The Larson Electronics EPLRL-50-16.4-HR-SWB is an Explosion Proof Reel for use in Class I, II and III rated combustible 

locations.  Equipped  with  50'  of  16/4  SOOW  cable,  the  unit  features  a  swivel  base  with  ball  bearings  which  facilitates 

rotation and pivoting. This reel is ideal for petroleum facilities, waste water treatment plants, grain storage and handling 

silos, paint booths, underground mines, chemical plants, and much more.

WIRING 
Standard pigtail(flying leads) wiring 

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 

600V.

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. 

INSTALLATION

Stretch Applications

The  cable  is  suspended  without  any  intermediate  support.  Stretch  reels  generally  require  a 

line pull  equal  to  two  times  the  weight  of  the  cable,  which  allows  approximately  10%  sag 

at  full extension. On long applications where sag cannot be tolerated, it is sometimes desirable 

to put supports at intervals of 5 to 10 feet.  

Drag

 Applications

The reel is mounted on a stationary object and is required to drag the cable over the surface to 

the reel. The cable is supported by the ground or some type of cable tray. 

Lift

 Applications

The cable is lifted vertically in lift applications. The reel is normally designed to handle only the total 

weight of the cable. Some lift applications may require a ball stop and ratchet to control the length 

of cable to be retracted.  

Retrieve

 Applications

The reel is mounted on the moving object and winds up or pays out the cable as the machine 

approaches or moves away from the fixed end. Retrieve applications can be elevated up to 4 feet 

from the cable support surface.
