INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
NEW YORK APPROVED RECESSED EDGE-LIT LED EXIT SIGN
WITH BATTERY BACKUP
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS: When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Do not use outdoors.
2. Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
3. Use caution when servicing batteries. Battery acid can cause burns to skin and eyes. If acid is spilled on
skin or eyes, flush with fresh water and contact a physician immediately.
4. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
5. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not be subject to tampering by
unauthorized personnel.
6. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. Any modification or use of non-original components will void the warranty and product liability.
8. Do not use this equipment for other than its intended use.
9. Servicing of this equipment should be performed by qualified service personnel only.
STEP ONE: Preparing the CEILING to ACCEPT the fixture and placing fixture in the ceiling
1. Determine the proper location for where the sign is going to be mounted. Remove cardboard
template from the box and place against the ceiling tile or area of the ceiling where exit light is
going to be installed and trace a line around the template (Figure A). This will be the area that
is going to be cut out. You may want to do the cutting on the ground if possible.
2. Cut the rectangular hole out of the ceiling area (Figure B).
3. Remove trim plate and place entire unit down through the cut out hole (Figure C).
4. Seat the bar hangers in the T-Bar grid or mount them to the wood truss to secure the fixture in
place (Figure D).
5. Make adjustments to the bar hanger holder bracket (Figure F) to bring the fixture into proper
ceiling height alignment to accept the finish trim plate. This height is determined by making
sure the finish plate screw holes are just slightly above the finished ceiling (Figure E). To make
the adjustments, simply loosen the screws on the bar hanger holder bracket and adjust unit up
or down to the proper position and then re-tighten the screws (Figure F).
PLEASE NOTE
This unit is for mounting in suspended type ceilings and other types of ceilings where access to above is
available after installation and building finish is complete. Do not install this unit in finished drywall or other
types of ceilings where there will be no access from above or below to the plenum area.
