Emergency lighting system comes with remote or direct-mounted lamps

Designed for hazardous, corrosive applications, the CID2 non-metallic emergency lighting system comes with the choice of either remote or direct-mounted fixtures.

Capable of providing up to 90 minutes of emergency operation, the system operates on a solid-state charger that maintains the sealed-cell, maintenance-free battery at full charge. During emergency operation, the battery is protected from deep discharge by a low-voltage disconnect (LVD) circuit. The system is rated NEMA 3R (raintight), and is ruggedly built from compression molded, fiberglass reinforced polyester, formed with a continuous silicone gasket. It can be used in both NEC Class I, Div. 2 areas, as well as for Class I, Zone 2 rated applications. OZ/Gedney, EGS Electrical Group
