For Recessed Installation
1. Turn off power supply.
2. Determine if the fixture will be mounted in the
ceiling or the wall.
3. Remove the screws securing the trim plate to the
housing (See Figure 1). Place the trim assembly
and screws aside and save them for later
installation. It is not necessary to disconnect the
wire harness connecting the charger driver circuit
board to the LED board. Instead, the trim plate
can be hung from the sliding plastic installation
hook (see figure 2).

4. Determine where supply wires will be brought into the fixture. There are knockouts in each endcap on the side
of the housing, and a hole between the hanger bars. If the hole between the hanger bars is to be used, remove
the two screws holding the cover plate and the hanger bars, discard the plate, and then replace the screws and
hanger bars.
5. Install the housing using the hanger bars. The hanger bars can be extended up to 25.5”, and are designed to be
nailed or screwed to studs, clipped onto the T-grid of a suspended ceiling, or be suspended from wires. If the
hanger bars need to be configured perpendicular to the fixture, the hanger bar brackets can be attached at the
ends of the fixture using the screws provided (See Figure 3).
6. Adjust the fixture to accommodate the thickness of drywall, plaster, or ceiling tile to be used. The notches and
markings on the hanger bar holders correspond to the material thickness (See Figure 4).
7. Connect power supply and ground in accordance with NEC and local codes. Wire connections are as follows:
Ground to Green Lead, Neutral to White Lead, 277V line to Orange Lead (if used), 120V line to Black Lead (if used).
Cap unused Line Lead. (See Schematic)
8. Excess wire length can be held in place in the wire trap (See Figure 5).
9. If the fixture is to be wall mounted, first, loosen the set screw on
the back of the pivot housing. Then remove the locking clip by
sliding it to the end of the pivot housing (See Figure 6). Rotate
the pivot housing 90 degrees, and then replace the locking clip.
Tighten the set screw.
10. Remove the trim assembly from the installation hook. Slide the
trim assembly through the trim cover so that it can be installed
between the trim assembly and the ceiling or wall.
11. Replace the screws holding the trim assembly to the housing.
12. Lens is provided in a separate box. Apply chevrons and
background as needed. Snap lens into place.
NOTE: If using the lens with the default transparent background
(instead of the provided white or mirror backgrounds) it must be
installed only where there is adequate color contrast between the
sign legend and the interior wall finish behind the sign, to provide
for sufficient visibility.
13. Turn on power to fixture. Remove EZ Key battery disconnect.
For Surface Installation:
1. Turn off power supply.
2. Remove the two screws securing the hanger bar brackets and hanger bars. Remove the hanger bar assemblies.
3. Determine if the fixture will be mounted on the ceiling, wall, or end mounted.

4. Remove the screws securing the trim plate to the housing (See
Figure 1). Place the trim assembly and screws aside and save
them for later installation. It is not necessary to disconnect the
wire harness connecting the charger driver circuit board to the LED
board. Instead, the trim plate can be hung from the sliding plastic
installation hook (See Figure 2).
Secure the canopy to the junction box using the adapter plate and
screws provided (See Figure 7/8). The adapter plate is designed
to be connected to a NEMA standard 3.5” round, 4” round, 3.5”
octagon,4” octagon, or handy (single gang) box. However, it is
possible to connect the adapter plate to other electrical boxes with
some modification.
5. Connect power supply and ground in accordance with NEC and local
codes. Wire connections are as follows: Ground to Green Lead,
Neutral to White Lead, 277V line to Orange Lead (if used), 120V line
to Black Lead (if used). Cap unused Line Lead. (See Schematic)
6. Excess wire length can be held in place in the wire trap (See Figure
5).

Usage Instructions for the Atlite Eagle Eye Self Diagnostics
The AtLite Eagle Eye Self Diagnostics is continuously monitoring your emergency fixture, and will signal any failure
through the 3 color indicator LED.
Initial Operation:
When the unit is first powered up, it will go into a 24 hour fast charge, indicated by the indicator LED pulsing green.
Once the unit has fully charged, it will perform a self calibration, after which the LED will change to steady green,
indicating the unit is fully charged and float charging the battery to maintain readiness.
Automatic Testing:
The unit will perform a battery capacity, lamp/LED, and charge circuit test every 30 days for 30 seconds. During this
time, the indicator LED will change to a steady yellow. It will perform a full battery capacity (90 minute) test once per
year. During this time, the indicator LED will change to a blinking yellow.
