BDL-900
APPLICATION
The BDL900 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 red case. The BDL900 can be used with one 17 W through 40 W (2' - 4') T8, T10, or T12 fluorescent lamp without integral starters, including U-shaped, HO, VHO, circline, energy saving, and (4-pin) compact. 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 BDL900 is not suitable for use in air handling heated air outlet fixtures, and wet, damp, or hazardous location fixtures. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory.
OPERATION
When AC power fails, the BDL900 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 BDL900 automatically returns to the charging mode.
UL and CODE COMPLIANCE
The BDL900 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 BDL900 uses a specially constructed, high-temperature nickel cadmium battery. This battery requires no maintenance, and has a life expectancy of 7 to 10 years.
WARRANTY
Model BDL900 is warranted for one (1) full year from date of purchase. This warranty covers only properly installed Bodine emergency ballasts used under normal conditions. For the warranty period Bodine 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.
