FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE
Specication-grade emergency ballast operates one or two lamps (4' or shorter) or one 8' lamp.
Factory or eld installed within uorescent xture ballast channel. Upon interruption of normal power
battery pack automatically strikes and operates lamps at reduced light output, providing glare-free
illumination for 90 minutes.
CONSTRUCTION
• Durable thermoplastic/metal housing resists impact, scratches, and corrosion. UL-94V-0 ame rating
• Reduced-prole footprint ts in the tightest applications
• Polarized quick-connect pilot light/test switch assembly simplies 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
• Lamp selector switch optimizes single or dual lamp performance
• Operates one or two 2'–4' uorescent T8–T12 lamps, one 2'–4' uorescent T5, T8, or T12, HO, long
compact (biax) or one 6'–8' uorescent T8–T12 for 90 minutes. Compatible with T8 and T5 electronic,
T12 magnetic, instant start, rapid start, and slimline ballasts. New AC ballasts with EOL (end of life)
protection may require EOL accessory (ELA PSPRSB) to ensure normal AC mode operation
ELECTRICAL
• Multi-voltage input capability (120V-277V; 50-60 Hz)
• Constant current-type charger. Input circuit provides high eciency and reliable operation
• High-eciency push-pull inverter is the most eective 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 xture wireway for clean appearance and protection against vandalism;
or mounts on outside of xture housing if internal space is limited. Two 1/2" holes in xture channel
permit mounting of test switch/pilot light behind xture lens
• External mounting requires a remote mounting enclosure (ELA PSRME).
• Compact size (13-5/16" L x 2-3/16" W x 1-3/16" H) ts in a variety of uorescent xtures: troers,
volumetric recessed, industrials, commercials and strips
• Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit (permanently energized) or on switchable circuit
(unswitched circuit to battery charger and switched circuit to the xture ballast). Unit will strike
normally o lamp
• Unit mounting centers are identical to a standard ballast
