Emergency Egress Solutions

Blazing a pathway to safety

ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions enhances facility safety with LiteGuide, an egress lighting system that brightly illuminates and increases visibility of exit doors in low-light, no light or smoky conditions.

LiteGuide illuminates the perimeter of the door frame as well as the actual means of egress--the lock or exit device--giving a clear view of the entire doorway and turning the locking hardware into an easy target to push and exit the building. Ceiling-level EXIT signs are easily obscured by rising smoke and are often overlooked in the panic, confusion and poor visibility that accompany an emergency situation. LiteGuide compensates for these natural limitations of traditional exit signs, giving building owners a solution to a major life safety problem.

BEACON

Beacon is the next generation of technology in ASSA ABLOY’s family of LiteGuide products.Beacon features a built-in laser, strobe light, audible message and electroluminescent lamp all working in tandem to lead building occupants toward emergency exits.

The combination of audio and visual alerts provides the most comprehensive system for pointing out locations of emergency exits in low visibility conditions. Beacon connects to a building’s alarm system and when activated, emits a pulse of light and white noise followed by a recorded message. A laser is then beamed from the exit device, providing a path to the illuminated exit device touchbar.
