Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CH900X meet Chicago exit sign code?

Yes. It’s UL 924 listed and fully compliant with City of Chicago requirements for letter size, housing materials, and exit sign battery backup.

Can I install the CH900X on a ceiling or wall?

Yes. The surface model includes a universal canopy for wall, ceiling, end, or pendant mounting. The recessed version includes hanger bars for wall or ceiling installs.

What are the differences between the S and R versions?

The S model is for surface mounting and uses an extruded aluminum housing. The R model is for recessed installs and uses a 20-ga steel box with aluminum trim.
