1. Remove EXIT stencil from housing, set aside.
2. Place screws (provided) in holes on the canopy.
3. Remove the desired mounting hole plug located on theframe of
the sign. For ceiling mount, hole plug will be located on the top
of the housing. For wall mount, hole plug will be located on the
side of the housing.
4. Place canopy tab through the mounting hole of the housing until
the flat portion of the canopy is touching the housing frame. Lock
the canopy into place by sliding the canopy, without turning,
toward smaller end of the mounting hole until the tab is fully
engaged and locked into place. Once canopy is in the locked
position there will not be any side-to-side movement of the canopy.
5. Route EXIT input wires through canopy and through metal
mounting plate.
6. Make wiring connection. For 120V, use black and white wires. And
for 277V, use red and white wires. WARNING: Properly insulate the
unused lead with a wire nut (provided) or other approved means.
7. Push wire connections into the J-Box. Secure mounting plate to
junction box (hardware not included).
