EMERGENCY LIGHTING AND POWER EQUIPMENT FOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS

Damp location listed units are suitable for use in:

  1. Interior locations subject to moderate degrees of moisture, such as some basements, some barns, some cold-storage  

 

  warehouses, and the like.
  2. Partially protected locations under canopies, marquees, roofed open porches and the like.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This unit is designed for surface mounting on a wall or other sold surface (building support structure, column, etc.).  Unit must be 

mounted high enough to maximize illuminated area under anticipated conditions of use.  Be sure to allow ample clearance for 

mounting and aiming the lighting heads.

Provide each unit with a single unswitched power supply from a 120 or 277VAC branch circuit used for normal lighting in the same 

area.  The wiring should be  permanent installation, using appropriate size wire.  

Note

:  De-energize AC circuit  to unit during initial installation, and during servicing or relamping operations.
