   • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from the power supply.
   • Connect the green or bare copper wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the power supply.

6. Operation

6.1 Normal Operation

1. Power On: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power at the circuit breaker.
2. Switch On: Operate the light using the wall switch connected to the fixture. The panel will illuminate with 4000K cool white light.

6.2 Emergency Battery Backup Function

The integrated emergency battery backup provides illumination during power outages.

• Upon loss of normal AC power, the panel will automatically switch to battery power, providing reduced lumen output for a specified duration (typically 90 minutes).
• The battery charges automatically when AC power is present.

6.3 Testing the Emergency Function

Regular testing is crucial to ensure the emergency battery backup is functioning correctly.

1. Monthly Test (30 seconds): Press and hold the test button (if present, typically a small button on the side of the fixture or driver housing) for 30 seconds. The light should switch to emergency mode. Release the button; the light should return to normal operation.
2. Annual Test (90 minutes): Once a year, perform a full discharge test. Turn off the AC power to the fixture for 90 minutes. The light should remain illuminated in emergency mode for the entire duration. Restore AC power after the test.
3. Indicator Light: A small LED indicator light (if present) typically shows the battery status: green for charged, red for charging or fault. Consult the specific driver instructions for detailed indicator meanings.

7. Maintenance

The LEDVANCE Sylvania LED panel light requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Wipe the surface of the panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or optical components.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or wear.
• LEDs: The integrated LEDs are designed for long life and are not user-replaceable.
• Battery Replacement: The emergency battery has a finite lifespan. If the unit fails the annual 90-minute test, the battery may need replacement. Contact qualified service personnel for battery replacement.

8. Troubleshooting

Before attempting any troubleshooting, ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker.
