Best Applications
Choose NYRELZXTE for NYC commercial interiors that require an 8 in red-letter edge-lit EXIT sign in a recessed architectural format. Common applications include corridors, elevator lobbies, tenant spaces, public buildings, schools, hotels, and finished ceilings where a surface box would be visually disruptive.
Face, Panel, and Trim Selection
- Use single-face configurations where the sign is viewed from one primary direction.
- Use double-face configurations where occupants approach the sign from two directions.
- Choose clear, mirror, or white panel combinations to match the visibility and appearance required by the space.
- Select white, black, or natural aluminum trim to coordinate with the finished ceiling or wall plane.
EM, SDT, and SPV Selection
- Choose EM variants when the sign needs integral 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery backup for 90 minutes of emergency operation.
- Choose SDT self-diagnostics when the owner wants automated test support for inspection routines.
- Choose SPV when the project requires 208/220/240 VAC input instead of standard 120/277 VAC.
- Allow EM battery models to complete their charge period before a full-duration discharge test.
Recessed Rough-In Planning
- Use standard recessed configurations for drywall or T-bar ceiling grid installations.
- Use the WM option when the application calls for a recessed wall installation.
- Confirm above-ceiling space, framing, access, trim alignment, and serviceability before rough-in.
- The fixture is serviceable from below ceiling level for maintenance access.
NYC Egress Marking
- The product family uses an 8 in red EXIT legend for NYC-style requirements.
- Self-adhesive chevrons and a template support left, right, or no-arrow egress marking.
- Confirm final arrow direction against the life-safety plan before closeout.
- Keep the acrylic panel clean and unobstructed to preserve edge-lit visibility.
Input and Test Workflow
- Standard input is 120/277 VAC with bi-color status LED and push-to-test button.
