the desired location on the enclosure using (2) sets
of 6-32 screws, washers, and nuts. For flag mounting,
secure the canopy by aligning the (4) holes with the
screw bosses within the housing, then fasten using
(4) 6-32 self-tapping screws (not provided).
5. Set the DIP switch on the PCB to the desired voltage.
Note: Units equipped with the Self-test/Self-diagnostics
option do not require DIP switch adjustment.
6. Connect the battery to the PCB. Red goes to positive
(+) and black goes to negative (-) (Fig. 2).

Pendant Mount
1. Secure the mounting bracket to the
mounting surface using (2) screws
(not provided).
2. Thread a lock nut on one end of the
extension rod. Tighten the lock nut so it is
not able to spin freely.
3. Guide the end of the extension rod with
the lock nut through the opening in the
mounting bracket so that the extension rod
is supported by the mounting bracket and
hangs freely. Ensure that the lock nut is
centered in the mounting bracket and lies
flat. Incorrect placement of the lock nut may
result in failure.
4. Guide the pendant canopy onto the
extension rod in the orientation shown.
Once in place at the top of the extension
rod, tighten the set screw of the pendant
canopy to secure.
5. Thread a lock nut on the bottom end of the
extension rod. Tighten the lock nut so it is
not able to spin freely.
6. Punch out the center knockout of the J-box and thread it onto
the extension rod as shown. Thread the washer onto the
extension rod and secure with a lock nut.
7. Follow the steps outlined in the Surface Ceiling, Surface Wall,
or Flag Mount section to finish installation. Use the steps for
surface ceiling mounting.

Recessed Ceiling or Recessed Wall Mount
Note: If the “Rough-in Kit” for the 900E Series has been
preinstalled, proceed to step 6 below.
1. Cut a 3" x 15" opening in the ceiling or wall. Ensure that
the opening is less than the trimplate dimensions of
3 7/8” x 15 7/8”.
2. Remove the trim plate from the recessed housing by
loosening the (2) flathead screws on either end of the
trim plate and set aside.
3. Remove the homeplate assembly from the recessed
housing by loosening the (2) 6-32 screws and set aside
(Fig. 1).
4. Connect the battery to the PCB. Red goes to positive (+)
and black goes to negative (-).
5. For ceiling mounting, first punch out the knockout on top
of the recessed housing, then insert the plastic grommet
into the hole. Install the provided J-box on top of the
recessed housing by inserting the tab of the J-box into
the bridge lance and securing with a 6-32 x 1/4” screw
(provided). Attach the hanger bars to the sides of the
recessed housing using 6-32 screws and wing nuts.
6. Install the recessed assembly:
a. If ceiling mounting, position the recessed assembly
between joists, making sure the hanger bars are
positioned correctly. Use the adjusting slots to guide
the hanger bars. The bottom of the recessed housing
should be level with the bottom of the joist. Secure by
hammering in the nail-in tabs. For T-bar installation,
hang the ends of the hanger bars over the vertical
part of the T-bar, as shown (Fig. 2).
b. If wall mounting, position the recessed assembly
inside the wall. Secure the recessed assembly using
L-brackets, screws, and anchors (not provided)
(Fig. 3).
7. Route the wires through the knockout hole and make
electrical connections; see Electrical Connections
section.
8. Secure the homeplate assembly within the recessed
housing using the (2) 6-32 screws from before.

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 28 days for a period of 5 minutes.
• The EXIT sign will automatically switch to battery mode every 6 months for a period of 90 minutes.
LED Indicator
• The red “UNIT ALERT” LED indicates whenever the Self-diagnostics system has detected a fault condition.
Refer to the chart below when the red “UNIT ALERT” LED is blinking:
• The yellow “STEADY STATE” LED indicates that the charger is turned off.
• The red “CHRG ON” LED indicates that the battery is under full charge.
Note: The “STEADY STATE” and “CHRG ON” LEDs will toggle faster with a discharged battery. A fully charged battery
will cause the yellow “STEADY STATE” LED to be illuminated longer than the red “CHRG ON” LED.
• The green “AC ON” LED indicates that normal AC power is being supplied to the EXIT sign.
Test Button Features
MANUAL TEST – Pressing the test button will switch the unit into battery mode for a set amount of time. The desired
length of the test is determined by the number of times the test button is pressed.
• Pressing the test button once will switch the unit into battery mode for a period of 2 seconds.
• Pressing the test button twice within 2 seconds will switch the unit into battery mode for a period of 15 minutes.
Pressing the test button once while the unit is MANUAL TEST mode will cancel the manual test and return the unit to
normal AC power.
RESET – Pressing the test button 3 times will reset the red “UNIT ALERT” LED. If multiple faults are present, it may be
necessary to repeat this procedure for each remaining fault indicated by the “UNIT ALERT” LED.
Use in accordance with local building codes.
