WARNING: TURN POWER OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLING. ONLY QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIANS SHOULD INSTALL THE BLCD-20B.
The BLCD-20B works in conjunction with an auxiliary generator or central inverter system. The unit allows lighting
control devices for normal lighting to also control emergency lighting installed within the area. The BLCD-20B is
designed for lighting control in areas where emergency lighting fixtures are connected on dedicated emergency light-
ing circuits that are typically ON 24 hours per day. The BLCD-20B allows ON/OFF control of the emergency lighting
along with the normal room lighting to save energy. The intended operation of the BLCD-20B is to guarantee that
the emergency lighting is ON whenever normal power to the controlled circuit is interrupted. While normal power is
present, the BLCD-20B allows control of the emergency lighting by a device such as an occupancy sensor, a relay, a
dimmer, or a wall switch.

  • Page 2: Wiring Diagrams

    BLCD-20B units shall be installed in accordance with state, local and national electrical codes and requirements. • BLCD-20B units are designed to attach to a junction box or electrical enclosures that are fitted with a 7/8” diameter opening (standard 1/2”knockout). •...
  • Page 3: Installation Procedure

    The BLCD-20B provides leads for connection of a remote device that can force the unit into the emergency ON mode. The leads are in the form of a factory installed jumper loop (blue wire) on the BLCD-20B. When the loop is complete, it disables this function. Do not cut this jumper unless remote activation is desired.
  • Page 4 > With only the emergency circuit ON (normal power OFF) the emergency lighting should be ON. STEP #2 > Temporarily disconnect and cap the wire connected to the Normal Switch Sense lead on the BLCD-20B. > This disables the normal control function and allows definitive testing of the fail-to-ON functionality.
