To avoid electric shock:

• Be certain electrical power is OFF before and during installation and maintenance.

• Luminaire must be connected to a wiring system with an equipment-grounding conductor.

To avoid explosion:

• Make sure the supply voltage is within the luminaires’ voltage rating.

• Ensure the marked T rating is less than the ignition temperature of the Hazardous Atmosphere.

• Do not operate in ambient temperatures above those indicated on the luminaire nameplate.

• Do not operate if the lens is cracked or damaged. All fasteners should be properly se ated.

INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect power prior to performing maintenance!

MAINTENANCE

Caution: To avoid personal injury, disconnect power to the light and allow the unit to cool down before

performing maintenance.
Warning: No user serviceable parts inside of fixture. Risk of electric shock. Removal of the lens will void

the warranty.

1. Perform visual, mechanical and electrical inspections on a regular basis. We recommend routine

checks to be made on a yearly basis. Frequency of use and environment should determine this. It is
recommended to follow an Electrical Preventive Maintenance Program as described in NFPA 70B:
Recommended practice for Electrical Equipment.

2. The lens should be cleaned periodically as needed to ensure continued photometric performance.

Clean the lens with
cleaner.

3. Inspect the cooling fins on the luminaire to ensure that they are free of any obstructions or

contamination (i.e. excessive dust build-up). Clean with a non-abrasive cloth if needed.

4. Do not operate if the lens is cracked or damaged. All fasteners should be properly se ated.

a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If not sufficient, use mild soap or a liquid

WARNING: ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY MUST BE “OFF” BEFORE AND DURING INSTALL AT ION

AND MAINTENANCE. INSTALLATION AND MAINT ENANCE PRO CEDURE MUST BE PERF O RMED BY A
TRAINED AND COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

If any part of the plug appears to be missing, broken, or show signs of damage—discontinue use immediately!
This condition could cause serious or fatal personal injury due to electrocution and/or equipment damage.
Repair with the proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.

During the inspections, perform the following steps:

1. Inspect all contact wire terminals for tightness and re-torque if necessary. NOT E: Discoloration due to

excessive heat is an indicator of potential issues and should be thoroug hly investigat ed and r epaired as

necessary.

2. Explosion Proof Plugs: Check grounding and bonding for correct installation. Secure connections and
retorque if necessary.

3. Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if necessary.

4. Clean exterior surfaces to ensure the nameplates remain legible.

5. Inspect cable grip tightness to ensure proper cord/cable gripping.

6. Inspect all parts and replace those which are broken or excessively worn.

7. Check the contacts for signs of excessive arcing or burning and replace if necessary.

USE AND CARE

Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety of the extension cord and could affect the life
of the equipment. Always check damaged or worn out parts before using the unit. When extension cord is not
in use, store it in a secure place. Inspect for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
