Low-Profile Edge-Lit LED Exit Sign

Low-Profile Edge-Lit LED Exit Sign — Satin Aluminum Frame, Red/Green Legend, 90-min Ni-Cd, 120/277 V, Universal Mount — Features & Specs

The ELXTEU edge-lit LED exit sign delivers a slim, modern profile with uniform, glare-controlled visibility for life-safety egress. A satin-aluminum frame (optional white or black) surrounds a crystal-clear acrylic panel whose LED legend is field-selectable in red or green. EM versions include a 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery for 90-minute backup, while universal mounting hardware streamlines installation on ceilings, walls, or end-mount locations.

Key Features

• UL 924 listed exit sign; damp-location rated (0–50 °C / 32–122 °F).
• Clear, edge-lit acrylic panel provides uniform, low-glare EXIT visibility that preserves open, architectural sightlines.
• Field-selectable LED legend colors: red or green (set at install to match building standard).
• EM models: 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery with 90-minute backup; typical ~24-hour recharge after a full discharge test.
• Universal 120/277 V input; charge-status LED & push-to-test; solid-state transfer and two-rate charging for reliability.
• Universal mounting: canopy for top (ceiling) or end (flag) mounting; rear knockouts for wall mounting.
• Convertible single / double-face with field-applied chevrons; mirrored insert included for double-face applications.
• Satin-aluminum frame standard; optional white or black finishes; panel choices: clear, mirrored, or white acrylic to suit ambient reflectance and design intent.
• Options: SDT self-diagnostics; 2C-120 / 2C-277 dual-circuit AC; TP tamper-resistant hardware; custom legends/wording.
• Compliance and efficiency: NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA; CEC Title 20 compliant.

Applications & Design Notes

Choose ELXTEU where a thin, refined aesthetic is desired—lobbies, hospitality corridors, amenity spaces, galleries, and modern office build-outs. Edge-lit signs keep the visual field open while delivering crisp legend contrast. Use clear panels to “float” the legend in glassy interiors, mirrored panels to mute the face during daytime reflections, or white panels where higher ambient brightness or dark backdrops demand stronger contrast. Establish a floor-wide standard for legend color (red or green) and keep chevron arrowing consistent with approved egress directions to simplify inspection and wayfinding.

• Sightlines first: For long corridors, end-mount a double-face unit at intersections so the legend is visible from either approach.
• Glare control: Align canopy and panel plane with adjacent luminaires and ceiling datum lines; avoid tilting the panel toward strong downlights.
• Ambient balance: In high-reflectance atriums, mirrored or white panels can minimize visual noise while preserving visibility.

• Panel Options: Clear (standard), mirrored (reduces daytime visibility of hardware), or white acrylic (high contrast).
• Power & Battery: Universal 120/277 V input; EM uses 4.8 V Ni-Cd with 90-minute backup; two-rate charging.
• Controls: Bi-color status LED; push-to-test; solid-state transfer for reliable switchover.
• Environment: Damp-location rated 0–50 °C.
• Accessories: Dual-circuit AC (2C-120 / 2C-277); TP tamper hardware; SDT self-testing; custom legends/wording.

Illumination

• Uniform, low-glare edge-lighting through the acrylic panel for crisp character definition and long-range readability.
• Consistent legend brightness across single- and double-face configurations (mirrored insert supplied for double-face).

Electrical

• Universal 120/277 V; bi-color indicator (green = normal, red = service); manual push-to-test.
• EM battery: 4.8 V Ni-Cd supports 90-minute egress operation; ~24-hour typical recharge after full test.
• SDT option: Automated monthly and periodic (biannual/annual) tests with status indication for maintenance logs.

Mounting

• Top (ceiling) or end (flag) mount via included universal canopy; secure to standard junction boxes.
• Wall mount using rear knockouts; maintain plumb panel plane to avoid glare and skew.
• Convertible single/double-face during installation; apply chevrons to match approved path of egress.

Housing / Panel

• Extruded frame in satin aluminum; optional white or black powder-coat to match trim and hardware.
• Acrylic panel: clear, mirrored, or white—select to balance ambient reflectance and legend contrast.

Options

• SDT — self-diagnostic testing (monthly, biannual/annual).
• 2C-120 / 2C-277 — Dual-circuit AC operation for emergency + normal feeds (no battery).
• TP — tamper-resistant hardware kit.
• Custom — Alternate legends/wording (subject to code and fabrication lead time).

Warranty / Listings

• 5-year warranty on housing & electronics; Ni-Cd battery 5-year prorated.
• UL 924 listed for damp locations (0–50 °C).
• Meets NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA and CEC Title 20 requirements.

Dimensions

• 13" W × 8" H × 1 ¾" D (see spec sheet for detailed drawings).

Planning & Commissioning Tips

• Legend color standard: Establish RED or GREEN by floor/wing before procurement to avoid mixed inventory and rework.
• Arrowing: Apply chevrons during rough-in to lock direction; document left/right/double on plan submittals for AHJ review.
• Glare & reflections: In high-illuminance lobbies, consider mirrored or white panels to minimize visual clutter while keeping contrast.
• Testing cadence: Perform a monthly functional check and a full 90-minute duration test annually; SDT models automate and report via the status LED.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ELXTEU approved for commercial use?

Yes. It is UL 924 listed, damp-location rated, and complies with NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA, and CEC Title 20.

Can I select red or green EXIT letters on site?

Yes. The unit ships field-selectable; set RED or GREEN to match your building standard during installation.

Does the sign include a battery?

EM versions include a 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery for 90 minutes of emergency runtime. AC-only versions are available for dual-circuit applications.

What mounting options are included?

A universal canopy supports top (ceiling) or end (flag) mounting; rear knockouts allow wall mounting.

Which panel should I choose—clear, mirrored, or white?

Use clear for a floating legend, mirrored to reduce daytime hardware visibility, and white for maximum contrast against dark backgrounds.
