MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
All TES-257 products have been manufactured utilizing newly improved photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) pigments, which are based on Strontium Oxide Aluminate Chemistry. They are drastically different from conventional phosphorescent pigments, which are either based on Zinc Sulfide or on radioisotopes for their self-luminous properties. The initial afterglow brightness of Strontium Oxide Aluminate products is up to ten times that of conventional phosphorescent pigments. TES-257 Strontium Oxide Aluminate products deliver illumination levels of 508 millicandelas in the initial phase and lasts upwards of 33 hours, the time span for afterglow brightness to diminish to .32 mcd/m2 (100 times the human eye perception limit).
INSTALLATION
Installation instructions and surface mount hardware are included with each unit. Prior to installation it must be determined that there is a minimum of 5 foot candles of incandescent, fluorescent, metal halide or mercury vapor light on the face(s) of the sign at all times during building occupancy. This small amount of light is necessary for the signÄôs pigment to charge correctly and maintain code compliance. If 5 foot candles of light is not available, consider installing a self-luminous tritium powered exit sign. According to the EPA, the average foot candles found in an office space is 50 foot candles.
COMPLIANCE
The TES-257 EXIT sign has been tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. in accordance with UL 924 and complies with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NFPA 5000, JCAHO, OSHA , ICC - IBC, ICBO - UBC, BOCA - NBC, SBCCI - SBC, 1/UFC, CA Bldg. Code, New York Bldg. Code and ASTM 2072
