S70T
THIN SERIES
ONE LAMP EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION
APPLICATION
The S70T fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with a slim AC ballast to convert new or existing low-profile 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 S70T can be used with most
16 W through 40 W (2'-4') T8, T10, or T12 fluorescent lamps without integral starters, including U-shaped, energy saving, and (4-pin) compacts. It is also compatible with most 1, 2, 3, and 4-lamp electronic, standard, energy saving, and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary. The S70T is not suitable for use in air handling heated air outlet fixtures, and wet, damp, or hazardous location fixtures. For information about specific lamps and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: emergency lighting fixtures with limited space inside the ballast channel including pendant-mounted, shallow surfaced-mounted, and low-profile linear fluorescent fixtures.
OPERATION
When AC power fails, the S70T immediately switches to the emergency mode, keeping one lamp illuminated at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the S70T automatically returns to the charging mode.
INSTALLATION
The S70T 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 S70T must be installed inside the fixture. Installation is not recommended with fixtures where the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C for extended periods.
UL and CODE COMPLIANCE
The S70T 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.
BATTERY
Since high temperatures exist in fluorescent fixtures, the S70T uses a specially constructed, high-temperature nickel cadmium battery. This battery requires no maintenance, and has a life expectancy of 7 to 10 years.

SPECIFICATION
Emergency lighting shall be provided by using a standard fluorescent fixture equipped with a Side-Lite S70T emergency ballast. This emergency ballast shall consist of a high-temperature, maintenance-free nickel cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry contained in one 14.1" x 1.5" x 1.0" galvanized steel case. A solid-state charging indicator 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 16 W - 40 W (2'-4') T8, T10, or T12 fluorescent lamp or (4-pin) compact fluorescent lamp at reduced illumination in the emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes. The S70T shall produce 350 to 450 lumens initial emergency light output, have 1.5 W of input power, a 7.2 Wh battery capacity, and comply with emergency standards set forth by the current NEC. The emergency ballast shall be UL Listed for installation inside the fixture, warranted for a full three years from date of purchase, and made in the U.S.A.
WARRANTY
Model S70T is warranted for three (3) 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, labor or any other charges; nor does it apply to any equipment of another manufacturer used in conjunction with the emergency ballast.| Product Summary | |
