FAQs
Installing VMVL-3-UNV1 in hazardous locations starts with verifying Class I Division 2 or Zone 2 compliance, then selecting suitable mounting hardware since the unit uses no mounting module. Ensure enclosure meets IP66 and NEMA 4X requirements, connect to a dimmable driver compatible with the 100-277 Vac / 127-250 Vdc input, and position to maximize Type V light distribution. Use proper PPE and follow Eaton’s IF 1882 instructions for wiring, grounding, and sensor integration to achieve reliable long-term performance.
Key specs include 28W power, 3000 lumens, 123 lm/W, voltage rating 100-277 Vac and 127-250 Vdc, and 50/60 Hz operation with a dimmable driver. These align with NEC and CEC energy and lighting standards while enabling flexible control within hazardous-area classifications. The high power factor (>0.90) supports efficient power distribution, and the HID-equivalent performance helps maintain compliance with illumination levels in safety-critical zones.
Yes, VMVL-3-UNV1 is designed for Zone 21 hazardous locations and other classified spaces, with IECEx/ATEX certification confirming suitability for explosive atmospheres. IP66 protection guards against dust ingress and powerful water jets, while NEMA 4X provides corrosion resistance and robust enclosure integrity. Together, these protections reduce maintenance frequency and improve uptime in challenging environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and offshore rigs.
The luminaire carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, με Zone 21 hazardous rating, IP66 ingress protection, and NEMA 4X enclosure. This combination supports compliance across North American and international facilities, simplifies vendor qualification, and accelerates regulatory approvals. For procurement and safety programs, these certifications translate to lower risk, streamlined commissioning, and predictable lifecycle performance in hazardous-area lighting projects.
