Pendant:
Pendant mount lights will get a threaded plate that attaches to the top of the fixture to allow for pipe to be threaded directly into it. Using the provided gasket in the groove on the underside of the plate, pull the wiring through the threaded hole on the plate and secure it to the fixture using the provided hardware kit. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be sure the gasket stays in position and provides a good seal once the screws are secure. Fixture is now ready to be pendant mounted. Follow all applicable local and national electrical and building codes when completing the installation. -Pendant

Ceiling:
Ceiling mount lights will get a surface mount junction box to mount to the top of the fixture that will allow it to be mounted to any flat surface capable of supporting the load. Using the provided gasket to seal between the junction box and the fixture, attach the junction box to the fixture using the provided hardware kit, pulling the wiring into the junction box to allow for connections. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be sure the gasket stays in position and provides a good seal once the screws are secure. Fixture is now ready to be surface mounted using the pre-drilled mounting holes in the flange of the base.

Wall:
Wall mount lights will get a surface mount junction box and elbow extension to mount to the top of the fixture that will allow it to be mounted to a wall. Using the provided  gasket to seal between the junction box and elbow extension, attach the two pieces together using the provided hardware, as shown in the picture above. Once the elbow extension and junction box have been joined together, use the other gasket to seal between the elbow extension and the top of the light fixture, and secure it using the provided hardware kit. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be sure to pull wiring through the elbow extension and into the junction box, and be sure both gaskets stay in place and provide a good seal once the screws are secure.

Wiring
We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product, in all locations, especially in outdoor areas where weatherproofing may be required.LARSON ELECTRONICS EPL MJ XXW LED Series Explosion Proof LED Jar

Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!
Secure each pair of wires according to the diagram. Utilize the junction box or similar device and take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with the unit. Ensure the unit is properly grounded and that wiring is done according to all local and national electrical/building codes. Unit is “instant on” and will illuminate as soon as power is supplied.

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.

Change Steady/Strobe Setting
In order to switch light settings between steady burn and strobe, you will need to access the board of the light by opening the back of the unit as shown. Once the board is accessible, locate the small switch and change to the desired position. Be sure flamepath is free from damage or debris and light is sealed again properly before operation.LARSON ELECTRONICS EPL MJ XXW LED
