FE Series Nonmetallic Fluorescent Luminaires

Standard and Emergency Battery Back-Up. Increased Safety

ATEX/IECEx:

Zone 1 and 2 - 21 and 22

II 2 GD

IP66/67 – IK10

Applications

• Can be installed in hazardous areas designated as Zone 1 and
2 – 21 and 22.

• For use in locations where a high degree of corrosion resistance
is required.

• For indoor/outdoor use where protection against dirt, water and
moisture is necessary.

• Typical applications include oil reneries, petrochemical

facilities, pulp and paper mills, food processing plants,
warehouses, underground tunnels and general manufacturing
facilities.

Features

• Corrosion-resistant berglass reinforced polyester body and

hinged polycarbonate lens.

• High impact resistance housing (20 Joules – IK10) from -40 °C
to +55 °C (-40 °F to +131 °F) ambient temperature and wind

prole for use in extreme offshore and onshore environments.

• Latch assembly and elastomer gasket seals against water and
dust ingress, IP66/67.

• Easily accessed for maintenance using Allen key or straight
blade screwdriver.

• Central opening with unique patented release system to prevent
damage.

• Can be horizontally or vertically mounted.

mono-pin (Fa6) versions.

• Positive safety switch disconnects power to lamps and ballast
to allow maintenance in hazardous locations.

• Electronic multi-tap ballast 110 to 254 Vac/Vdc +/- 10% 50/60
Hz, for global applications. High power factor electronic ballast
(>0.95). EOL (End Of Life) protection in accordance to the latest
EN/IEC 60079-7 standard.

• Two channel ballast prevents dark areas by allowing one lamp
to remain lit if one fails.

• Ballast plug-in with Ex e connector for quick and error-free
maintenance.

• Available in 3 hour or 90 minute emergency versions, including
multi-tap ballast with built-in monthly self test. Test results
