    Fluorescent Luminaires operate in hazardous areas. - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    December 11, 2013 - Suitable for use in Ex zone 1/21 and 2/22 hazardous areas, EXLUX 6001 Luminaires come in 18, 36, or 58 W models that operate at ambient temperatures as low as -30C. Units include 4 mm cage clamp terminals, 5-core through-wiring, and full-phase safety shutdown. Silicone based foam gasket is resistant to various chemicals as well as UV radiation. In addition to sealing solution, fitting's hinge and central lock ensure IP67 protection over many years. Original Press Release R. Stahl, Inc. 9001 Knight Rd. Houston, TX, 77054 USA R. STAHL's new line of light fittings for use in Ex zone 1/21 and 2/22 hazardous areas achieves better energy efficiency than comparable devices and provides approximately 10% more luminous intensity. New EXLUX 6001 luminaires also feature a design that is considerably more compact, stable, and torsion-resistant than their EXLUX 6000 predecessors. While more than one million of the long-proven EXLUX 6000 lights have been deployed worldwide over the last twenty-odd years, the new generation now meets increasing user demand for a similarly economic, yet enhanced product with improved technical features reflecting the most current state of the art. Depending on their performance class, the 6001 luminaires are a quarter to a third lighter than their predecessor models and many competing products. Users now also benefit from the extremely robust design of these slimmer, narrower units: unlike most lights, the new 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 new units remains fully compatible to the predecessor series. Moreover, swiftly removable replacement parts ensure quick and easy maintenance. Like before, the new 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 mm 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 new series fully complies with the requirements of all current industry standards. Notably, the new 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 fittings hinge, and a newly designed central lock reliably ensure IP67 protection over many years.

    6001 series lights are available as of now. However, more products are due to follow in the new EXLUX generation: in 2013 and 2014, the program will be extended both by optional accessories, such as pole mount adapters, and by additional models such as emergency lights, lights with an address module, and T5 lights for use in zone 2. Moreover, LED lights from R. STAHL will also be available soon, though these will be based on a completely different housing and equipped with materials and features optimised for LED technology.

    For more than 80 years, R. STAHL has been a trendsetting manufacturer of safety technology for hazardous areas. Based in Waldenburg, Germany, the company is one of the world's leading suppliers of explosion-protected automation, control and distribution, installation, operating and monitoring, lighting, signaling and alarm components and systems.

    Woodstock Opera House lighting setup upgraded - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    WOODSTOCK Streamlining of cables and the installation of new LED fixtures and dimmers are brightening the outlook of the lighting setup at the Woodstock Opera House.

    The second of a two-phase project to update old equipment will get going in January when contractors install 96 new dimmers to replace 36 old ones. Theyll also rearrange and add circuits.

    During the first phase, completed earlier this year, the Opera House got a new digital lighting control console, LED stage lighting fixtures and low-voltage wiring. Phase one of the project cost the city about $86,000.

    Contracts for the second phase were approved by the City Council last week at a cost of about $65,000.

    The improvements up efficiency while pulling lighting components into a more organized state, Opera House Director John Scharres said.

    Because theyve been added over periods of time, theyre in different housing, have different configurations, he said. Were taking the opportunity to straighten all of this out and make it essentially state of the art.

    The LED lighting fixtures installed earlier this year open up color options for the theater. Previous fixtures were white lamp stage lights, colored by shaded gels. The new LED lights have the ability to, through digital controls, come up with just about any color instantaneously.

    Its a fraction of the size of whats currently doing the work and expands our capability by a significant margin, Scharres said.

    Trailer Wiring & Electrical – Installation Guide | Hitch Info - December 6, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Chapter6 - Wiring/Electrical

    Before you can legally tow your trailer on public roads, you have to have working trailer lights. In fact, this is more important than simply risking a ticket - if your trailer lights don't work, you're inviting an accident. Always check your trailer lights before you leave on any towing trip, no matter how short.

    Most trailers come with lights and wiring installed for you. If your trailer's lights and wiring are missing or beyond repair, it's usually very easy to install replacements. Any reputable camping or trailer center will have kits that use standard wiring connections and standard color-coded wires.

