warranty
• This emergency ballast does not affect normal luminaire operation and may be used with either a switched or unswitched luminaire. If a switched luminaire 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 DEB-6LP may be installed inside or on top of luminaire. Installation is not recommended with luminaires where the ambient temperature may fall below 32°F (0°C) for extended periods.
• Five year warranty on unit from date of purchase.
Ordering Information For retrofit field installation. Order catalog number DEB-6LP. For factory installed DEB-6LP use a suffix number -E6LP with luminaire catalog number.
