INSTALLATION
WALL MOUNT - SINGLE FACE:
1. Extend unswitched 24 hour ACsupply of rated voltage to junction box or appropriate wiring (supplied by others).
Leave at least eight (8) inches of slack wire. The circuit should not be energized at this time.
2. Removethe exit sign faceplate (Figure 2).
3. Removethe exit sign universal copy kit.
4. Knock out the appropriate mounting pattern and/or wire pass-thru hole on the exit back plate to fit the junction box or wiring
connector being used (supplied by others).
5. Bring wires through theback of the sign and mount the exit securely in place. Screw directly to junction box if possible.
6. Connect AC supply per diagram provided (Figure 5). Insulate unused wire!
CAUTION! - Failure to insulate unused wire may result in ashock hazard or unsafe condition as well as equipmentfailure.
7. Route wires and secure them in place.
8. Removeany directional chevron arrows to be indicated as requiredfrom the exit stencil.
9. Remove red fibre, peel back off double sided tape to secure red fibre.
10. Replace the exit faceplate together with red fibre.
11. Turn on theACvoltage supply.
CEILING/END MOUNT - SINGLE OR DOUBLE FACE:
1. Follow steps 1to3of Wall Mounting instructions above.
2. If double face is required then remove thebackplatecover screwandslide the backplate down and out from exit frame. Exit signs
that are specified double face will already have thesecond/rear faceplate installed.
3. On thetop and both sides of the exit there are three(3) holes for the canopy -two (2) for the mounting screws and
one (1) wirepass-thru hole. Knock out thethree appropriate canopy mounting holes for your installation (Figure 3).
4. Securethe canopy to theexit sign using the supplied 1 inch screws and washer nuts and the snap wire pass-thru hole plastic
bushing intothe wirepass-thru hole in the centreof the canopy (Figure 3).
5. Bring wires through thewirepass-thru and connect ACsupply as described in step 6 of Wall Mounting instructions
above.
6. Securethe exit tothe wall or ceiling using thesupplied 1 1/2 inch screws and nuts. Screw directly to junction box if
possible. A universalspider plate is suppliedto allow for exit sign placement adjustment or connection to a variety of electricalboxes
(Figure 4).
7. For double face exits install the second/rear faceplate.
8. Follow steps 7to 10 of Wall Mounting instructions above.
SELF-POWERED:
1. For models EA-EM, plug the battery into the circuit board per (Figure 5) self-powered sign.
