Evacuation signal Emergency Exit left door COFAN

Evacuation signal indicating Emergency Exit through the right door with the pictogram and text COFAN. It is a high-quality emergency sign that is easy to install. The sign is used to mark buildings, auditoriums, companies, and factories to indicate the areas designated for exit or evacuation. The direction of the sign indicates the left side with an arrow in a white pictogram.

The sign is made with a layer of photoluminescent pigment (after absorbing light, the product emits it in the dark, so it does not require any electrical source and can be charged an indefinite number of times).

MAXIMUM VIEWING DISTANCE

• Printed on the sign.

To calculate the necessary dimensions of a sign, the following formula will be applied, up to a maximum distance of 50 m:

S≥ L2 /2000

“S” represents the surface area of the sign in square meters, and “L” the distance in meters from which the sign can be perceived.

STORAGE, CLEANING, AND CONSERVATION

The working temperature should not exceed 45º C. Higher temperatures may deform the support material.

The optimal storage temperature should be between 15º C and 25º C; with a humidity of 10/50%.

Cleaning methods; avoid using abrasive products. It is recommended to clean them with water and neutral detergents.

The technical building code – Basic document on fire safety requires that photoluminescent signage must comply with UNE 23035.

To maintain the functionality for which the signaling systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends keeping the signs free of dust, dirt, or any residue or object that may obstruct visibility and identification.

For cleaning, it is advisable to use soapy solutions preferably, avoiding the use of solvents or abrasive products that could damage the surface of the sign.

Photoluminescent signs should be placed in such a way that they receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

According to RD 513/2017 (TABLE III), luminescent signaling systems must undergo an annual inspection/review conducted by specialized personnel from the manufacturer, a maintenance company, or by the user or owner of the installation.

Once the useful life period of the signs that make up the signaling system has elapsed, an inspection of these elements will be carried out following the guidelines set out in RD 513/2017 and UNE 23035-2.

SIGN INSTALLATION

Check our blog to learn how to install a sign or poster: https://www.sekureco.eu/blog/76_consejos-de-instalacion-de-senales-de-seguridad.html

The RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION HEIGHT ranges from 2 to 2.50 meters, always maintaining a distance of 0.30 meters from the ceiling.

Photoluminescent signs should be positioned to receive energy from a natural or artificial light source to ensure their proper functioning.

The FIXING of the signaling element must be done on a firm surface free of dirt.

The sign can be secured using MECHANICAL ELEMENTS (screws, rivets, etc.) or ADHESIVES (mounting adhesive, glues, silicones…) carefully, avoiding soiling the visible surface or deforming it.

The EVACUATION signage should be installed in such a way that from any point likely to be occupied in the premises, an evacuation can be initiated, so it is recommended to install directional signs at all routes, intersections, stairs, etc. that serve as a pathway.

The signage on DOORS will be placed above the door frame with the appropriate label (“EXIT”, “EMERGENCY EXIT”, “NO EXIT”, ...).

The signage for FIRE protection, rescue, and/or assistance will be carried out on the same elements to be signaled whenever possible.
