The S60T low profile fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction
with the AC ballast to convert new or existing fluorescent fixtures into emergency lighting. The emergency ballast consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one compact case. The S60T can be used with most 17 W through 215 W (2' - 8') T8, T9, T10, or T12 fluorescent lamps without integral starters, including U-shaped, HO, VHO, circline, energy saving, and (4-pin) twin, quad, and triple twin-tube compacts. One or two lamp operation may be selected (see Table 1). It is also compatible with most one-, two, three- and four-lamp electronic, standard, energy saving, and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary. The S60T is suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed and gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. It is not suitable for use in air handling heated air outlets or wet or hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory.

When AC power fails, the S60T immediately switches to the emergency mode, keeping either one or two lamps illuminated at reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the S60T automatically returns to the charging mode.

The S60T 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 AC ballast. The S60T may be installed inside, on top of, or remote from the fixture. The emergency ballast may be remotely installed up to half the distance the AC ballast manufacturer recommends remoting the AC 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 for extended periods.

The S60T has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories in accordance with the standards set forth in UL924, “Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment,” and is UL Listed for factory installation or field retrofit. Emergency illumination time exceeds the National Electrical Code (NEC), Life Safety Code (NFPA-LSC) and UL 90-minute requirements.

Since high temperatures exist in fluorescent fixtures, the S60T uses a specially constructed, high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery. This battery requires no maintenance, and has a life expectancy of 7 to 10 years.

EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION

Depending on the number (1 or 2), wattage, and type of lamps selected, the S60T produces 750 to 1300 lumens initial emergency light output (See Table 2). If two-lamp operation is selected, light output is evenly divided between the lamps for better distribution of emergency illumination.

SPECIFICATION

Emergency lighting shall be provided by using a standard fluorescent fixture equipped with a SIDE-LITE S60T emergency ballast. This emergency ballast shall consist of a high-temperature, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry contained in one 21.5” x 1.18” x 1.18” metal case. A solid-state charging indicatior 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 or two] _______ fluorescent lamp(s) (see Table 1) at ______ lumens (see Table 2) initial light output in the emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes. The S60T shall have 4.0 watts of input power, a 21.0 Watt-hour battery 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 warranted for a full five years from date of purchase.

WARRANTY

Model S60T is warranted for five (5) full years from date of purchase. This warranty covers only properly installed SIDE-LITE emergency ballasts used under normal conditions. For the warranty period SIDE-LITE 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,
