RELEVANT LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
•RISK OFFIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. FIXTURE INSTALLATION REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF FIXTURE'S ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS. IFNOTQUALIFIED, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
•BE CERTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE AND DURING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.
•MAKE SURE THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS THE SAME AS THE FIXTURE'S RATED VOLTAGE.
•TO PREVENT WIRING DAMAGE OR ABRASION, DO NOT EXPOSE WIRING TO EDGES OF SHEET METAL OR SHARP
OBJECTS. SUITABLE FOR DAMP LOCATIONS.
WARNING:
USER SHOULD BE TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OFTHIS DEVICE. WHEN EXTENSION
CORD IS CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE IN HAZARDOUS AREA, PLUG AND MATCHING RECEPTACLE
MUST BE SUITABLE FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATION INVOLVED. IMPROPER USE OF THIS DEVICE, ASSOCIATED
PLUG, RECEPTACLE, AND CORD CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL.
PERIODIC INSPECTION OF THE RECEPTACLE AND CORD IS NECESSARY.
THE CORD MUST BE ROUTINELY CHECKED FOR CUTS, BREAKS, ORANY SEVERE ABRASIONS, AND IFANY
ARE FOUND, THE CORD MUST BEREPLACED BEFORE RESUMING USE OFTHE UNIT.
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY MUST BE “OFF” BEFORE AND DURING INSTALLATION ANDMAINTENANCE.
INSTALLATION ANDMAINTENANCE PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A TRAINED AND COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN.
IF ANY PARTS OF THE RECEPTACLE OR PLUG APPEAR TOBE MISSING, BROKEN, ORSHOW SIGNS OR
DAMAGE, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY. REPLACE WITH THE PROPER REPLACEMENT PART(S) BEFORE
CONTINUING SERVICE.
The EPEXC-1C-10.3-GFI-50C-BCE Explosion Proof GFCI Cord Whip allows operators in flammable work sites to
extend power connections. This explosion proof accessory is compatible with 125V and comes with a 20-amp
continuous service rating. The cord features 10/3 SOOW properties, making it suitable for rugged, industrial
applications.
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 125V AC.
Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!
Attach supply line wires to the appropriate light fixture wires as shown
in thediagram 
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.

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.
GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
In the event of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.
Definition of a ground fault:
Instead of following its normal safe path, electricity passes through a person's body to reach the ground. For example, a
defective appliance can cause a ground fault.
A GFCI receptacle does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks. For example, you can still be
shocked if you touch bare wires while standing on a non-conducting surface, such as a wood floor.
NOTE:
GFCI's contain a lockout feature that will prevent RESET if:
• There is no power being supplied to the GFCI.
• The GFCI is miswired due to reversal of the LINE and LOAD leads.
• The GFCI cannot pass its internal test, indicating that it may not be able to provide protection in the event of a ground
fault.
GFCI TEST
Use an approved GFCI tester or plug an electrical device, such as a lamp into the receptacle on which you are working.
Turn the lamp or device ON. Then, press the TEST button on the GFCI box and power should immediately be switched
off. If not, contact an electrician. Press the RESET button to restore power.
INTER-COMPATIBILITY
These cords use T style plugs and will work with non-explosion proof standard receptacles and plugs (NEMA 5-15R,
5-20R, or 6-20R) but will not work with standard 120V wall outlets. The included plug is cross-interchangeable with
Crouse Hind™ part# ENP5201 plugs and receptacles and Hubble-Killiark part# UGP-20231 ACCEPTOR® plugs and
receptacles. Any equipment requiring these C-H or H-B plugs should work with these cords. Due to possible
manufacturer changes we cannot guarantee interchangeability although we have made every effort to ensure cross
compatibility correctness.
MAINTENANCE
There are no serviceable parts inside the fixture. However, it is good practice to routinely clean and check the
fixture for proper function.
•Disconnect power running to the unit and be sure the fixture iscool to the touch.
•Use a non-abrasive glass cleaning solution to clean the lens.
