FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE — Specification grade emergency ballast to operate fluorescent lamps in emergency condi-
tions. Factory installed inside the fixture or field installed outside the fixture to operate fluorescent lamps at a
reduced light output providing illumination for 90 minutes when normal power failure occurs.
CONSTRUCTION — Black, 20-gauge steel, sealed housing. Housing provides extra room for wire routing in
ballast channel.
Dual-voltage input capability (120V or 277V).
Polarized quick-connect pilot light/test switch assembly simplifies installation.
Patent pending integrated test switch pilot light that requires only one-hole drilling.
U.S. Patent No. 6,522,147; 5,814,971; 6,577,136
PERFORMANCE — Compatible with electronic, rapid start, instant start, slimline, preheat or trigger start
ballast in standard or energy-saving configurations for 90 minutes emergency back-up. See compatibility
chart on page 2.
Unit wires two ways: on night light circuit (permanently energized) or on switchable circuit (unswitched circuit
to battery pack and switched circuit to fixture ballast). Unit will strike normally off lamp.
BATTERY — Sealed, maintenance-free, high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery. Ensures long life over a
wide range of temperatures. 24-hour battery recharge after 90-minute discharge. External battery connectors
allows emegency ballast to be disabled for maintenance and installation. Pilot light and test switch provide
visual and manual means of monitoring system operation.
ELECTRONIC — Constant-current series resistor-type charger. Capacitive input circuit provides high efficiency
and reliable operation. 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 — Mounts concealed within fixture wireway for clean appearance and protection against
vandalism; or mounts on outside of fixture housing if internal space is limited. Two ½" holes in fixture channel
permit mounting of test switch/pilot light behind fixture lens. External mounting requires two accessory kits
ELA PSMK. Kit adds 6" maximum to overall length. Unique size (13-5/16" L x 2-3/8" W x 1-5/8" H) fits a variety
of fixtures/luminaires per the compatibility chart on page 2.
LISTING — UL listed. Damp location listed. Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life Safety Code), NEC and OSHA
illumination standards. UL approved for installation in sealed and gasketed fixtures. UL approved for installation
in wet and damp location listed fixtures, 0-50°C (32-122°F). (Note: DW does not make the emegency ballast
suitable for mounting outside the fixture in a wet location application.)
WARRANTY — 5-year limited warranty. Complete warranty terms located at:
www.acuitybrands.com/CustomerResources/Terms_and_conditions.aspx
NOTE: Actual performance may differ as a result of end-user environment and application.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
