Creating Combination Fixtures in the Field
The Federal Signal Global Series Ex de products can be connected together
in the field using interchangeable E-box end caps and a proprietary coupling
system. The proprietary coupling system allows for simple, and cost effective,
wiring from product to product, often eliminating the need for expensive Ex
wiring practices and Ex rated glands. The E-box is available only when factory
installed on an Ex d unit or when used as a E-box spacer adjoining an existing
E-box. for available options, refer to the accessories listed on page 20. When
creating certain fixture combinations, it is necessary to replace the E-box end
caps before mounting the product. If you are creating combination fixtures, refer
to instruction manual 25500259 for specific instructions and details.
A note about combination fixtures: If the product is Ex db marked, it is for use
in gas atmospheres. If the product is Ex db e marked, it uses increased-safety
terminal enclosures and is for use in gas atmospheres. The product is Ex tb
marked for use in dust atmospheres.
