Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The CSEL Series Commercial Steel Emergency Light features rugged heavy duty steel construction and powerful PAR style incandescent lamps. The CSEL is approved for use in New York City and is available in 6, 12, or 24 volt models. The capacity of the CSEL ranges from 15-200 watts. The CSEL mounts to the wall by means of keyhole slots and is available in white or black. The CSEL utilizes a maintenance-free, Lead Calcium Battery. Pure Lead and Nickel Cadmium batteries are also available. The CSEL features a LED status indicator and push-to-test button standard. Illumination is provided by PAR 36 style incandescent lamps enclosed in a thermoplastic housing. UL 924 Listed.

CONSTRUCTION: Heavy duty steel cabinet is finished in neutral cream baked-on powder paint providing scratch and corrosion resistance. Optional black and special color paint finishes available. Lighting heads are impact resistant, UV stable, flame rated thermoplastic lamp housing and swivel assemblies in neutral cream color to match unit housing. Lighting heads are fully adjustable and feature lockable swivels.

ILLUMINATION: High output incandescent lamps maximize illumination characteristics through a specially designed reflector and glass lens assembly that provides glare-free trapezoidal light distribution. Lamp Type 6 and 12V models: Incandescent - wedge base Lamp Type 24V models: Incandescent - bayonet base 6 Volt Lamp Rating: 6 volt, 7.2 watt 12 Volt Lamp Rating: 12 volt, 9 watt 24 Volt Lamp Rating: 24 volt, 9 watt Lamp Life: 100 hours (expected average)


BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: 6V, 4 amp-hour lead calcium battery works during power failures. Easily replaceable and requires no maintenance. When completely charged, supplies emergency power for 90 minutes. Indicator light shows high charge and readiness for operation.

INSTALLATION: Mounting: Units are designed for mounting to walls by means of keyhole slots provided in the back of the unit housing. Units may also be mounted by means of accessory wall bracket or mounting shelf. Wiring: Knockouts are provided in the back of the housing for rear wiring from standard electrical boxes. Surface wiring is also provided for by conduit knockouts in the top and left hand side of the unit housing.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Charger Type: Fully automatic, temperature compensating, variable rate float charger
Utility Input: 120/277VAC, 60 Hz. Power Consumption: 15 watts (maximum)
Temperature Range: 68ºF to 86ºF (20ºC to 30ºC)
Recharge Duty Cycle: 24 hours
Load Transfer: 6 volt models rated 25 watts or less and 12 volt models rated 50 watts or less utilize a solid state transfer circuit for load connection. All other models utilize mechanical relays for load transfer and provide fused DC load connections.
Controls: Momentary test switch and LED AC-On indicator light
Safety Circuitry: AC Lockout: Prevents battery discharge prior to initial unit power-up saving installation time.
Low Voltage Battery Disconnect: Protects the battery from being severely damaged by deep discharge during prolonged power failures. DC Overload and Short Circuit Protection: On units with solid state transfer, output protection is provided by a disconnect circuit that automatically resets itself when the fault condition is corrected. On units with mechanical relay transfer, output protection is provided by fused load connections. Brownout Protection: Automatically switches the unit to emergency mode when utility voltage is reduced to the point at which most fluorescent light fixtures would extinguish.

CODE COMPLIANCE: All models are UL924 Listed and meet NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NEC, OSHA, Local and State Codes.

Question : What is and do I need the battery backup option for my emergency light?
Answer : The battery backup option provides power to your emergency lights in case of a fire, earthquake, or other emergency that causes a power outage. You must have the battery backup model if you DO NOT have a generator that provides power to your facility in emergency circumstances.
Question : When do emergency lights come on?
Answer : Emergency lights turn on when power is lost to the facility. When equipped with a battery backup or supplied with electricity from a generator, Greentorch emergency lights will operate for a minimum of 90 minutes in emergency situations.
Question : Does this emergency light plug-in to a wall outlet?
Answer : No. Emergency lights have to be hard-wired into your electrical system to be building and fire code compliant. If you are looking for a 100% battery operated emergency light it does not exist because it is impossible to charge the battery for the light without a source of electricity. Batteries in emergency lights have a trickle charge, which means the battery uses a minute amount of electricity to stay charged incase of an emergency power outage.
Question : What does 120/277v mean?
Answer : 120/277 refers to the line voltage that the emergency light can operate on. 120 refers to residential and small commercial line voltage while 220 refers to commercial and office building line voltage. The main point is that our emergency lights will work in either situation so you don’t need to worry about the functionality. We recommend using a licensed electrician or maintenance professional to install the signs.
Question : Are there emergency lights with batteries that operate longer than 90 minutes in emergency power mode?
Answer : Yes, there are. The higher the wattage of the emergency lighting unit the longer the unit will operate in emergency power mode (while keeping the lamp head wattage constant). Please see our industrial line of emergency lights, which come with large batteries (up to 400 watts).
Question : What is remote head capability?
Answer : Remote head capability means that the emergency lighting unit has been equipped with a battery that is powerful enough to supply power remotely to individual lamp heads. The larger the battery, the more remote heads a unit can handle.
