IMPORTANT
1. Read this leaflet carefully before commencing to use the luminaire and retain it for
future use.
2. Check the rating label to ensure the luminaire is suitable for the supply provided,
ambient temperature present and IP rating. ATEX certification includes assessment
of product safety at ±10% of rated voltage, running lamps outside of this voltage
tolerance will therefore invalidate the ATEX approval and the product warranty, may
result in a dangerous condition, and could cause the product to fail prematurely.
3. The luminaire housing is constructed from polycarbonate and polyurethane, the end
user must ensure that these materials are suitable for the atmosphere the luminaire
will be used in. Excessive force should not be used on plastic components.
4. Only luminaires using compact fluorescent lamps are suitable for portable
applications, luminaires using T8 lamps must be used in static applications only.
5. In areas where processes that induce circulating currents in the earth system are
being undertaken, such as welding, it is the user's responsibility to ensure there is
no potential difference between the supply earth and the earth local to the luminaire.
If a potential difference exists there is a risk of arcing should the lamp's end cap
fixings or metal gland come into contact with local metal work. In these situations,
the luminaire should also be locally earth bonded with a flexible cable, no longer
than 2 metres, with a conductor area of 6mm2 minimum. The luminaire must be
de-energised during connection or disconnection of the local earth bond.

Please Retain – Read Before Use
6. Damaged equipment should be withdrawn and repaired as necessary before being
put back in to service, in accordance with EN60079-17 code of practice. Inspect
cable at regular intervals.
7. Lamps must not be opened in Hazardous Areas.
8. This product is Class1 equipment and must be earthed. Luminaires are supplied
as standard with 3 core earthed supply cables. Where the user specifically requires
a 24 volt SELV luminaire with 2 core cable (+ve and -ve) / a 2 pole plug, the
luminaire must be used with a separate connection to earth via the external earth
grounding point.
9. To improve reliability 24VAC versions should only be powered from a dedicated
supply or transformer designated for lighting only.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR USE
Linkable models fitted with Marechal sockets, sockets must not be exposed to
mechanical impact higher than 4 Joules.
INSTALLATION
1. When luminaires are used in fixed installations two mounting points must be used,
the two end caps on each luminaire have four mounting points which are
compatible with Unistrut® and associated accessories. Portable luminaires
can also be carried around whilst illuminated using the carrying strap supplied.
2. All luminaires have terminal blocks suitable for 4mm2 live, neutral and earth. Only one
conductor should be fitted to each terminal block, for screwed type terminal blocks all
terminals should be fully tightened down whether a conductor is fitted or not.
3. Approved cable glands must be used and be suitable for the type of cable used.
Any unused cable entries should be blanked off with an approved stopper plug to
maintain a minimum IP rating as marked on the certification label.
MAINTENANCE
1. Isolate the luminaire from both switched and unswitched mains supplies before
carrying out any maintenance work.
2. Lamps must be changed at the intervals recommended by the lamp manufacturer.
3. It is essential that all luminaires are maintained in accordance with the requirements
of EN60079-17.
4. External plastic components have an anti static coating to avoid a build up of static
electricity, use only a dilute water/detergent mix to clean luminaires
5. IMPORTANT. No modifications are permitted to the luminaire, all spare parts must
be purchased from the manufacturer, unauthorized modifications or spare parts will
invalidate certification.
ELECTRICAL DATA
Total circuit watts 2x55/58W = 92W, 2x36W = 62W, 2x18W = 32W, 4x55W = 185W,
4x36W = 125W, 4x18W = 65W . Power factor correction better than 0.95. Inrush
current on initial switch on 45A for 500µs. Maximum luminaires on a circuit not to
exceed 16A. HV insulation testing may be carried out at voltages less than 500V DC,
live and neutral cables should be shorted together and the voltage applied between
earth and this connection.
CHANGING LAMPS
Isolate the luminaire, remove an end cap by releasing the two recessed screws within
the end cap, the clear polycarbonate tube can now be withdrawn over the internal
reflector. The lamps are removed by releasing the two lamp retainers on each lamp and
then removing the two screwed connectors from the end of each lamp. Fitting lamps
is a reversal of the above procedure check that the silicone gasket is seated within the
end cap before assembly. Use only compact fluorescent lamps with 2G11 bases, for T8
fluorescent lamp variants G13 caps are required for bi pin and Fa6 caps for single pin.
EMERGENCY LUMINAIRES
Emergency luminaires should be charged/discharged three times upon commissioning
to ensure the batteries are cycled to their peak capacity, charging time shall be a
minimum of 24 hours. The luminaires are designed to give approx. three hours light
output during a power failure, the luminaires should be tested on a regular basis in
accordance with national standards on emergency lighting. When on battery power
only one tube will illuminate and this will be at a reduced power level. The lamp will
come on every time the supply is removed. If the lamp has been powered for only a
short time the battery duration will be proportionally reduced.
Ensure battery is fully discharged before dismantling the lamp to replace the tubes.
FAULT FINDING
If luminaire fails to function, replace fluorescent tubes.
DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIAL
Disposal of packaging, luminaire and old lamps should be carried out in accordance
with national regulations.
WARNING: USE ONLY GENUINE WOLF REPLACEMENT PARTS.
The Wolf Safety Lamp Co. Ltd has a policy of continuous product improvement.
Changes in design details may be made without prior notice.
