Bodine GTD Generator Transfer Device

  1

Product Application

The GTD generator transfer device works in conjunction with an auxiliary generator or a central inverter system to power existing fluorescent or LED fixtures for egress lighting regardless of fixture wall switch position. The device consists of relay switching circuitry and fusing in one compact galvanized steel case. One generator transfer device per fixture is used to bypass the fixture wall switch, allowing the building’s generator (or central inverter) to bring on switchable fixtures. The generator transfer device is suitable for indoor or damp locations and for sealed and gasketed fixtures. Recommended applications include: auditoriums, classrooms or any other location with generator (or central inverter) supplied lighting.

Product Operation

The GTD generator transfer device senses the loss of normal power and switches the AC ballast or driver input power connection to an unswitched, generator (or central inverter) supplied lighting circuit. No routine maintenance is required to keep the GTD functional; however, like other life safety unit equipment, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is working properly.

The GTD generator transfer device does not affect normal fixture operation and comes fully assembled to mount inside, on top of or remote from the fixture ballast.

In addition to available wiring, the device requires a direct, unswitched connection to a generator (or central inverter) supplied emergency panel and an unswitched source on the same branch circuit as the switched supply (see diagram below).
