APPLICATION
The B50Cold-Pak emergency ballast works in conjunction with an 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 B50ColdPak can be used with most 17 - 215 W (2’ - 8’) T8, T9, T10 or T12 fluorescent lamps without integral starters, including U-shaped, HO, VHO, circline and energy-saving. 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 B50Cold-Pak is suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed & gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. It is not suitable for air handling heated air outlets or wet or hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory.
OPERATION
When AC power fails, the B50Cold-Pak immediately switches to the emergency mode, operating either one or two lamps at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the B50Cold-Pak either heats the battery or charges it, depending on the temperature.
INSTALLATION
The B50Cold-Pak 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 B50Cold-Pak may be installed inside the fixture. Contact the manufacturer for installation on top of or remote from the fixture.
