Fluorescent Battery Backup

INTENDED USE
Specification grade emergency ballast to operate one or two lamps (4'or shorter) or one 8' lamp.
Factory or field installed inside or outside (field only) fluorescent fixture to operate lamp(s) at a
reduced light output, providing optimum glare-free illumination for a minimum of 90
minutes upon interruption of normal power.
CONSTRUCTION
Black, 20-gauge steel, permanently-sealed housing. Housing provides extra room for wire routing
in ballast channel.
Dual-voltage input capability (120V or 277V)
Polarized quick-connect pilot light/test switch assembly simplifies installation
Patent pending integrated test switch pilot light that requires only one-hole drilling.
U.S. Patent No. 6,522,147; 5,814,971; 6,577,136
PERFORMANCE
Operates one or two 2' 4' fluorescent T8 T12 lamps, one 2' 4' fluorescent HO,
VHO, long compact (biax) or one 6' 8' fluorescent (T8 T12) for 90 minutes.
Compatible with electronic, rapid start, instant start, slimline, preheat or trigger start ballast in
standard or energy-saving configurations. Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit
(permanently energized) or on switchable circuit (unswitched circuit to battery pack and switched
circuit to fixture ballast). Unit will strike normally off lamp.
BATTERY
Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery. Ensures long life over a
wide range of temperatures. 24-hour battery recharge after 90-minute discharge. External battery
connectors allows emegency ballast to be disabled for maintenance and installation. Pilot light and
test switch provide visual and manual means of monitoring system operation.
ELECTRONIC
Constant-current series resistor-type charger. Capacitive input circuit provides high efficiency
and reliable operation. High-efficiency push-pull inverter is the most effective method of converting
DC power to AC power. It provides maximum light output, battery life and reliability.
INSTALLATION
Mounts concealed within fixture wireway for clean appearance and protection against vandalism;
or mounts on outside of fixture housing if internal space is limited. Two " holes in fixture channel
permit mounting of test switch/pilot light behind fixture lens. External mounting requires two
accessory kits ELA PSMK or factory option MK. Kit adds 6" maximum to overall length. Unique size (135/16" L x 2-3/8" W x 1-5/8" H) fits a variety of fluorescent troffers, industrials, commercials and strips.
LISTING
UL listed. Damp location listed. Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code), NEC and OSHA
illumination standards. UL approved for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. UL approved for
installation in wet and damp location listed fixtures, 0-50C (32-122F). (Note: DW option does not
make the emegency ballast suitable for mounting outside the fixture in a wet location application.)
WARRANTY
Five-year warranty.
