APPLICATION The BDL60U Universal Input fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with an AC ballast to convert fluorescent fixtures into emergency lighting. The emergency ballast handles a wide range of input voltages and frequencies and consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, char- ger and electronic circuitry in one compact red case. The BDL60U can be used with most 13 - 215 W (2’ - 8’) T8, T10 or T12 fluorescent lamps without integral starters, including U-shaped, HO, VHO, circline and energy-saving, and (4-pin) long compacts (see Table 1). It is also compatible with most 120 through 277 VAC (50 or 60 Hz) one-, two-, three- and four-lamp electronic, standard, energy- saving and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary. The BDL60U is suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed & gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. It is not suitable for air handling heated air outlets or wet or hazard- ous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: international line voltages from 120 through 277 VAC (50 or 60 Hz); drilling rigs where generators are the primary source of power; and other applications requiring higher tolerance of line voltage variation or harmonic distortion. OPERATION When AC power fails, the BDL60U immediately switches to the emergency mode, operating either one or two lamps at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. Two-hour duration may be selected with one 32 W T8 fluorescent lamp. When AC power is restored, the BDL60U automati- cally returns to the charging mode. INSTALLATION The BDL60U does not affect normal fixture operation and may be used with either a switched or unswitched fixture. If a switched fixture is used, an unswitched hot lead must be connected to the emergency ballast. The emergency ballast must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC ballast. The emergency ballast may be installed inside, on top of or remote from the fixture. The BDL60U may be remotely installed up to half the distance the AC ballast manufacturer recommends remoting the AC ballast from the lamp or up to 50 feet, whichever is less. Installation is not recommended with fixtures where the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. UL and CODE COMPLIANCE The BDL60U has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories in accordance with the standards set forth in UL 924, "Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment,” and is UL Listed for factory or field installation. Emergency illumination time exceeds the National Electrical Code (NEC), Life Safety Code (NFPA–LSC) and UL 90-minute requirements.

Recommended uses include warehouses, covered walkways,

parking garages, aircraft hangars, exterior stairways and any other

location with damp rated or vapor-type fixtures.

Emergency lighting equipment is included in building designs to provide backup

lighting along the path of egress during loss of power so that occupants can exit the building quickly and safely. Because the path of egress often continues outside of a building to a partially protected public way and may include interior areas exposed to moisture, some local codes or building plans require emergency lighting with more than an indoor-dry location rating.

Damp Locations:Partially protected exterior locations under canopies, marquees, roofed open porches and the like, as well as interior locations subject to moderate degrees of moisture such as some basements, barns or cold storage houses. [1]

When AC power is applied, the charging indicator light is illuminated, indicating that the battery is being charged. When power

fails, the emergency ballast automatically switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating either one or two lamps at

reduced illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes. This emergency ballast also operates one 32 W T8 fluorescent lamp in

emergency mode for a minimum of 120 minutes.

Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency ballast functional, it should be checked periodically to

ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:

1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.

2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. Either one or

two lamps should operate at reduced illumination.

3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. Either one or two lamps should operate at reduced

illumination for at least 90 minutes.
