GTD Bodine Generator Transfer Device

DESCRIPTION

Bodine Generator Transfer Device.

APPLICATION 
The GTD emergency lighting control device works in conjunction with an auxiliary generator or a central inverter system to power existing fluorescent or LED fixtures for egress lighting regardless of fixture wall switch position. The device consists of relay switching circuitry and fusing in one compact galvanized steel case. One emergency lighting control device per fixture is used to bypass the fixture wall switch, allowing the building’s generator (or central inverter) to bring on switchable fixtures. The emergency lighting control device is suitable for indoor or damp locations and for sealed and gasketed fixtures. Recommended applications include: auditoriums, classrooms or any other location with generator (or central inverter) supplied lighting.

OPERATION 
The GTD emergency lighting control device senses the loss of normal power and switches the AC ballast or driver input power connection to an unswitched, generator (or central inverter) supplied lighting circuit. No routine maintenance is required to keep the GTD functional; however, like other life safety unit equipment, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working properly.

INSTALLATION  
The GTD emergency lighting control device does not affect normal fixture operation and comes fully assembled to mount inside, on top of or remote from the fixture ballast. In addition to available wiring, the device requires a direct, unswitched connection to a generator (or central inverter) supplied emergency panel and an unswitched source on the same branch circuit as the switched supply. This product also requires a connection to an emergency source that is derived from a UL 1008 Listed automatic transfer switch.
