FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE
Designed for applications requiring full light output. Field installed with fluores-
cent fixture to operate lamp(s), based on one 32W T8 linear lamp. The light output
for other lamps will vary, providing optimum glare-free illumination for a minimum
of 90 minutes upon interruption of normal power.
CONSTRUCTION
20-gauge, black steel housing.
Dual-voltage input capability (120V or 277V).
PERFORMANCE
Operates one or two 2' – 4' fluorescent T8 – T12 lamps, one 2' – 4' fluorescent
T5, T5HO, T8, T12, 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 ballasts in standard or energy-saving configurations.
Protects against partial or isolated power outages. Low-glare, shadow-free
illumination provides excellent visibility for safe building evacuation.
Unit wires two ways: on night-light circuit (permanently energized) or on switch-
able circuit (unswitched circuit to battery pack and switched circuit to the fixture
ballast). Unit will strike "normally off" lamp.
ELECTRICAL
Constant current series resistor-type charger, provides high efficiency and reli-
able 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.
AC/LVD reset allows battery connection before AC power is applied and prevents
battery damage from deep discharge.
BATTERY
Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature nickel cadmium battery. Ensures
long life over wide temperature ranges. Battery automatically recharges after a
90-minute discharge.
External battery connectors allow battery pack to be disabled for maintenance
and installation.
Pilot light and test switch provide visual and manual means of monitoring system
operation. Two 1/2" holes are required to permit mounting of pilot light/test switch
in fixture housing.
INSTALLATION
Mounts concealed within the plenum or on top of fixture housing for improved
aesthetics and protection from vandalism. Wiring protected by 18" flexible con-
duit. Remote mounting requires accessory kit ELA PSDMT.
Emergency Ballast may be remote mounted up to 50 feet from fixture or half the
distance recommended by the AC ballast manufacturer, whichever is less.
Test switch may be remote mounted up to eight feet from fixture. Order accessory
ELA RTS2.
