Outdoor emergency lights wiring

[JMWElectric]

Installing some outdoor emergency lights, there are already a few installed around building but it looks like they didn't wire in the emergency battery back up. I need some advice how to wire it in, the manual was not included and I can't seem to find it online. Anyone have experience with these?

If these outdoor lights are not normally powered 24x7, then to enable the emergency turn-on function you would have to have a source of unswitched AC from the same circuit that powers the lights.
Getting that there could be a lot harder than just connecting the battery!
The idea is that whether the lights are switched on or switched off (timer or photocell), the EM lighting has to come on when the normal circuit powering the lights loses power.
Without that reference voltage available the EM lights either will never come on or will come on until the battery is exhausted every time the lights are turned off.

This wrapped around a battery pack in the fixture, now i assume this charges the battery i just need to kmow how to wire this into the line voltage. The fixture is set up to detect line voltage loss just like an exit sign.

It sounds like if they were wired without the battery back up. Then they are on a photocell or timer and the un switched hot was never ran to them.
To answer your question no I don't know.
