USL 06-Ex Installation Instructions

General:
The unit is usually bolted with its stainless steel hinged bracket to a Sight Glass fitting, such as the cover flange of a bolted circular Sight Glass or a visual flow indicator or the slotted cover nut of a screwed flange Sight Glass.

Lumiglas USL 06 fits the following Sight Glass sizes:

  • circular Sight Glass fittings DIN 28120 and 28121, DN 50 (3") and larger

  • visual flow indicators, DN 50 (3") and larger

  • circular screwed Sight Glass fittings (Series MV)

  • Size DN 65: adapter flange installation

  • Size DN 80 or larger: hinged bracket installation

Hinged bracket installation:
The hinged backed is fastened on the flange cover by means of the M8 screw which comes with the Lumiglas unit.

Adapter flange installation:
The adapter flange is shaped to fit around the luminaire lens ring. It is either fitted directly onto the cover nut of a Sight Glass Series MV, or, depending on size, between cover nut and glass. In the latter case ensure that:

  • an appropriate flat gasket is fitted between Sight Glass disc and adapter flange

  • the slotted cover nut is firmly tightened

Then insert the luminaire into the adapter flange and tighten the lateral locking screws evenly.

Electrical Connection:

Type 1, resin cast cable tail

The Luminaire is internally ready connected at the factory. The cable in the gland is cast into solid resin to provide a pressure tight cable entry. Connect the external ground terminal (1) to the main ground, and connect the supply cable leads to the main system by means of an explosion proof switch or terminal box. The cable should be suspended no more than 1m from the cable entry.

Note: Never try to open the cable gland, as this would destroy the resin sealing and eliminate the explosion-protection of this luminaire. For cable replacement, e.g. to install a longer cable, always loosen the internal cable connections before unscrewing the cable entry gland.

Type 2, with terminal box

Open the terminal box cover. Loosen the cable tension relief screws (and with them the anti-rotation claw) and pass the cable through the gland so that the leads are just long enough for the bared ends to reach into the terminals. Retighten the screws and connect the bared cable lead ends securely to main terminal block 6. Connect the ground lead to internal safety ground terminal 5. The external ground terminal requires connection to suitable ground. Check gasket for good condition and put the cover back in place.

Lamp Change:

  • switch off luminaire power supply

  • wait for the cooling down time period as stated on the luminaire label

  • loosen locking screw 2 to release tab 3

  • use the special claw spanner to loosen the notched lens ring 4 and remove lens ring

  • replace old halogen lamp (pull off 2-pin socket, resp. screw out of E 27 socket); bare fingers must not touch the glass of the new lamp

  • refit lens ring 4, tighten firmly with special claw spanner against ring sealing, so that tab 3 meets one of the lens rings notches

  • tighten locking screw 2 and reconnect power
