INSPECTEDAND MAINTAINEDBY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANONLY, IN ACCORDANCEWITHALL

APPLICABLEELECTRICAL CODES.

TO AVOIDELECTRIC SHOCK:

•BE CERTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE AND DURING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.

CONDUCTOR.

TO AVOID EXPLOSION:

•MAKE SURE THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS WITHIN THE VOLTAGE RATING.

•ENSURE THE MARKED T RATING IS LESS THAN THE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF THE HAZARDOUS

ATMOSPHERE.

•DO NOT OPERATE IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES ABOVE THOSE INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT

NAMEPLATE.

Attach supply line wires to the appropriate light fixture wires as shown in the

diagram 

Exp Cord Cap

Position device near work area for operation. Run cable to nearby power

source. Insert and twist-lock explosion-proof plug into a compatible receptacle within

the hazardous environment. See plug operation below.

PLUG OPERATION

Electrical connection between plug and compatible receptacle is accomplished

after plug fully inserts into receptacle and rotated clockwise.

1. Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug pin and

receptacle face. Insert plug straight all the way into receptacle until it

cannot go further.

2. Rotate plug clockwise limit (37º), this closes internal contacts and

completes circuit. This also mechanically locks plug into receptacle so it

cannot be pulled out.

3. To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counterclockwise, pull plug

straight out.

The EPL-QP-1X150-100 Quadpod Mounted Explosion Proof Halogen Light Tower is approved for Class I, Divisions 1 & 2,

Groups C & D, and is rated for use in wet and marine environments. The waterproof construction and halogen lamp used

with this unit provides operators with excellent power and economy coupled with high versatility and excellent durability. The

EPL-QP-1X150-100 is mounted atop a three leg tripod fabricated from non-sparking powder coated aluminum.

WIRING

This explosion proof halogen light tower is equipped with 100 feet of 16/3 chemical and abrasion resistant SOOW cord that is fitted with

an explosion proof cord cap for easy connection to explosion proof outlets. Plug options include a 5-15 15 amp straight blade plug for use

with 120V explosion proof outlets, a 5-20 20 amp straight blade plug for use with 120V explosion proof outlets, or a 6-20 20 amp straight

blade plug for use with 220-240V explosion proof outlets. **PLEASE NOTE** voltage ratings on plugs and outlets are MAXIMUM

voltage. For low voltage applications, proper voltage must be applied to the outlet or damage to the light fixture will occur.

We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product,in all locations especially in outdoor areas where

weatherproofing may be required. Universal voltage driver permits operation at 120V - 277V AC, 50 or 60Hz .

Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!

QUADPOD ASSEMBLY

The quadpod assembly consists of 3 parts:

1. Light head

2. Pole w/Legs

3. Wheel base

To assemble quadpod, begin by placing the legs over the wheel base. Tighten bolt to secure the

wheels. The quadpod can now be rolled around on its wheels. Ensure the legs are folded up before

tilting quadpod to maneuver.

WARNING: Use caution before tilting quadpod with a heavy load. For heavy loads, it is

recommended to remove the light head prior to transporting via wheel base! Failure to do so may

cause serious injury or death. Larson Electronics shall not be held liable for injuries caused by

misuse.

1. Place tower in desired location that is flat and able to support the quadpod without falling over.

2. Loosen hand screw and lower legs until firmly stabilizing quadpod.

3. Tighten hand screw to secure legs.

4. With help, place the light head over top pole and tighten hand screw.

Light weight lamps can be attached by tilting quadpod toward the ground with the legs up. Attach light

head to pole, tighten hand screw and tilt back to its vertical position. DO NOT tilt quadpod while

extended to max height. It is recommended to have another person hold the quadpod while tilting

vertically.

For heavy weight lamps, use a ladder and extra help for attaching light head to pole.

Double check that all hand screws are tight before continuing use of the light tower.

EXTENDING

1. Loosen hand screw for extending the light head. Once loose, extend light head until desired

height is achieved with at least 1ft - 2ft remaining inside pole for support.

WARNING: DO NOT over extend light head completely allowing extension pole to free from base! If

the light head becomes free, serious injury or death can occur. Larson Electronics shall not be held

liable for injuries caused by misuse.

2. When desired height is achieved, tighten hand screw to secure light head.

LOWERING

1. To lower mast, grasp light head and slowly loosen hand screw. Lower the light head and

tighten hand screw.

Low Voltage DC

Connect power to power supply outputting low voltage between 9-42 Volts DC.

This variable voltage allows greater versatility without affecting light output. Ensure

deutsch connectors are properly connected (If applicable)

The quadpod mount light tower can be disassembled for storage or transporting. Unplug light from

power source and remove light head following previous steps for attaching.

Once the light head has been removed, loosen hand screw for legs and fold them up. Wheel to

desired location or remove from wheel base for complete disassembly.

THE LENS AND CORD MUST BEROUTINELY CHECKED FOR CUTS, BREAKS, SCRATCHES OR

ANY SEVERE ABRASIONS, ANDIFANY ARE FOUND, THE PARTS MUST BEREPLACED

BEFORE RESUMING USEOF THE LIGHT TOWER.

MAINTENANCE

Caution: To avoid personal injury, disconnect power to the light and allow the unit to cool

down before performing maintenance.

Warning: No user serviceable parts inside of fixture. Risk of electric shock. Removal of the lens

will void the warranty.

1. Perform visual, mechanical and electrical inspections on a regular basis. We recommend

routine checks to be made on a yearly basis. Frequency of use and environment should

determine this. It is recommended to follow an Electrical Preventive Maintenance Program

as described in NFPA 70B: Recommended practice for Electrical Equipment.

2. The lens should be cleaned periodically as needed to ensure continued photometric

performance. Clean the lens with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If not sufficient, use

mild soap or a liquid cleaner.

3. Inspect the cooking fins on the luminaire to ensure that they are free of any obstructions

or contamination (i.e. excessive dust build-up). Clean with a non-abrasive cloth if

needed.

4. Do not operate if the lens is cracked or damaged. All fasteners should be properly seated.
