1. When using the SWB6 wall bracket and SFA6 slipfi tter, plug the . NPT entry on the
SFA6 slipfi tter with EATON Crouse-Hinds Series plug PLG2 (not supplied).
2. To make the required wiring transition to portable cord, use
EATON Crouse-Hinds Series GRFX229 S752 outlet box, with GRF10SA S752
cover and GASK 643 gasket. Wall mount the outlet box adjacent to the fl oodlight
yoke or SWB6 wall mount bracket if used.
3. Install one end of a length of #16-3 type SOW portable cord (or other extra hard
usage portable cord) into the GRFX outlet box using a
EATON Crouse-Hinds Series NCG75-75 cable connector. The cord length requi-
red will allow ample slack to adjust the aiming angle of the fl oodlight.
See Figure 3 - Pole mount with SFA6 Slipfi tter.
C) Wiring the Floodlight
1. Loosen the six (6) captive fl oodlight cover screws on the door and completely open
the cover. Remove the screw that secures the cover plate over the ballast
housing. Be sure to retain the screw in a safe place.
2. Unscrew the screws in the connection space cover and remove the cover.
Insert the connection cable through the cable entry.
3. With sealing inserts which can be trimmed, it should be ensured that the insert is
correctly adapted to the diameter of the cable. The cable entries are to be
securely tightened to ensure the necessary minimum protection rating.
If they are tightened excessively, the protection rating may be compromi-
sed.
Wire cable according to the terminal numbering and circuit diagram. See Figure 4.
The conductors shall be connected with special care in order to maintain the ex-
plosion category.
The insulation of the conductors shall reach up to the terminal. The conduc-
tor itself shall not be damaged.
The connectible min. and max. conductor cross-sections shall be observed
(see technical data).
All screws and/or nuts of the supply terminals, also of those remaining va-
cant, shall be tightened down. (torque 1,8Nm)
4. Position the ballast cover back in place and fasten with three (3) screws, making
sure that all wires are safely inside and positioned away from the ballast area.
5. Install the lamp as specifi ed on the nameplate. See point 6.4.
6. Close fl oodlight cover door. Securely tighten all cover screws. For proper gasket
seal, torque the cover screws to 10-14 lbs.-in. (1.13-1.58 Nm).
7. To make fi nal vertical adjustment, loosen the two pivot bolts on the fl oodlight
yoke to position fl oodlight at the desired angle (within the acceptable aiming range
limits).
See Figure 5. Tighten the two pivot bolts to 45 lbs.-ft. (61 Nm).
8. To make the fi nal horizontal (radial) adjustment, loosen the four (4) slipfi tter base
bolts.
9. Rotate the fl oodlight housing to the desired position.
10. Tighten the slipfi tter base bolts to 19 lbs.-ft. (26 Nm) to lock in position.
6.4 Lamp installation & replacement
1. Note both vertical and radial aiming angles. If these are disturbed during relam-
ping, they should be readjusted after re-lamping.
2. Disconnect power to the fl oodlight and allow to cool completely. Allow the capacitor
to discharge for 15 minutes.
3. Completely loosen the six (6) captive cover screws and swing open the cover. See
Figure 6.
4. Remove lamp.
5. Perform cleaning and inspection as noted in the section 7.
6. Screw new lamp into lampholder and securely tighten lamp. New lamp must be
identical type, size, and wattage as marked on the fl oodlight nameplate.
The lamp must be screwed tightly into the lamp holder. Ensure that it is
screwed in fully so that no arcs or other inadmissible operating conditions
can occur. Protect lamp from glass breakage during installation.
7. Thoroughly clean lens and cover gasket seal with a clean, damp cloth. If this is not
suffi cient, use a mild soap or a liquid cleaner such as Collinite NCF or Duco #7. Do
not use an abrasive, strong alkaline, or acid cleaner. Damage may result.
8. Close fl oodlight cover door making sure that all wires are safely inside and posi-
tioned away from the ballast area. Securely tighten all cover screws. For proper
gasket seal, torque the cover screws to 10-14 lbs.-in. (1.13-1.58 Nm).
Over-tightening can impair the degree of protection.
Warning
To avoid the risk of fi re, explosion, or electric shock, this product should be installed,
inspected, and maintained by a qualifi ed electrician only, in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes.
6.5 Putting into operation
Prior to taking the apparatus into operation, the tests specifi ed in the relevant
national regulations shall be carried out. Apart from that, the correct functioning and
installation of the apparatus in accordance with these operating instructions
and other applicable regulations must be observed.
Insulation measurements may only be carried out between PE and the external
conductor.

- Measurement voltage: max. 1 kVAC/DC
- Measurement current: max. 10 mA
- The fl oodlight may only be operated when sealed.
- Carry out test in accordance with IEC 60079-15 33.7.1 (see Section 7.1).
7. Maintenance / Servicing
The relevant national regulations which apply to the maintenance/servicing of electri-
cal apparatus in explosive atmospheres shall be observed (IEC 60079-19).
Servicing:
When servicing, in particular those components that affect the explosion protection,
will have to be checked, e.g.:
- Housing for any cracks or damages.
- Gaskets for their perfect condition.
- Terminals and blanking plugs for their fi rm fi t.
- Defective lamps must be replaced immediately.
The interval between maintenance depends upon the ambient conditions and the
hours of operation. The suggested interval between lamp changes given by the lamp
manufacturer should be followed. A visual check and the test to IEC 60079-15 (see
Section 7.1) should be carried out every 6 months.
We recommend a regular maintenance according to an approved preventive mainte-
nance program. To prevent additional lumen depreciation, thoroughly clean the lens
and cover gasket seal with a clean, damp cloth. If this is not suffi cient,
use a mild soap or a liquid cleaner such as Collinite NCP or Duco #7. Do not use an
abrasive, strong alkaline, or acid cleaner. Damage may result.
7.1 Test for restricted breathing to IEC 60079-15 point 23.2.3:
This test is to be carried out after:
- Installation
- Lamp change
- During scheduled maintenance
- Check the lamp holder for damage
- The lamp must be screwed tightly in to the lamp holder
- Tighten all cover screws (overtightening of the screws can damage the threads)
- Connect test unit to the test point on the luminaire. See Figure 7.
- The time required for a vacuum from 300P (30mm water pressure) to reduce to
150P (15mm water pressure) at constant temperature conditions, may not be less
than 90sec. (see Figure 7). If the vacuum cannot be maintained for this length of
time, then the seals (enclosure, cable entry, etc.) must be replaced. After this, the
test must be repeated.
