Canopy - Ceiling or End mount

a. Determine desired mounting location of sign.
b. Route AC wires from exit through large knockout. For ceiling

mount, make sure backplate is mounted so exit face will be facing
in desired direction.

c. Fasten the spider plate to the junction box using the junction box

screws. Align the two threaded holes in the spider plate to line up
with the canopy holes for correct mounting position, end or ceil­ing.

d. Fasten the canopy to the exit using #8-32 x 3/8” screws and kep

nuts provided (See Fig. 4)

e. Fasten the canopy-exit assembly to the spider plate using the #8-

32 x 3/4” screws provided.

Electrical connection (LED models only)

a. Make the proper connections, our system accepts an input volt-

age of 120 to 350 VAC (see fig. 5). Connect the (120 to 350 V AC)
and white (Neutral) leads to the building utility. Feed excess wire
into the junction box. For remote power DC units, connect the red
wire to the positive of the DC supply and the blue to the negative
(6 to 24VDC).

b. Connect the green ground wire to the service ground or the

ground connection in the junction box.

c. When read y to energize AC, plug in battery connector to circuit

board. Connect battery and turn on AC power within 6 hours.

d. Turn on AC supply . LED strip will light and red pilot light will illumi-

nate. Allow 24 hours charge before initial duration testing.

e. Slide the diffuser panel, exit face and back plate, if removed, into

the housing. Secure end cap with the appropriate screws.

f. AC must be ON while battery is connected.

LED Strip

Electrical connection (Incandescent models only)

a. Connect wires, 120VAC to black and Neutral to white. Push the

wirenuts back into the junction box and route wires as far away
from the lamps as possible to avoid shadows or damage to the

insulation.
b. Install AC lamps.
c. Turn on AC supply.
d. Slide the diffuser panel, exit face and back plate, if removed, into

the housing. Secure end cap with the appropriate screws.

Testing

Operate test switch, LED strip will brighten. Release test switch, LED
strip will dim and pilot light will be illuminated. If LED strip appears dim or
does not light on test, leave AC connected for at least 15 minutes and re­test. If still incorrect, contact a serviceman or the factory for assistance.

Maintenance

None required. Unit should be tested monthly in accordance with safety
codes and local codes. If AC supply to the unit is to be disconnected for
2 months or more, the battery must be disconnected.
