Remote-Capable Thermoplastic LED Exit Sign — 3.0 W Remote Output, Red/Green Legend, Ni-Cd 90 min, 120/277 V — Features & Specs

The CEXTEU Remote-Capable LED Exit Sign delivers bright, code-legible wayfinding in a compact, flame-rated thermoplastic cabinet with the flexibility of 3.0 W remote-head output. A universal backplate and EZ-snap canopy simplify wall, top, or end mounting, while the 3.6 V Ni-Cd pack supplies 90-minute emergency operation. Select a red or green legend, add SDT self-testing for automated diagnostics, or choose SPV 120/230 V for international mains. For related choices, see our exit signs with built-in remote output.

Applications & Design Notes

Choose CEXTEU when you need a slim, economical exit sign that can extend egress illumination a few feet beyond the doorway or around a corner. Typical placements include elevator lobbies, intersecting corridors, small vestibules, and stair landings with a “dead-spot” just off the threshold. The 3.0 W remote budget supports a single higher-output remote or two ultra-compact heads—ideal when a full combo is excessive but a standalone emergency light would clutter the wall.

Plan remote loads by sum of head watts. Keep total = 3.0 W and size conductors to curb voltage drop on longer runs. Where bid specs call for uniform signage, match legend color to the floor standard, select double-face where approach occurs from both directions, and set chevrons during rough-in to lock directionality. If the project requires heavier abuse resistance or jurisdictional particulars, a steel exit sign or a Chicago-approved model is often the right alternate.

  • Finish options: white or black to coordinate with interior palettes.

Options

  • SDT — self-testing diagnostics (monthly / semi-annual / annual) for automated compliance logs; see self-diagnostic exit signage.
  • SPV 120/230 V — special-voltage input for facilities on 230 V mains (maintains listing without field transformers).
  • Pair with compatible LED remote heads sized to the 3.0 W RC budget.

Certifications / Warranty

  • UL 924 listed; damp-location rating (0–40 °C).
  • Meets NFPA 101, NEC, and OSHA; CEC Title 20 compliant.
  • 5-year warranty on electronics & housing; Ni-Cd battery 5-year prorated.

Dimensions

Installation & Code Tips

  • Arrow setup: Set chevrons to match the approved egress direction; document left/right/double in submittals.
  • RC budgeting: Sum the rated watts per head; keep the total = 3.0 W. Shorter runs and appropriate wire gauge help minimize voltage drop.
  • Testing cadence: Allow a full charge before performing the initial 90-minute discharge. Log monthly functional checks and annual full-duration tests.
  • Face selection: Use double-face where occupants approach from both directions (e.g., at corridor intersections).
  • International mains: Specify SPV 120/230 V to maintain listing without a step-down transformer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “remote-capable” mean for the CEXTEU?

It means the internal battery/driver can power external remote heads up to a total of 3.0 W. Use this to illuminate a nearby alcove, vestibule, or short corridor segment without adding a full combo unit.

How do I size remote heads to the 3.0 W budget?

Check each head’s rated watts and sum the load. Keep the total = 3.0 W. Use shorter runs and appropriate wire gauge to minimize voltage drop and maintain performance.

Can I run on 230 V mains?

Yes—specify the SPV 120/230 V model to maintain listing and avoid external step-down transformers.

Is self-testing available?

Yes. The SDT option automates monthly, semi-annual, and annual tests with status indication for maintenance logs and audits.

When should I choose double-face?

Use double-face where occupants approach from both directions (e.g., corridor intersections); otherwise single-face reduces load and visual clutter.

Applications & Design Notes

Use CEXTEU for indoor commercial egress routes that need a compact UL 924 exit sign with battery backup and optional low-wattage remote-head capacity. Good fits include elevator lobbies, intersecting corridors, small vestibules, stair landings, and doorway areas where the EXIT legend handles wayfinding and a nearby remote head can cover a small dark spot. This is a thermoplastic, damp-location exit sign for wall, ceiling, or end mounting; it is not a steel or wet-location exit sign. Keep connected remote load at or below the 3.0 W RC budget, match red or green legend color to project/AHJ requirements, choose single- or double-face configuration based on approach direction, and set chevrons during rough-in.

  • Best fit: indoor/damp commercial exit signage with optional nearby remote-head coverage.
  • Avoid using as a wet-location, outdoor, vandal-resistant, or steel-exit-sign substitute.
  • Remote output: keep compatible remote heads within the 3.0 W budget and account for voltage drop.
