FEATURES
Type
Fluorescent Battery Backup
INTENDED USE
Specifically designed for 2-hour run time. Factory or field installed inside or
outside (field only) fluorescent fixture to operate lamp(s) at an initial output
of 20% of rated lamp lumens, providing optimum glare-free illumination for a minimum
of 120 minutes upon interruption of normal power.
CONSTRUCTION
·22-gauge black steel housing
·Dual-voltage input capability (120/277V).
·Operates one 2' – 4' fluorescent T8 or T12 lamp for 120 minutes. Compatible with
electronic, rapid start, instant start, preheat or trigger-start ballasts in standard
or energy-saving configurations.
·Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit (permanently energized) or on switchable
circuit (unswitched circuit to battery charger and switched circuit to the fixture ballast).
·Unit will strike normally off lamp
·Produces 600 to 700 lumens initial emergency light output.
ELECTRICAL
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.
BATTERY
Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature, nickel-cadmium battery. Ensures long life
over wide temperature ranges. Automatic battery recharge after a 120-minute discharge.
Pilot light and test switch provide visual and manual means of monitoring system
operation.
ELECTRONIC
Constant current-type charger. Capacitive input circuit provides high efficiency and
reliable operation. High-efficiency push-pull inverter is the most eective 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. Two ½" holes in fixture channel permit mounting of test switch/pilot light
behind fixture lens.
Compact size (9.4" L x 2.4" W x 1.5" H) allows installation in a variety of fluorescent
troffers, industrials, commercials and strips.
Fast, easy installation simplified by a "user friendly" wiring diagram.
Unit can be remote mounted up to half the distance recommended by the ballast
manufacturer or 50 feet, whichever is less.
