Federal Signal WMXC-SB Explosion Proof Wall Mount Light

Product Description

The Federal Signal Corporation WMXC-SB is a wall-mounted explosion-proof light designed for use in hazardous location environments where ignitable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. This fixture provides reliable illumination in areas where standard lighting poses an unacceptable ignition risk. The rugged construction and explosion-proof housing make it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Electrical contractors and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary trades responsible for specifying, installing, and servicing this type of fixture.

The WMXC-SB is intended for wall-mount installation in hazardous location classifications where explosion-proof luminaires are required by code. Typical installations include petrochemical facilities, oil and gas processing areas, industrial plants, and similar environments where flammable atmospheres may exist. This fixture is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit projects in hazardous-rated spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with hazardous location wiring requirements per the National Electrical Code (NEC) Articles 500-516. Power must be completely de-energized and locked out before mounting or wiring the fixture. Verify the area hazardous location classification before installation to confirm the fixture rating matches the designated zone or division. Do not modify the explosion-proof housing or conduit seals, as doing so may void the hazardous location rating.
