McBride is dedicated to helping our customers save energy by providing state of the art solutions such as EnerLume-EM™. Contact McBride for more information about achieving a 15% reduction in energy with virtually no loss of fluorescent light output with EnerLume-EM™:

What is the EnerLume-EM™?
The EnerLume-EM™ is an energy saving device for use with new or existing fluorescent lighting systems. By conditioning the incoming power wave, it reduces electrical consumption with negligible lumen loss at savings up to 15%. Greater savings are possible with some lumen loss. Savings percentages are set using the EnerLume-EM™ software (Windows® based) provided. This software allows the user to program changes to savings and "On/Off" as timed events.

Installation
Installation is accomplished by "splicing" the EnerLume-EM™ in between the supply feeder and the lighting panel. Suitable for three phase or single phase systems.

In typical installations, the EnerLume-EM™ is mounted adjacent to the fluorescent lighting panel to be treated. A single EnerLume-EM™ unit can treat all fixtures fed by the lighting panel. The EnerLume-EM™ is UL and CUL listed and housed in a steel, NEMA rated enclosure. The EnerLume-EM™ is offered in six different models to meet your specific voltage and capacity requirements.

Ballast Requirements
The EnerLume-EM™ works with either T8 or T12 ballasts. Testing shows that the greatest savings with the least lumen loss are achieved when the EnerLume-EM™ is used with single voltage T8 ballasts.

Summary of Features

Provides up to 15% savings with light output changes imperceptible to the human eye - Big savings with the lights "ON".

Works with existing ballasts - No need to discard recently installed ballasts to save energy.

Reduce lighting bills from 12 - 25% on most fluorescent lighting systems - Saves money and helps meet curtailment and Demand Response programs.

One EnerLume-EM™ Controls many fixtures - Affordable solution that is quick and easy to install.

Exclusive software package for programming and monitoring - Provides up to 300 event changes per phase for maximum flexibility and management of light levels.

Remote programmability - Allows savings levels changes from any authorized computer.

Simple to operate - Set your savings schedule and forget it.

Automatic ballast warm-up cycle - Lights start quickly even on the coldest days,

Voltage monitor detects brownout conditions and automatically adjusts - Maintains chosen light levels during periods of low voltage.

UL / CUL listed - Meets UL, CUL, NEC, and NEMA electrical code requirements and safety standards.

Bypass - The EnerLume-EM™ is equipped with an electronic bypass. It is accessible only after removing the outer cover. The cover and panel are equipped with holes for a security seal, This satisfies utility requirements for energy saving devices by preventing use of the bypass except in the event of an equipment failure.

Generator Compatibility - The EnerLume-EM™ is compatible with generators. The EnerLume-EM™ adjusts to any sine waves shift caused by the transition from grid to generator or generator to grid.

Computer Connection - The EnerLume-EM™ connects to any PC or Laptop via a serial cable via an external RJ-45 jack located on the upper right side of the enclosure.

Control Software - The EnerLume-EM™ is controlled with the EnerLume-EM™ Energy Manager software provided. This software is compatible with the Windows® family of operating systems, This software controls each phase independently and allows the user to program lighting changes as timed events and/or turn all lights associated with each of the phases on and off.
