Self-Powered exits are offered with a choice of
two 20W T6 1/2 incandescent lamps, two 5W
F5TT compact fluorescent lamps or white LEDs.
Two 6V, 3.6W DC lamps are provided for
emergency mode operation with incandescent
and fluorescent exits. The LEDs operate in
emergency mode for LED exits. Double head
units also have two 6V, 12W DC halogen bi-pin
lamps in metal heads with die cast swivels.
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.
These exits incorporate 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 energize the
lamps. Upon restoration of AC power, the
emergency lamps will switch off and the charger
will automatically recharge the battery.
S o l i d - S t a te C h a rge r
Te s t Sw i t ch / Powe r I n d i c a to r L i g h t
Supplied with a 120/277 VAC, voltage regulated
solid-state charger. Immediately upon
restoration of AC current after a power failiure,
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.
Conveniently located combination Test
Switch/Power Indicator Light allows for manual
verification of proper operation of the transfer
circuit and emergency lamps.
H o u s i n g C o n s t ru c t i o n
Exit housing is constructed of durable 20-gauge
cold rolled steel with corrosion resistant
polyester powder coat paint finish. All exits can
be mounted and wired through knockouts
located on the top and side. Surface mount back
panel has knockouts for direct mounting to
junction box. Integral louvered downlight is
standard. The mounting canopy is made of cold
rolled steel in matching finisih. Impact resistant,
heat tempered glass lens and back plate install
in channels in the exit housing to eliminate light
leaks.
Heads
All metal formed aluminum lampheads. 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.
The lens provided is made of impact resistant,
heat tempered glass. Red lettering is silkscreened on a white phosphorescent
background. Full sroke arrows are provided as
specified.
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.
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.

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.
S e a l e d N i cke l C a d m i u m B a tte r y
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.
Wa rra n t y
All Sure-Lites products are backed by a firm
one-year warranty against defects in material
and workmanship (excluding lamps).
Maintenance-free, long-life, sealed lead calcium
batteries carry a five-year pro-rata warranty and
sealed nickel cadmium batteries carry a 15-year
pro-rata warranty.
