EXPLOSION HAZARD - Substitution of components may impair suitability
for Class I, Division 2.
Keep tightly closed when in operation.
The Model 225XL Electraray Light is a UL listed certified visual signal for hazardous locations and has been investigated by Underwriters Laboratories as meeting Type
4X and IP66 enclosure requirements. Units are available for operation at 100-265 VAC,
50/60Hz, 0.21A or 24VDC/AC 50/60Hz, 0.38A. The 225XL can be supplied with colors
of red, amber, green and blue. The 225XL is factory set to operate 60 flashes/minute.
There is an option to operate the LED in steady on mode. Consult the factory for details.
II. INSTALLATION.
A. Unpacking.
Damaged domes can lead to explosions that could result in serious injury or
death.
After unpacking the Model 225XL, examine it for damage that may have
occurred in transit. If the equipment has been damaged, do not attempt to install or
operate the unit. File a claim immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of the
damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and tags before removing or
discarding them. Disposal of all shipping materials must be carried out in accordance
with national and local codes and standards.
B. Mounting.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not install this product in a hazardous location if the operating temperature exceeds the hazardous atmosphere’s
ignition temperature. Before proceeding, consult the product nameplate and
determine that the unit’s operating temperature DOES NOT exceed the hazardous atmosphere’s ignition temperature.
NOTE
To comply with NEC Section 300-14, which requires a minimum of 6 inches of
free conductor at a junction, when mounting the Model 225XL, the mounting
pipe used to join the unit to a splice box should be no longer than 10 inches.

NOTE
The Model 225XL has provisions for mounting to 1/2” pipe and may be
mounted in any position. Before mounting, ensure that the mating threads
are clean. Thread the fixture onto the 1/2” pipe.
To prevent the connection from loosening, tighten the fixture to a minimum of
5ft.-lbs. (6.8Nm) after threading onto the pipe.
Wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical
Code and the local authority having jurisdiction.
The Model 225XL LED Beacon should be installed per the NEC or CEC,
STATE and LOCAL CODES. Alternate installation locations and/or orientations should
only be performed with the approval of the authority having jurisdiction. In addition,
the unit can be mounted using an optional ceiling mount or optional wall mount.
C. Electrical Connections for all Models.
Wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical
Code and the local authority having jurisdiction.

additional openings or other alterations are made to the internal components or housing.
• The nameplate should NOT be obscured, as it contains cautionary and/or
other information of importance to maintenance personnel. Ensure the
nameplate remains readable if the housing’s exterior is painted.
• If the dome is damaged in any way, it MUST be replaced.
• After performing any maintenance, test the light system to ensure that it

A. Cleaning Enclosure.
NOTE
Maintenance procedures sometimes require fixtures to be hosed down for
good housekeeping. The fixture should be cleaned periodically to maintain
maximum light output. Only mild, nonabrasive cleaning agents should be
used. The dome should be regularly inspected for scratches and chips, and, if
damaged, must be replaced.
