Steel LED Exit Sign - Red/Green Letters, Battery Backup Options

Choose SXTEU for interior projects where a metal EXIT sign is preferred over molded thermoplastic. It fits schools, warehouses, back-of-house retail corridors, equipment rooms, institutional hallways, light industrial interiors, and tenant spaces that need a durable steel body.

• Use SXTEU when the schedule calls for steel construction with red/green letter flexibility.
• Use a thermoplastic sign when lowest fixture cost and lighter construction are more important than a metal body.
• Use a wet-location sign for exterior, washdown, or weather-exposed spaces.

The product family can cover red or green EXIT lettering and one-way or two-way viewing without changing the steel platform.

• Select the required letter color from building plans, existing building signage, and direction from the local code official.
• Use single-face setup for above-door placements and double-face setup for corridor approaches from two directions.
• Set the steel chevrons to match the approved path of travel before inspection.

SXTEU has three live power/test paths: AC-only, EM battery backup, and EMSDT self diagnostics on the battery-backed configuration.

• Choose AC-only variants where emergency power is handled by the building system.
• Choose EM variants for onboard 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery backup and 90-minute emergency operation.
• Choose EMSDT variants when automated diagnostic testing is required for maintenance records.

SXTEU options combine letter color, body finish, battery backup, and diagnostics in 12 active variants.

• SXTEU2RW, SXTEU2RB, SXTEU2GW, and SXTEU2GB are AC-only base paths.
• Add EM for battery-backup versions in the same letter and housing combinations.
• Add EMSDT for battery-backed versions with self-diagnostic testing.

Review the field location before ordering so the steel canopy, backplate, and face orientation align with the final egress layout.

• The steel canopy supports top or end placement.
• The universal backplate supports surface wall placement over common junction-box patterns.
• Confirm conduit approach, door swing, sightline, and service clearance before rough-in.

Some SXTEU options appear in the spec sheet but are not standard live variant selectors on the product page.

• 2C-120 and 2C-277 indicate dual-circuit service paths for AC-only applications.
• TP indicates tamper-proof hardware for locations where fixture access should be controlled.
• Confirm quote availability before substituting these options into a project paperwork.

Keep the product selection tied to the approved egress plan and the linked SXTEU PDF.

• Confirm UL 924 listing, 0-50 C damp-location suitability, body finish, letter color, face count, arrow direction, and power path.
• Verify whether EM, EMSDT, 2C, or TP requirements are present before ordering.
• Use the spec sheet for cabinet dimensions, canopy details, and installation reference drawings.

SXTEU keeps maintenance familiar for facilities that prefer metal exit signage and standard inspection routines.

• Allow EM models to complete a full charge cycle before annual duration testing.
• Record monthly functional checks and annual 90-minute tests according to the site plan.
• EMSDT models can reduce manual test friction where automated diagnostics are accepted.

• Confirm UL 924 listing, damp-location suitability, letter color, body finish, face count, arrow direction, power path, diagnostics, and local code approval for the project.
• Spec-sheet options such as 2C-120, 2C-277, and TP hardware should be confirmed through quote support before substitution.
