Unpack and Inspect
Before you begin installation, check your shipment so you know it arrived
complete and undamaged.
1. Check the shipping container for obvious physical damage:
Torn or opened containers
▼ Water stains or wetness
▼ Crushed or punctured boxes
▼ Other shipping-related damage
2. If you find damage, document it to help with a claim against your shipper.
▼
3. Unpack your order and check the contents against the Bill of Materials to
be sure your order is complete.
Note: ELTS systems are available as either single or three phase products.
Make sure your ELTS type matches your phase configuration.
4. Open the ELTS cabinet door and check for loose connections or broken
components caused by shipping vibration.
5. If you discover a problem with your order, call ETC Customer Service at
800/688-4116.

Note: When planning your installation, make sure to leave space around the
cabinet for entry and exit wire conduit. Emergency line and neutral
conduit may require extra space due to increased bend radius
requirements for larger cables.
Emergency Lighting Transfer System User Manual
9
Planning wire entry into the ELTS cabinet
The Emergency power connections must enter the cabinet from the top or
side of the cabinet within six inches of the top left corner.
Control, Normal power sensing and options wires connect most easily if they
enter above the Remote station terminal or just below the Emergency sensing
terminal on the left side of the cabinet.
Note:
Do not run the control, normal power sensing and options wiring in
the same conduit as Emergency phase or load power wiring.
Load wires in from the dimmer rack and out to the lighting loads connect most
easily if they enter through the bottom of the cabinet either between or beside
the transfer switch assemblies.
Note:
Except for the emergency power supply wires, which must enter
near the top left corner of the cabinet, recommended conduit entry
locations may be changed based on your installation requirements.

Mounting the cabinet
After determining where you want to install the cabinet, follow these
instructions.
1. Install two 3/8" bolts 24.25 inches apart for the lower two support slots
(the installer must supply the mounting hardware).
2. Use the mounting dimensions from Figure 5: ELTS cabinet mounting
dimensions on page 9 to drill the holes for the upper two 3/8” bolts.
3. Place the ELTS cabinet on the wall supported by the two lower bolts.
Caution ELTS cabinets are very heavy. Make sure you have adequate
equipment (or help) to lift the cabinet into place and support it while
you secure the top two bolts.
4. Secure the ELTS to the wall with the two upper 3/8" bolts.
Installing Remote stations (optional)
1. Install a standard two gang backbox (4" x 4" x 3.5") and run conduit from it
to the ELTS cabinet.
2. Pull five conductor, Class 2 (12 Vdc) wiring through from the backbox to
the cabinet.
3. Connect the wires to the terminal strip on the back of the remote station.
Make a note of each wire’s terminal assignment.
Connect the five conductor class 2
wires to terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
(wire colors may vary)

Connecting power and control wiring to the ELTS cabinet
Warning! To prevent death or injury due to electrical shock, Normal and
Emergency power to the ELTS must be turned off any time you are
connecting or servicing any ELTS.
Connecting Emergency power (standard systems)
Emergency power
connection lugs
Note: Standard ELTS systems connect Emergency power to phase lugs and
distribute it through pre-wired overload protection circuitry. Discrete
systems do not have Emergency power lugs. Go to Connecting
Emergency power (Discrete systems) on page 13 for instructions.
The Emergency power lugs are in the upper left of the ELTS cabinet. The ELTS
is available in one or three phase power configurations.
1. Cut a hole within six inches of the top left corner of the ELTS cabinet
Note: Top conduit connections are recommended to reduce the cable
bending necessary to connect to the lugs.
2. Install conduit and pull the Emergency power cables into the cabinet.
3. Using Figure 9, below, connect phase power cable to the correct lug:
Three phase power cables connect to lugs A, B, and C
▼ Single phase power cables connect to lugs A and B
Note: You cannot connect an ELTS designed for three phase operation to
single phase power or a single phase ELTS to a three phase source.
4. Connect the Neutral cable to the Neutral lug.
▼
5. Connect the Ground cable to the Ground lug.

