COOPER LIGHTING - SURE-LITES ®
DESCRIPTION
The LPX Series LED Exit with Heads is an economical, yet attractive,
alternative to metal exits. Its contemporary round corner styling,
designer white finish, and consistent family appearance enables it to
blend with any decor. With an under 5-minute installation time, this is the
fastest installed exit on the market today. All components resist
discoloration due to age and ultraviolet radiation. Reinforcing ribs,
internal molded wireways and snap-fit construction are other key
features of the LPX Series Exit with Heads. The LPX Series Exit with
Heads is available in universal configurations and have universal
mounting capability.

The LPX Series Exits with Heads use energy
efficient, longlife red and green LED’s to provide
uniform diffuse illumination of the exit face. The
low operating costs and zero maintenance
requirement makes LED lamps the wisest choice
for exit signs today. Emergency exit illumination
is provided by LED lamps and the heads employ
6V, 5.4W DC incandescent wedge base lamps.
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. Line-latching
eliminates the need for a contractor’s return to a
job site to connect the batteries when the
building’s main power is turned on.
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.
H o u s i n g C o n s t ru c t i o n
S o l i d - S t a te C h a rge r
Rugged, durable, injection molded
polycarbonate materials are used throughout
the LPX Series Exits with Heads. All structural
components are designed with reinforcing ribs
to add additional rigidity and to maximize
structural integrity. These materials are impact
and scratch resistant, and they have been UV
stabilized to resist discoloration due to age and
ultraviolet radiation. All components are
designed to be of snap-fit construction - no
mechanical fasteners - to facilitate installation in
under 5- minutes. Any components required for
installation (wirenuts, wire leads, universal
metal J-box bracket, etc.) are all included with
each exit. The universal design of the LPX Series
Exits with Heads enables universal exits to be
configured as single or double face in the field.
The LPX Series Exits with Heads can be wall,
ceiling, or end mounted; a rugged, snap-fit, low
profile canopy with captive screws is included
with every exit for ceiling and end mounting
applications.
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 regulates the charging process 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.

Lens
Lenses for the LPX Series Exits with Heads are
made from durable impact resistant
polycarbonate. All exit faces are designed with
full 3/4” stroke snap-out or snap-in chevron
directional indicators to insure maximum
visibility and compliance with the latest codes.

D i s c o n n e c t ( S e l f Powe re d O n l y )
Disconnect (Self Powered Only) Patented
technology that allows installers to externally
control the battery connection. Better than line
latching, allows installers to choose when the
battery is connected so that it stays fresh longer.
Allows battery to be disconnected after
installation but before building is occupied,
enabling emergency circuit to be shut down for
power savings.
The self-diagnostic unit will automatically
perform all tests required by UL924, and NFPA
101. The system indicates the status of the exit at
all times using the LED indicator near the test
switch on the side of the unit. A 90 minute
battery power (emergency mode) simulation
test will occur randomly once every 12 months.
A 30 second battery power simulation test will
occur every 30 days.
B row n o u t C i rc u i t
S e a l e d L e a d C a l c i u m B a tte r y
The brownout circuit on Sure- Lites’ exits
monitors the flow of AC current to the exit 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.
The fully-sealed, long-life, maintenance-free
lead calcium battery is ideal for emergency
lighting applications. These recombinant cycle
batteries typically provide 8 to 10 years of life
and may be operated in any position.
S e a l e d N i cke l C a d m i u m B a tte r y ( S e l f
Powe re d O n l y )
The LPX Series Exits with Heads incorporates
solid-state switching 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 energizes the lamps using DC
power. Upon restoration of AC power, the DC
power will be disconnected and the charger will
automatically recharge the battery.
Sure-Lites sealed nickel cadmium batteries are
maintenance-free with a life expectancy of 15
years. The sealed rechargeable nickel cadmium
battery offers high discharge rates and stable
performance over a wide range of
temperatures, from 0-40° C. The specially
designed re-sealable vent automatically controls
cell pressure, assuring safety and reliability. This
battery is best suited for harsh ambient
temperatures because the electrolyte is not
active in the electrochemical process.
L ow- Vo l t a ge D i s c o n n e c t
Wa rra n t y
When the battery’s terminal voltage falls, the
low-voltage circuitry disconnects the lighting
load. The disconnect remains in effect until
normal utility power is restored, preventing
deep battery discharge.
All Sure-Lites’ products are backed by a firm
one-year warranty against defects in material
and workmanship. Maintenance-free, long-life,
sealed lead calcium batteries carry a five-year
pro-rata warranty. Nickel Cadmium batteries
carry a 15-year warranty.

A test switch located on the side of the exit
permits the activation of the emergency circuit
for a complete operational systems check. The
Power Indicator Light provides visual assurance
that the AC power is on.
