Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of the Brady 139619 Aluminum Muster Point Sign.

Product Overview

The Brady 139619 sign is constructed from durable aluminum, featuring a clear "MUSTER POINT" message in white text on a green background. Its dimensions are 10 inches in height by 14 inches in width, making it easily visible. It is designed for surface mounting and meets ANSI Z53.1-1967 industry standards for safety signs.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation ensures the sign's visibility and effectiveness.

1. Location Selection: Identify a prominent location for the muster point sign. This location should be easily visible from all approach paths to the designated assembly area and free from obstructions.
2. Surface Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
3. Mounting Method: The sign is designed for surface mounting. Use appropriate fasteners (screws, rivets, or adhesive, not included) through the pre-drilled holes in the sign's corners. Ensure the fasteners are suitable for the wall material and the sign's weight (approximately 8 ounces).
4. Orientation: Mount the sign in a landscape orientation, as depicted in the product image, with the text "MUSTER POINT" clearly readable horizontally.
5. Secure Fastening: Securely fasten all four corners of the sign to prevent movement or detachment.

Important: Always consult local building codes and safety regulations for specific requirements regarding emergency signage placement and installation.

Operating Instructions

The Brady 139619 Muster Point Sign serves as a visual indicator for an emergency assembly area. Its "operation" is passive, relying on its clear visibility and placement to guide individuals during an evacuation.

• Purpose: The sign directs personnel to a designated safe location (muster point) where they can gather and be accounted for during emergencies such as fire, chemical spills, or other evacuation events.
• Visibility: Ensure the sign remains unobstructed and well-lit, especially during operational hours, to maximize its effectiveness.
• Training: All personnel should be trained on the location and purpose of muster points within the facility.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the sign remains legible and effective over time.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the sign with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dust, dirt, or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the sign's surface or text.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the sign for any signs of damage, fading, or loosening of fasteners. Ensure the text remains clear and visible.
• Repair/Replacement: If the sign becomes damaged, faded, or unreadable, it should be repaired or replaced promptly to maintain safety standards.

Troubleshooting

While the Brady Muster Point Sign is a passive safety device, issues related to its effectiveness can arise.

• Sign is not visible:
  • Check for obstructions (e.g., new equipment, overgrown vegetation).
  • Ensure adequate lighting in the area, especially during low-light conditions.
  • Verify the sign's placement is at an appropriate height and angle for maximum visibility.
• Sign is damaged or faded:
  • Inspect for physical damage (dents, scratches) or environmental wear (fading from UV exposure).
  • If damage or fading significantly impairs readability, replace the sign.
• Sign is loose or detached:
  • Check the mounting fasteners. Tighten or replace them as necessary.
  • Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound.
