(1.13 kg) APPLICATION The BDL60U Universal Input fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with an 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, charger 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 V (50 or 60 Hz) one-, two-, three- and four-lamp electronic, standard, energysaving and dimming ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no 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 hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: international line voltages from 120 through 277 V (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 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 power is restored, the BDL60U automatically 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 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 ballast manufacturer recommends remoting the 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 PLIANCE 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.

BDL Series Fluorescent Backup Ballasts When Conditions Are Less Than Perfect... 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] Source: [1] Rea, Mark S. Lighting Handbook-Reference & Application. Illuminating Engineering Society of North America: 1993. For more information on the codes applicable to damp locations, see the National Electrical Code, Chapter 14, Codes and Standards. 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. Recommended uses include warehouses, covered walkways, parking garages, aircraft hangars, exterior stairways and any other location with damp rated or vapor-type fixtures. 2 Sales 800.223.5728 Fax 901.853.5009 www.bodine.com