Emergency power lugs
Connecting Emergency power (Discrete systems)
A Discrete ELTS does not have Emergency power lugs. Instead, Discrete
systems wire emergency feeds directly to transfer switch Emergency inputs.
Transfer switch assemblies connect either 20 amp circuits (up to six), or 50
amp circuits (up to two).
Note: Discrete ELTS systems require external distribution and overload
protection circuitry.
1. Attach the conduit for the wires from the dimmer rack to the bottom of
the ELTS cabinet (recommended.)
2. Pull Emergency feed Line and Neutral wires to the Emergency feed

Testing
Before you power up for the first time
Checking transfer switch operation manually
By checking transfer switch manual operation before you apply power, you
reduce the possibility of failure caused by mechanically frozen, damaged or
obstructed switches. Each switch should rotate without catching or binding.
Warning! Normal and Emergency power should be off when you open the
ELTS cabinet to check switch operation. Opening the cabinet with
power applied may result in death or injury from electrical shock.
1. Open the ELTS cabinet.
Warning! Rotating the transfer switch assemblies manually with Normal or
Emergency power applied may result in the assemblies switching
automatically, causing severe hand injuries.
2. Turn the manual operation handle 90° clockwise. E (Emergency) should be
visible on the assembly about 1.5 inches above the handle.
3. Rotate the handle 180° counter-clockwise. N (normal) should be visible.
Note:
If you have difficulty operating the switch, check for installation debris
that may be blocking switch operation.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining transfer switch assemblies.
Turn on system
Voltage checkout
1. Apply power to the ELTS and connected dimmer rack at the main circuit
breaker. The green Normal LED lights.
2. Apply emergency power. The red Emergency light turns on.
Warning! ELTS voltage tests should only be performed by qualified
personnel using extreme caution. Opening the cabinet with power
applied exposes you to death or injury from electrical shock.
3. Open the ELTS cabinet.
4. Use a digital voltmeter (DVM) to test the feed voltage at the Normal power
sensing terminal block (Figure 16 on page 16 for location). Phase A is on
terminal 1, phase B on terminal 3 and phase C on terminal 5. Voltage must
be within ±10 percent of the rated voltage for the ELTS.
5. Use the DVM to test the feed voltage at the Emergency power lugs.
Phase lugs are labeled either A, B or C. Voltage values must be within ±10
percent of the rated voltage for the ELTS.
6. Close the ELTS cabinet.

Automatic function
The automatic function tests the ELTS’s ability to switch back and forth from
Normal to Emergency when Normal power is interrupted or restored.
1. Make sure the NORMAL OPERATION LED is lit on the ELTS front panel.
2. Turn off Normal power to the dimmer rack connected to the ELTS.
The NORMAL OPERATION and NORMAL POWER STABLE LEDs
on the ELTS front panel go out
▼ The ELTS switches to Emergency power (the EMERGENCY
OPERATION and EMERGENCY POWER STABLE LEDs light, and the
emergency loads go to full brightness)
▼ If Emergency power is provided by an engine/generator, there will be
a short delay before switching as the generator turns on and the
voltage and frequency stabilize
3. Restore Normal power.
▼
▼
▼
▼
The ELTS switches back to Normal power after the retransfer delay
times out (the default setting is thirty minutes)
On the front of the ELTS, the EMERGENCY OPERATION and
EMERGENCY POWER STABLE LEDs turn off and the NORMAL
OPERATION and NORMAL POWER STABLE LEDs light
If used, the Emergency power engine/generator turns off when the
cool down time is complete.
Options function
ELTS systems can also be activated by fire alarm and auxiliary circuits. Both
are operated by a normally closed circuit controlled by the fire alarm or auxiliary
relays. When the fire alarm or auxiliary circuit activates, the relay opens,
causing the ELTS to switch to Emergency power. To test option relay function,
either:
1. Activate the fire alarm or auxiliary relay.
The ELTS should switch to Emergency power and the emergency
loads should go to full
2. If you do not wish to activate the fire alarm or auxiliary circuit, generate an
open circuit at the ELTS connection to the fire alarm or auxiliary circuit by
disconnecting one of the two wires to the ELTS cabinet.
▼
The ELTS will switch to Emergency power and the emergency loads
should go to full
Note: The second method tests the ELTS response to an open circuit, but
does not confirm the fire alarm or auxiliary relay’s ability to open the
circuit to the ELTS.

Selecting the preferred power source: Normal or Emergency
Using the local keyswitch on the front of the ELTS cabinet or a Remote
keyswitch station installed in your facility, you can select either Normal or
Emergency as the preferred power source.
1. Insert the key into the keyswitch and select the desired power source:
To select Normal power, turn the key left. The green NORMAL
OPERATION LED lights.
▼ To select Emergency power, turn the key right. The red EMERGENCY
OPERATION LED lights and the emergency loads go to full. If Emergency
power is provided by an engine/generator, there will be a short switching
delay as the generator turns on and voltage and frequency stabilize.
2. Release the key. The keyswitch returns to center and the indicator light
you selected remains on. The ELTS uses the selected power source. If the
selected source’s voltage or frequency drops below the limit, the ELTS
will switch to the other source.
▼
3. When the voltage and frequency of the selected source returns to
acceptable levels, the ELTS will switch back to it.
Remote Station
Remote Keyswitch station operation is identical to the local station. Refer to
Selecting the preferred power source: Normal or Emergency for instructions.
Fire alarm or Aux signal switching
If desired, the ELTS system can be activated by fire alarm or auxiliary circuits.
When the ELTS receives the fire alarm or auxiliary circuit activation, it will
switch to Emergency power.
Note:

