Model G-LED Global Series LED Beacon

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Safety Messages to Installers and Users

It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This
beacon is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar
with and will follow all applicable national and local codes in the country of
use.

This beacon should be considered a part of the warning system and not the
entire warning system.

The selection of the mounting location for the beacon, its controls and the
routing of the wiring are to be accomplished under the direction of the
facilities engineer and the safety engineer. In addition, listed below are some
other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

• Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this
equipment.

• To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is
applied. Failure to observe this warning may lead to serious injury or
death.

• Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety in hazardous locations may be
endangered if additional openings or other alterations are made in units

specically designed for use in these locations.

• Do not connect this beacon to the system when power is on.

• After installation, ensure that all threaded joints are properly tightened.

• Keep the unit tightly closed when in operation.

• After installation, test the beacon system to ensure that it is operating
properly.

• After testing is complete, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all
personnel.

• Brass inserts have the potential to store charge when they are not
plugged. Consideration should be taken to prevent these from becoming
a sparking hazard.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

• The lens guard has the potential to store charge. Consideration should be
taken to prevent this from becoming a sparking hazard.

• Establish a procedure to routinely check the beacon system for proper
activation and operation.

• Maximum ash frequency is 90 FPM.

• This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; Class III or non-hazardous
locations only.

• WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do not disconnect the
equipment unless power has been switched off or unless the area is
known to be non-hazardous.

• WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do not remove or replace the
fuse when energized.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in
property damage, serious injury, or death.

With respect to the potential electrostatic charging hazard as mentioned in the

certicate “Specic Conditions of Use”, under normal conditions of use, these
devices are for xed installations and not generally in contact with people.

The risk of ignition is low. In addition, maintenance, cleaning, and extreme
environmental factors (ex. high velocity dust laden atmospheres or high pressure
steam) should be taken into account by the end user, using local Explosive
Atmosphere (Ex) Electrical installations design, selection, inspection, and
maintenance Codes and Standards. Cleaning of the devices should only be done

with a damp cloth.

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Specic Conditions of Use:

1. The Modular Visual LED has external non-metallic surfaces which may
provided a potential electrostatic charging hazard.
See the manufacturer’s instructions for further information.

2. The Modular Visual LED has metallic components in the non-metallic
walls of the enclosure which can store electrical charge and therefore
may provide a potential electrostatic charging hazard. The metallic
brass inserts have a capacitance of 14 pF. The metallic guard has a
capacitance of 18 pF. See the manufacturer’s instructions for further
information.

cULus Zone Certications:

Models that contain the Ex e increased safety (E-box) are not cULus Zone
certied and not suitable for use in Class, Zone locations. Only the following
models are certied: G-LED-DC-D-x, G-LED-DC-T-x, G-LED-AC-D-x,
and G-LED-AC-T-x. Please disregard any references to the E-box when
using these instructions for Class, Zone locations.

These models use protections:

Class I, Zone 1, AEx db IIC T3

Zone 21, AEx tb IIIC T3/200°C IP66 (Tamb= -55°C to +70°C)

Ex db IIC T3

Ex tb IIIC T3/200°C IP66 (Tamb= -55°C to +70°C)

Unpacking the Beacon

EXPLOSION HAZARD: A damaged lens can lead to explosions, causing
serious injury or death. If a lens is damaged, it must be replaced.

After unpacking the beacon, examine it for damage that may have occurred
in transit. If it has been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it.
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. If any parts are

missing, please call Federal Signal Customer Support at [phone] or

Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Creating Combination Fixtures in the Field

The Federal Signal Global Series Ex de products can be connected together

in the eld using interchangeable E-box end caps and a proprietary coupling

system. The proprietary coupling system allows for simple and cost
effective, wiring from product to product, often eliminating the need for
expensive Ex wiring practices and Ex rated glands.

Figure 1 Beacon and sounder combination xture

The E-box is available only when factory installed on an Ex d unit or when
used as a E-box spacer adjoining an existing E-box. Refer to the accessories

listed on page 26 for available options. When creating certain xture

combinations, it is necessary to replace the E-box end caps before mounting

the product. If you are creating combination xtures, refer to instruction
manual 25500259 for specic instructions and details.

A note about combination xtures: If the product is Ex db marked, it is for

use in gas atmospheres. If the product is Ex db e marked, it uses increased­safety terminal enclosures and is for use in gas atmospheres. The product is
Ex tb marked for use in dust atmospheres.
