FAQs
The EPP42A is designed specifically for pendant mounting with a copper-free aluminum guard, delivering robust protection in hazardous environments. Its IP66 and NEMA 4X construction ensure ingress protection against dust and water, while the pendant mount simplifies installation, alignment, and serviceability in tight spaces commonly found in plants and refineries.
The module uses 2x27W incandescent lamps with a maximum A-19 lamp size and operates at 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz. This combination provides reliable, familiar illumination while minimizing ballast or driver complexity, making replacement straightforward and ensuring consistent light output across typical work zones.
Yes. The EPP42A is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, specifically Class I, Division 1 and 2, which supports safe operation in environments with flammable gases or vapors. This rating, along with IP66 and 4X protection, helps maintain compliance and reduces the need for frequent luminaire upgrades in regulated zones.
When installing the EPP42A, ensure the pendant mounting area is clean and free of obstructions to maintain gasket integrity. Use proper strain relief and sealing practices at entry points, and verify that the globe and guard are properly seated to preserve the IP66 and NEMA 4X protections, especially in washdown or dusty environments typical of processing facilities.
The EPP42A’s rugged copper-free aluminum guard, tempered glass globe, and corrosion-resistant construction minimize maintenance needs in harsh environments. Its certified ratings reduce risk of non-compliance, extend service life, and lower total cost of ownership by decreasing downtime, replacement frequency, and maintenance labor in hazardous-area lighting applications.