Troubleshooting
If you have trouble with an installed ELTS system, you can contact ETC
Technical Service at 800/775-4382.
Warning! Trouble shooting usually involves opening the ELTS cabinet and
metering voltages. Opening the ELTS cabinet with power applied
exposes you to death or injury from electrical shock. Use extreme
caution during all troubleshooting activities.
Emergency or Normal Power Stable LED does not turn on properly
During normal operation, either the Normal Power Stable or Emergency
Power Stable LED should be lighted. If one or the other does not light, the
problem may be with the LED, Normal or Emergency sensing wiring, or
Normal or Emergency power.
1. Switch between Normal and Emergency power on the ELTS control panel
keyswitch and observe the results:
▼
The ELTS switches between Normal and Emergency
1. Check for loose LED wire connections or defective LEDs.
2. Make sure the Control Panel connector is properly seated.
▼
The ELTS does not switch between Normal and Emergency.
1. Go to the next ELTS troubleshooting section.
The ELTS will not switch between Normal and Emergency
If the system will not switch from Emergency power
1. Check for tripped Normal power sensing wire circuit breakers.
2. If the circuit breakers are not tripped, meter Normal power using the
procedures in Voltage checkout on page 19.
If the system will not switch from Normal power
1. Meter Emergency power using the procedures in Voltage checkout on
page 19.
2. If no fire alarm or auxiliary circuits are connected to the ELTS, make sure
the terminal jumpers are in place.
3. If fire alarm or auxiliary circuits are connected, meter between the wires
to be certain the circuit is closed. An open circuit switches the ELTS to
Emergency power.
If the system does not seem to function in either Normal or Emergency power mode
1. Make sure the control panel connector is properly seated.
2. Check other wire connections for loose terminals or broken wires.
3. Use the procedures in Checking transfer switch operation manually on
page 19 to test the switching mechanism for mechanical problems.

Remote stations cannot switch the ELTS
1. Switch between Normal and Emergency power on the ELTS control panel
keyswitch and observe the results.
If the ELTS does not switch locally
Follow the instructions in The ELTS will not switch between Normal and
Emergency on page 31.
If the ELTS switches locally
Try switching the ELTS from other Remote stations, if multiple stations have
been installed
1. If the other stations function, check the wire terminal connections on the
problem station. See Installing Remote stations (optional) on page 11 for
station connection requirements.
2. If the other stations do not function, or there is only one Remote station
installed.
3. Check the wire connections on the Remote station terminal block.
4. Check the Remote station fuse in the ELTS cabinet

5. Inspect the wiring between the ELTS cabinet and the stations for defects.
See Connecting Remote stations to the ELTS on page 17 for ELTS
connection requirements.
Some ELTS circuits do not switch when the system changes sources
Partial switching of ELTS circuits indicates one or more transfer switch
assemblies, or the wiring to them, is defective.
1. Use the procedures in Checking transfer switch operation manually on
page 19 to locate any transfer switch assemblies that have not switched
and to manually test their function.
2. If an assembly cannot be switched manually, check for something that
could be physically obstructing it. If you find something, remove it and
manually test the switch again. If you cannot find and remove the cause
of the switching failure, the assembly is defective and must be replaced.
3. If the assembly switches manually, check for loose wire connections to
the assembly and look for damaged wires between the assembly and the
control panel. Repair any wire problems you find and test the system.

Dimmed loads: A light or other fixture that operates using varying voltage from
a power control device like a dimmer rack.
Dimmer: A device that varies operating voltages in response to signals from
control devices.
Dimmer rack: An enclosure for multiple dimmers. Racks distribute source
power, provide cooling and tamper protection.
ELTS: The Emergency Lighting Transfer System. It switches designated loads
to an Emergency power source when a Normal power fault is detected.
Emergency source: A generator or other power supply that is not connected
or dependent on normal facility power.
Normal/Emergency load: Lighting or other fixtures that may use the Normal
source, but are also connected to an Emergency power source through
the ELTS.
Normal source: The main or standard power supply for a facility.
Normal load: Lighting or other fixtures that depend on the Normal source for
operating power.
Remote station: An extension of the ELTS front panel control to other
locations in the facility.
Sense wires: Wires carrying voltage and frequency information from the
Normal source to the ELTS control panel.
