IMPORTANT

• When installing in a hazardous location it is necessary that the optic be in place and that the unit be tightly closed.

• This fixture is designed for permanent installation in Class I, Div. 2, Class II, Div. 1 or marine locations in accordance with the

National Electric Code and all applicable local codes.

• DO NOT OPEN OR REMOVE FIXTURE WHILE IT IS ENERGIZED.

• DO NOT USE FIXTURE ON UN-GROUNDED CIRCUITS. Failure to ground this fixture can result in an electrical shock which

may be fatal.

• Optic and reflector should be cleaned periodically to maintain lighting efficiency.

• Orient hinges and latches 90° from the aiming direction desired for the angle reflector. This applies to ceiling, wall and

stanchion mounting hoods.
