CHX SERIES
T E C H N I C A L DATA
Lamps
B row n o u t C i rc u i t ( S e l f Powe re d O n l y )
CHX Series Exits use energy efficient, long life
LED’s to provide uniform diffuse illumination of
the exit face. These white LEDs require no
maintenance and consume less than one watt,
on average.
The brownout circuit on Sure-Lites’ exitis
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.
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. The mounting canopy is made of
cold rolled steel in matching finish. Impact
resistant, heat tempered glass lens and back
plate install in channels in the exit housing to
eliminate light leaks. Optional stainless steel
enclosure is available.
Lens
The lens provided is made of impact resistant,
heat tempered glass. Red lettering is
silkscreened on a white translucent background.
Full stroke arrows are provided as specified.
Optional photo-luminescent Lens available.

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.
S o l i d S t a te Tra n s fe r ( S e l f Powe re d O n l y )
The LPX Series 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.
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

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 -20 to 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.
Wa rra n t y
All Sure-Lites’ products are backed by a firm
one-year warranty against defects in material
and workmanship. Maintenance-free, long-life,
sealed nickel cadmium batteries carry a fifteenyear pro-rata warranty.
L ow Vo l t a ge D i s c o n n e c t ( S e l f Powe re d
Only)
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.
Te s t Sw i t ch / Powe r I n d i c a to r L i g h t ( S e l f
Powe re d O n l y )
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.
