Class 1 division 2 exit signs are installed at locations where combustible gas and vapors are present in the air at such concentrations that they pose an explosion risk. Division 2 denotes the condition of the specific room or space, where gases are not typically present but could be introduced as an abnormal part of daily operation, like an accidental spillage. Such locations can include gasoline storage, fuel servicing areas and medical facilities.
Class 1 div 2 exit signs are built with thick die-cast aluminum housings that are gasket-sealed to prevent flammable gases from entering the internal circuitry. The 'exit' lettering is protected by a clear shatter-proof polycarbonate lense and all fastening hardware is stainless steel. Unit is flame retardant and corrosion-resistant and can be employed as an all-weather exit sign.
This exit sign is lit by tiny, energy efficient LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that come in red or green options and use only 5 watts of electricity. These models include an automated self-diagnostic that greatly reduces the need for physical periodic maintenance. An LED display gives a visual status report of the circuits, battery and overall readiness.
Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery provides 90 minutes of emergency lighting with an expected shelf-life of 5-7 years.
AC-only models exclude the battery and are available for facilites with external emergency battery sources.
PARTS - Three-year warranty on parts
BATTERY - four-year prorated warranty on lead calcium battery, five-year for nickel cadmium
Periodic maintenance must be performed at monthly and yearly intervals if the self-diagnostic option is waived. This ensures the battery and lamps will work properly during a power outage or other emergency.
8-10 year expected shelf life. Replacement components are available.
Internal Battery Heater - The battery heater option enables the battery backup to operate in freezing temperature locations, as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Self-Diagnostic - This option greatly reduces the need for manual maintenance. An LED display gives constant status reports on the unit.
