LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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 electri-
cal shock, disconnect both normal and emergency sources by turning off the A.C. branch circuit and by
disconnecting the unit connector.
3. CAUTION – The integral, high temperature Ni-Cad battery is replaceable. To replace the battery, discon-
nect the unit connector and remove both switched and unswitched A.C. power to the fixture. Remove the
lid screw and open the lid to expose the battery. Unplug the battery connector and replace with part
number 44900-006 (14.4V Ni-Cad battery only). Recycle the used battery. The EPA certified RBRC®
Battery Recycling Seal indicates voluntary participation in an industry program to collect and recycle
these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cad batteries into the trash or the
municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-822-8837 for information on
Ni-Cad battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. Involvement in this program is part of
a commitment to preserving the environment and conserving natural resources.
4. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS. The FPS-HL is for use with grounded, UL Listed, indoor fixtures except in
heated air outlets or hazardous locations.
5. The FPS-HL requires an unswitched A.C. power source of either 120 or 277 volts. Properly cap the
unused A.C. lead.
6. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
7. The FPS-HL should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not readily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.
8. The FPS-HL mounts on top of the fixture or adjacent to the fixture on an optional T-bar mounting bracket.
9. The FPS-HL 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.
10. The FPS-HL operates lamps as follows:
One 2′–8′, or two 2′–4′ lamps for 90 minutes at reduced light output.
One 2′–4′ lamp for 90 minutes at full light output.
11. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
12. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
13. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
14. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
15. Lighting fixture manufacturers, electricians and end users need to ensure product system compatibility
before final installation.

5. INSTALLING THE TEST SWITCH
The test switch should be mounted on the ballast channel cover of a recessed troffer, or on the side of a strip fixture,
preferably adjacent to the charge indicator. Drill or punch a 1/2″ mounting hole.
6. WIRING THE A.C. INPUT
A. The FPS-HL and A.C. ballast must be on the same branch circuit.
B. The FPS-HL 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 FPS-HL is used with a switched fixture, the A.C. input to the FPS-HL must be connected ahead of the fixture
switch. Refer to Illustration 3 for switched and unswitched fixture wiring diagrams.

7. LABELS
Attach the appropriate labels adjacent to the Test Switch and Charge Indicator. Annotate Re-lamping label for lamp
type and wattage. The Caution and the Re-lamping labels must be on the fixture in a readily visible location to anyone
attempting to service the fixture.
8. COMPLETING INSTALLATION
When the installation is complete, switch the A.C. power on and join the FPS-HL unit connector.
OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The A.C. ballast operates the fluorescent lamp(s) as intended. The FPS-HL is in the
standby charging mode. The Charge Indicator will be lit providing a visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The FPS-HL senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emer-
gency Mode. One or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is re-
stored, the FPS-HL switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the Instruction
Manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge
before conducting a one hour test.
The FPS-HL is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code,
outlines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the Test
Switch. One lamp or two lamps should operate at full or reduced output, depending on your configuration.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a full 11/2 hour discharge test. The unit should operate
as intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Consult Customer Service for current warranty information.
