Self-Powered versions of the
CAX Series Exits with LED Lite
Stix™ screw-in LED lamps are
supplied with two 1 watt long
life T6-1/2 lamps. Emergency
illumination is provided by two
6V, 3.6W DC lamps.
Colored diffusing lenses for
CAX Series Exits with LED Lite
Stix™ screw-in LED Lamps are
constructed of durable
polycarbonate based materials.
Stencil faces are supplied in
brushed aluminum, white, black
or bronze finishes with NFPA
compliant knockout chevrons.
Housing Construction
Die cast aluminum with brushed
aluminum face and black trim
standard. Optional finishes
include white, black and bronze.
NFPA 101 compliant knockout
chevrons are molded in for easy
conversion to directional sign.
Universal pattern knockouts are
molded into back plate for direct
mounting to junction box.
Canopy
Die cast aluminum alloy canopy
with electronics package is
included for ceiling, back or
end mounting.
Line-Latched
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.
Solid-State Charger
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.
Overload and Short
Circuit Protection
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.
Sealed Lead Calcium Battery
The fully sealed, long life,
maintenance free lead calcium
battery is ideal for emergency
lighting applications. These
batteries typically provide 8 to
10 years of life and may be
operated in any position.
Sealed Nickel
Cadmium Battery
The brownout circuit on SureLites’ 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.
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. The specially
designed resealable 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.
S o l i d - S t a t e Tr a n s f e r
Warranty
The Pinnacle Exit 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.
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-rated
warranty. Sealed
nickel cadmium batteries carry
a fifteen-year pro-rated
warranty.
