1.01	FLUORESCENT MODULES
A.	General
1.	The fluorescent with battery backup battery modules shall be the Fluorescent modules as manufactured by Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc., or equal. Sensor modules shall be designed for dependable, economical service in architectural, theatrical and video applications.
2.	Fluorescent with battery backup modules shall provide operating power and dimming control to two-wire electronic ballasts for dimmable fluorescent fixtures that require a secondary hot output for their integral battery backup.
B.	Electrical
1.	Each module shall contain a single-pole circuit breaker, associated fuses, a solid-state switching module, and power and control connectors.
2.	Modules shall not have any protruding pins subject to physical damage when the module is not installed.
3.	Modules shall be keyed so that modules of different capacity shall not be interchangeable.
4.	Circuit breakers shall be fully magnetic so the trip current is not affected by ambient temperature. Circuit breakers shall be rated for loads having an inrush rating of no less than 20 times normal current. Circuit breakers shall be have a 125 percent, 10 -120 seconds, must-trip rating. Circuit breakers shall be rated 100% switching duty applications.  The breakers shall not derate over product life cycle. Dimmers that do not operate continuously at 100% load shall not be acceptable.
5.	Each module shall have replaceable fuses on both the hot and dimmed AC circuits to protect from short circuit damage.
C.	SCR Assembly
1.	Each module shall use a solid state module (SSM) consisting of two silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) in an inverse parallel configuration, and all required gating circuitry on the high voltage side of an integral, opto-coupled control voltage isolator. Rectifiers, copper leads and a ceramic substrate shall be reflow-soldered to an integral heat sink for maximum heat dissipation. The SSM shall also contain a control LED, an output LED, a thermistor for temperature sensing, and silver-plated control and load contacts. The entire SSM shall be sealed in a plastic housing requiring only a screwdriver to replace. Dimmers employing triac power devices, pulse transformers, or other isolating devices not providing at least 2,500V RMS isolation, shall not be acceptable. Modules requiring disassembly, heat sink grease or additional tools for repair shall not be acceptable.
2.	All electronic components (current/voltage sensors and indicators) shall be contained in a single, field-replaceable housing. Modules requiring discrete wiring of electronic components shall not be acceptable.
3.	SCR power switching devices shall have the following minimum ratings:

Module Size:	15A	20A	
Single cycle peak surge current	625A	625A	
Half cycle peak surge current	1,620A	1,620A	
Transient over voltage	600V	600V	
Die size (in)	.257	.257	
D.	Dimmer Range
1.	The module shall have user-configurable threshold levels that may be set via the Control Electronics Modules within the dimmer rack. This electronic setting shall allow selection of module outputs suitable to match most ballast dimming ranges, without the use of trim-pots. 
E.	Physical
1.	Fluorescent modules shall be fully plug-in and factory wired. The modules shall consist of a heavy duty, die-cast aluminum chassis with integral face panel. No tools shall be required for module removal and insertion. All parts shall be properly treated, primed and finished in fine-texture, scratch resistant, gray epoxy powder coat. With the exception of the circuit breaker, the module shall contain no moving parts. Each module shall be labeled with the manufacturer's name, catalog number and rating. Modules constructed of molded plastic for structural support are not equivalent and are not acceptable. Fluorescent modules shall be and cUL Listed for continuous duty at 100% of rated load. 
a.	D15FB	1.8kW
b.	D20FB	2.4kW
