CONSTRUCTION: The EMS is constructed from a solid and durable 20 gauge steel housing. Emergency lighting heads are molded from high impact thermoplastic in a matching color; Par36 style heads are standard, Par18 style heads are optional. The universal mounting pattern stamped into the back of the unit allows for direct mounting to various conduit boxes. Key hole slots are also provided for additional mounting possibilities. Stamped conduit knockouts are supplied standard on all EMS units, providing the widest range of options for AC power source connection. Remote lamp loads are connected to the emergency power supply with sturdy magnum terminal connectors. These connectors allow for a large gauge of wire to be used increasing the flexibility of installation. The EMS is supplied standard in a durable white powder coat, baked finish. Other colors are available, including custom color matching, please specify.

ILLUMINATION: The EMS series is normally supplied with two top mounted Par36 style heads. Smaller Par18 style heads are optional.

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.
