Photoluminescent Running Man exit sign without arrow

Photoluminescent Running Man exit sign without arrow

This photoluminescent exit sign with a Running Man pictogram and no arrow is used to identify an emergency exit when the evacuation path leads directly to the door or exit point. The base text specifies that this universal pictogram is multilingual because it contains no text, and that it can complement an existing emergency lighting system. Several formats, materials and options are available in the drop-down menu; customer service can also help you choose a sign suited to the building. This sign does not replace the installation of an electrically connected exit luminaire when one is required.

Product code: EI308PH

Use of the no-arrow Running Man pictogram for emergency exits

The no-arrow Running Man pictogram is generally used above or near an exit door when the direction is obvious. In the base text, it is presented as the pictogram installed above the exit door, meaning that passing through this door brings people outside the building. Arrow versions are used instead to mark the route through corridors, stairs or areas where the direction must be clarified.

Photoluminescent exit sign used with emergency lighting

The photoluminescent material recharges with ambient light and remains visible for about 5 hours afterwards, according to the base text. This feature can help clarify the direction to take during a power failure or in lower-visibility conditions. The sign may also be used temporarily during work, under the applicable site conditions, but it remains complementary signage and not an automatic replacement for required equipment.

Formats and materials for the photoluminescent exit sign

The base text indicates that this sign may be offered in styrene, aluminum or self-adhesive vinyl. It also mentions two-sided V-shaped signs and wall-perpendicular L-shaped signs, depending on the available options. The 9 x 6 in and 12 x 8 in formats are offered, and the 12 x 8 in styrene format is presented as a popular choice for indoor installation.

Choosing the right material for indoor or outdoor Running Man signs

The material choice depends on the workplace, reading distance and installation location. Styrene can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV rays. Aluminum is often preferred outdoors or in areas where impacts are possible, while self-adhesive vinyl is generally more durable indoors.

Installation and maintenance of the no-arrow exit sign

The base text notes that styrene or aluminum signs can be removed during painting work, which may help avoid replacing the entire sign. In a corridor, an L-shaped sign can help with wall-perpendicular visibility, while a V-shaped sign can be seen from 180 degrees in a large room or near an intersection. Final installation must always follow the applicable building requirements.

Special-order options for photoluminescent exit signs

Please contact customer service for formats other than those offered in the boxes above, for English or bilingual signs, or for custom signage. The base text indicates that some special orders may require about four weeks before reception. This verification is useful when the building requires a specific combination of format, material, shape or direction.
