Creating Combination Fixtures in the Field
The Federal Signal Global Series Ex de products can be connected
together in the field 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. 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 23 for available options. When
creating certain fixture combinations, it is necessary to replace the
E-box end caps before mounting the product. If you are creating
combination fixtures, refer to instruction manual 25500259 for
specific instructions and details.
A note about combination fixtures: If the product is Ex db marked,
it is for use in gas atmospheres. If the product is Ex db e marked,
it uses increased-safety terminal enclosures and is for use in
gas atmospheres. The product is Ex tb marked for use in dust
atmospheres.
