FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE  Ideal for applications requiring attractive die-cast aluminum signage, superior il-
lumination and low energy consumption.
CONSTRUCTION  Precision-molded, die-cast aluminum construction — ultra-slim, compact housing.
Fine-grain brushed aluminum faceplate with matte black electrostatic polymeric trim. Clear lacquer finish
on brushed face inhibits fingerprints and other surface contaminants.
All electronics located inside housing.
Fully overlapping light seal prevents light leaks. Universal directional chevron knockouts are completely
concealed and easily removed. Hinged faceplate and spring latches for easy lamp compartment access,
no exposed hardware.
Letters 6" high with 3/4" stroke, with 100 ft viewing distance rating, based upon UL924 standards.
U.S. Patent No. 5,739,639, 5,954,423 and 6,502,044. Canada Patent No. 2,204,218. Other
patents pending.
OPTICS  Lamp is constructed using new LED technology. Provides perfectly uniform illumination to
meet 3/4" letter stroke required by code.
The typical life of the exit LED lamp is 10 years, based on continuous operation. Unique LED lamp platform
accommodates both single-face and double-face exits.
Low energy consumption — red exit consumes std .81W, 1.3W (120V), green exit consumes std is 1W, 1.5W
(120V). Universal input voltage capabilities (120V through 277V, 50 or 60 HZ).
ELECTRICAL  Solid-state electronic elements to eliminate risk of electromechanical failures.
Surge protection meets ANSI/IEEE C62.41 category B and IEC 1000 immunity standards for high voltage
surges, electrostatic discharges, high frequency electrical fast transients and line voltage dips/swells.
Emergency Operation (for EL N option only): Battery: Sealed, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium
battery delivers 90 minutes capacity to lamp.
Self-diagnostics (SD option only): Two-state constant-current charger maximizes battery life and
automatically recharges after battery discharge. Test switch provided for manual testing.
Self-diagnostic testing for five minutes every 30 days, 30 minutes at 180-day interval, and 90 minutes
annually.
Diagnostic evaluation of LED light source, AC to DC transfer, charging and battery condition.
Continuously monitors AC functionality.
Low voltage disconnect prevents excessive deep discharge that can permanently damage the battery.
Single-point microcomputer control for all electronic features.
Crystal oscillator timing system with watchdog protection for precision accuracy.
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% of nominal.
Single multi-chromatic LED indicator to display two-state charging, test activation and three-state
diagnostic status.
Test switch provides manual activation of 30-second diagnostic testing for on-demand visual inspection.
INSTALLATION  Universal mounting (top, end or back). Double face available with top or end mounting
only. LRE: Trim ring has 3/4” depth adjustment to ensure a flush fit against the surface. Protrudes 1/10”
from the surface. No exposed hardware.
Die-cast aluminum canopy provided for surface mount only.
LISTINGS  UL damp location listed 50°F - 104°F (10°C - 40°C). Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life
Safety Code), NEC and OSHA illumination standards. North Carolina Department of Insurance. NEMA
Premium certified.
WARRANTY — 5-year limited warranty. (Battery is prorated.) Complete warranty terms located at
www.acuitybrands.com/CustomerResources/Terms_and_conditions.aspx
Actual performance may differ as a result of end-user environment and application.
All values are design or typical values, measured under laboratory conditions at 25 °C.
