1
Preparing the sign for mounting
□ Press in the two sets of tabs at the top and the two sets of tabs at the bottom
of the exit sign housing (A) to release the front exit sign faceplate (B).
□ Remove the cardboard packing and the hardware packet containing the
mounting bracket (AA), mounting canopy (BB), wire connectors (CC), and
electrical box screws (DD).
□ Gently detach the red or green plastic overlay from the exit sign faceplate (B).
□ Pop out one of the directional arrows from the exit sign
faceplate (B), based on the mounting location.
□ Reattach the red or green plastic overlay to the exit sign
faceplate (B).
□ Press in the two sets of tabs at the top and the two sets of tabs at the bottom
of the exit sign housing (A) to release the back cover.
□ Align the back cover mounting template with the electrical box to determine
which knockouts to remove for mounting.
□ Drill out the required knockouts with a power drill.

Mounting the exit sign housing to the electrical box
□ Feed the wires from the electrical box through the knock out in the back cover of the exit sign housing (A).
□ Align the openings in the back cover of the exit sign housing (A) with the screw holes in the electrical box.
□ Insert the electrical screws (DD) through the openings in the back of the exit sign housing (A) and into the screw holes in the
electrical box.

Making the electrical connections
If wiring to a 277v AC circuit:
□ Connect the red wire from the exit sign housing (A) to the
hot wire from the electrical box.
□ Connect the white wire from the exit sign housing (A) to the
neutral wire from the electrical box.
□ Cover the wire connections using the wire connectors (CC).
□ Wrap the wire connectors (CC) with electrical tape for a
more secure connection.
□ Cap the unused black wire from the exit sign housing (A) with a wire connector (CC) and electrical tape.
If wiring to a 120v AC circuit:
□ Connect the black wire from the exit sign housing (A) to the hot wire from the electrical box.
□ Connect the white wire from the exit sign housing (A) to the neutral wire from the electrical box.
□ Cover the wire connections using the wire connectors (CC).
□ Wrap the wire connectors (CC) with electrical tape for a more secure connection.
□ Cap the unused red wire from the exit sign housing (A) with a wire connector (CC) and electrical tape.
To connect the battery back-up:
□ Plug the connector on the end of the red and black wires coming from blue battery pack into the connector near the end of the
PC board mounted in the bottom of the exit sign housing (A).

Testing the battery back-up

□ Push the test button on the side of the exit sign housing (A) after charging the battery for 24 hours.
□ The red AC indicator on the side of the exit sign housing (A) should turn off.
□ When the test button is released, the red AC indicator on the side of the
exit sign housing (A) should illuminate again.
noTiCe: The battery supplied with the exit sign requires no maintenance. However, NEC
and NFPA code regulations require that routine tests be performed. Once every month, the
battery back-up needs to be tested by holding in the test switch for the duration of 30 seconds.
Once every 12 months, a full 90 minute test (per UL requirements) needs to be performed by
disconnecting power to the sign and leaving it in emergency mode. The LEDs should remain on
for a minimum of 90 minutes.
noTe: The battery supplied in this exit sign has a life expectancy of 5 years when used in a normal ambient temperature of 72°F.
