EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION
Depending on the wattage and type of lamp select, the B100 produes 350 to 450 lumens initial
emergency light output. During emergency illumination, one lamp is illuminated, even if installed
with a multi-lamp AC ballast. Emergency lumen output will be less with a compact fluorescent
lamp.
SPECIFICATION
Emergency lighting shall be provided by using a standard fluorescent fixture equipped with a
Bodine B100 emergency ballast. This emergency ballast shall consist of a high-temperature,
maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry contained in one 9
3/8” x 2 3/8” x 1 1/2” red metal case. A solid-state charging indicator light to monitor the charger
and battery, a single-pole test switch and installation hardware shall be provided. The emergency
ballast shall be capable of operating one 17 - 40 W (2’- 4’) T8, T10 or T12 fluorescent lamp or
(4-pin) long compact fluorescent lamp at reduced illumination in the emergency mode for a mini-
mum of 90 minutes. It shall be suitable for indoor locations. The B100 shall produce 350 to 450
lumens initial emergency light output, have 3.5 Watts of input power and a 9.6 Watt-hour bat-
tery capacity and comply with emergency standards set forth by the current NEC. The emergency
ballast shall be UL Listed for installation inside, on top of or remote from the fixture and shall be
warranted for a full year from date of purchase.
WARRANTY
Model B100 is warranted for one (1) full year from date of purchase. This warranty covers only
properly installed Bodine emergency ballasts used under normal conditions. For the warranty
period, Bodine will, at its option, repair or replace without charge a defective emergency ballast,
provided it is returned to the factory transportation prepaid and our inspection determines it to be
defective under terms of the warranty. Repair or replacement, as stated above, shall constitute the
purchaser’s exclusive warranty, which does not extend to transportation, installation, labor or any
other charges; nor does it apply to any equipment of another manufacturer used in conjunction
with the emergency ballast.
