aluminum hooks and connected in series along 90 feet of 12/3 SOOW explosion proof cord. and is ideal for general close
work and inspection activities in hazardous locations requiring explosion proof protection.
Mounting
Each light is equipped with a hook at the top for hang mounting,
and a handle at the bottom for handheld applications. Simply
hang the lamps in a suitable location that is capable of
supporting the load. The hook freely swivels, allowing you to
rotate the light to the desired orientation. Alternatively, you may
hand hold one of the lights if you need to get a closer look in a
tight spot.
Wiring
Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!
This unit comes pre-wired from factory with the selected cord cap. Take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all
connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with the unit. All outdoor installations and indoor
installations near a wet location require the use of a GFCI device for safety, according to the National Electrical Code® (NEC).
Ensure the unit is properly grounded. Always follow all applicable local and national electrical codes for the hazardous area in
which the equipment will be used. Position device near work area for operation. Run cable to nearby compatible power source
outputting the correct voltage, as listed on the product label. 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
is 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 to 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.
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 lamp and be sure the fixture is cool to the touch.
•Use a non-abrasive glass cleaning solution to clean the lens.
Note: It is not necessary to open the fixture and clean or touch the LED’s.
