It is alsorecommended that all internal wiring should berenewed using high temperature (105°C) PVCcable or the type originally specified if it has ahigher rating.COMPONENT LAYOUT GUIDELINESThe conversion kits are best installed inside thelight fitting, usually requiring the repositioningof existing components (i.e. ballast and terminalblocks). When installing inside the fitting:• Do not obstruct cable entries, mountingfacilities, lighting controllers or covers.• Do not locate the batteries or capacitor nearexcessive heat sources, e.g. ballasts andlamp ends.• The module should be placed as close aspossible to the ballast to keep wires short,while being far enough away to preventoverheating.• Ensure your layout doesn’t interfere withthe essential safety features of the fittingsuch as shrouding, earthing etc.• Avoid altering the fitting’s normal lightingdistribution.Space & temperature restrictions may requireremote mounting of the batteries or the completeconversion kit in a special enclosure. If thisis necessary, it is not as important to take intoaccount the component temperatures but youshould note the following:• The cable to the fully remote enclosuremust not exceed 2m.• If mounted more than 1m from the lightfitting, the remote enclosure must beconnected using fire proof cable.• Battery leads must be as short as possible,and the total resistance of the battery leadmust not exceed 0,05 ohms.• The indicating LED should be mountedwithin the light fitting or remote enclosurewhere it is clearly visible during normaloperation (mounting requires 0.25” or6,35mm hole).GENERAL WIRING GUIDELINESRefer to the diagrams for typical wiringconnections and observe the following guidelines:• Always use high temperature 105°C PVCcable (or a higher grade if originally used in
