Visibility
testing of photoluminescent EXIT signs has traditionally
been done after the eye has been conditioned to
the dark, usually for 20 minutes. Egress
Dynamics performs visibility tests after only
2 minutes. This is a more realistic time duration,
and provides for ensuring the best performing Life-Safety
product, and eliminates the acceptance of "novelty
type" EXIT signs. |
 |
 |
|
CAUTION:
Min 5 ft-candle external fluorescent illumination
must
be present on sign face at all times of building occupancy.

In
the event of an extended power outage battery backup
systems require hours to recharge after the power returns,
assuming that the charger and batteries are properly
functioning. |
 |
 |
 |
And
buildings cannot be reoccupied until the batteries are
fully charged. |
