FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE — Ideal for applications requiring attractive, quick-installation exit signs and low energy
consumption.
CONSTRUCTION — Engineering-grade thermoplastic housing is impact-resistant, scratch-resistant, and corro-
sion-proof. UL94V-0 ame rating. UV-stable resin resists discoloration from natural and man-made light sources.
Rugged unibody housing snaps together with no additional mechanical fasteners. Faceplate and back cover are inter-
changeable on housing. Positive snap-t tabs hold faceplate securely, yet easily removable for lamp compartment access.
Universal directional Chevron inserts are easily removed and reinserted. Uniform illumination without
shadows or hot spots. Reinforced, impact-resistant color panels. Letters 6” high with 3/4” stroke, with 100
ft. viewing distance rating, based upon UL924 standards.
U.S. Patent No. 5,526,251; 5,611,163; 5,739,639; 5,954,423; D495,751 and 6,502,044. Other
patents pending.
OPTICS — LEDs mounted on printed circuit boards. Low energy consumption – less than one watt. LED
lamp operates in normal (AC input) and emergency (DC input) modes.
The typical life of the exit LED lamp is 10 years.
ELECTRICAL — Low-voltage disconnect prevents excessively deep discharge that can permanently damage
battery. Conveniently located test switch and LED provide visual and manual means of monitoring system.
Constant-current series charger minimizes energy consumption and provides low operating costs. Printed
circuit boards are 100% quality tested during manufacturing. Current-limiting charger circuitry protects
printed circuit boards from shorts.
AC/LV reset (line latch) allows battery connection before AC power is applied and aids in preventing battery
damage from deep discharge.
Crystal oscillator timing system with watchdog protection for precision accuracy.
Brownout protection is automatically switched to emergency mode when supply voltage drops below
80% of nominal.
Battery: Sealed, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery delivers 90-minutes capacity to emergency lamps.
Two-state constant-current charge maximizes battery life and automatically recharges after battery discharge.
Diagnostics: Single-point microcomputer control for all electronic features.
Single multi-chromatic LED indicator to display two-state charging, test activation and three-state diag-
nostic status.
Test switch provides manual activation of 30-second diagnostic testing for on-demand visual inspection.
Self-diagnostic testing for ve minutes every 30 days and 30 minutes every six months.
Diagnostic evaluation of LED light source, AC to DC transfer, charging and battery condition. Continuously
monitors AC functionality.
INSTALLATION — Universal (top-, end-, or back-) mounting. Easily removed mounting knockouts. J-box
pattern on back panel. Housing snaps to canopy with four positive-locking tabs. Cam-locking pin tightly
secures housing to canopy.
