The EPL-120-150-EPP from Larson Electronics is an Explosion Proof Hand Lamp that is UL Listed Class I Division 1
Groups C & D and is ideal for general work activities in hazardous locations requiring explosion proof protection.
WIRING
This explosion proof hand lamp is equipped with 150 feet of 16/3 chemical and abrasion resistant SOOW cord that is fitted
with an explosion proof cord cap for easy connection to explosion proof outlets. Plug options include a 5-15 15 amp straight
blade plug for use with 120V explosion proof outlets, or a 5-20 20 amp straight blade plug for use with 120V explosion proof
outlets. **PLEASE NOTE** voltage ratings on plugs and outlets are MAXIMUM voltage. For low voltage applications,
proper voltage must be applied to the outlet or damage to the light fixture will occur.
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 100V - 277V AC, 50 or 60Hz.

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.
OPERATION
1. Position light head in desired location using swivel hook.
2. Run cable, transformer, and plug OUTSIDE HAZARDOUS AREA.
3. Attach power cord from transformer to Voltage: 120V/277V AC
compatible receptacle.
WARNING: Check product label for correct voltage! Failure to comply could
result in damage to the fixture which may not be covered by warranty. The bulb itself
runs on low voltage specified upon purchase.
The LED lamp in this hand lamp is “instant-on” and will illuminate once power is supplied.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
1. Loosen set screw. ⑧
2. Unscrew Guard/Globe assembly ⑨from handle assembly.
3. Replace with matching lamp.
4. Inspect o-ring seal ⑪. If worn or damaged, it must be replaced to
insure watertight seal.
5. Screw globe assembly completely onto lamp base.
6. Tighten set screw securely to 6 in-lbs.

MAINTENANCE
Caution: To avoid personal injury, disconnect power to the light and allow the unit to cool down before
performing maintenance.
Warning: No user serviceable parts inside of fixture. Risk of electric shock. Removal of the lens will void
the warranty.
1. Perform visual, mechanical and electrical inspections on a regular basis. We recommend routine
checks to be made on a yearly basis. Frequency of use and environment should determine this. It is
recommended to follow an Electrical Preventive Maintenance Program as described in NFPA 70B:
Recommended practice for Electrical Equipment.
2. The lens should be cleaned periodically as needed to ensure continued photometric performance.
Clean the lens with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If not sufficient, use mild soap or a liquid
cleaner.
3. Inspect the cooling fins on the luminaire to ensure that they are free of any obstructions or
contamination (i.e. excessive dust build-up). Clean with a non-abrasive cloth if needed.
4. Do not operate if the lens is cracked or damaged. All fasteners should be properly seated.
