FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS Type

INTENDED USE — Ideal for applications requiring attractive, quick-installation exit signs and low energy consump-
tion. Certain airborne contaminants can diminish the integrity of acrylic and/or polycarbonate. Click
here for Acrylic-Polycarbonate Compatibility table for suitable uses.
CONSTRUCTION — Engineering-grade thermoplastic housing is impact-resistant, scratch-resistant, and corrosion-proof.
UL94V-0 flame rating. UV-stable resin resists discoloration from natural and man-made light sources.
Rugged unibody housing snaps together with no additional mechanical fasteners. Faceplate and back cover are interchangeable
on housing. Positive snap-fit tabs hold faceplate securely, yet easily removable for lamp compartment access.
Universal directional Chevron inserts are easily removed and reinserted. Uniform illumination without shadows or
hot spots. Reinforced, impact-resistant color panels. Letters 6” high with 3/4” stroke, with 100 ft. viewing distance Thermoplastic Exits
rating, based upon UL924 standards.

OPTICS — LEDs mounted on printed circuit boards. Low energy consumption – less than one watt. LED lamp
operates in normal (AC input) and emergency (DC input) modes.
The typical life of the exit LED lamp is 10 years.
ELECTRICAL — Dual voltage input capability (120/277V) and 120V through 277V for MVOLT with SD.
Low-voltage disconnect prevents excessively deep discharge that can permanently damage battery. Conveniently LED LAMPS
located test switch and LED provide visual and manual means of monitoring system.
Constant-current series charger minimizes energy consumption and provides low operating costs. Printed circuit
boards are 100% quality tested during manufacturing. Current-limiting charger circuitry protects printed circuit
boards from shorts. †

AC/LV reset (line latch) allows battery connection before AC power is applied and aids in preventing battery damage
from deep discharge. Specifications
