always be followed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
2. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
3. Use caution when handling batteries. Avoid possible shorting.
4. Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it
will not readily be subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
5. The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufac-
turer may cause an unsafe condition.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
1. Turn off unswitched AC power.
Canopy Mount
a. Remove canopy assembly from carton. Remove mounting plate
from canopy and retain securement screw.
b. Route unswitched AC circuit wires into the junction box and leave
6” of wire length.
c. Remove proper knockouts in canopy backplate for desired
mounting position.
d. Feed unswitched AC wires through large hole in canopy mount-
ing plate.
e. Make sure the securement screw is accessible (see fig.1 & 2 part

g. In order to access the knockouts of the frame, remove the 4 elec-
tronic module screw(s) holding the electronic module to the frame
(see fig.3 & 4), disconnect the lamps from terminal block and
remove the electronic module.
h. Determine which holes in the exit frame will be used for mounting
(see fig.1,2 & 5). Support frame by two blocks of wood, maximum
one inch apart. Strike knockouts with a hammer and screwdriver.
Clear holes of burrs to allow proper assembly of nipple/wire
assembly.
i. Secure canopy to the frame using the provided nipple/wire
assembly. Make sure the gasket is between the canopy and
frame, and the nuts inside the exit sign (see fig. 5).
j. Reassemble the electronic module inside the frame and do the
electrical connections inside the enclosure.
Double face: diffuser (part 10 shown in fig. 2) to be removed in
order to do the electrical connections (see page 3).
Wall Mount (Single Face Model Only)
a. Remove the backplate from the packaging. Determine the proper
knockouts to remove for mounting to a junction box (see fig.6).
b. Support area around knockouts with two blocks of wood. Strike
knockouts from the inside with a hammer and a screwdriver.
c. Remove the 4 electronic module screw(s) holding the electronic
module to the frame (see fig.3 & 4),disconnect the lamps from ter-
minal block and remove the electronic module.
d. Mount parts 11, 12, 15 & 19 to backplate, as shown in fig. 6, and
reinstall the backplate to the frame using the tamper-proof screws
(use the supplied bit).
e. Do the electrical connections inside the junction box (see page 3).
f. Attach the frame to the junction box, using the junction box sup-
plied screws.
g. Use the hook provided with in the canopy to temporarly support
the electronic module on the frame.
h. Complete electrical connections (see page 3).

2. Electrical connections: Using the sealed AC nipple/wire assembly
(3 wires), connect one end to the transformer leads, inside the enclo-
sure, and the other end, to AC line voltage inside the junction box.
Connect the white lead to neutral and the green lead to ground. Con-
nect the purple lead to AC line voltage and to appropriate transformer
lead (See fig. 7 for color code).
Optional:
For models with DC remote capacity, the sealed DC nipple/wire
assembly (2 wires) will also need to be installed. One end connects
to the AD charger terminal block, inside the enclosure, and the other
end to DC output inside the junction box. Connect the red lead to
positive, and the blue lead to the negative of the remote DC output
(See fig. 7).
For models with flasher-buzzer or fire alarm, the sealed DC nipple/
wire assembly (2 wires) will also need to be installed. One end con-
nects to the optional module terminal block, inside the enclosure, and
the other end to DC input inside the junction box. Connect the red
lead to positive, and the blue lead to the negative (See fig. 8).
3. For canopy mount: Attach the canopy backplate to the junction box
using the junction box screws. Mount the frame and canopy assem-
bly to canopy back plate by using the provided securement screw.
4. For wall mount: Reinstall the electronic module inside the frame.
5. Reinstall the diffuser and the EXIT panel (if required, remove the
appropriate chevron).
6. Install the lens by using the 4 short and 2 long tamper-proof screws.
The tamper-proof screws should be equally torqued to approxi-
mately 5 lbs-in (0.6 N-m).
7. Remove the lamps protectors.
8. Energize AC. Sign will illuminate.
Manual Testing
Operate the magnetic “test switch” by holding the provided magnet near
the AC pilot lamp, where indicated on the legende. This will initiate a one
minute test. The DC lamps will illuminate for approximately one minute,
then the unit will automatically return to stand by mode. Test can be can-
celled by holding the magnet near the test switch again.
Automatic Testing
The unit will perform an automatic self-test of 1 minute every month,
30 minutes every 6 month and a 90 minutes self-test once a year.
Automatic Diagnostics
There are five diagnostic indicators: one external and four internal. Unit
must be opened to gain access to internal indicators.
External: General alarm, “Service Required”. The LED will turn-on if any
alarm condition is detected (see fig. 9).
Internal: Battery Failure, Battery Disconnect, Charger Failure & Lamp
Failure. Steady ON if alarm condition exists (See fig. 10).
Normal operation, No fault — “Service Required” is OFF.
Faulty operation — “Service Required” is ON.

Lamps adjustment
Adjust the lamps in appropriate position. The lamp can adjusted 90
degrees horizontaly and verticaly when wall mounted. For canopy
mount, a plastic pin can be removed to increase horizontal adjustement
up to 180 degrees (See fig. 11). Lamp shouldn’t be directed on opaque
surface, closer than 3 feet.
Food processing facilities
Screw and knock-out covers (See fig. 1&2 part 2&25) are available in the
hardware kit. These covers can be installed on screws and knock-out to
avoid any food accumulation. Note: some detergent used in food pro-
cessing industry can affect durability of Polycarbonate lens.
Maintenance (All Models)
None required. If AC supply to the unit is to be disconnected for 2
months or more, the battery must be disconnected.
