Wolf ATEX Turbolite – A-TL44C and A-TL45C Operating Instructions
The Wolf ATEX Turbolite is a compressed air driven lamp. The operating pressure must be between
5 and 8 bar (70 to 120 psi). The ideal running and setting pressure is 5.5 bar (80 psi).
The pressure regulator on the lamp compensates for uctuations in airline pressures. Every
Turbolite Airlamp, as supplied, can be connected to a 12.5mm (1/2”) bore hose, a 3/4” BSP male
thread, or a 3/4” BSP female thread.
The supply hose must be anti-static to BS2050 and should be connected to earth at the supply end.
Continuity between lamp and hose should be checked to ensure there is no risk of static build up.
Quick connect couplings can be insulative. If the coupling being used is insulative, the external
earthing point on the lamp should be used to ground the lamp body to the hose.

For standard use in gas atmospheres an
exhaust hose is not required. If working in close
proximity to the lamp for long periods of time,
hearing protection is recommended.

To operate with reduced noise levels in gas
atmospheres, an exhaust hose may be used
to vent within the explosive atmosphere. When
venting within the explosive atmosphere the
silencer must be tted to the end of the exhaust
hose as shown in g. 2.
To operate in dust atmospheres, an exhaust hose must be used to vent outside of the explosive
atmosphere, so that the exhaust air doesn’t agitate the dust. The exhaust hose silencer is optional
in this arrangement. Fig. 3 shows safe area exhaust with silencer. Fig. 4 shows safe area exhaust
without silencer.
Exhaust hose must be anti-static to BS2050. 19mm (3/4”) bore hose will result in minimal loss of
performance. Ensure exhaust hose does not cause a hazard.
Setting Generator Voltage
A setting and testing device (A-1040) is required to set or check the generator voltage.

The 24v 250 watt tungsten halogen bi pin
capsule bulb A-129/A-159, should be handled
with care, the pins are fragile. When the bulb
blows the ATEX Turbolite should be switched off
immediately and removed from service for bulb
replacement.
The bulbholder can be removed by unscrewing
the two securing screws and unscrewing the
wiring contact screws and nuts. The nuts are
accessed from the inside of the generator. On
inspection, check these nuts are torqued to
1.5Nm to ensure a reliable electrical contact and
pressure seal on the insulating bush.
When re-assembling the ATEX Turbolite, ensure
the head is screwed down until it comes to a
stop when the castings contact each other. This
will ensure there is enough compression on the
oodlight head seal or ball glass seal to seal the
pressurised enclosure. Then lock the enclosure
with the lock screw.
Removal/Replacement of the Glass Lens -
Type A-TL45C
The lens ring retains the glass lens. To remove,
unscrew the four fastening screws, using a 6mm
Allen key. The glass lens is mounted inside the
lens seal.
Inspect the lens seal before replacing the lens. If
the seal is damaged it must be replaced.
The fastening screws are high tensile A4
stainless steel specication. IMPORTANT, the
strength of these screws is safety critical, only
use specied spare parts. Incorrect fastening of
these screws can cause:
• The toughened glass lens to shatter
• The lens seal to become damaged
• Weakening of the fastening screws
• Stripping of the threads in the reector head
Inspection and Maintenance
EN IEC 60079-17
1. A damaged ATEX Turbolite should be
withdrawn and repaired in accordance with
these instructions, by trained/qualied
personnel.
2. ATEX Turbolites must be inspected, cleaned
and tested after every 1000 hours of use. Refer
to IEC 60079-17 for guidance on inspection and
maintenance.
3. The use of non-Wolf spare parts and/or
improper tting of spare parts will invalidate
product certication and the manufacturer’s
warranty and may cause an unsafe condition.
If in doubt, contact the Wolf Safety Lamp
Company.
4. Before use in a hazardous dust atmosphere,
lamps must be checked to ensure there is no air
leakage. If a lamp is leaking, check the condition
of all seals and tightness of assembly screws
and threads. Refer to torque settings in g. 6
(page 5-6).
WARNING:
• Pressurised enclosure, inspect lamp in
accordance with these instructions before
operation.
• All maintenance to be carried out in the safe
area.
• Before dismantling the lamp shut off air
supply and wait two minutes.
• Do not cover or obscure light transmitting
parts.
• These lamps are not solidly earthed.
Precautions against the hazards associated
with static electricity should be taken.
• A-TL44C model has a polycarbonate lens,
the end user must ensure suitability of the
atmosphere the lamp will be used in.

Regulator Assembly
The regulator adjusts the output voltage of the generator. All the regulator parts are correctly
aligned and secured by the retainer. Do not disturb the regulator unless it ceases to function
correctly. If replacement or cleaning of any parts is necessary, remove the retainer using the forked
end of the A-146 tool. Check the fabric and beaded rim of the diaphragm on the piston assembly
(A-110) for deterioration.
Before re-assembly of the regulator, the lockscrew, lock nut and regulating screw must be
removed from the opposite end of the regulator piston chamber, to release pressure on the
regulator spring.
The regulating screw and lock nut should then be loosely tted just inside the end of the piston
chamber, ready for setting the generator voltage.

Inspection and replacement of generator
sealed bearings
To remove the rear cover, remove the 3x
fastening screws, using a 5mm Allen key. The
assembled rotor is tted to the rear cover. Do
not prise the rear cover off, attraction of the
magnet will resist removal. Tap the generator
housing with a plastic mallet to aid removal of
the rear cover.
Use tool A-146 (item 34) to hold the rotor shaft
lock collar, while you remove the rotor shaft nut
with a 10mm spanner.
Disassemble the components from the rotor
shaft to get access to the bearing retaining ring
and 3 x pozi-drive bearing retaining ring screws,
which allow the rotor shaft with sealed bearing
to be removed from the rear cover.
Assembly is the reverse of the above; check
correct orientation of all components. Medium
strength thread lock (e.g. Loctite 222) should be
applied to the bearing retaining ring screws and
the outer race of the bottom bearing. Take care
not to contaminate the bearing face with thread
lock.
Sealed bearings must be replaced as a set.
Never re-use the circlip washer and ensure
waved spring washers are tted, as shown in
g. 5.
On inspection and assembly always check the
rotor shaft nut is secure. High strength thread
lock (e.g. Loctite 270) should be used on the
rotor shaft nut.
Before re-tting the rotor assembly to the
generator housing, make sure that no small
ferrous objects have been attracted to the
magnet. When replacing the rotor assembly, the
magnet will be strongly attracted to the stator.
Ensure the sealed bearing locates correctly
into the generator housing; avoid nger traps
between the generator housing and the rear
cover.
