Eaton Crouse-Hinds CHMM2 Champ VMVL/PVML Adapter - IP66

Copper-free aluminum construction reduces corrosion risk and weight, making retrofits safer and faster. Lighter hardware simplifies handling during ceiling installations and minimizes support requirements, especially in confined spaces. The CHMM2 is engineered to retrofit VMVL/PVML fixtures without compromising mounting strength or electrical integrity, preserving alignment and optical performance. In demanding environments, the copper-free design also contributes to long-term maintenance benefits by reducing galvanic corrosion and residue buildup. Compatibility with Appleton MercMaster II fixtures is a core design goal, delivering a straightforward upgrade path for aging lighting systems and minimizing project scope changes. The CHMM2 combines precise dimensions with a proven VMVL/PVML interface, enabling a plug-and-play retrofit that reduces field modification time. By bridging VMVL/PVML mounting to modern luminaires, it eliminates the need for bespoke adapters and shortens commissioning cycles. IP66 enclosure protection and a NEMA 4X rating provide robust resistance to dust, water jets, and corrosive washdowns in service aisles and outdoor installations. This level of protection supports reliable operation in food processing, chemical processing, and outdoor substations where humidity and cleaning cycles are common. Coupled with NEC/CEC compliance, the CHMM2 ensures safe operation in hazardous and Classified Locations. Hazardous location ratings include Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1, and Class III environments, expanding application scope to petrochemical, mining, and heavy industry facilities while meeting regulatory expectations. This enables consistent performance during start-up and ongoing use in harsh environments. Key dimensions and weight—11.65 in length, 10.16 in width, 3.1 in height, and about 2.5 lb—support accurate planning for retrofit projects. The compact footprint helps minimize enclosure intrusion and simplifies routing of cables and fixtures. Engineers can model mounting clearances and airflow more reliably when selecting this adapter. Access to official installation instructions and brochures—IF 1915 Top Hat Adapter, CHMM mounting adapters flyer, catalog pages, and the Eaton specification sheet—reduces risk and accelerates commissioning. Engineering teams benefit from comprehensive technical resources that support non-destructive upgrades and adherence to safety protocols. This documentation reinforces repeatable, compliant retrofits across multiple facilities and OEM luminaires.
