Eaton Specification Sheet - FR320HEMT2
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The FR320HEMT2 uses a 2 ft lamp length in a 3-lamp configuration, delivering a compact, even light layer across maritime interiors. This precise arrangement minimizes shadows in work zones and crew areas, enhancing visibility during routine maintenance and critical inspections. It is well suited for recessed ceiling installations in marine corridors, engine rooms, and crew compartments where space is limited but consistent illumination is essential. Business Impact: Improved visibility translates to faster maintenance cycles and safer operations, ultimately reducing downtime and labor costs on vessels. Application: Ideal for retrofit projects and new builds in offshore platforms, cargo ships, and passenger ferries that demand reliable, shipboard-grade lighting. Light quality supports detailed tasks and inspection workflows in confined spaces.

FAQs
For FR320HEMT2, plan recessed ceiling mounting to align with standard 2 ft cutouts and maintain recommended clearance around the luminaire. Verify mounting hardware compatibility with aluminum housing and ensure wiring cruciforms meet 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuits. Use the test switch during commissioning and confirm the emergency ballast engages on power loss to maintain safe, continuous illumination during critical operations.
FR320HEMT2 delivers 20W output across a 2 ft lamp length in a 3-lamp configuration, operating at 120 VAC and 60 Hz, with a 277V max for back-up circuits. The aluminum housing and drop dish prismatic lens provide robust light distribution with glare control. These specs support reliable operation in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, ensuring compliance and consistent visibility for maintenance and safety tasks offshore.
Yes. FR320HEMT2 is designed to integrate with Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn Meridian FR marine interior luminaires. Its recessed ceiling mounting and compatible voltage ranges simplify retrofits and new installations on vessels employing Meridian FR components, reducing integration time and limiting the need for custom mounting hardware or unusual wiring schemes.
FR320HEMT2 is certified for NEC/CEC standards and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. This combination satisfies common marine electrical codes while reducing regulatory risk during shipboard retrofits or new-build projects. The unit also includes an emergency back-up ballast and test switch to support safety and compliance audits in offshore environments.
Expected benefits include improved reliability during power interruptions due to the emergency ballast, lower maintenance downtime thanks to robust aluminum housing and durable lens, and energy efficiency from a 20W, 2 ft, 3-lamp configuration. Additionally, NEC/CEC compliance simplifies approvals, accelerating project timelines and delivering predictable lifecycle costs for offshore fleets.
