Unit to be installed only as per configuration described in this instruction manual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
1. Turn off AC power.
Canopy Mount a. Remove canopy assembly from carton. Remove mounting plate
from canopy and retain securement screw. b. Route AC circuit wires into the junction box and leave 6″ of wire
length. c. Remove proper knockouts in canopy backplate for desired

g. In order to access the knockouts of the frame, remove the 4 electronic module screw(s) holding the electronic module to the frame and separate them (see fig.2).
h. Determine which holes in the exit frame will be used for mounting (see fig.1 & fig.3). Support frame with two blocks of wood, maximum one inch apart. Strike knockouts with a hammer and screwdriver. Clear holes of burrs to allow proper assembly of nipple/ wire assembly.
i. Secure canopy to the frame by threading the provided nipple/wire assembly through the canopy and frame. Make sure the gasket washers and nylon washer are between the canopy and frame, and that the locknuts(11) are inside the exit sign (see fig. 1 & 3).
j. Reassemble the electronic module inside the frame.
Wall Mount (Single Face Model Only) a. Remove the backplate from the packaging. Determine the proper
knockouts to remove for mounting to a junction box (see fig.4). For Nexus wired option, install the liquidtight® fitting, provided with the unit (see fig. 4).
b. Support area around knockouts with two blocks of wood. Strike knockouts from the inside with a hammer and a screwdriver.
c. Mount parts 11, 12, 15, 17 & 19 to backplate, as shown in fig. 4, and reinstall the backplate to the frame using the 4 tamper-proof screws (use the supplied bit).
2. Electrical connections: Using the sealed AC nipple/wire assembly (3 wires), connect one end to the transformer leads, inside the enclosure, and the other end, to AC line voltage inside the junction box. Connect the white lead to neutral and the purple lead to AC line voltage (the input is universal 110 to 277 VAC). (See fig. 5). Optional: For AC models used with DC remote power, the sealed DC nipple/wire assembly (2 wires) will also need to be installed. One end connects to the LED-STRIP leads, inside the enclosure, and the other end to DC input inside the junction box. Connect the red lead to positive, and the blue lead to the negative of the remote DC input (See fig. 5).
3. For canopy mount: Attach the canopy backplate to the junction box using the junction box screws. Mount the frame and canopy assembly to canopy back plate by using the provided securement screw. For wall mount: Attach the frame to the junction box, using the junction box supplied screws.
4. Reinstall the diffuser and the EXIT panel (if required, remove the appropriate chevron).
5. Install the lens by using the 6 tamper-proof screws. The o-rings has to be installed on the screw between the lens-legend and the frame as shown in figure 1. The tamper-proof screws should be equally torqued to approximately 10 – 15 in-lbs (1.1 – 1.7 N-m).
6. Energize AC. Sign will illuminate.
Manual Testing (Self-Powered Models)
Operate the magnetic “test switch” by holding the provided magnet underneath the unit where indicated on the frame. The AC pilot lamp will go out, the legend will flicker, but remain lit. Remove the magnet. The AC pilot light will turn on, the legend will flicker but remain lit.

Nexus models
Refer to figure 6 for the wiring of Nexus models. These units can accept an input voltage of 120 or 277 VAC: 120 VAC — Connect the black (120 VAC) lead and white (neutral) lead to the building utility. Insulate the orange wire. 277 VAC — Connect the orange (277 VAC) lead and white (neutral) lead to the building utility. Insulate the black wire. Feed excess wire into the junction box.
Nexus wired models Route the double insulated data cables through the liquid tight fitting previously installed on frame and strip 1 inch(25mm) of the double insulation. The two cables are identical and both contain 2 wires of different colors: “color A” and “color B”. Gather the “color A” wire from each cable, and connect them to the same pole on the terminal block. Gather the “color B” wire from each cable, and connect them to the other pole on the terminal block. The result must be 2 wires of the same color in each pole on the terminal block. Leave a minimum of one inch(25mm) between the live voltage cabling and the unsheathed low voltage data cabling (Refer to fig. 9). Refer to the “Nexus Addendum” for additional information.
Nexus RF Refer to “Nexus RF Addendum 750.1575”.
Nexus®Pro Refer to “Nexus®Pro Addendum 750.2060” for important information before powering up unit.
For additional information about the Nexus system, go to “www.nexussystem.com”.
Automatic Diagnostics (Self-Powered Models)
There are three diagnostic indicators: one external and two internal. Unit must be opened to gain access to internal indicators. External: General alarm, “Service Required”. The LED will blink if any alarm condition is detected (see fig. 7). Internal: Battery Alarm & Charger Alarm. Steady ON if alarm condition exists (See fig. 8). Normal operation, No fault — “Service Required” is OFF and one of the two internal LED blinks, showing that the micro controller is active. Faulty operation — “Service Required” blinks. Battery Alarm ON, Charger Alarm OFF: Check battery or replace battery. Battery Alarm ON, Charger Alarm ON: Check LED strip. Battery Alarm OFF, Charger Alarm ON: Check charger circuit.
Food processing facilities
Slot head screws and knock-out covers are available in the hardware kit. To comply with food processing facilities the tamper-proof screws must be remove and replaced with the slot head screws provided. The covers must be installed on the knockouts to avoid any accumulation of contaminants. Note: some detergent used in the food processing industry can affect durability of polycarbonate lens.
Maintenance (All Models)
None required. If AC supply to the unit is to be disconnected for 2 months or more, the battery must be disconnected, Self-Powered Models only.
