(1.5 kg) Product Features High-Lumen Output, Low-Profile Design for Ballast Channel Installation in Space-Limited Fixtures. APPLICATION The B50LP low-profile fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with a low-profile or standard-size AC ballast to convert new or existing fluorescent fixtures into unobtrusive emergency lighting. The emergency ballast consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one compact case. The B50LP can be used with most W (2-8 ) T8, T9, T10 or T12 fluorescent lamps without integral starters, including U-shaped, HO, VHO, circline and energy-saving, and (4-pin) rapid-start long compact fluorescent lamps. 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 B50LP 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 contact the factory. Recommended applications include: emergency lighting for pendant, cove, recessed indirect/direct, surface-mount and architectural lighting commonly used in office, hospitality, health care, retail and educational facilities. OPERATION When AC power fails, the B50LP automatically switches to emergency power, operating one or two lamps at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast returns to the charging mode and, using a patented circuit, delays AC ballast operation for approximately 3 seconds to prevent false tripping of the AC ballast end-of-lamp-life shutdown circuits. INSTALLATION The B50LP 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 B50LP may be installed inside, 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. UL AND CODE COMPLIANCE The B50LP 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 or field installation. Emergency illumination time exceeds the National Electrical Code (NEC), Life Safety Code (NFPA-LSC) and UL 90-minute requirements.

2 B50lp Fluorescent Emergency Ballast Specification grade; High lumen, low profile End-of-lamp-life compatible EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION Depending on the number (one or two), wattage and type of lamps selected, the B50LP produces 750 to 1300 lumens initial emergency light output (see Table 2). If two-lamp operation is selected, light output is evenly divided between the lamps for better distribution of emergency illumination. SPECIFICATION Emergency lighting shall be provided by using a standard fluorescent fixture equipped with a Bodine B50LP low-profile emergency ballast. The B50LP consists of a high-temperature, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry contained in one 21.5 x 1.18 x 1.18 galvanized steel case. 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, using a patented circuit, shall delay AC ballast operation for approximately 3 seconds to prevent false tripping of AC ballast end-of-lamp-life shutdown circuits. The emergency ballast shall be capable of operating [one or two] fluorescent lamp(s) (see Table 1) at lumens (see Table 2) initial light output in the emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes. It shall be suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed & gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. The B50LP shall have 4 Watts of input power and a 21.0 Watt-hour battery capacity and shall exceed emergency standards set forth by the current NEC. The emergency ballast shall be UL Listed for installation inside, on top of or remote from the fixture and shall be warranted for a full five years from date of purchase. WARRANTY Model B50LP is warranted for five (5) full years 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.

With Bodine s LP Series Low-Profile Fluorescent Emergency Ballasts, you can have it all architecturally demanding fixture design and reliable, code-compliant emergency lighting. Bodine s LP Series combines performance, quality and high-lumen output into a low-profile unit that transforms new and existing standard and high-output T5 and T8 fixtures into unobtrusive emergency lighting. The LP Series is ideal for pendant, cove, recessed indirect/direct, surface-mount and other architectural or spacelimited lighting applications. Application LP Series low-profile fluorescent emergency ballasts work in conjunction with an AC ballast to convert new or existing fluorescent fixtures into unobtrusive emergency lighting. Operation Recommended uses include office buildings, retail outlets, hospitality spaces, healthcare facilities and any other location where aesthetics is a concern. When AC power fails, LP Series emergency ballasts immediately switch into emergency mode, operating one or two lamps (depending upon the LP model) for a minimum of 90 minutes with up to 1300 lumens (depending upon the lamp and LP model) initial emergency light output. 2 Sales Fax

5 bodine LP Product Information Low-Profile Design LP Series emergency ballast dimensions allow ballast channel installation into spacelimited fixtures. Low heights and narrow widths permit LP Series models to be paired with newer electronic AC ballasts, while lengths permit installation into most 2-4 T5, T8 and (4-pin) long compact fluorescent fixtures. AC Ballast Compatibility LP Series emergency ballasts are compatible with electronic, standard, energy-saving and dimming AC ballasts High-Lumen Output LP Series emergency ballasts produce up to 1300 lumens initial emergency light output. LP Series emergency ballast dimensions allow ballast channel installation into spacelimited fixtures. UL Listed The LP600 is also CSA Certified. Ideal for Office, Hospitality, Healthcare, Educational & Retail Applications End-of-Lamp-Life Shutdown Circuitry Preservation Following emergency operation, the B50LP, LP600, LP550 and LP500, using a patented circuit, delay AC ballast operation for approximately 3 seconds to prevent false tripping of the AC ballast end-of-lamp-life shutdown circuitry. Because LP Series emergency ballasts are inconspicuous, they preserve fixture/room aesthetics while reducing the likelihood of vandalism to the emergency lighting unit. 236 Mt. Pleasant Rd.
