Overview

The Hazardous Location Emergency Light can be configured for either Class 1 Division 1 or Class 1 Division 2 environments. Hazardous location emergency lights are designed for use in the harshest environments. These environments contain flammable gases, vapors, and liquids. Class 1 Div 1 locations feature hazardous materials during normal operations while Class 1 Div 2 environments only feature hazardous materials during abnormal operations (malfunctions, accidents). Choose the type of Hazardous Location Emergency Light when ordering above.

The Hazardous Location Emergency Light is explosion proof, the unit will not can ignite any type of explosion as it is completely self-contained and hermetically sealed. Hazardous location emergency lights remain illuminated for at least 90 minutes after AC power is lost during a power outage.

The Hazardous Location Emergency Light features a cast aluminum enclosure that is copper-free and designed to withstand the pressure of explosions. The aluminum housing is corrosion resistant with an epoxy powder coat finish. The Class 1 Division 1 Hazardous Location Emergency Light features powerful, yet compact 12v 20w Halogen MR16 lamps that illuminate a large area and are easy to position. The Class 1 Division 2 Hazardous Location Emergency Light features 2 top-mounted halogen PAR style lamps which are available from 9 to 25 watts.

External Specifications

The Class 1 Div 1 Hazardous Location Emergency Light features  a copper-free cast aluminum housing and the Class 1 Div 2 model features a fiberglass housing. Bothare fully gasketed to seal out the elements. Available in a wall or ceiling mount version.

Hazardous Location emergency lights are designed for installation into the most hazardous environments including power plants, paint facilities, and chemical processing buildings. These types of hazardous location fixtures are also known as explosion proof emergency lights, which means they are designed to prevent the ignition of explosive gases, vapors, and dust.

Lamp Specifications

Class 1 Div 1 Emergency Light: 12-volt 20-watt Halogen MR16 lamps are enclose by the shatterproof and explosion proof clear polycarbonate guard.

Class 1 Div 2 Emergency Light: 6-volt 9-watt Halogen PAR stye lamps are top-mounted and feature shatterproof lamp heads.

Electrical Specifications

The Hazardous Location Emergency Light 120/277v AC dual-voltage operation is standard with surge-protected, solid-state circuitry that provides for a reliable charging system. Other voltages available upon request such as 220v and 240v. Some models feature a temperature compensated charger. Charging system is complete with low voltage disconnect, AC lockout, and brownout protection. Test button is standard.

Battery Specifications

Maintenance free, sealed lead calcium battery has an estimated service life of 5 years, and an operating temperature range of 65°F (19°C) to 85°F (30°C).

Line sensitive electronics cause an instantaneous transfer to battery power if utility power is lost, or a brownout condition is detected. When line voltage is present and stabilized, the transfer circuitry switches back to normal operation and begins recharging the battery.

Code Compliance

UL 924, UL 844, and UL 1604 Listed for the United States. Class I, Div. 1, Groups C & D, Zones 0, 1 & 2, Groups IIA, IIB + H2 & IIC; Class I, Div. 2, Groups C & D, Zone 2, Groups IIA, IIB + H2 & IIC; Class II, Div. 1, Groups E, F & G; Class II, Div. 2, Groups F & G; and Class III hazardous location areas.

Warranty

Three-year warranty on parts, four-year prorated warranty on lead calcium battery, five-year prorated warranty on nickel cadmium battery.

Maintenance Profile

The maintenance required for the Hazardous Location Emergency Light is monthly and yearly testing of the battery backup system per OSHA regulations. The emergency lamps are replaceable if broken or burnt out.

Lifespan

Class 1 Div 1 emergency lights and class 1 Div 2 emergency lights have an 8-10 year expected lifespan on all components except the replaceable battery.

Technology

The AC lockout feature prevents battery drain prior to the initial energizing of utility power, and allows the installer to complete all wiring and electrical connections without energizing the emergency circuit.

The low voltage disconnect (LVD) feature will disconnect the battery prior to an unacceptable deep discharge, but not before the required 90 minute emergency operation.

Appeal

Easy to install and completely self-contained, the Hazardous Location Emergency Light is attractive and extremely durable.
