Frequently asked questions
Common questions about COMPASS from 3G Electric.
What voltage ranges do COMPASS emergency lights support?
COMPASS emergency lights, such as the CU2SQ and CSWEU2LED, typically operate on 120/277V AC input voltage. The CUWZ-PC model supports a wider range of 100 to 300V AC, accommodating varying electrical infrastructures. Always verify the specific model's voltage rating before installation to ensure compatibility with your facility's power supply.
Are COMPASS exit signs available with battery backup?
Yes, COMPASS offers exit signs with emergency battery backup, such as the CERRC and CEGRC models, which include nickel-cadmium batteries for operation during power outages. These units are designed for ceiling mounting and support universal field-selectable directional indicators. Non-battery-powered models like the CAG are also available for applications where backup is not required.
What environmental ratings do COMPASS emergency lights have?
COMPASS emergency lights are available with damp location or wet location ratings. For example, the CU2SQ is damp location rated, suitable for areas with moisture like covered entrances. The CUWZ-PC is wet location rated, making it appropriate for outdoor or washdown environments. Always check the product specifications for the exact rating to match your installation environment.
Can COMPASS remote heads be used with any exit sign?
COMPASS remote heads, such as the CIRD, are designed for compatibility with specific COMPASS exit sign models, including CERRC, CEGRC, CU2RC, and CCRRC. They operate at 3V and are wall-mounted with adjustable heads. For other brands or models, verify compatibility through the manufacturer's specifications or consult 3G Electric for guidance.
What mounting options are available for COMPASS emergency lights?
COMPASS emergency lights are primarily designed for surface mounting on ceilings or walls. Models like the CU2SQ and CSWEU2LED are surface-mounted, while the CUWZ-PC also supports surface mounting. Exit signs offer ceiling or wall mounting options, with some models supporting one or two faces. Always refer to the installation instructions for proper mounting procedures.
