Recessed Ceiling or Recessed Wall Mount
1. Position the recessed kit between the joists (Fig. 1).
NOTE:
If using a single face EXIT sign, make sure to position the
recessed kit such that when the EXIT panel assembly is installed, it
will be in the correct orientation. This is determined by matching up
the location of the EXIT panel connector within the trim plate
assembly (see Fig. 2) and the location of the EXIT panel
connector on the EXIT panel (see Fig. 3 & 4).
2. Align one end of the bar hangers with the bottom of the joists,
then secure temporarily by hammering in the “nail-in” tabs.
Loosen the bar hanger set screws on both sides of the recessed
housing. Align the other end of the bar hangers to the opposing joist
and hammer in the “nail-in” tabs.
3. Once the bar hangers are aligned properly, permanently secure
the bar hangers by hammering in the nails.
4. With the bar hanger set screws still loose, adjust the horizontal
placement of the recessed housing between the joists by sliding along
the bar hangers. Secure by tightening the bar hanger set screws.
5. Adjust the vertical placement of the recessed housing by loosening the
vertical slot set screws, then raising or lowering the recessed housing.
The recessed housing should be positioned such that the trim plate will
be flush with the ceiling or wall when installed. Secure by tightening the
vertical slot set screws.
6. Separate the trim plate assembly from the housing by loosening the (2)
screws on either end of the trim plate. The spring hangers will keep the
trim plate assembly from falling (Fig. 2).
7. Loosen the end of the trim plate assembly closest to the wire
compartment by pinching the spring hanger and guiding its ends out
through the opening in the housing. Carefully lower the loosened end
of the trim plate assembly until it is supported by the safety cable.
8. Connect the battery/batteries to the PCB.
9. Remove the wire compartment cover and set aside.
10. Route wires into the wire compartment.
11. Make electrical connections; see
Electrical Connections
section.
12. Push excess wire into the wire compartment, then replace the wire
compartment cover.
13. Reposition the spring hanger into the recessed housing, then slide the
trim plate assembly back into the recessed housing and secure with the
(2) screws.
14. Connect the EXIT panel assembly to the PCB, then secure by sliding
into the EXIT panel slot in the trim plate (Fig. 3 & 4).
