INSTRUCTIONS FOR Lithonia Lighting TCU
IMPORTANT: Provide each unit with a single-phase AC un-switched power supply from a circuit used for normal lighting.
"UVOLT" product versions operate from 120 volts through 347 volts. PRODUCT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE RATED INPUT VOLTAGE IS EXCEEDED.
NOTE: The battery must be connected to the charger board prior to applying AC power to the unit. Battery damage may occur if the battery is connected longer than 24
hours without continuous AC power provided. See also "Important Battery Information".
NOTE: The maximum mounting height of TCU 350L from ground is 17.1 feet, TCU 750L and TCU 750L HO from ground is 25.4 feet to meet the minimum illumination
requirements of NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code).
NOTE: Do not connect battery or power unit until remote units (if applicable) are fully connected and wires are isolated from other potentials (i.e. remote wires shall be
isolated from earth ground).
NOTE: Supports 4" Square, 4" Octagon or a single rectangular (4"x 2.125") J-Box.
INSTALLATION:
1. Remove the front cover by removing two side screws, and slide cover up to remove (See Fig. A).
Fig. A
NOTE: for side mounting of lampheads see section Side Mounting Lampheads.
2. To mount to a junction box, knock out the appropriate mounting pattern and the wire pass hole in the backplate to fit the
J-box being used .
3. To mount using conduit, mount the backplate to the wall in the desired location using the keyhole knockouts (See Fig. B).
Attach a conduit hub to desired conduit mount holes on the backplate. An additional screw may be required at the lower
end to pull the unit back into the wall as visible from the bottom of the unit.
4. Use code-approved connectors to make the connection inside the unit. Connect the hot wire to the red lead. Connect
neutral wire to the white lead. The ground wire (green lead) needs to be connected in accordance with the local codes. DO
NOT energize the circuit at this time (See Wiring Diagram). For Units with Remote Lamp Wires: Connect remote wires to
the remote output. The yellow wire is the positive remote wire and blue is the negative (See Wiring Diagram). If no
remote lamps are connected, remote lamp leads (+ and - low voltage DC) should be capped and dressed in mounting plate
to prevent shorting to circuit board, housing or each other.
5. Connect the battery to the main board. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
6. Replace the unit cover onto housing and torque screws to 10.6 in-lbs (1.2Nm) to ensure grounding of front cover.
7. Energize the unit with AC supply. The charge indicator will illuminate. Allow battery to charge for 24 hours before initial
testing.
8. Adjust and focus the lighting heads as required.
