Construction
The CHEX series features a 20-gauge steel housing with a white powder coating, complemented by a high-temperature, scratch-resistant red and white silk finish. Its impact-resistant glass lens and open-face glass panel ensure durability, while the unique design allows for easy double-face conversion in the field.
Emergency Operation
Upon failure of the normal utility power, an internal solidstate transfer switch automatically provides uninterrupted emergency operation for at least 90 minutes. The fully automatic solid-state, two-rate charger initiates battery charging to recharge a discharged battery in 24 hours.
Battery - Battery Backup
The CHEX series is designed with a maintenance-free LiFePO4 3.2V 1500mAH battery that provides a minimum emergency duration of 90 minutes. Recharge time of the battery is 24 hours.
Electrical Components
The unit features a universal input of 120-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power consumption of just 4W. A solid-state, voltage-limited charger with overload and short-circuit protection ensures reliable performance. The LED display indicates AC/ON, while an external test switch and power indicator light allow maintenance personnel to quickly verify operational status during battery backup mode.
