Safety Instructions for Luminaire Housing
WARNING:
• Before installation, ensure that the unit complies with the hazardous area classication. Refer to luminaire housing nameplate,
located on exterior of heat sink, for suitability in specic hazardous locations.
• Do not open or remove luminaire housing when supply is ON or with the circuit energized .
• To avoid burning hands, allow luminaire housing to cool down prior to maintenance.
• Do not use this luminaire housing on ungrounded systems. Failure to ground the luminaire housing can result in an electric shock,
which may be fatal.
• Disconnect the luminaire housing from the supply circuit before opening to reduce the risk of ignition in hazardous atmospheres.
Keep tightly closed when in operation.
• Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
• De-energize the unit ve (5) minutes before opening.
• Do not open luminaire housing when explosive atmospheres are present.
• Use two safety cables for installations experiencing high vibrations.
CAUTION:
• Do not look directly at the LEDs when energized.
• Lens cleaning instructions: Wipe/clean from the outside only with a moist cloth.
• Do not replace any component in hazardous area. Move the luminaire housing into the area known to be non-hazardous.
• When installing in a hazardous location, It is necessary that the wiring compartment hatch and all certied conduit plugs are
tightly secured and all luminaire housing ttings (mounting bracket & glass lens) are tightly secured to the LED housing to prevent
water and dust entry.
NOTICE:
• Do not touch the LEDs; touching could leave oily deposits, causing hot spots and potential premature failure.
• The LED glass lens should be cleaned periodically from the outside only with a moist cloth to maintain lighting efciency.

Wiring
WARNING: The luminaire housing must be grounded as required by the National Electrical Code® (Paragraph 410.21 and Article
250) or Canadian Electrical Code (Rule 30-500 and Section 10). Verify that ground continuity has been established by using an Ohm
meter or other suitable testing equipment before energizing the luminaire housing. Failure to properly ground the luminaire housing will
create an electric shock hazard, which can cause serious injury or death.
Please use all supply wires including remote switch wires and through feed wires with temperature rating 90°C and rated 300V
minimum. (105°C when ambient is 65°C).
Luminaire Housing With Conduits
The Linear xture is threaded with 1/2" NPT OR 3/4" NPT OR M20 on both sides of the wiring compartment to assemble the conduit
and conduit seal as shown in Figure 5. Install appropriate seal ttings at 18" from entrance of the wiring compartment. Ensure that the
required seal ttings are Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D rated.
FIGURE 5: RIGMASTER LUMINAIRE HOUSING WITH CONDUITS
1. Make sure power is switched off before wiring the luminaire housing.
2. Wire Preparation:
A. Wiring with Individual Wires : Strip the insulation of individual wire by approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) Installation with
Conductor Cordgrip:
3. For standard Wiring: Open the luminaire housing wiring compartment by loosening the hatch with the help of screw driver as
shown in the Figure 6B. This will allow access to 3 wire. Connect electrical power supply leads to the 3 wire conductors coming
out of wiring compartment with the help of wire nuts supplied with luminaire housing as shown in Figure 7. After completing the
wiring insert wire nuts back in the wiring compartment. For Wiring diagram refer Figure 8/Figure 9.
