Wall Mount Using Mounting Brackets (Fig. 3)
Note: For optimal weatherproofing when using the mounting brackets, Barron Lighting
recommends using flexible, UL Listed for Wet Location conduit as the means to provide line
voltage to the unit. Use flexible conduit only; not for use with rigid conduit.
1. Secure the (2) mounting brackets to the back of the fixture using the (4) bracket mounting
screws (provided).
2. If using a J-box, remove the (2) rectangular gasket pieces from the sides of the back gasket and discard. Attach the
modified back gasket to the back of the fixture.
3. Follow steps 1-2 in the Wall Mount section.
4. Remove the appropriate knockouts depending on the line voltage access:
a. If using a J-box, remove one of the center knockouts from the back of the fixture. For a better seal, remove
additional knockouts to allow for screws to secure the fixture to the J-box.
b. If using flexible conduit, remove the inner frame by removing the (4) screws and set aside. Punch out the
desired knockout located in the top or side of the enclosure.
5. Using the brackets as a template, align the fixture to the mounting location and mark the drill locations on the wall.
6. Install wall anchors in the (4) marked locations.
7. Make electrical connections; see Electrical Connections section.
8. Secure the fixture to the wall using (4) screws. If using a J-box and additional knockouts were removed in Step 4a,
secure the fixture to the J-box at this time.
9. Connect the battery, if included.
10. If the inner frame was removed, resecure it to the fixture using the (4) screws from Step 4b.
11. Follow steps 8-11 in the Wall Mount section.

Self-Test/Self-Diagnostics (G2)
Operation
The purpose of this option is to provide Self-testing and Self-diagnostic capabilities to the EXIT sign. At predetermined
intervals, the EXIT sign will automatically switch into battery mode. Refer to the Self-Test Features section of this page
for timing details. The EXIT sign will also perform various Self-diagnostic tests of the unit. Visual signaling will alert
maintenance personnel to a fault of the EXIT sign electronics, battery and/or battery charger. The circuitry continuously
monitors the operating condition of the EXIT sign and battery charging circuit/battery supply voltage. Refer to the LED
Indicator section below for fault reporting details.
Self-Test Features
• The EXIT sign will automatically switch to battery mode every 30 days for a period of 30 seconds.
• The EXIT sign will automatically switch to battery mode every 180 days for a period of 30 minutes.
• The EXIT sign will automatically switch to battery mode every 365 days for a period of 90 minutes.
LED Indicator
The EXIT sign is equipped with a bi-color LED, which displays green and/or red.
• A steady green LED indicates that normal AC power is being supplied to the EXIT sign and the battery is fully charged.
• A flashing green LED indicates that the EXIT sign is undergoing a test.
• A flashing red and green LED indicates that the battery is being charged.
• A red LED indicates whenever the Self-diagnostics system has detected a fault condition. Refer to the chart below
when a red LED is displayed:
Test Switch Feature
MANUAL TEST – Placing the provided magnet near the magnetic test switch and pulling it away
will switch the EXIT sign into battery mode for 30 seconds.
Use in accordance with local building codes.
