January 21, 2014 - RR.Stahl releases EXLUX 6001 fluorescent lights for use in Ex zone 1/21 and 2/22 hazardous areas.
EXLUX 6001 luminaires are considerably more compact, stable, and torsion-resistant than their EXLUX 6000 predecessors. Depending on their performance class, the 6001 luminaires are a quarter to a third lighter than their predecessor models. The devices can be operated at extremely low ambient temperatures (as low as -30 °C). In many cases, this amounts to a decisive extension of the application range that saves costs by making extra specifications unnecessary.
In order to facilitate a step-by-step exchange of existing EXLUX pendants, the installation of the units remains fully compatible to the predecessor series. Moreover, swiftly removable replacement parts ensure quick and easy maintenance. Like before, the lights are available with customer-specific modifications on request.
In addition, R. STAHL provides especially cost-efficient standard models with a power consumption of 18 W, 36 W, or 58 W that are available at short notice. Featuring 4 mm² cage clamp terminals, 5-core through-wiring, and a full-phase safety shutdown, these models are adequately equipped for the majority of all typical applications.
The series fully complies with the requirements of all current industry standards. Notably, the silicone-based foamed gasket has been optimised for maximum durability, as stipulated by IEC 60079. This sealing solution, which is resistant to various chemicals as well as UV radiation, the fitting’s hinge, and a newly designed central lock reliably ensure IP66/IP67 protection over many years.
