FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE — Provides a minimum of 90 minutes illumination for the rated wattage upon loss of
AC power. Ideal for applications requiring low-prole, attractive emergency lighting.
CONSTRUCTION — Compact, low-prole, architectural design with die-cast aluminum housing. Avail-
able nishes are texturized polyester powder coat paint in brushed nickel, white, black and dark bronze.
All nishes can be painted in the eld to match the wall color of choice.
U.S. Patent No. D468,046.
OPTICS — Standard optics provided with two 6W wedge-base xenon lamps oer 55 percent more light
output than standard incandescent lamps. Patent-pending reector/refractor design features superior
vac-metalized, die-casted reectors; and multi-faceted, highly transmissive refractor that signicantly
improve photometrics.
Forward throw (FWD) option optics provided with two high-brightness white LEDs (10.8W total),
projecting an NFPA-101 compliant path 3' wide and 28' forward, when mounted 8-1/2' AFF. The typical
life of the LED lamp is 10 years.
All light sources meet requirements for NEC 700.16.
Dual-voltage input capability (120/277V).
Edge connectors on printed circuit board ensure long-term durability.
Universal J-box mounting pattern.
Low-prole, integrated test switch/pilot light located below the lens.
Easily visible green status indicator.
Rigid conduit entry provision on top of the unit.
Battery: Sealed, maintenance-free lead-calcium battery provides 12W rated capacity. Nickel-cadmium
battery with Premium and Exterior option packages.
Automatic 48-hour recharge after a 90-minute discharge.
Low-voltage disconnect prevents excessively deep discharge that can permanently damage the battery.
Single-circuit battery connection.
ELECTRICAL — Current-limiting charger maximizes battery life and minimizes energy consumption.
Provides low operating costs.
Short-circuit protection — current-limiting charger circuitry protects printed circuit board from shorts.
Thermal protection senses circuitry temperature and adjusts charge current to prevent overheating
and charger failure.
Thermal compensation adjusts charger output to provide optimum charge voltage relative to ambient
temperature.
Regulated charge voltage maintains constant-charge voltage over a wide range of line voltages. Prevents
over/undercharging that shortens battery life and reduces capacity.
Filtered charger input minimizes charge voltage ripple and extends battery life.
AC/LVD reset allows battery connection before AC power is applied and prevents battery damage from
deep discharge.
Brownout protection is automatically switched to emergency mode when supply voltage drops below
80 percent of nominal.
EXT option package includes 20-minute time delay for supplemental lighting during HID startup.
Self-diagnostics (PREM and EXT option packages)
Patented Electronics - U.S. Patent No. D468,046 and 6,502,044.
