CEMXTE Remote-Capable Thermoplastic LED Exit Sign Overview
The CEMXTE remote-capable thermoplastic LED exit sign is built for commercial egress routes that need an EXIT sign plus remote-head output from one compact fixture. It combines red or green EXIT letter options, a white or black UL 94 5VA thermoplastic body, 120/277 V input, a 3.6 V Ni-Cd battery, 90-minute emergency operation, and up to 5.5 W of remote capacity for compatible low-wattage heads.
Use this CEMXTE series when vestibules, short corridor turns, elevator lobbies, or stair landings need nearby remote emergency light heads without moving to a full combo unit. Choose SDT self diagnostics for automated test support or USA-assembled variants when purchasing documents call for it. Compare Remote-Capable Exit Signs, pair with Remote Heads for Emergency Lights, or review Thermoplastic Exit Signs for non-remote alternatives.
Use the CEMXTE checks below to confirm remote-load budget, letter color, finish, diagnostics, USA assembly, 230 V/SPV needs, and AHJ requirements before ordering.

Key features
- CEMXTE remote-capable thermoplastic LED exit sign for indoor or protected damp-location commercial egress routes.
- Remote-capable output supports up to 5.5 W for compatible low-wattage remote heads near the sign.
- Red or green EXIT letter configurations let the product family match existing building standards and project documents.
- Ships as a single-face sign with field conversion support for double-face visibility where occupants approach from two directions.
- White or black impact-resistant thermoplastic body uses UL 94 5VA flame-rated material for standard commercial interiors.
- Universal 120/277 V input covers common commercial branch circuits.
- 3.6 V Ni-Cd battery provides 90-minute emergency operation with solid-state transfer and approximately 24-hour recharge.
- Bi-color status LED and push-to-test button support routine maintenance checks.
- Optional SDT self diagnostics automates monthly, semi-annual, and annual test routines.
- USA-assembled configurations are available for projects with purchasing or documentation requirements.
- EZ-snap canopy and universal knockout backplate support wall, top, or end installation without special adapters.
- Snap-out chevrons support left, right, or no-arrow egress direction marking.

Best Use Cases
Choose CEMXTE when a standard EXIT sign also needs a small remote-head output budget for nearby egress light coverage. It is commonly reviewed for vestibules, elevator lobbies, short corridor turns, stair landings, tenant improvements, schools, retail back-of-house spaces, and narrow halls.
- Use the 5.5 W remote budget for compatible low-wattage heads near the sign.
- Use a full exit emergency combo instead when the same fixture needs integral adjustable lamp heads.
- Use a wet-location or hazardous-location model when the environment calls for a different listing.
Remote Head Load Planning
The remote-capable output is the reason to choose this model over a standard thermoplastic EXIT sign. Confirm every remote head wattage before release.
- Add the rated watts for all connected remote heads and keep the total at or below 5.5 W.
- Review wire length and gauge because longer runs can increase voltage drop.
- Use the remote-head sizing guide when layout, distance, or head wattage is not yet fixed.
Variant Matrix
CEMXTE variants combine letter color, body color, SDT diagnostics, and USA assembly without changing the core fixture family.
- CEMXTERW and CEMXTERB cover red letters with white or black body color.
- CEMXTEGW and CEMXTEGB cover green letters with white or black body color.
- SDT suffixes add self diagnostics, while USA suffixes identify USA-assembled configurations.
Circuit and Charge Checks
Standard models support 120/277 V service and include a 3.6 V Ni-Cd battery for emergency operation.
- Allow the battery to complete its charge cycle before a full 90-minute discharge test.
- Use the status LED and push-to-test button for routine functional checks.
- The spec references SPV 120/230 V service; confirm availability before using that requirement in a submittal.
J-Box and Canopy Fit
The included hardware is intended to simplify common surface placements while keeping the same body style across orientations.
- EZ-snap canopy hardware supports top or end placement.
- Universal knockout backplate supports surface wall placement.
- Confirm junction-box pattern, conduit approach, sightline, and service clearance before rough-in.
Face Direction Setup
Plan the viewing approach and arrow direction before field setup so the installed sign matches the egress plan.
- Use single-face setup where the sign is viewed from one side only.
- Use double-face conversion where traffic approaches from both directions.
- Set snap-out chevrons to left, right, or no-arrow direction according to the approved path of travel.
Submittal Review
Keep the product selection tied to the spec sheet and local approval path before purchase.
- Confirm UL 924 listing, 0-40 C damp rating, face count, letter color, body color, remote-load budget, and test option.
- Verify whether SDT, USA assembly, or SPV service is required by the project documents.
- Use the linked PDF for envelope, faceplate, canopy, and wiring reference drawings.
Service Record Notes
CEMXTE is intended to stay familiar for facility teams that already maintain standard thermoplastic EXIT signs.
- Record monthly functional checks and annual duration tests according to the site maintenance plan.
- SDT models can reduce manual test friction where automated diagnostics are accepted.
- Warranty coverage is 5 years on the unit, with the Ni-Cd battery covered on a 5-year prorated basis.
Compliance notes
- Confirm UL 924 listing, damp-location suitability, remote-head wattage, letter color, face direction, branch circuit, test option, and AHJ acceptance for the project.
- The SPV 120/230 V reference should be confirmed before quote or substitution because the live product variants expose standard 120/277 V, SDT, and USA-assembled choices.
Frequently asked questions
What does remote-capable mean on CEMXTE?
It means the sign can use its internal emergency system to feed compatible external remote heads nearby, up to a combined 5.5 W load.
How much load can CEMXTE support?
The remote-head budget is 5.5 W. Add the rated watts for all connected remote heads and account for wire length and gauge before release.
Can I choose red or green EXIT text?
Yes. CEMXTE variants include red-letter and green-letter configurations with white or black thermoplastic body choices.
Can it serve one-way and two-way viewing?
Yes. The product ships for single-face use and supports field conversion to double-face visibility where occupants approach from both directions.
What does SDT add?
SDT adds self-diagnostic testing support for automated monthly, semi-annual, and annual checks with status indication.
When should I select USA assembled?
Select a USA-suffix variant when purchasing documents, project requirements, or submittal notes call for USA assembly.
Can it work on 230 V service?
The spec references an SPV 120/230 V special-service configuration. Confirm availability and listing details before substituting it for a standard 120/277 V variant.
Where should AHJ details be confirmed?
Confirm final placement, letter color, face count, arrow direction, remote-head layout, test method, and acceptance details with project documents and the local AHJ.
