COOPER LIGHTING - SURE-LITES ®
DESCRIPTION
The EEX Series Surface Mounted Edge-lit Exit, with the Tri-Mount (TM)
System, provides an attractive yet easy to install universal edge-lit exit
sign. The crystal clear wedge shape lens panel provides excellent light
distribution, exit visibility and quick snap-in installation. Long life, energy
efficient LED lamps reduce energy costs and eliminate routine lamp
maintenance. The under-five-minute installation time makes it the fastest
installed edge-lit exit on the market today.

EEX SERIES - SELF-POWERED
T E C H N I C A L DATA
Lamps
L i n e - L a t ch e d
L ow- Vo l t a ge D i s c o n n e c t
Self-Powered LED versions of the EEX Series
Exits use energy efficient, long-life LEDs to
provide uniform diffuse illumination of the exit
face. These red and green LEDs require no
maintenance. The low operating costs and zero
maintenance requirement makes LED lamps the
wisest choice for exit signs today. Emergency
illumination is provided by LED lamps.
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.
When the battery’s terminal voltage falls below
80% of the rated voltage, the low-voltage
circuitry disconnects the lighting load. The
disconnect remains in effect until normal utility
power is restored, preventing deep battery
discharge.
H o u s i n g C o n s t ru c t i o n
S o l i d - S t a te C h a rge r
Rugged, durable, injection-molded
polycarbonate materials are used throughout
the EEX Series Exits. All structural components
are designed with reinforcing ribs to add
additional rigidity and to maximize structural
integrity. These materials are impact- and
scratch-resistant, and they have been UV
stabilized to resist discoloration due to age and
ultraviolet radiation. All components are
designed to be of snap-fit
construction to facilitate installation in under 5minutes. EEX Series Exits can be wall-, ceilingor end-mounted. A rugged, snap-fit, low-profile
canopy with captive screw is included with
every exit.
Supplied with a 120/277 VAC, voltage regulated
solid-state charger, the battery is recharged
immediately upon restoration of AC current
after a power failure. The charge circuit reacts to
the condition of the battery in order to maintain
peak battery capacity and maximize battery life.
Solidstate construction recharges the battery
following a power failure in accordance with UL
924.
Tri m Pa n e l
Trim panels for self-powered versions of the
EEX Series Edgelit Exits are injection-molded
from impact-resistant clear acrylic. A choice of
red or green letter colors and clear, mirror or
white drop-in background inserts enable precise
control of the fixtures aesthetic appearance.
Universal, field-installable chevrons are
provided in bright red or deep green colors
allowing for universal configuration of the exit
sign based on the directional needs of the
application. The edge reflector further enhances
visibility. Snap-in feature reduces installation
time.
B row n o u t C i rc u i t
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 o l i d - S t a te Tra n s fe r
The EEX 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.
Te s t Sw i t ch / Powe r I n d i c a to r L i g h t
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.
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. Maintenance-free, long-life,
sealed nickel cadmium batteries carry a fifteenyear; pro-rata warranty.
