Champ

®

 DMVF(B) Series Luminaires are suitable for use in the following 

hazardous (classified) areas as defined by the National Electrical Code 
(NEC

®

) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC):

•  Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class I, Zone 2 II 

•  Class I, Zone 2, AEx nR II, Ex nR II

•  Class II, Groups E, F, G; Simultaneous Presence; Class III

Refer to the luminaire nameplate for specific classification information, 
maximum ambient temperature suitability, and corresponding operating 

temperature (T-Code). 

 

DMVF(B) Series Luminaire 4X / IP66 construction is designed for use 

indoors and outdoors in marine and wet locations, where moisture, dirt, 

corrosion, vibration, and rough usage may be present

DMVF(B) Series Luminaires are for use with a choice of voltages and 
require two 26 32, or 42 watt compact fluorescent lamps base type 
GX24q-3.

The DMVFB Series Emergency Luminaire is also supplied with an 
emergency ballast.  When AC power is interrupted, the luminaire 
switches to a built-in battery power supply (integral to the emergency 

ballast) to light one lamp, providing emergency lighting for a minimum 

of 90 minutes.  When AC power is restored, the luminaire automatically 
switches from battery power to AC power.  While operating on AC 

power, the luminaire circuitry recharges the battery.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock

, this 

product should be installed, inspected, and maintained by a 
qualified electrician only, in accordance with all applicable electrical 
codes.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock

:

  Be certain electrical power is OFF before and during installation and 

maintenance.

Luminaire must be supplied by a wiring system with an equipment 

grounding conductor.

To avoid burning hands:

 

Make sure refractor and lamp are cool when performing 
maintenance.

WARNING

To avoid explosion: 

Make sure the supply voltage is the same as the luminaire 
voltage.

Do not install where the marked operating temperatures exceed the 
ignition temperature of the hazardous atmosphere.

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

Install luminaire with lamp base up within 25º of vertical position.

Use only the lamp and wattage specified on the luminaire    
nameplate.

Use proper supply wiring as specified on the luminaire nameplate.

All gasket seals must be clean.

Before opening, electrical power to the luminaire must be turned off.  

Keep tightly closed when in operation.

INSTALLATION
Mounting

1.  Mount the cover module in its support position.

 

• 

Ceiling and Wall mount:  Mark and drill desired location  

 

on mounting surface.  Secure with 5/16” bolts or lag    

 

screws (not provided).

 

• 

Pendant, Stanchion and Quad mount: Securely thread  

 

onto the appropriate NPT size conduit.  Tighten  

 

 

setscrew located in the conduit hub.  See Figure 1.

Wiring

1.  Pull field wiring into cover module.

2.  Close all unused conduit entries with conduit plugs provided.  To 

prevent galling, lubricate conduit plugs with Cooper Crouse-Hinds 
HTL lubricant before installing.  Tighten plugs securely with at least 

three full threads engaged.

3.  Hang ballast housing on the cover module hinge hook.                     

See Figure 2.

4.  Connect supply wires to luminaire wire leads (or terminals) per 

the attached wiring diagrams using methods that comply with all 
applicable codes.  Tighten all electrical connections. 

5.  On DMVFB Series Emergency Luminaires, connect the emergency 

ballast connector (white/red wires).  See Figure 2.  This is 

disconnected to avoid discharging the battery during shipment.
