Ex-protected hand and machine lamps HL/ML

(Zone 1, 2, 21, 22)

These powerful explosion-protected hand lamps with fluorescent lamps and LEDs were developed especially for use during inspection and maintenance work in hazardous areas. Typical applications are found, for example in the chemical industry, offshore, in the automotive sector, in the aircraft industry or in shipyards. Due to their small size and high light output, these rugged lights are especially suited for lighting in tight spaces, the interior of machinery, silos, etc. wherever a reliable portable light source is required. With the appropriate accessories (optional) the machine lights can also be used, for example, for lighting sampling ports or as tube gauge lights or they can easily be mounted on railing pipes.

Description

Light technology

All hand and machine lamps feature a protective polycarbonate tube with reflector. They are available as single and twin two-pin fluorescent lamp versions with integrated electronic ballast (EVG) as well as in LED technology. The outstanding features of the white LED technology are the insensitivity to shock and vibration, as well as the enormous longevity that makes a lamp change over the lifetime of the LED hand lamp superfluous.

Application

Because they are small in size and, at the same time, have a high light output and the high degree of protection IP 68, these rugged lights are particularly suitable for sewage treatment plants where flooding is possible, and wherever a reliable, robust and portable light source is required. The hand and machine lamps are used in engineering, printing machines, in the petrochemical and process industries as well as in the food industry (dusts). They are also suitable for temporary installations where maintenance, alteration and maintenance work are carried out in facilities in the oil and gas industry, for plant construction, in shipyards, or during the cleaning of tanks. Thanks to the special accessories, the lamps can be mounted by clamps on pipes (railing in the chemical and oil rigs) or with magnets directly to the machine housing or tank walls. At petrol stations, machine lamps can be installed in the illuminated ram protection around fuel pumps. Explosion-protected hand and machine lamps contribute to the operational safety during the construction of airplanes as well as during maintenance work in shipyards work. Here various people are at work in confined spaces in the cargo hold or in the cabin, cleaning parts with solvents, painting or preserving surfaces. During maintenance, the area surrounding the aircraft hull is normally declared as Zone 2, while empty and vented tanks are normally declared as Zone 1.

Safe handling

For applications where, in accordance with the installation regulations, personal protection is required, hand lamps for low voltages or in the “TR“ version with an integrated isolation transformer in the supply line or with a residual current circuit breaker with a rated tripping current of 10 mA are available. These protective devices in explosion-protected design can be placed in the immediate vicinity of the lamps or beside the sockets. The hand lamp has a ribbed neoprene rubber handle with a trumpet-shaped cable gland made of metal and a neoprene rubber end cap with attachment hook for hanging up the light in the workplace. The end caps of the machine lamps are also made of durable neoprene rubber. The machine lamps are mounted directly on the machine using suitable clamps. Optionally, all hand and machine lamps can also be fitted with an eXLink connector for the quick and easy disconnection of the power cord at the lamp.
