3.1.2 Hybrid Mixtures – Gas and Dust
Where hybrid mixtures exist as defined in EN 1127 as a potentially explosive atmosphere, consideration should
be given to verifying that the maximum surface temperature of the luminaire is below the ignition temperature of
the hybrid mixture.
3.2 Tools
No 1/2 Philips/Pozidriv/T20 Torx screwdrivers
3mm and 5mm flat blade screwdriver
Spanners for installing cable glands. Pliers, knife, wire strippers/cutters.
3.3 Electrical Supplies
The standard unit is rated for a nominal 110V-254V AC 50Hz or 60Hz. A maximum voltage variation of +6%/-6%
on the nominal is expected. (The safety limit for T rating is +10%). Equipment must not be operated outside of
the rated voltage of the control gear. The lamp supply is regulated therefore the light output over the supply
range is constant.
3.4 LED Array & Driver
This product is fitted with LED lamps that can last in excess of 80000 hours. Therefore in many applications
replacement of the LED array will be unnecessary. If replacement is required ensure mains supplies are isolated
before commencing work. Remove the front cover and then remove the LED array mounting plate by
disconnecting the cables. In the event that the LED Driver needs replacement first disconnect the cables then
remove the Torx head screws. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly making sure that the polarity is correct
that the earths are connected and also ensuring the gasket/glass mating surfaces are clean and cables are not
trapped.
3.5 Mounting
Luminaires should be installed where access for maintenance is practical and in accordance with any lighting
design information provided for the installation. Mounting is by 4 holes in the base of the body casting external to
the gasket. These should be secured with lock washers or self-locking nuts and bolts and are accessed by
removing the front cover. Any mounting attitude may be used.
3.6 Cabling and Cable Glands
3.6.1 Cables
The maximum conductor size is 6mm². Internal earth point is provided next to the main terminal block. 300/500V
cable ratings are adequate and no special internal construction is necessary. The standard looping cable size is
up to 6mm². The selection of cable size must be suitable for the fuse rating. Terminals are supplied with
suitability for looping. Where looping is used the maximum current is 16A. Terminals are accessed by removing
the front cover and LED array. Maximum cable temperature rise is 20oC above ambient.
3.6.2 Cable Glands
The installer and user must take responsibility for the selection of cables, cable glands and seals. Three tapped
cable entries are provided, two with a plug and seal suitable for permanent use, the other with a travelling plug
not suitable for use in service. Sealing plugs are similarly rated and a tool must be used for their removal. Cable
entries are M20x1.5. Cable glands and sealing plugs must have ATEX approval or be certified to EN60079-0.
For installation outside the EU suitable cable glands in accordance with IEC 60079-0 will meet the technical
requirements.
The cable and gland assembly when installed must maintain a minimum of IP54 rating.
The cable glands must be suitable for the application. Where brass cable glands are used in a corrosive
environment, cadmium or nickel plating should be used.
4.0 Inspection and maintenance
Visual inspection should be carried out at a minimum of 12 monthly intervals and more frequently if conditions
are severe; refer to EN/IEC 60079-17.
