FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE — Specification grade fluorescent battery pack operates one or two lamps (4' or shorter)
or one 8' lamp. Factory or field installed within fluorescent fixture ballast channel. Upon interruption
of normal power, battery pack automatically strikes and operates at reduced light output, providing
optimum glare-free illumination for 90 minutes.
CONSTRUCTION — Durable thermoplastic/metal housing resists impact, scratches, and corrosion.
UL-94V-0 flame rating.
Reduced-profile footprint fits in the tightest applications.
Polarized quick-connect pilot light/test switch assembly simplifies installation.
Pilot light and test switch provide visual and manual means of monitoring system operation.
U.S. Patent No. 6,522,147; 5,814,971; 6,577,136; D550,154.
PERFORMANCE — Compatible with T8 and long compact (4 pin) magnetic, instant start, rapid start,
and slimline ballasts for 90 minutes emergency operation. See lamp compatibility chart on page 2.
ELECTRICAL — Multi-voltage input capability (120V-277V; 50-60 Hz).
Constant current-type charger. 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 a wide range of temperatures. Automatic battery recharge after 90-minute discharge.
Fully charged after 24 hours.
INSTALLATION — Patented Quick-Disconnect connector system allows for quick and easy replacements
at end of life without rewiring.
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 1/2" holes in fixture channel permit
mounting of test switch/pilot light behind fixture lens.
Mounting centers are identical to a standard ballast.
Compact size (9.4"L x 2.19"W x 1.18"H) fits in a variety of fluorescent fixtures: troffers, volumetric recessed,
industrials, commercials and strips.
Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit (permanently energized) or on switchable circuit
(unswitch circuit to battery charger and switch circuit to the fixture ballast).
Unit mounting centers are identical to a standard ballast.
LISTINGS — UL listed. Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code), NEC and OSHA illumination
standards.
Standard unit is UL approved for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures.
For product UL approved for use in wet and damp location fixtures, see PS600DW spec sheet.
