Larson Electronics XXL-EMG-T8-32W Emergency Backup Ballast for Fluorescent T8 Light Fixtures

Description:

The XXL-EMG-T8-32W from Larson Electronics is an Emergency Backup Ballast for fluorescent T8 lights. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W can be used to replace broken, damaged, missing, or otherwise malfunctioning ballasts in existing emergency T8 fluorescent lights or add emergency functionality to existing T8 fluorescent lights. This ballast has an AC input power rating of 5 watts and provides 300-700 lumens of emergency illumination for 90 minutes following a power outage or other loss of power. It allows the connected fixture(s) to be on, off, switched, or dimmed without affecting emergency operation. Each unit consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger, and electronic circuitry in one steel case. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W provides power to the input side of the fixture, including the ballast, and can be used with indoor or outdoor emergency fixture applications.

The XXL-EMG-T8-32W supports emergency illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W will provide input power to the ballasted lamp supporting it at 100% of the AC rated output throughout the 90-minute emergency illumination period. Upon failure of normal power, the ballast instantly begins providing emergency power to the connected lighting load for a minimum of 90 minutes. A solid-state low voltage disconnect circuit protects the inverter battery from severe damage by deep discharge during prolonged power failures. When normal power is restored, the XXL-EMG-T8-32W automatically returns to charge mode. The battery capacity is fully restored in 24 hours. The ballast does not affect normal fixture operation and may be used with a switched or unswitched fixture. It can be installed in close proximity to the fixture or remote from the fixture (up to 250 feet).

Emergency lighting shall be provided by using a standard fixture equipped with the Larson Electronics XXL-EMG-T8-32W. Each unit consists of a high-temperature, maintenance free nickel-cadmium battery, charger, and electronic circuitry contained in one 9.4″ x 2.4″ x 1.5″ metal case. Solid-state indicator lights signal operational status. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W unit shall be capable of powering any T8 fluorescent lighting fixture rated at a maximum of 5 W (AC input power rating) for a minimum 90 minutes regardless of local switch position. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W shall allow the connected fixture(s) to be on, off, switched or dimmed without affecting emergency operation. The XXL-EMG-T8-32W unit shall exceed emergency standards set forth by the current NEC. It is suitable for use in damp locations.
