The PB Series of Flameproof Floodlights manufactured by Appleton ATX are designed to illuminate large industrial outdoor and indoor hazardous areas and keep those areas well lit and safe.
These flameproof floodlights are ideal for use in Zones 1 and 2 and 21 and 22 in the oil and gas industry.
The Appleton ATX explosion proof, enclosed and gasketed hazardous area floodlights are available for locations as cold as -40°C (-40°F) and as high as +55°C (+131°F). The optional mounting, efficient light patterns and various wattages enable the floodlight to be placed where required.
The PB Floodlight Series uses a ferromagnetic ballast to optimise energy efficiency, reduce power loss, increase light output and lamp service life.
Features of this explosion and flameproof floodlight include: i) easy and efficient wiring due to a separate Ex e terminal box with wiring onto 2 captive terminals 2 x 6 mm² (2 x 0.009 in²); 2 internal earth terminals capacity 6 mm² (0.009 in²) and 1 external earth terminal capacity 4 mm² (0.006 in²). ii) The lampholder can be easily field-adjustable for both a narrow or wide beam and it operates in any position. iii) A reversible hinge allows for floodlight access from either side. iv) Fast and easy lamp replacement via threaded cover on the side of the fixture. v) The cover is fitted with a short safety chain. vi) Thermoshock & impact-resistant glass which is factory sealed into the cover frame.
