Installation

General

The respective national regulations IEC/EN 60079-14 as well as the general rules of engineering which apply to the installation and operation of explosion protected apparatus will have to be observed! The improper installation and operation may result in the explosion protection and invalidation of the guarantee.

Mounting luminaire

Mounting the bracket

Only use the accompanying mounting bracket! Securely fasten the mounting bracket to a suitable base with sufficient load-bearing capacity. The mounting should be secured with M8 bolts and relative lock washers and nuts should be used

The minimum distance between the luminaire and illuminated surface, directly in front of the luminaire, is 0.5 meter. The lighting must not be illuminated when at a distance of less than 0.5m from inflammable material

Cable entries/Plugs and Breathing valve

The “Increased safety (Exe)” properties must be preserved when select and mount cable entry/plug and breathing valve. Unused holes must be closed with certified plug to establish the Exe protection category. The cable glands/plugs and breathing valve should be Ex tb certified if the whole product is Ex tb certified also. Cable entries sealing washer(if required by manual of cable gland/plug) must be used to obtain IP66. The authoritative mounting guidelines for the cable glands and breathing valve used must be observed. Mounting the selected cable entries acc. type and dimensions of the main connection cable following their manufacturer instructions. The cable temperatures are given as the rise over the max. rated ambient (Tamb). This allows the user to adjust the cable specification for actual maximum site ambient. Only heat resistant cable according to the data on the type label may be used! The max. conductor size is 6mm². The standard looping cable size is 4mm²

System modes

Independent system mode:

In the event of a mains failure, an automatic
changeover to emergency operation occurs.

Battery Indicator Matrix：

Charging	Fully Charged	Emergency	Damaged
Green light “blinking”	Green light “always on”	Red light “blinking “	Red

light “always on”

Battery charging ：After first mains connection, an uninterrupted charging time for 24 hours is strongly recommended. A charge-discharge activation cycle should be applied if after more than 6 months’ storage.

Inhibit switch system mode:

The emergency light function can be separately switched on and off via a inhibit switch installed outside in the event of a mains failure.

Need to remove the wire on the small terminal if use the inhibit switch function (wiring diagram).

Opening/closing the luminaire

General
The opening of luminaire always shall be without voltage! All gasket seals must be clean and undamaged before closing the luminaire. Make sure the luminaires is well closed before operation!

Exe chamber cover
Open the buckles and remove the PC cover. And carry out the steps in reverse order to close the luminaire. Check all buckles to ensure a secure fit during operation. (Illustration 4 )

Electrical connection

The electrical connection of the luminaire must only be established by qualified electricians. Make sure the supply voltage is the same as the luminaire voltage! Use proper supply wiring as specified on the nameplate of the luminaire and in this instructions! Excessive tightening may affect or damage the connection

Wire connection
The conductors shall be connected with special care in order to maintain the explosion category. The conductor itself shall not be damaged. The connectible min. and max. conductor cross-sections shall be observed (see technical data). All terminals, used and unused, shall be fully tightened to prevent incorrect selection between 1.2Nm for Exe T6P and 0.6~0.8Nm for MK3/2/E. Main connection: See wiring diagram. Remove the single core cable which shorts the terminals of MK3/2/E when install the inhibit switch. Type of connected conductors: Rigid with cable lug, flexible with ferrule, pin cable lug or cable lug.

Putting into operation

Prior to putting the apparatus into operation, the tests specified in the relevant national regulations shall be carried out. Insulation measurements may only be carried out between PE and the external conductor L1 (L2, L3) as well as between PE and N.

Measurement voltage: Max. 1.5 KV AC
Measurement current: Max.5 mA
The luminaire may only be operated when closed.
It is generally recommended (see IEC/EN 60079- 14) that you ensure the type of protection of the construction is not impaired during installation.

Maintenance/Servicing

General

The relevant national regulations which apply to the maintenance/servicing of electrical apparatus in explosive atmospheres, shall be observed (EN/IEC 60079-17). The interval between maintenance depends upon the ambient conditions and the hours of operation. The recommendations given within EN/IEC 60079-17 for recurring checks must be observed.

Checks

The equipment must be de-energised before opening Visual inspection should be carried out at a minimum of 12 monthly intervals and more frequently if conditions are severe, refer to EN/IEC 60079-17. The time between luminaire changes could be very infrequent and this is too long a period without inspection.

Routine Examination

During maintenance, the parts affecting the level of protection must be checked in particular:

Ensure the luminaire is lit when energised and examine the enclosure and glass for any signs of cracks and damage.
When de-energised and left to cool, there should be no significant sign of internal moisture. If there are signs of water ingress, the luminaire should be opened up, dried out, and any likely ingress points eliminated by re-gasketing, re-greasing or other replacement.
Check the gasket of pc cover and LED housing for any damage or permanent set and replace as required.
Terminal, screw glands and blanking plugs for secure fitting.
To maintain the light output, clean the protective pc cover periodically with a damp cloth or a mild cleaning fluid. If this product is used in the combustible dust area, outside of enclosure must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent accumulation of dust.
The cable connections should be checked for tightness. The gasket should be checked for cracks or lack of elasticity, and if necessary, replaced.
Check that mountings are secure and the adjusting bolts are tight.
If it has been suspected that the luminaire has mechanical damage, a stringent workshop overhaul will be required. Where spares are needed, these must be replaced with factory specified parts. No modifications should be made without the knowledge and approval of the manufacturer. Cleaning the joint of housing assy. and pc cover use a damp cloth or a mild cleaning fluid.- Ensure the luminaire is lit when energised and examine the enclosure and glass for any signs of cracks and damage.

Repair/Overhaul/Modifications

General
The national regulations EN/IEC60079-19 have to be observed! Repairs and overhaul may only be carried out with genuine Eaton Crouse-Hinds spare parts. In the case of battery failure, the battery pack must be replaced as a complete unit from the manufacture.

Replacement of the battery can be done only by the manufacturer staff or the persons on behalf of the manufacturer.

Only use original spare parts. If the luminaire was previously in operation then wait to cool enough before opening. Repairs that affect the explosion protection, may only be carried out by Eaton Crouse Hinds or a qualified electrician in compliance with the applicable national rules. Modifications to the device or changes to its design are not permitted. After carrying out repair or overhaul work, ensure that the “Exde” properties have not been affected.
