Explosion Proof Exit Sign

Product Description

As the Electrical Contractor assigned to purchase the escape lighting in a gasoline storage facility, your goal is to find a compact exit sign that won't require regular service. You need a sign thats built tough, has a high tolerance to heat and, most importantly, hermetically sealed to prevent causing an explosion.

In this scenario (deemed Class I Division 2 by the NEC) you need the Explosion Proof Location Exit Sign, which is rated for use in Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations. It includes battery backup, keeping the red or green 'EXIT' legend running long after a power outage. The SVXNHZ-1-R-D is ideal for hazardous industrial locations where explosive gas or vapors could accidentally be introduced to the working environment.

Best of all, maintenance is a thing of the past as this Class 1 Division 2 exit sign includes a Self-Diagnostic which automates manual OSHA testing requirements. To receive a price quote or ask any question you might have about the specs and lead time, please call us at 800-282-5600 to speak with an expert.

Construction

The SVXNHZ-1-R-D is constructed with a 1/8" thick aluminum backplate that will not dent, peel or corrode. The 'EXIT' faceplate is made of polyvinyl chloride, and includes a gasket that prevents liquid or gas ingress to the sign. Tamper resistant screws seal the faceplate to the backplate, creating a seal around the battery, circuits and LED strip inside.

This Explosion Proof Location Exit Sign model has many options to choose from.  Choose between single or double face units. Choose Red or Green LED light sources, depending on your location and the other signs around. Also decide if you want a Ceiling or Wall Mount conduit bracket.

Battery

This SVXNHZ-1-R-D model includes a rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack. It provides emergency backup power to the exit sign for at least 90 minutes, and only requires 48-hours to fully recharge. Ni-Cd batteries have the highest heat tolerance compared to other emergency batteries.

Since UL, OSHA and all city Fire Codes require monthly operational tests, the Self Testing feature is an obvious time and cost saving solution for maintenance teams. It will constantly monitor the battery, circuits and LEDs as well as perform a 30-second test monthly and a 90-minute power failure test every six months. An LED indicator light will flash red if any fault is detected, alerting maintenance personnel.
