! IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS !

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ALL SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

• This product is intended for use with lighting fixtures controlled by an emergency panel. Any switching
between backup power and utility power must be done upstream of this device.

• All wiring connections and mounting styles must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC),
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electrical Safety Code, state and local codes, and any
other regulations set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

• Per NFPA 70E, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be required. Check state and local codes.

• The load’s operating voltage must be the same as the emergency power input voltage.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to persons:

1. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing,

2. Mount this device in locations and at heights where it will not be readily accessible to tampering by

unauthorized personnel,

3. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters,

4. Do not let any wires touch hot surfaces, and

5. Do not use outdoors (NEMA 1 rating only).

• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

• Do not use this device for other than intended use. Generator or inverter supplied emergency panel is
required (120 or 277 VAC, 50/60 Hz).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION POINT. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE
INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS UNIT.

SERVICE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING THIS DEVICE, MAKE SURE THAT THE NECESSARY BRANCH CIRCUIT WIRING IS
AVAILABLE. AN UNSWITCHED SOURCE OF NORMAL POWER IS REQUIRED. A SEPARATE CONNECTION TO A
GENERATOR-SUPPLIED (OR CENTRAL INVERTER SYSTEM-SUPPLIED) CIRCUIT MUST ALSO BE PROVIDED.

ALL SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

GTD10DIM

Steps

1. Remove all sources of power.

2. Remove ballast channel cover.

3. Mount GTD10DIM as shown in Figures A and B.

4. Wire the GTD10DIM using an illustration from the
“Typical Applications” section on page 4 or similar setups
for different application.

5. Before applying power, review the Important Safeguards at
the beginning of this document.

6. Finish installation as required by the NEC, NFPA, state,
local, and other codes. Test the GTD10DIM using the “Test
Procedure” on page 6.

FIGURE A

OPERATION

The GTD10DIM and the BLCD16DIM will activate an emergency lighting load automatically upon the loss of normal power. If
normal power is absent, the status of the load cannot be overridden. However, if the normal power is present, the emergency
lighting load can be controlled by other means in order to use it as a normal lighting load, depending on the wiring setup.
When used as normal lighting, a two second delay will keep the load on, even after wall switch is turned off, to perform
a self-test on the unit. When normal power is present, a status contact will automatically close. Therefore, when normal
power is absent, the status contact will open (perfect for 0-10V dimming controls). A red LED indicates the emergency
power is available. A green LED indicates that normal power is present. A yellow LED copies the status of the load; if the
LED is on, the load is on.

BLCD16DIM

Steps

1. Remove all sources of power.

2. Remove ballast channel cover.

3. Mount BLCD16DIM (a couple of mounting options are
shown in Figures C and D ).

4. Wire the BLCD16DIM using an illustration from the
“Typical Applications” section on page 4 or similar setups
for different application.

5. Before applying power, review the Important Safeguards at
the beginning of this document.

6. Finish installation as required by the NEC, NFPA, state,
local, and other codes. Test the BLCD16DIM using the
“Test Procedure” on page 6.

MAINTENANCE

No routine maintenance is required for the GTD10DIM or BLCD16DIM. However, it should be checked periodically to ensure that
it is working properly. Note: Make sure to disconnect both the normal and emergency panel circuit breakers before servicing.
