c. Bracket Mount Models (Figures 3 and 5):
Unscrew the globe assembly from the wall bracket.
Install the mounting bracket using appropriate
hardware (not supplied) for the mounting surface.
Pull the field wiring through the mounting
bracket. Proceed to step 2.
2. Extend the required power source wiring down
through the mounting hood. See T able 2 for required
supply wire temperature ratings.
3. Refer to Figure 5. Loosen the (2) screws holding the
circuit block in place. Rotate and remove the circuit
block.
4. Connect field earth ground wire to ground screw
(Figure 5) or earth ground via conduit system.
5. Wire in accordance with Figures 4 and 5. The positive
(+) terminal is gold colored and the negative (-)
terminal is silver colored.
6. Replace circuit block and tighten two screws to hold
in place.
7. Install the fixture on the mounting hood, bracket or
box as applicable.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, keep assembly tightly closed
when circuits are energized.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, do not apply power to the unit
until installation has been completed and unit is
tightly assembled and secured.
Install this unit in accordance with the applicable requirements in the latest edition of the National Electrical Code
and Canadian Electrical Code.
NOTE: This unit must be mounted with the globe
vertically facing up or down.
1. Mount using the following applicable method.
a. Pendant Mount Models (Figures 1 and 5):
Unscrew the globe assembly from the mounting
hood and set aside. Install explosion-proof hanger
box (not supplied). Secure 3/4" (19 mm) NPT
threaded conduit (not supplied) to the box. Install
the hood on the conduit. Proceed to step 2.
b. Ceiling Mount Models (Figures 2 and 5):
Unscrew the globe assembly from the ceiling
mount box. Mount the ceiling box using
appropriate hardware (not supplied) suitable for
the mounting surface. Proceed to step 2.
8. Apply power to the unit and ensure proper function.

Disassemble the unit as follows (Figure 6):
1. Loosen the (3) guard screws and remove the guard.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, keep assembly tightly closed
when circuits are energized.
2. Loosen the globe and ring assembly set screw. Insert
a suitable tool into the notches in the globe and ring
assembly and loosen the assembly by prying in a
counterclockwise direction. Remove the ring and
globe assembly .

3. Refer to Table 1 for the correct replacement catalog
number and replace the necessary part.
4. T o replace, simply screw the unit on until it seats firmly
onto its gasket. Tighten the unit another 1/8 to 1/4
turn. Tighten the setscrew .
5. Reinstall the guard, where applicable, and secure using
the three supplied screws.
6. After the unit is assembled, apply power and make
sure the unit functions properly .
NOTE: DC polarity of circuit shown in supervisory state (signal inactive). Circuit polarity to reverse to activate signal.
Electrical supervision requires wire run to be broken at each device.
Device for constant input voltage. Do not connect to “coded” or pulsating voltage.
