Benefits

UL Classified for field installation.
Provides constant wattage to the LED array, preventing degradation of emergency lamination for the required runtime.
10-60VDC output is UL 1310 Certified Class 2 compliant and automatically senses the LED array forward voltage requirements.
Suitable for Plenum, Damp Location, Recessed Type IC, and Enclosed and Gasketed fixtures.

IOTA’s ILB-CP Series Emergency Drivers bring dependable emergency lighting solutions for today’s LED fixture designs. The IOTA ILB-CP Series operates in conjunction with the AC LED driver and array to provide code-required emergency illumination for both factory and field-install applications, delivering the added value of safety and compliance to a world of LED applications.

The IOTA ILB-CP Series combines 10-60 volt Class 2 output with IOTA’s unrivalled Constant Power design, providing constant emergency illumination with no degradation of light output for the full 90-minute runtime. The innovative characteristics of the ILB-CP Series allow for both UL Classified field and factory installation.

With 5-watt, 7-watt, 10-watt, and 12-watt constant power output, auto-sense 10-60 forward voltage, and a variety of mounting configurations, the ILB-CP Series brings reliable emergency lighting solutions to a wide range of new and retrofit applications.

The Constant Power Advantage

The Constant Power design of the IOTA ILB-CP Series delivers constant wattage to the LED array during emergency operation, maintaining illumination at a consistent level, with no degradation of emergency output for the full runtime. This unique and innovative design eliminates concerns of insufficient foot candles along the path of egress at the end of the required 90-minute duration. Insufficient foot candles can occur through the gradual depletion of the system battery and also by loss in normal operating performance over the lifespan of the LED array.

Wiring Step-Thru

Typical LED Luminaire with a Normal Driver and LED Module

In a typical luminaire, an AC (Normal) Driver will convert AC to DC current to power an LED Module through positive/negative leads.

Step 1 – Making the Driver and LED Connections

Step 2 – Making the Power Connections

During this step we will make the Power Connections to the ILB-CP.

Step 3 – Test Button and Unit Connector

During this step we will connect the TBTS (Threaded Body Test Switch) to the ILB-CP and mate the Unit Connector.

Mounting Configurations

Integral emergency battery packs are designed to accommodate different fixture types:

Testing the ILB-CP LED Emergency Driver
Testing the ILB-CP is required to ensure proper operation. To perform a test, press and hold the TBTS Test Button. Pressing the TBTS forces the ILB-CP unit into emergency mode, interrupting power to the designated A.C. driver. The LED load is now being lit by the ILB-CP unit. After releasing the TBTS, the fixture returns to normal operation after a momentary delay.

Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately one hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge before conducting a one hour test.

Consult the ILB-CP installation manual for the required monthly and annual testing schedule as outlined by the NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. Also note that local codes may require a more extensive testing schedule.
