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 buildingÕs 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.
