INSTALLATION – HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS
NOTE:
Wall or ceiling mounting using the canopy kit is not
intended for hazardous locations. The canopy kit is not
suitable for Hazardous Locations and is meant Non-
Hazardous Locations installation only.
NOTE:
For hazardous location compliance, the UX must be
installed using the provided conduit hub. The UX should
not be directly mounted to a junction box when used in
hazardous locations.
1. For field supply connection to the unit, use suitable wiring
method for the hazardous location per NEC. Circuit should
not be energized at this time.
2. Remove the weather shield by removing the 4 screws in
the corners (See Figure 1). Due to the airtight nature of the
exit sign, the weather shield may be held on by a slight
vacuum. If this occurs, carefully pry the corners of the
shield with a flat head screwdriver, but do no damage the
water shield or inner gasket.
3. Remove the stencil face by prying the snap fits on the side
up, by placing a flat head screw driver in the slots and
lifting (See Figure 1).
4. Choose the appropriate knock out for the mounting (left
side, right side, or top or backplate), and knock it out using
a hammer and flat blade screwdriver. Connect conduit
using the ½” fitting provided (See Figure 4).
5. For single face units only, if needed, knock out the two
round knock outs at the far left and right of the backplate,
and apply foam gasket to the back of the exit sign. Use
these holes to attach the UX to the wall using a standard
#8 screw or larger. Only remove the gasket holes needed
for installation. For double face units, proceed to Step 6.
NOTE:
When mounting the UX, it is necessary to consider the
weight of the exit sign, about 7 pounds. A suitable anchor
is recommended, or mounting directly to a stud for the
junction box the exit sign is mounted to.
6. After the frame is securely mounted, the stencil can be
hung for “hands free” wiring using the Sure-Lites EZ Hang
system. (See figure 2).
