DESCRIPTION
The GC Series combines a clean, sleek contemporary appearance with
state-of-the-art electronics. Specifically designed for initial and retrofit
installations where a recessed unit is required to maximize aesthetics.
The unit is ideal for locations with limited wall space, and where
panoramic positioning is necessary for the ceiling mounted lampholders
to provide proper light distribution. Ideal for stores, offices, hospitals and
school corridors.

S o l i d - S t a te C h a rge r
All metal formed aluminum lampheads
available in round or cylinder styles. The die cast
metal three dimensional swivel assembly
permits approximate aiming adjustment from
80° vertical and 358° rotation. The placement is
secured with a lockable pivot mounted on a
rotating base ring.
Supplied with a 120/277 VAC, voltage regulated
solid-state charger. Immediately upon
restoration of AC current after a power failure,
the charger provides a high charge rate. The
charge circuit reacts to the condition of the
battery and alters the rate of charge in order to
maintain peak battery capacity and maximize
battery life. Solid-state construction recharges
the battery following a power failure in
accordance with UL 924.
Lamps
Designed specifically for emergency lighting
applications, the PAR 36 sealed beam type
design insures optimum glare - free light
distribution along with horizontal and vertical
adjustment by rotating the lens within the
housing.
Housing
The rugged 20-gauge die-formed cold rolled
steel housing is finished with white corrosionresistant polyester powder coat paint. Cabinet
has knockouts in side for AC/DC wiring
connections. Removable full width cover
provides easy above-ceiling access to batteries
and electronics. Unit is UL Plenum Rated and
includes a Chicago Plenum Mark (CCEA-City of
Chicago Environmental Air).
L i n e - L a t ch e d
Sure-Lites’ line-latched electronic circuitry
makes installation easy and economical. A labor
efficient AC-activated load switch prevents the
lamps from turning on during installation to a
non-energized AC circuit. Linelatching
eliminates the need for a contractor’s return to a
job site to connect the batteries when the
building’s main power is permanently turned
on.
energizes the lamps. Upon restoration of the AC
power, the emergency lamps will switch off and
the charger will automatically recharge the
battery.
L ow- Vo l t a ge D i s c o n n e c t
When the battery ’s terminal voltage falls below
80% of the rated voltage, the low-voltage
circuitry disconnects the lighting load. The
disconnect remains in effect until normal utility
power is restored, preventing deep battery
discharge.
O ve rl o a d a n d S h o rt - C i rc u i t P ro te c t i o n
The solid-state overload monitoring device in
the DC circuit disconnects the lamp load from
the battery should excessive wattage demands
be made and automatically resets when the
overload or short circuit is removed. This
overload current protective feature eliminates
the need for fuses or circuit breakers for the DC
load.
B row n o u t C i rc u i t
The brownout circuit in Sure- Lites’ units
monitors the flow of AC current to the unit and
activates the emergency lighting system when a
predetermined reduction of AC power occurs.
This dip in voltage will cause most ballasted
fixtures to extinguish causing loss of normal
lighting even though a total power failure has
not occurred.
S o l i d - S t a te Tra n s fe r
Te s t Sw i t ch / Powe r I n d i c a to r L i g h t
Conveniently located Test Switch allows for
manual verification of proper operation of the
transfer circuit and emergency lamps. The
Power Indicator Light provides visual assurance
that the AC power is on.
S e a l e d L e a d C a l c i u m B a tte r y
The fully sealed, long-life, maintenance-free
lead calcium battery is ideal for emergency
lighting applications. These recombinant cycle
batteries typically provide eight to ten years of
life and may be operated in any position.
Wa rra n t y
All Sure-Lites’ units are backed by a firm oneyear warranty against defect in material and
workmanship (excluding lamps). Maintenancefree, long-life, sealed lead calcium batteries
carry a five-year pro-rata warranty.
The unit incorporates a solidstate switching
transistor which eliminates corroded and pitted
contacts or mechanical failures associated with
relays. The switching circuit is designed to
detect a loss of AC voltage and automatically
