TECHNICAL DATA
Lamps
The APXEL Series Exits use energy efficient,
long-life LEDs to provide uniform diffuse
illumination of the exit face. These red and
green LEDs require no maintenance. The
low operating costs and zero maintenance
requirement makes LED lamps the wisest choice
for exit signs today. Emergency illumination is
provided by LED lamps.
Housing Construction
Durable, injection-molded plastic materials
are used throughout the APXEL Series exits.
All structural components are designed with
reinforcing ribs to add additional rigidity and to
maximize structural integrity. These materials
are impact and scratch-resistant and they have
been UV stabilized to resist discoloration due
to age and ultraviolet radiation. All components
are designed to be of snap-fit construction to

Line-Latched (Self-Powered Only)
Sure-Lites line-latched electronic circuitry
makes installation easy and economical. A
labor efficient AC activated load switch prevents
the lamps from turning on during installation
to a non-energized AC circuit. Line-latching
eliminates the need for a contractor’s return
to a job site to connect the batteries when the
building’s main power is turned on.
Solid-State Charger
Supplied with a 120/277 VAC, voltage regulated
solid-state charger, the battery is recharged
immediately upon restoration of AC current
after a power failure. The charge circuit reacts to
the condition of the battery in order to maintain
peak battery capacity and maximize battery life.
Solid-state construction recharges the battery
following a power failure in accordance with UL
924.

can be wall-, ceiling- or end-mounted. A rugged,
snap-fit, low profile canopy with captive screw
is included with every exit.

monitors the flow of AC current to the exit and
activates the emergency lighting system when

Universal, field-installable chevrons are
provided in bright red or deep green colors
allowing for universal configuration of the
exit sign based on the directional needs of the
application. The edge reflector further enhances
visibility.
Solid-State Transfer
The APXEL Series Exit incorporates solid-state
switching which eliminates corroded and pitted
contacts or mechanical failures associated with
relays. The switching circuit is designed to
detect a loss of AC voltage and automatically
energizes the lamps using DC power. Upon
restoration of AC power, the DC power will be
disconnected and the charger will automatically
recharge the battery.

Test Switch/Power Indicator Light
A test switch located on the front of the exit
permits the activation of the emergency circuit
for a complete operational systems check. The
Power Indicator Light provides visual assurance
that the AC power is on.
Sealed Nickel Cadmium Battery
Sure-Lites sealed nickel cadmium batteries are
maintenance-free with a life expectancy of 10
years. The sealed rechargeable nickel cadmium
battery offers high discharge rates and stable
performance over a wide range of temperatures.
The specially designed resealable vent
automatically controls cell pressure, assuring
safety and reliability. This battery is best suited
for harsh ambient temperatures because the
electrolyte is not active in the electrochemical
process.
Warranty
All Sure-Lites’ products are backed by a full fiveyear warranty against defects in material and
workmanship.
