suspended, utilising the two tapped holes on base of body, Normal operation is mains supply “ON” LEDS
illuminated.
They are mainly used in harsh environments and are constructed using a corrosion resistant glass reinforced
polyester body attached to an injection moulded polycarbonate diffuser by hinges and a special clamp. The
control gear and LED strips are mounted on a removable tray which for maintenance has hanging straps.
Note: The ratings are listed in Tables A & B
1.1 Application
The luminaire is designed to be safe in normal operation. The luminaire should not be used where there are
environmental, vibration or shock conditions above the normal for fixed installations. The gaskets should not be
exposed to hydrocarbons in liquid or high concentration vapour states. The luminaire is suitable for applications
where Category 3 apparatus can be used for Gas and Dust. The type examination does not address suitability
for portable applications.
2.0 Storage
To optimise lifetime, luminaires should be stored in cool dry conditions preventing ingress of moisture and
condensation between -15°C to +50°C
