•PEOPLE WITH PACEMAKERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR PHYSICIAN(S) BEFORE USE. ELECTROMAGNETIC
FIELDS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HEART PACEMAKER COULD CAUSE PACEMAKER INTERFERENCE OR
PACEMAKER FAILURE.
•KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM MAGNET(S) WHEN MOUNTING AS INJURY COULD OCCUR.
OPERATING
Before operation, confirm that the power source will provide the correct voltage
indicated on the product nameplate. Ensure the receptacle will accept the cord cap
attached to the light.
Check product nameplate for Ratings and Approvals.
Affix light in the desired location and run its power cord to a compatible power source.
Mount light to a metal surface that can structurally support the load. Eight 100lb. grip
magnets hold the fixture in any position. The magnets are arranged in groups of two
and attached to the light via adjustable U-brackets, allowing operators to adjust the
magne ts to match the curvature of tank walls or other curved surfaces. Simply loosen
the U-brackets, attach the magnetic mounting brackets to the desired surface, tighten
the magnetic brackets, then adjust the lamp assembly from the bracket. This bracket
system is constructed of non-sparking aluminum for light weight and durability, and the
simple swing hinge design allows operators to easily adjust the lamp assembly to
position the unit as a pedestal lamp if desired. Always ensure all safety requirements
are followed for the haza rdous area.
Avoid excess tension between cord and light to reduce stress on the magnets. Mark
area as needed to avoid potential trip hazards or cable snags causing the light to
dismount.
The light head can be adjusted by loosening the screws on each side. Once loose, position the light head in

the desired angle and tighten the screws to hold light in place. Use caution while adjusting as to not pinch your
fingers between light and mount.
This light is “instant-on” once plugged in to a live circuit. Do not face the light while energizing to avoid direct
eye exposure.
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE Do not look at the face of or directly into the light when plugging in or when
illuminated.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that you implement a standard monthly or more frequent preventive maintenance schedule.
Safety requires a thorough visual examination of the unit for physical damage that might cause a spark or
result in the ignition of hazardous atmospheres.
Maintenance includes a careful examination to ensure at least:
A. The Light Body is not cracked, broken or breeched.
B. The Lens is not cracked or chipped.
C. The Cable is not frayed and is gripping tightly in all points of cable contact.
D. The Cable Jacket is completely intact and that no internal conductors or conductor insulation
is exposed.
E. The Connection Box is not cracked, broken or breeched.
F. The Cord Plug is not cracked or damaged and the Ground Post is intact.
G. The magnets are fully in-tact with no visible cracks or damage.
For your safety and to maximize the life of the light, avoid rough usage such as:
H. Pulling the Light by the Cable, which could weaken or damage the cable.
I. Impacting the lens with hard, sharp or heavy objects, which could cause the lens to scratch,
chip, crack, or shatter.
J. Disconnecting the Cord Plug from the receptacle by pulling on the Cable.
Keeping the light clean and free of material splatter, overspray, and debris during usage will ensure the
maximum life and luminosity of the light.
