IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE OBSERVED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use outdoors.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
The use of accessory equipment not recommended by Sure-Lites may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.
BEFORE INSTALLING, DETERMINE CHEVRON POSITION REQUIREMENTS
1. Turn in four Torx® screws, lift exit door from backplate and carefully remove the LED lamp module by prying up the three retainer clips.
2. Remove the colored lens sheet.
3. Place the exit door face down over wood blocks and punch out the desired chevron(s), taking care to protect the door face finish..
4. Reinstall the colored lens sheet and LED module.
5. Tap the retainer clips back into place.
NOTE: Do not remove protective film from the face or back(insulator) of the LED module. Under normal conditions, the LED module is a lifetime
unit and does not require replacement. If necessary, replacement LED modules are available from the factory.
6. Protective plastic film should be removed from the face of the exit door.
INSTALLATION
Figure 1
Step 1. Turn off any power supply that may affect this unit during installation.
Step 2. Determine the method of mounting to be used. This unit can be mounted to a pre-installed junction box or
directly to a wall.
Step 3. Determine the wire size to be used to connect the remote unit to the main unit from the following chart:
Wire Size
Max. Distance in Feet
RED LED
GREEN LED
#14
112
84
#12
178
133
#10
283
212
Step 4. Remote circuit wiring must run from the master exit to the remote exit sign. Refer to local codes for proper installation.
Step 5. If remote exit is being added to an existing master exit, remove vandal shield (if included) and exit door by turning in
the four Torx® screws. Hold bottom edge of exit door. Swing top edge out until exit door grips
MASTER EXIT
backplate and no longer moves forward. Remove the wirenuts connecting the LED module to
the L1 lead wires. Remove backplate.
Step 6. Thread remote circuit wiring into master exit housing. A knockout in the
housing may be removed to accomodate the remote circuit wiring.
Step 7. Remove the pre-stripped insulation from the L2 lead wires. Wirenut (included) the L2 lead wires to
the remote circuit wiring in the master exit, making sure to match the lead wire colors.

(OPTION)
Step 8. If the remote exit is being mounted directly to a wall, go to Step 10. If the remote exit is
being mounted to a junction box, thread the remote circuit wiring through the center of the
backplate. Mount the backplate to the junction box with two screws (included).

NUT
Step 9. (Option for junction box mounting only) For applications where excessive abuse may be
encountered, drive #10 (recommended) securing hardware (supplied by installer) into
wall through the holes at each corner of the backplate. Go to Step 11.
Step 10. If the remote exit is being mounted directly to a wall, thread the remote circuit wiring
through the center of the backplate. Drive #10 (recommended) securing hardware
(supplied by installer) into the wall through the holes at each corner of the backplate.
Step 11. Place exit door onto backplate. Hold bottom edge of exit door. Swing top edge out until exit door
grips backplate and no longer moves forward. (Figure 1)

Step 12. Remove the pre-stripped insulation from the remote exit LED module leads. Slide the plastic hole bushing (included) on the leads with the
shoulder toward the LED module. Wirenut (included) the remote circuit wiring to the LED module leads, making sure to match the lead wire
colors.
Step 13. Thread the excess lead wire and wire nut connections through the center of the backplate and push the plastic hole bushing securely into the
backplate hole. Wirenut connections must be on the backplate side away from the LED module. Secure the exit door and vandal shield
(If included) to the backplate by turning out the four Torx® screws.
Step 14. In the master exit housing, connect the L2 lead wires to the L2 connection on the printed circuit board assembly.
Step 15. Thread the L1 lead wires from the printed circuit board in the master exit housing through the center of the backplate. Mount the backplate to
the housing. NOTE: On self-powered exits only, check alignment of test switch with exit door before securing backplate to the housing.
Step 16. Place exit door onto backplate. Hold bottom edge of exit door. Swing top edge out until exit door grips backplate and no longer moves
forward. (Figure 1)
Step 17. Remove the pre-stripped insulation from the LED module leads. Slide the plastic hole bushing (included) on the leads with the shoulder toward
the LED module. Wirenut L1 lead wires to LED module lead wires, making sure to match the lead wire colors.
Step 18. Thread excess lead wires and wire nut
connections through the center of the
backplate push the plastic hole bushing
securely into the backplate hole. Wirenut
connections must be in housing. Secure exit
door and vandal shield (if included) to backplate
by turning out the four Torx® screws.

Step 19. Energize the AC supply. Lamps (LED Modules)
of the master and remote exits will illuminate. If
the master exit does not illuminate, check the
L1 lead wire connection from the printed circuit
board in the master exit housing, to the master
exit LED Module. If the remote exit does not
illuminate, check the L2 lead wire
connection from the printed circuit board in
the master exit housing, to the remote exit
LED Module. Insure that the test light is on.
Activate the test switch to confirm that the
battery system powers the Led lamp
modules. The battery must be charged for
a period of 24 hours prior to testing.
