Remote Capable Exit Signs

Remote capable exit signs combine LED emergency signage with expanded egress lighting from a single battery pack. These units are engineered to power one or two remote emergency heads using internal battery capacity—offering full UL 924 and NFPA 101 compliance in a flexible, streamlined solution.

  • Remote Head Support
  • UL 924 Compliant
  • LED EXIT Display
  • 90-Minute Runtime

These exit signs are ideal for stairwells, long corridors, open-plan spaces, and irregular layouts where additional lighting heads are required but installing multiple full fixtures isn’t practical. Remote capable models simplify both wiring and long-term maintenance by centralizing power delivery.

Each unit includes a high-capacity battery designed to operate both the EXIT sign and connected remote head emergency lights for a minimum of 90 minutes. Universal mounting hardware is included for wall, ceiling, or end installation, and field-selectable chevrons allow directional flexibility.

Choose from red or green LED letters in durable thermoplastic or metal housings. Many models offer self-testing diagnostics to automate monthly and annual inspection requirements.

FAQs About Remote Capable Exit Signs

What is a remote capable exit sign?

It’s an exit sign with a built-in battery powerful enough to operate both the sign and connected remote emergency lights for at least 90 minutes during a power outage.

How many remote heads can a sign support?

Most models support one or two LED remote heads, depending on battery capacity and the wattage draw of the heads. Always review the unit’s total load rating before connecting.

Are these code compliant?

Yes. All remote capable exit signs must be UL 924 listed and meet NFPA 101 life safety requirements, including a 90-minute emergency lighting runtime.

Do I need a separate circuit for remote heads?

No. Remote heads connect to the main fixture via low-voltage wiring and draw power directly from the same internal battery—no additional circuit is needed.

Are LED models better for remote capable setups?

Yes. LED exit signs consume less power, allowing more capacity to be reserved for remote heads—making them ideal for energy-efficient emergency lighting systems.

Can I use these outdoors or in damp areas?

Many units are wet-location rated or approved for damp environments. Always verify the fixture’s NEMA or IP rating before installation.
