Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds UX LED Hazardous Area Exit Signs are engineered specifically to provide reliable and visible emergency exit marking in the most demanding and hazardous environments. Designed for use in industrial settings where exposure to harsh weather, corrosive elements, or flammable gases is a concern, the UX series combines rugged construction with energy-efficient LED technology to deliver dependable performance in critical situations.
Built with a robust die-cast aluminum housing, the UX exit signs are available in silver, black, or white finishes, offering not only durability but also aesthetic flexibility. The vandal-resistant shield and heavy-duty injection-molded polycarbonate lens ensure high resistance to physical impacts, chemicals, and corrosion, making the units well-suited for environments such as chemical plants, refineries, offshore platforms, and food processing facilities. The housing is rated NEMA 4X and IP66, indicating its suitability for outdoor and wet locations and its protection against dust, water jets, and environmental exposure.
Certified for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations (Groups A, B, C, and D), the UX LED exit signs meet stringent standards such as UL50, UL844, UL924, and UL1598A, and are compliant with the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101 Section 5-9), the National Electrical Code, OSHA, and the NSF Splash Zone for food processing applications. This makes them ideal for use in areas where the presence of flammable gases or vapors may occur under abnormal or accidental conditions and where emergency signage must remain functional and legible at all times.
The UX LED exit signs are designed for versatility and ease of installation. They feature field-configurable LED output that allows users to select red or green lettering and directional chevrons to suit specific building requirements. Mounting options include pendant and universal surface configurations. The wide operating temperature range—spanning from -40°C to +50°C for UX6 models and -30°C to +50°C for UX7 models—ensures performance in both cold and hot climate zones.
For added functionality, the self-powered versions come standard with long-life nickel-cadmium batteries and an integrated self-diagnostic system that monitors operational health and ensures compliance without requiring manual checks. Brown-out protection safeguards the battery during power fluctuations and reduces maintenance efforts and costs.
The UX LED exit sign series exemplifies a balance of rugged construction, energy efficiency, and code compliance, making it a reliable solution for emergency egress lighting in hazardous and industrial applications.
