Chicago STAIRS Sign

Product Description

The Chicago Stairs Sign features red letters and a white housing. It is approved by the Chicago Buildings Department for use throughout the city. This model is a fully UL924 Listed stairs sign with a Chicago Approved 8" tall red ''STAIRS' legend with white background, which can clearly be seen 100-feet away.

The Chicago Stairs Sign is manufactured from 20-gauge steel which features a white powder coat. The sign comes single sided and is available in a 'universal' model with a (2) faceplates and (1) backplate so it can be configured for single-sided or double-sided applications in the field. The arrows (chevrons) on the stairs sign can be popped out if you need to indicate the direction of the nearest stairs, and a mounting canopy is supplied for ceiling/end mount (wall mount needs no canopy).

Construction

The CHI-STAIRS-RW-BB is constructed with a rugged 20-gauge steel housing which contains no external holes or slots, giving it a clean appearance. This model is powder coated with a baked-on white finish that protects the steel from corrosion. Steel stairs signs are the preferred choice for historic buildings, indoor stairwells and police stations. 

This Chicago Stairs Sign with red letters and white housing includes two (2) removable red 'STAIRS' stencils, allowing for single or double sided configuration. The stencil plates have knockout directional chevrons (arrows), adaptable to any stairs strategy. The CHI-STAIRS-RW-BB includes a mounting canopy and hardware for ceiling, flag or flush wall mount installation.

Battery

This CHI-STAIRS-RW-BB model includes a maintenance-free, Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack. It provides emergency backup power to the stairs sign for at least 90 minutes, and only requires 24-hours to fully recharge. Ni-Cd is the longest lasting battery type available, lasting an average of 15 years.

A push-to-test switch and LED pilot light on the side of the stairs sign housing allows you to test the emergency readiness of the fixture. The LED will flash if any fault is detected in the circuit, LED lights or battery.
