We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product
, in all locations especially in outdoor areas
where weatherproofing may be required. Universal voltage driver permits operation at 1
2
0V - 277V AC, 50 or 60Hz
stepped down to 24V DC
.
Warning:
Check product label for correct input voltage!
Attach supply line wires to the appropriate light fixture wires as shown
in the diagram
Secure each pair of wires according to the diagram. Utilize a junction box or
similar device and take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all
connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with the
unit. Ensure the unit is properly grounded and that wiring is done according to
all local and national electrical/building codes.
This explosion proof portable lighting system is equipped with 100 feet of 12/3 chemical and abrasion resistant SOOW cord
that is fitted with an explosion proof cord cap for easy connection to explosion proof outlets. There is an additional 5 feet of
12/3 SOOW cord between the encapsulated transformer and the explosion proof cord cap. Plug options include a 5-15 15
amp straight blade plug for use with 120V explosion proof outlets, a 5-20 20 amp straight blade plug for use with 120V
explosion proof outlets, or a 6-20 20 amp straight blade plug for use with 220-240V explosion proof outlets. These explosion
proof cord caps are designed to lock into compatible twist lock receptacles by twisting the plug body until an audible click is
heard, which indicates the plug is securely connected. Once locked into place this plug will not accidentally pull out.
Additional configurations include general area cord caps, weatherproof cord caps, shore power cord caps, weatherproof
NEMA 3R/4 in-line step-down transformers, and explosion proof NEMA 7/9 in-line step-down transformers.

Exp Cord Cap
Position device near work area for operation. Run cable to nearby power
source. Insert and twist-lock explosion-proof plug into a compatible receptacle within
the hazardous environment. See
plug operation
below.
PLUG OPERATION
Electrical connection between plug and compatible receptacle is accomplished
after plug fully inserts into receptacle and rotated clockwise.
1.
Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug pin and
receptacle face. Insert plug straight all the way into receptacle until it
cannot go further.
2.
Rotate plug clockwise limit (37º), this closes internal contacts and
completes circuit. This also mechanically locks plug into receptacle so it
cannot be pulled out.
3.
To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counterclockwise, pull plug
straight out.
VOLTAGE
The C1D1 explosion proof step-down transformer installed in-line provides the ability to automatically monitor and adjust
input current to maintain the correct LED voltage levels regardless of input levels across a specific range. These
transformers can operate on current ranging from 90 to 305V AC or 127 to 431V DC without any modifications necessary as
a result. This ability to sense and adjust input current also provides protection against voltage spikes and drops that can
occur in electrical systems which would otherwise result in burning up or premature LED failure without it. The inline
transformer then steps down the input voltage to 24V DC to power the explosion proof light. We also offer an additional
347-480V high voltage, 125-250V DC, and 0-10V dimmable versions of this explosion proof LED light fixture.
FIELD SERVICEABILITY
This explosion proof LED light fixture is field serviceable. All major internal components can be purchased from Larson
Electronics and installed by a licensed electrician with basic tools. With most explosion proof fixtures, the fixture must be
returned to the manufacturer for repair work, which presents downtime and long turn around times for repair work. Larson
Electronics addresses this issue with the Iron X series with field serviceability, allowing operators to perform service work
without having to return the fixture to the manufacturer in the event of damage or failure.
