PLEASE NOTE: ACCESS ABOVE CEILING IS REQUIRED
THIS UNIT IS FOR MOUNTING IN SUSPENDED TYPE CEILINGS AND OTHER TYPES OF CEILINGS WHERE
ACCESS TO ABOVE IS AVAILABLE AFTER INSTALLATION AND BUILDING FINISH IS COMPLETE. DO NOT
INSTALL THIS UNIT IN FINISHED DRYWALL OR OTHER TYPES OF CEILINGS WHERE THERE WILL BE NO
ACCESS FROM ABOVE OR BELOW TO THE PLENUM AREA.
STEP ONE: Preparing the CEILING to ACCEPT the fixture and placing fixture in the ceiling:
1) Determine the proper location for where the sign is going to be mounted. Remove cardboard template from the box
and place against the ceiling tile orarea of the ceiling where exit light is going to be installed and trace a line around
the template (Figure A). This will be the area that is going to be cut out. You may want to do the cutting on the
ground if possible
2) Cut the rectangular hole out of the ceiling area (Figure B)
3) Place entire unit DOWN THROUGH THE CUT OUT HOLE. (Figure C)
4) Seat the bar hangers in the T-Bar grid or mount them to the wood truss to secure the fixture in place. (Figure D)
5) Make adjustments to the bar hanger holder bracket (Figure E) to bring the fixture into proper ceiling height alignment
to accept the finish trim plate. This height is determined by making sure the finish plate screw holes are just slightily
above the finished ceiling (Figure E). To make the adjustments, simply loosen the screws on the bar hanger holder
bracket and adjust unit up or down to the proper position and then re-tighten the screws (Figure F)
6) Slide the silver finish plate through the EXIT PANEL and connect the two switch wires and place the LED indicator
light inside the hole. (Figure G) Screw the plate to the unit.
1. Remove the junction box cover on the top of the unit. (Figure H)
2. Place conduit connector in provided hole of J-box. (Figure J)
3. Connect the low voltage battery wires. The unit will turn on at this point. (Figure K)
4. Make the proper electrical AC connection by bringing the supply wires into the J-box and connecting them
to the proper wires. (120V BLACK for HOT, WHITE for Common) (277V use RED for HOT and WHITE for Common)
5. Replace J-box cover.
