BS 61**

Product Description and Application

The head lights of the BS 61** series are designed for application in potentially explosive atmospheres. They mainly consist of a "flameproof" enclosure (aluminium, brass or cast iron), a screw-in front ring with silicate glass panes, a diffusing lens and a terminal box having type of explosion protection "increased safety".

 

The lamp, ballast and ignitor are accommodadated within the enclosure. Alternatively, other electrical and electronical components, such as laser distance meters, may be installed.

 

Use

Ideally, they can be used for spotlighting industrial areas. They may be mounted in any position. A mounting bracket, fixed to the enclosure, serves as mounting aid allowing the headlight to be swivelled horizontally and vertically.

The terminal box, containing a terminal board, protective ground conductor terminal and a circuit diagram on the inside of the lid, is flanged to the side of the head light enclosure. The power supply lead is fed into the terminal box through a cable entry (M 36 x 1.5) and is connected according to the enclosed circuit diagram.

 

Particular Features

  • Enclosure can be supplied optionally, either in brass, cast iron or cast aluminium
  • Mirror-coated reflector
  • All built-in components are easily accessible by simply unscrewing the pane
  • On request, anti-glare grating
  • Replaceable terminal box with terminals up to 16 mm²
  • Light colour optionally with metal halide (HQI) or sodium-vapour lamps (NAV)
