Compass CU2SQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Compass CU2SQ emergency light be wired on both 120V and 277V circuits?
The CU2SQ is a dual-voltage unit, rated 120/277V AC, so the same part number works on a 120V branch circuit in an office corridor or a 277V circuit in a commercial panel. That matters if you are standardizing one unit across a building with mixed voltages instead of stocking two SKUs.
2) How long will the Compass CU2SQ run on battery during a power outage?
Standard runtime is 90 minutes on the integral nickel cadmium battery, which is the UL-recognized emergency duration. On Remote Capacity (RC) models with no remote heads connected, the unit carries a minimum of 120 minutes. Adding remote lamp heads draws the battery down toward the 90-minute figure.
3) How many remote heads can I run off the CU2SQ remote capacity model?
The remote capacity version drives either two Compass CIR/COR Series single remote lamp heads or one CIR/COR double remote. That is the full load, so if a stairwell landing needs more coverage than that, you are looking at a second unit rather than more heads on one.
4) Is the Compass CU2SQ approved for a parking garage or an unheated stairwell?
It is UL924 Listed for damp location, so it is suited to covered but unconditioned spaces where condensation is a factor. It is not a wet-location or outdoor-exposed unit. For a truly wet or weather-exposed opening you need a fixture rated for wet location instead.
5) Does this emergency light meet the life safety code requirements an inspector will check?
The CU2SQ is UL924 Listed and referenced to NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), and OSHA. Those are the listings a building inspector or AHJ typically looks for on an emergency egress light in a commercial occupancy.
6) Is there a self-testing version so my maintenance crew doesn't have to press test buttons monthly?
Yes, a self-test/self-diagnostic version is offered. It runs monthly and annual self-tests for 90 minutes and flags faults on the battery, the charger, the integral LED lamps, and any connected remote heads. Manual test cycles of 30 seconds, 15 minutes, and 90 minutes are also available. For a property manager running a lot of units, that replaces a manual log walk.
7) Can this LED emergency light be mounted on a ceiling, or is it wall only?
Either. The CU2SQ uses a snap-together housing that mounts to a wall or a ceiling, and the square lamp heads are fully adjustable so you can aim the beam down a corridor or across a landing from whichever surface you mount to.
8) Do I need the remote capacity model, or will the standard CU2SQ cover my space?
Decide by whether one fixture location can light the whole egress path. The standard unit's two adjustable square heads light the area around the fixture. Pick the RC version when you need illumination in an adjacent room, a landing above or below, or a windowless space with no circuit for its own unit, since it will drive up to two Compass CIR/COR single remote heads from the same battery. RC units without remotes installed carry a 120 minute minimum runtime.
9) What is the CU2SQ housing made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic corridor?
Housing and lamp heads are high-impact, UL flame-rated thermoplastic in white. That construction is aimed at stairwells, hallways, offices, and general commercial spaces where a unit takes knocks from carts and ladders.
10) Are the lamp heads on the Compass CU2SQ aimable after installation?
The square LED lamp heads are fully adjustable and glare-free, so you can aim them down a corridor or at a stair run once the unit is snapped up and wired. Useful when the mounting location is fixed by an existing junction box but the path that needs light is off to one side.
