CONSTRUCTION
Housing
Available in a powder coated white, black or brushed aluminum finish.
Guardian Self-Test/Self-Diagnostics (Option: G2)
The Guardian circuit continuously monitors the operating condition of the AC
power, battery supply voltage, emergency lamp continuity and charging circuit.
Surface Mounting
Engineering grade aluminum extrusion with mounting canopy
The purpose of this option is to provide visual signaling in response to a fault at the
EXIT sign battery and/or battery charger. If a failure is detected, visual status will
occur immediately via the CHARGER LED and/or the BATTERY FAULT LED. The
LEDs will stay illuminated until the fault is corrected.
Recessed Mounting
Extruded aluminum housing supplied with galvanized steel adjustable bar hanger
assembly.
Panels
Constructed of high quality, optically true, clear acrylic with beveled lettering for
maximum light output. Double face panels are supplied with a mirror insert. Units
are supplied with press-on directional arrows for placement in all applications.
Stencil letters are 8” high with 1” stroke, with minimum of 100 ft viewing distance
rating as required by UL924 standard.
ILLUMINATION
Illumination of the 900 Series is accomplished utilizing high-intensity, long-life red
LEDs. LEDs provide excellent illumination while maximizing energy efficiency. As
a maintenance-free solution, LEDs provide up to 100,000 hours of use without
failure.
ELECTRICAL
Input
Dual-voltage input 120 or 277VAC at 60Hz.
Sealed Lead Acid Battery – SLA (With Battery Only)
Exitronix sealed lead acid batteries are maintenance-free with a life expectancy
of 5 years. Sealed lead acid batteries provide a relatively large power-to-weight
ratio making them ideal for emergency applications. Lead acid batteries are
constructed of a series of plates stacked with separators designed to optimize the
efficiency and prolong the life of the battery. Lead acid batteries perform optimally
in temperatures ranging from 59°F to 104°F (15°C to 40°C).
Sealed Nickel Cadmium Battery – NiCad (Option: NC)
Exitronix sealed NiCad batteries are maintenance-free with a life expectancy of 15
years. NiCad batteries offer high discharge rates and continue to perform in a vast
temperature range from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). NiCad technology provides
long lasting, safe and reliable performance by utilizing the jelly-roll design and
allows a NiCad cell to deliver a much higher maximum current than an equivalent
size alternative battery. As a relatively larger area of the electrode is in contact
with the active material in each cell, the internal resistance for an equivalent sized
NiCad cell is lower which increases the maximum current that can be delivered.
Sealed Nickel-metal Hydride - NiMH (With G2 option only)
Exitronix NiMH batteries are maintenance-free with a life expectancy of 15 years.
NiMH batteries perform optimally in temperatures ranging from 32°F to 104°F (0°C
to 40°C).
Emergency
The 900 Series exit will operate for a minimum of 90 minutes during a loss of power
with a 24 hour maximum recharge time for the battery.
Brownout Circuit
The brownout circuit monitors the flow of AC current to the unit and triggers the
emergency lighting system once a set reduction of AC power occurs. This dip in the
voltage will cause many fixtures to extinguish causing loss of normal lighting even
though a total power failure has not occurred.
The Guardian circuit also monitors the transfer circuit as well as performing
automatic code compliance testing. The Guardian circuit will perform a 30 second
discharge and self-test every 28-30 days. A 90 minute discharge and self-test is
performed every 6 months.
Flasher (Option: FL)
When normal power is lost and the emergency unit goes into back up power mode,
this unit will flash on and off – providing a highly visual signal as to emergency
status.
Audible Alarm (Option: BZ)
When normal power is lost and the emergency unit goes into back up power mode,
this unit will buzz – providing a highly audible signal as to emergency status.
Flasher and Audible Alarm (Option: FB)
When normal power is lost and the emergency unit goes into back up power mode,
this unit will flash on and off while buzzing – providing a highly visual and audible
signal as to emergency status.
Fire Alarm Interface (Option: A1 or A2)
Our fire alarm interface option ties into the building’s fire alarm system allowing for
exits and emergency units to be triggered prior to loss of power.
A1: Fire alarm interface with flashing
A2: Fire alarm interface with flashing and audible alarm
Two-Circuit Operation (Option: 2CI1, 2CI7 or 2CI17)
Two circuit operation features for emergency lighting allows the dual input of power
sources for units less battery (AC only).
The purpose of this feature is to provide the compatibility of our emergency units
in applications where inverters or alternate back up power sources are utilized.
Custom and Specialty Legends (Option: SS)
Exitronix offers a variety of standard specialty signs designed to provide directional
or safety information in applications where clear and accurate delivery of
information is required.
Examples of specialty legends include:
• “X-RAY IN USE” • “ON THE AIR”
• Restroom Signage
• “DO NOT ENTER”
• “NO SMOKING”
• “OCCUPIED”
• "AREA OF RESCUE ASSISTANCE" with ADA Symbol on Left or Right
Custom legends are also available - please call factory for details with questions.
CONFORMANCE TO CODES AND STANDARDS
The 900 Series is ETL listed and meets or exceeds the following: UL 924, NEC
requirements and NFPA 101.
DIMENSIONS
Low Voltage Disconnect
When the battery’s terminal voltage falls below predetermined levels, the lowvoltage circuit disconnects the emergency lighting load. The disconnect remains
in effect until normal power is restored, preventing deep battery discharge and
improving the life of the battery. The disconnect will also automatically reconnect
the load circuit once the battery voltage returns to a normal value after charging.
Test Button
The test button is easy to locate and allows for manual verification of proper
operation of the transfer circuit and emergency lamps.
INSTALLATION
Installs in minutes with easy-to read instructions and detailed diagrams. No special
hardware or tools necessary. Internally housed components and battery.
Damp Location Rated (Option: DR)
Damp location rating ensures the fixture is designed to operate safely in outdoor
locations that are protected from the direct elements. Damp location rated fixtures
may be installed indoors. Products with damp location ratings are not designed
to withstand constant or significant moisture or direct contact with water or steam.
Made in the USA (Standard)
