outage, and the fixture should switch to emergency mode. Release the switch to return to normal operation (if AC power is present).
- Genoplad: After an emergency discharge or manual test, the battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully recharge. Ensure AC power is restored during this period.
5. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the reliable operation of your emergency lighting system.
- Månedlig test: Conduct a monthly functional test by pressing the test switch for at least 30 seconds. Verify that the emergency lamps belyse.
- Årlig test: Perform an annual full discharge test. Interrupt AC power to the ballast for 90 minutes. Ensure the emergency lamps remain illuminated for the entire duration. After the test, restore AC power and allow 24 hours for the battery to fully recharge.
- Udskiftning af batteri: The B90 uses a replaceable NiCAD battery. If the unit fails to maintain emergency illumination for the required 90 minutes during an annual test, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified technician for battery replacement. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
- Rensning: Keep the ballast and surrounding fixture clean and free from dust and debris to ensure proper heat dissipation.
