B426 BODINE EMERGENCY INVERTER BALLAST FLUORESCENT B-426
For one or two 2-pin compact lamps
The B426 is for use with one or two twin-tube, double-twin-tube (quad), or triple-twin-tube compact fluorescent lamps
in most downlight, wall sconce and recessed wall fixture applications.
It installs easily with a variety of fixture types; however, some fixtures may not accommodate emergency equipment,
especially surface-mounted fixtures. In these situations, the B426 may be remote-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. If used with an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary.
When AC power fails, the emergency ballast automatically starts and operates the lamp at full power
the first few seconds to eliminate the need for a ground plane, then reduces to a lower lumen output to conserve battery power.
The lamp operates in the emergency mode for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast automatically returns to the charging mode. B 426
