Product Usage Instructions: EXIT34-RG Emergency Exit Sign

1. Remove the EXIT stencil from the housing and set it aside.
2. Place the provided screws in the holes on the canopy.
3. For ceiling mount, remove the desired hole plug located on the top of the housing. For wall mount, remove the hole plug located on the side of the housing.
4. Insert the canopy tab through the mounting hole of the housing until the flat portion of the canopy touches the housing frame. Slide the canopy towards the smaller end of the mounting hole to engage and lock it into place.
5. Route the EXIT input wires through the canopy and the metal mounting plate.
6. Make the wiring connection using the appropriate wires (black and white for 120V, red and white for 277V). Properly insulate the unused lead with a wire nut or other approved means.
7. Push the wire connections into the J-Box and secure the mounting plate to the junction box using suitable hardware.
8. Secure the canopy to the steel mounting plate with screws.
9. Remove the required chevron(s) as necessary. If removing chevrons, consider removing the color diffuser panel for easier access. Reinstall the diffuser panel and secure it with diffuser retention caps once chevron(s) have been removed.
10. Connect the battery only after continuous AC power is provided to the unit.

Ceiling and End Mount Installation

1. Remove EXIT stencil from housing, set aside.
2. Place screws (provided) in holes on the canopy.
3. Remove the desired mounting hole plug located on the frame of the sign. For ceiling mount, hole plug will be located on the top of the housing. For wall mount, hole plug will be located on the side of the housing.
4. Place canopy tab through the mounting hole of the housing until the flat portion of the canopy is touching the housing frame. Lock the canopy into place by sliding the canopy, without turning, toward smaller end of the mounting hole until the tab is fully engaged and locked into place. Once canopy is in the locked position there will not be any side-to-side movement of the canopy.
5. Route EXIT input wires through canopy and through metal mounting plate.
6. Make wiring connection. For 120V, use black and white wires. And for 277V, use red and white wires. WARNING: Properly insulate the unused lead with a wire nut (provided) or other approved means.
7. Push wire connections into the J-Box. Secure mounting plate to junction box (hardware not included).
