Beacon Exit Device Installation and Wiring Instructions

SECTION I: OVERVIEW

1. Description

Part of the ASSA ABLOY LiteGuide family of products, the Beacon exit device provides both audible and visible alerts to enhance the visibility of exit locations in dark or smoke-ﬁlled passages and is intended as a supplement to existing codes for emergency egress lighting and direction.

Connected to the building’s alarm system, an activated Beacon emits pulsing light followed by an audible message declaring “Exit located here” in single or multiple languages. A highly visible green laser light cone combined with the pulsing LEDs draws people directly to the exit.

3. Electrical Speciﬁcations

• Accepts alarm signal from either dry contact relay or 24VDC from the Notiﬁcation Appliance Circuit (NAC) of a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

• Low current draw 30mA @ 24VDC in Standby Mode, 900mA max @24VDC in Alarm Mode ensures long operation time on back-up batteries. Power supply required; 24VDC, 1.0 amp, ﬁltered and regulated.

• Test mode and diagnostic trouble reporting for ease of installation and periodic functional checks

• Customizable functionality through on-board adjustment of dip switch and NAC/CC slide switch settings

• Centralized control from ﬁre alarm control panel (FACP) with silence and reset commands

• AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) needs to authorize setup

Caution:

1. Disconnect all input power before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

2. Installer must be a trained, qualiﬁed service person.

3. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.
