Illumination:

 Illumination 

is accomplished with 

incandescent or compact 

fluorescent F Series fixtures. 

The F Series fixtures must be 

ordered separately.

Housing: 

Copper-free cast 

aluminum enclosure designed 

to withstand the pressure 

of explosions generated 

by internal arc without 

propagating them into the 

hazardous atmosphere. 

Suitable for use in Class I, Div. 

1, Groups C & D, Zones 0, 1 & 

2, Groups IIA, IIB + H

IIC; Class II, Div. 1, Groups E, 

F & G; Class II, Div. 2, Groups 

F & G; and Class III hazardous 

location areas. Enclosure 

and cover are constructed 

separately. Cover is threaded 

to allow easy attachment and 

removal. Enclosure includes 

three threaded openings for 

3/4” rigid conduit — one for 

AC input and two for mounting 

hazardous fixtures.

Operating Temperature 

Range: 

Pure Lead Units

65°F (19°C) to 85°F (30°C)

Nickel Cadmium Units

20°F (-7°C) to 95°F (35°C) 

Electronics: 

120/277 VAC 

dual voltage input with 

surge-protected, solid-state 

circuitry provides for a reliable 

charging system. HC85P uses 

a temperature compensating 

charger. Charging system is 

complete with low voltage 

disconnect, AC lockout, 

brownout protection, AC 

indicator lamp and test switch. 

HC14N power pack operates 

7 watt compact fluorescent  

hazardous fixtures in both 

AC and emergency modes. 

HC28N, HC50N and HC85P 

power units operate 6 and 12 

volt incandescent hazardous 

fixtures in emergency mode 

only.
