THE ANATOMY OF THE BETTER
Before you even get close to our new Edge-Glo®, you will quickly see how
much it stands out from the competition. Its crisply detailed panels are brighter and more
evenly illuminated, making the letters more attractive and far easier to read from a
distance.
But what really sets our new Edge-Glo® apart is its
straight-forward practicality. It begins saving money immediately by installing in less
than one-third the time of traditional edge-lighted signs, not much longer than a surface
mounted box sign. And with long-life, low wattage LED lamping, Edge-Glo® will reduce your energy and
operating costs to practically nil.
Easier on your eyes. Easier on your installer. Easier on
your operating budget. Alkco’s new Edge-Glo®…just what you’d expect from the originator of edge-lighted
exit signs.
Universal Mount Surface Housing
Supplied with universal mount canopy so a single model accommodates
ceiling, flush wall or end-wall mounting. Housing KO pattern also allows end or ceiling
mounting over single-device outlet box covers without the canopy.
A. Ultra-Bright, Long-Life, Low-Energy,
LED’s
Double-face LED signs consume only 5 watts of input power,
single-face signs less than 3 1/2 watts. LED’s last for 25+ years. Energy and
maintenance costs are reduced to the bare minimum. Edge-Glo is also available with T5
fluorescent lamps.
B. Plenum Listed Housing
Standard recessed housings are listed for use in plenum ceilings. No
need to specify a special housing for plenum ceiling installations.
C. Top Access Wiring Cover
Access to supply wires is obtained through this quick-release cover,
eliminating the need to remove the wireway to complete electrical connections. Saves time
and prevents job-site loss and damage to the wireway. (See detail in step 3 photo at
right.)
D. Alkco-Loc™ Bar Hangers
Supplied with each housing, these proprietary bar hangers lock
directly onto T-bar members or can be suspended from the building structure in sheet-rock
installations. They provide vertical and lateral housing adjustment and may be rotated 90
degrees to accommodate the required ceiling orientation. Speeds installation and
eliminates the need to scavenge the job-site for mounting materials.
E. Crystal-Clear Injection Molded Panel With
Floating Letters
Tapered cross-section with silverized bottom produced bright,
uniformly illuminated letters. Edge-Glo panels clearly identify the means of egress
without aesthetic intrusion. Panel/faceplate assemblies are packed separately from
housings to prevent job-site damage.
F. Minimal Faceplate With Concealed Fasteners
Narrow 3 3/4” wide white faceplate unobtrusively blends with
the ceiling. Concealed torsion springs facilitate installation & maintenance and snugs
tight to the ceiling to eliminate light leaks. Optional decorative finishes may also be
specified.
Emergency Battery Back-up
Provides 2 hours of illumination in event of power failure. Standard
features include: Solid state temperature compensating variable float charger; sealed
lead-acid battery; line-latched low voltage disconnect; voltage sensitive brownout circuit
and AC lock out. Battery carries 3-year replacement /7 year prorata warranty.
