S93F
SPECIFICATION-GRADE: UP TO 3500 LUMENS
THREE LAMP EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION
APPLICATION
The S93F fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with an INSTANT START, PARALLEL AC ballast to convert new or existing fluorescent fixtures into emergency lighting. The emergency ballast consists of a field replaceable nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one black case. The S93F can be used with two or three 32 W (4') T8 fluorescent lamps, two or three 39 W or two 40 W to 55 W (4-pin) long compact fluorescent lamps without integral starters (See Table 1). It is ONLY compatible with instant start, parallel 2, 3, and 4-lamp electronic and standard AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary. The S93F is suitable for use with indoor fixtures EXCEPT air handling heated air outlets, and wet, damp, or hazardous location fixtures. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: hospital surgical suites, areas along the path of egress with high ceiling heights, as well as health care, educational, commercial and institutional facilities needing higher levels of emergency illumination.
OPERATION
When AC power fails, the S93F immediately switches to the emergency mode, keeping two or three lamps illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the S93F automatically returns to the charging mode.
INSTALLATION
The S93F 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 S93F may be installed 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. A charging indicator light and single pole test switch are provided. Upon request, a single pole test switch/monitor plate is provided for remote installation of the test switch and charging indicator. (fits single-gang box)
UL and CODE COMPLIANCE
The S93F 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 installation or field retrofit. Emergency illumination time exceeds the National ElectricalCode (NEC), Life Safety Code (NFPA LSC) and UL 90-minute requirements.
BATTERY
The S93F uses a field replaceable, nickel-cadmium battery specifically designed and constructed for high temperature applications. 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 S93F emergency ballast. This emergency ballast shall consist of a field replaceable, high-temperature maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry contained in one 16 5/16" x 5 7/16" x 1 3/4" metal case with a 2' length of flexible conduit. 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 (two or three) fluorescent lamps at _________lumens (see Table 1) initial light output in the emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes. The S93F shall have 8.0 Watts maximum of input power, 57.6 Watt-hour battery capacity, and exceed emergency standards set forth by the current NEC. The emergency ballast shall be UL Listed for installation on top of or remote from the fixture, warranted for a full five years from date of purchase.
WARRANTY
Model S93F 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, labor or any other charges; nor does it apply to any equipment of another manufacturer used in conjunction with the emergency ballast.
