EMERGENCY OPERATION
Upon failure of the normal utility power, a solid-state transfer
switch automatically activates the DC incandescent emergency
lamps providing uninterrupted operation for at least 120 minutes.
The battery is protected from deep discharge through the use of
a low voltage disconnect circuit. Upon resumption of the normal
utility power the battery is disconnected from the load and
recharged through a solid-state charging circuit. Emergency exit
signs feature a fully automatic charger designed to recharge the
battery within 24 hours.
BATTERY
CSC Series exit signs are provided with a sealed maintenance free
lead calcium battery that will provide many years of dependable
service.
