PSL600 Low-Profile Emergency Ballast

For field or factory installation in T5, T5HO, T8, T8HO and long-compact fixtures utilizing low-profile ballast and wireways. Suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed and gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. Provides 90 minutes of emergency operation at a reduced light level.

 

CONSTRUCTION

Galvanized steel, low-profile housing works in conjunction with low-profile or standard size electronic ballasts to convert new or existing standard or high output T5 and T8 fluorescent fixtures into emergency lighting. Dual-voltage input capability (120V or 277V).

 

PERFORMANCE

Operates one 14-28W standard or 24-54W high output T5; one 17-40W standard or 44-55W high output T8; or one 36-55W (4-pin) long compact fluorescent lamp. Compatible with most one, two, three, or four-lamp electronic, standard, energy-saving and dimming AC ballasts. Emergency ballast 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). Emergency ballast will strike "normally off" lamp. Produces 600-1325 lumens initial emergency light output.

 

BATTERY

Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature, nickel-cadmium battery. Ensures long life over wide temperature ranges. Automatic battery recharge after 90-minute discharge. 24-hour recharge time. Pilot light and single-pole test switch provide visual and manual means of monitoring system operation.

 

ELECTRICAL

Constant current-type charger. 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

Low-profile size (21.5"L x 1.18"W x 1.18"H) allows mounting in lighting fixtures with limited space inside fixture wireway for clear appearance and protection against vandalism. Mounting centers 21" for standard model. Test switch and pilot light included.

 

LISTINGS
