Best Practices for Retrofitting an Emergency Light Fixture

The “ELC” (Emergency Light Controller) is positioned between emergency light power and emergency

light fixtures. In many cases, it must be integrated by removing an existing fixture and wiring in the ELC.

Consider the following before attempting a retrofit of an existing Emergency Light fixture:

1. Determine the best location on the light fixture to mount the ELC.

(Refer to “Mounting the ELC onto an Existing Light Fixture”)

2. Correctly identify the AC and DC power wires of the ELC and fixture

3. Make sure the fixture is in good working condition.

4. Make sure the light fixture has sufficient space in its case to accommodate the shaft of the ELC

and its associated wires.

5. Ensure that the installation of the ELC does not interfere with or obstruct wires or batteries in the

light fixture case.

6. If a suitable knock-out is available, identify it and use whatever tools are necessary to remove it.

Warning!

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT DRILL INTO LIGHT FIXUTRE

WIRING OR BATTERY!

7. If drilling is required, use an appropriate drill bit, drill hole in the case if needed to insert the

threaded end of the ELC unit. Note that the positioning of the device is critical if it is desired to

have access to the button, as well as view of the LED.

8. After necessary hole is found, place the plastic washer on the threaded shaft of the ELC unit,

insert ELC unit into the hole and use the plastic nut to secure into place.

9. The ELC should face forward from whatever mounting position you select. This is to ensure that

the green power LED is visible for inspection.

Note: Order of operations – will need to actually find /create the hole and secure the ELC unit

before making the electrical connections.
