Lighting
Feature
The most advanced EL (Electroluminescent) Lamp technology ever developed.
Benefit
EL (Electroluminescent) Lamp is the most cost effective, environmentally sensitive, Green technology in the emergency sign industry. It uses substantially less electricity, produces less CO2 pollution, has more uniform and consistent illumination and lasts longer than other exit sign. Additional benefits include best visibility from distance, best visibility through smoke, the absence of confusion as a source of heat or fire, and the most maintenance free.
Housing

Installation
Feature
Simple universal mounting is preconfigured on the top, sides or back of the entire series of signs. Chevrons are also preconfigured for left, right, none or both.
Benefit
The signs are delivered installation ready. It only requires attaching the wires with two wire nuts and two screws to fasten the sign to the wall or ceiling to complete the installation of the sign.
Fire Regulations
Feature
National Fire Protection Agency 101 (NFPA 101) regulations require monthly and annual testing of the exit signs' Battery Backup systems — conducted manually on the Smart series exit signs and automatically on the Intelligent series.
Benefit
Both series of exit signs are equipped with Battery Backup capability that can be manually tested for monthly and annual NFPA 101 compliance. Simply by pressing the test button once for the 30-second monthly test or twice for the 90-minute annual test. During testing a green light flashes and returns to off when the test passes or turns on if attention is needed. The Intelligent series of signs require no manual testing as they automatically perform the required test. Simply check the green light once per month.
Self-test Feature
Feature
The battery backup signs monitor the performance of the batteries, the battery charger and the AC/DC switcher. No need to touch the sign or shut down power. If desired, there is a manual test override capability.
Manual Testing
Simply touch the battery test button and either a monthly or an annual test is performed.
