All metal formed aluminum 
lampheads. The die cast metal 
three dimensional swivel 
assembly permits approximate 
aiming adjustment from 80° 
vertical and 358° rotation. The 
placement is secured with a 
lockable pivot mounted on a 
rotating base ring.
L a mps
Designed specifically for 
emergency lighting applications, 
the PAR 36 sealed beam type 
design insures optimum glarefree light distribution along 
with horizontal and vertical 
adjustment by rotating the lens 
within the housing. Tungsten 
halogen lamps maximize light 
output with lower wattage. 
H o usi ng
The rugged 18-gauge dieformed steel housing is finished 
with an attractive white 
corrosion-resistant polyester 
powder coat paint. Cabinet has 
keyhole mounting slots, 
universal mounting pattern, 
and knockouts in rear and side 
for AC/DC wiring connections 
and accessory cord set. Up to 
three lighting heads can be 
mounted on the cabinet.
L i ne- La tc he d
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 permanently 
turned on.
S o lid -S ta te C ha rg er
Supplied with a 120/277 VAC, 
voltage regulated solid-state 
charger. Immediately upon 
restoration of AC current after 
a power failure, the charger 
provides a high charge rate. 
The charge circuit reacts to the 
condition of the battery and 
alters the rate of charge 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.
O v erl oa d an d Sh or t 
C i rcu it P ro te ct io
n
The solid-state overload 
monitoring device in the DC 
circuit disconnects the lamp 
load from the battery should 
excessive wattage demands be 
made and automatically resets 
when the overload or short 
circuit is removed. This 
overload current protective 
feature eliminates the need 
for fuses or circuit breakers 
for the DC load.
B r own ou t Ci rc ui t
The brownout circuit in SureLites’ units monitors the flow 
of AC current to the unit and 
activates the emergency 
lighting system when a 
predetermined reduction 
of AC power occurs. This 
dip in voltage will cause most 
ballasted fixtures to extinguish 
causing loss of normal lighting 
even though a total power 
failure has not occurred.
S o lid -S ta te T r ans fe r
The unit incorporates a solidstate switching transistor 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. Upon restoration of 
the AC power, the emergency 
lamps will switch off and the 
charger will automatically 
recharge the battery.
L o w-V o l tag e Di sc on ne ct
When the battery’s terminal 
voltage falls below 80% of the 
rated voltage, the low-voltage 
circuitry disconnects the 
lighting load. The disconnect 
remains in effect until normal 
utility power is restored, 
preventing deep battery 
discharge.
Te st S wi tc h/ Po we r In di ca to r 
L i gh
t
Conveniently located Test 
Switch allows for manual 
verification of proper operation 
of the transfer circuit and 
emergency lamps. The Power 
Indicator Light provides visual 
assurance that the AC power 
is on.
S e ale d Le ad C al ci um B at te ry
The fully sealed, long-life, 
maintenance-free lead calcium 
battery is ideal for emergency 
lighting applications. These 
recombinant cycle batteries 
typically provide eight to ten 
years of life and may be 
operated in any position.
W arr an ty
All Sure-Lites’ units are backed 
by a firm one-year warranty 
against defect in material and 
workmanship (excluding 
lamps). Maintenance free, 
long-life, sealed lead calcium 
batteries carry a five-year 
pro-rata warranty.
