STORAGE and HANDLING
The Jerguson LED Explosion Proof Illuminator
meets or exceeds all applicable specifications when
shipped from the factory.
All units should be inspected upon receipt to ensure
that no damage has been incurred during transit. If
there has been damage, a claim should be filed with
the carrier immediately. Unit should be stored in an
area protected from the elements and corrosive
fumes, in a secure manner where they can neither
fall, nor be struck by other objects. Care should be
taken to protect the window and the end connections
from damage. Avoid placing any objects directly
on the light at any time.
COMPONENTS
There are three main components that make up the
LED illuminator: the light strip, the power supply,
and the cable connecting these two main pieces.
The cable may have more than one piece depending
on the required distance between the illuminator and
the power supply. Questions regarding acceptable
applications should be directed to The Clark-
Reliance Corporation.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: All lights are tagged with the
service conditions for that particular unit. These
specifications are located on the Jerguson tag on
the power supply housing, and are contained in
the “Specifications” section of this manual. Do
not use or refer to specifications listed on red
label on the power supply housing. They are
specifications for generic use. Review the ratings
prior to installation and again prior to start-up,
to ensure proper operation in the installed
environment. Should there be any doubt as to
the applicability of a unit for the installed
environment, consult the factory before placing
the unit into service.
Note: All installation steps should be
performed by a qualified technician and should
be executed in accordance with all applicable
national and local codes.
The light and power supply should be checked to
ensure that they contain no foreign matter, and that
the end connections are clean, undamaged, and in
line with existing conduit.
Step by step instructions:
1) Loosen the set screws on the mounting
brackets and align the cut out on the
mounting bracket so that the distance
between the two mounting brackets line up
with the desired bolt heads on the liquid level
gage.(See Figure 1)
2) Place one side of both mounting brackets
under one side of the gage cover and then
using a rolling motion, snap the other two
halves of the mounting bracket to the other
side of the gage.(See Figure 1)
3) Open the cover of the power supply housing.
Insert the AC Line wires into the housing and
connect to the “AC IN” terminal block. A
ground screw is located inside the enclosure
if required. CAUTION: The DC output is
pre-wired. If this connection is removed
during installation, reconnect the “AC IN”
and “DC OUT” to the proper positions.
Failure to do so will result in permanent
damage to the power supply.
4) IMPORTANT: The customer must have a
“sealing fitting” in the conduit supplying
power to the light’s power supply within
18” of the power supply.

5) If the cable will not reach the power supply,
contact your local representative for the
required extension cable.
CAUTION: Verify that the area is free of
flammables.
6) Replace the cover on the power supply
housing.
7) Switch “ON” the power supply making sure
the Illuminator is functioning properly, with
all LED’s illuminated.
8) If the LED’s do not illuminate, remove the
cover on the power supply once the power as
been turned on. An LED will be lit if it is
wired correctly. See Figure 2, Detail “A”
9) If the LED in the power supply is not lit,
check the power source and the connection
before continuing.
Any additional components must be installed prior
to the customer’s sealing fitting.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
This power supply is fused for AC protection.
In the event of a large voltage surge, the fuse may
release, causing no output voltage. Replace the fuse
with Clark-Reliance P/N E-F-DIN-F400MA only.
(See figure 2)
OPERATION
The LED illuminator can run continuously.
The operating life of LED lights exceed 100,000
hours under normal conditions.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Keep window on the front of the light clean
using commercial glass cleaners, such as Windex ®
or similar. Never use harsh abrasives, wire brushes,
metal scrapers, or any material that could scratch
the window. The window may be cleaned while the
unit is in operation.
The light may be removed while the unit is in
operation during inspection or maintenance of the
customer’s gage glass. The Illuminator may also be
disconnected from the power supply, if desired.
Disconnect the cord at the supplied screw connector
adjacent to the power supply. The plant power
going to the power supply does not need to be
disconnected.
