What to Look for in Self-Testing Exit Sign & Light Combos

  • One controller, two functions: The self-test must exercise the EXIT legend and both heads together, logging faults by load (legend/head/remote) for faster troubleshooting.
  • Door-height coverage planning: Combos mark the exit and light the threshold; add units or remote heads to meet photometric targets in long corridors or large rooms.
  • Dual-load battery sizing: Verify capacity for 90 minutes, recharge time, and low-temperature options; if remote-capable, prefer designs that supervise remote circuits.

A self-testing exit sign & light combo uses a single controller to exercise the EXIT legend and both lamp heads together, logging faults by load so service techs can target issues quickly. During outages, one battery powers both functions for the full 90-minute requirement.

Plan for door-height coverage: combos secure the threshold, but long corridors or tall spaces often need added fixtures or supervised remotes to meet photometric targets. Confirm mounting clearances, head aim, and indicator visibility at the installed height.

💡 Tip: When in doubt, model doorway coverage first—then add units outward along the path of egress to hit targets with fewer surprises.

Self-Testing Exit Sign & Light Combos - Spec Guide

  • Unified self-test: One controller exercises the EXIT legend and both lamp heads on the monthly/annual cadence, logging faults by load (legend/head/remote) for faster troubleshooting.
  • Door-height coverage: Combos mark the exit and light the threshold; for long corridors or tall spaces, add supervised remotes—see remote-capable exit sign & light combos—to meet photometric targets.
  • Dual-load battery system: Specify Ni-Cd or lithium capacity for 90-minute operation of legend + heads; verify recharge time and low-temperature options for exterior entrances.
  • Environment & sealing: Use wet-location exit sign & light combos where moisture is present; confirm enclosure rating and corrosion resistance for the site.

FAQs About Self-Testing Exit Sign & Light Combos

If a lamp head fails, how does a self-testing exit sign & light combo report it?

The controller treats the exit sign & light combo as multiple supervised loads. A lamp-head fault is indicated even if the EXIT legend passes; the combo remains not-ready until the head is serviced.

During the 90-minute self-test, do the combo’s lamp heads run the entire time?

Yes—the full discharge powers the EXIT legend and both lamp heads for the entire 90 minutes to validate the combo’s battery capacity.

How should I plan coverage with door-height self-testing exit sign & light combos?

Exit sign & light combos mark the doorway and light the threshold. For long corridors, large rooms, or high ceilings, add additional combos or supervised remote heads to meet photometric targets along the path of egress.
