ILLUMINATION
Illumination is accomplished with 2 lamp heads mounted on
the top of the unit. Most often specified is Exitronix “P” Series
rectangular lamp heads. The “P” Series lamp heads incorporate a
high performance parabolic reflector with a wedge base tungsten
lamp, allowing maximum spacing between units along a path of
egress.
HOUSING
Constructed of impact resistant, UL 94 V-0 white thermoplastic.
Universal J-box mounting pattern, keyhole slots or shelf
mounting. Includes a low profile test switch and AC indicator
light mounted on the side of unit.
ELECTRONICS
120/277 VAC dual voltage input with surge-protected, solidstate
circuitry provides for a reliable charging system. Charging
system is complete with low voltage disconnect, AC lockout,
brown-out protection, AC indicator lamp and test switch.
BATTERY
Maintenance-free, sealed nickel cadmium battery has
an estimated service life of 12 years, and an operating temperature
range of 20°F (-7°C) to 95°F (35°C). Maintenance-free, sealed
lead calcium battery has an estimated service life of 10 years,
and an operating temperature of 65°F (19°C) to 85°F (30°C).
Batteries supply 90 minutes of emergency power.
WARRANTY
5 years full electronics warranty. One year full plus 4 year
prorated lead calcium battery warranty. 5 year full plus 5 year
prorated nickel cadmium battery warranty.
HOUSING
Constructed of impact resistant, UL 924 V-0 thermoplastic. White housing
standard. Provides installation flexibility with its j box mounting pattern
and key hole slots. Unit can also be shelf mounted. The suggested lamp
head is the “P” Series rectangular wedge base tungsten lamp head.
ELECTRONICS
120/277 VAC dual voltage input with surge protected, solid-state
charging circuitry provides for a reliable charging system. The charging
system is furnished with low voltage disconnect, AC lockout, brownout
protection, AC indicator lamp and test switch. The low voltage disconnect
(LVD) feature will disconnect the battery prior to an unacceptable deep
discharge, but not before the required 90 minute emergency operation.
The AC lockout feature prevents battery drain prior to the initial
energizing of utility power, and allows the installer to complete all
wiring and electrical connections without energizing the emergency
circuit. The brownout protection circuitry will automatically switch the
unit into the emergency mode if the utility voltage sags below 20% of
nominal. Battery charging circuitry is entirely solid-state, and utilizes
a constant current charger for nickel cadmium battery units. A fully
automatic, voltage regulated charger is used for lead calcium battery
units. Line sensitive electronics cause an instantaneous transfer to
battery power if utility power is lost, or a brownout condition is detected.
When line voltage is present and stabilized, the transfer circuitry
switches back to normal operation and begins recharging the battery.
The transfer circuitry can be tested via a momentary test switch located
on the housing.
AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC TESTER
Our “G2” option conducts automatic and manual tests, and indicated
real time status of the lamp, battery and charger via multiple LEDs.
Automatic tests include: Systems analysis is contiuous, with actual load
tests performed for a 5 minute duration every 30 days, and for a 90
minute duration every 180 days. Manual tests include a 2 second, and 15
minute battery discharge and lamp illumination tests.
CODE COMPLIANCE
The RP Series meets or exceeds all performance standards as required
by UL 924, NFPA 70, NFPA 101, NEC and OSHA.
