Eaton Specification Sheet - 746AQHDL
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 746AQHDL uses a copper-free aluminum housing that resists corrosion in harsh industrial environments, delivering long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs for oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities. This translates to lower total cost of ownership as uptime improves and replacement cycles lengthen. Feature → Application: With IP66 protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure, the fixture thrives in dusty, wet, and corrosive atmospheres, ensuring consistent illumination for critical operations such as tank cleaning, valve inspection, and panel troubleshooting. Feature → Application: Quartz halogen lamp at 500 W provides high-intensity light with quick start-up, enabling precise inspection and safe handling during maintenance windows, while the medium optical distribution supports efficient coverage of workspace without glare. Feature → Application: Surface mounting plus a handle and clamp simplifies retrofits and new installs, reducing installation time and allowing rapid redeployment across multiple sites, from refineries to onshore/offshore facilities. Feature → Application: NEC/CEC compliance, Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings, IP66, and 4X protection address regulatory requirements and procurement criteria, easing certification reviews and accelerating project timelines. Feature → Application: The lens is heat-resistant glass, and the lamp is quartz halogen, which minimizes lens damage from heat and provides stable color rendering, improving fault detection accuracy and reducing rework. Feature → Application: The 746AQHDL is compatible with Eaton’s Pauluhn 700-series ecosystem, and related documentation (LBL1482 lens replacement) supports proactive maintenance planning and lifecycle management in controlled environments.