    Understanding Trailer WiringTrailer wiring harnesses use 4 to 7 wires to control basic lighting and brake functions. The simplest connectors for the smallest trailers use four wires on a flat plug to control tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals. Connectors with 5, 6, and 7 wires add (in order) backup lights, electric brake control, and auxiliary power. To make trailer wiring less confusing, there's a standard color-coding for each of the 7 possible wires and their functions. The chart in Figure 6-1 shows standard wire colors and their functions:

    4-Way

    5-Way

    6-Way

    7-Way

    Installing the Wiring Margin of Error: 1/4"

    Local and national codes require wire that is insulated and is the most efficient size for the appropriate application. The most commonly used interior wiring is a 12 or 14-gauge NM (nonmetallic) sheathed cable, sometimes called "Romex." Within the cable are plastic-coated copper wires, colored for each function.

    Hot wires, usually black (sometimes red or blue), carry the power. Neutral wires, usually white, return the power. Grounding wires of bare copper (sometimes green or green and yellow) provide a path to the ground when an electrical failure occurs.

    Beginning at the breaker box, expose enough wiring to reach the breaker switch and neutral bus bar. Use a cable stripper to prevent cutting the plastic coating on the wires.

    Knock out a box tab that will provide a direct route to the switch for the wiring. Knock out the tab at the junction box that provides the closest connection for each separate cable. Pull the wire and secure with a cable connector. Make sure that only the uncut sheathing is clamped at this opening.

    Splice the cable back far enough to allow at least 6" of lead wire to stick out of the face of the box.

    Push the wire through each hole and roll the wire within the notches of the studs, keeping the wire smooth and free from kinks. Secure it with horseshoe nails at the notches. Local code will tell you how close to the junction box the first horseshoe nail must be (usually 8"), and how often the wire must be supported (usually every 4 1/2').

    If, for any reason, you find that a wire does not reach from one junction box to another, do not tape two wires together to make it longer. Separate wires should only be connected at junction boxes that will be placed in the wall. It is a good idea, and often required by code, to make these junction boxes accessible by placing a solid cover-plate over a junction that will not make use of a receptacle. Try to play it safe and use a wire that is long enough to reach.

    Provide at least 6" of wire to spare at each end. Local code may vary on this length, so be sure to check. It is a good idea to label both ends of each wire with colored tape so you can always determine where it leads.

    Where there is less than 1 1/4" between the face of the stud and the wiring, nail guards should be placed on the studs to protect the wire from any nails or screws that will attach the wall covering.

    Homes have numerous light fixtures, devices and appliances requiring electrical power. Outlets are positioned in every room --- typically multiple outlets per room. Installing residential electrical wire connects outlets to a main circuit breaker --- the main source of power --- generated from a larger, outside source. Electrical wire is one of the first installation requirements after basic framing has been completed on a new house; although new wiring can be added at any time. Consider consulting an electrical professional before attempting any electrical installations.

    Cable access wiring is simple because coaxial cable (whats used for television transmission) is a single wire with insulation and an all-weather outer coating. The single wire means theres no need to worry about a wrong connection or using the wrong type of cable. Coaxial cable is the same and fittings, connections and jacks have the same specifications. If you want to wire your house for cable dont worry about getting the right kind because there is only one. You also dont have to worry about electricity or other hazards because coaxial cable carries no current.

    Whether you have in-ground cable service or a satellite, the first thing to do is get the cable inside. There are two options: drill a hole or find an adequate opening. Drilling means having a special drill bit that will penetrate brick (if you have a brick home) and long enough to reach through to the interior. Most of these bits are about 10 inches long. You can also get grommets to fit around the cable to make a tight waterproof seal where the cable enters the building.

    Once inside you should make an effort to make the cable as unobtrusive as possible. A black cable running across the floor doesnt look good and you dont want anyone tripping or snagging the cable. A good way to wire cable in the house is around the edge and underneath wall-to-wall carpeting. This way keeps the cable out of sight and easy to install. When the cable comes into the house, cut it about 6 inches long and crimp a threaded fitting to the end. Cable crimping tools are easily found in all hardware and electronic stores. Attach a male/male adapter to the cable end. This is a small metal fitting with threads on both sides. It is sort of a two-sided screw. Then attach your cable and run it to the cable or satellite converter box or directly to your cable ready TV.

    If you bring the cable in downstairs and want it upstairs, your choices are the same: drill a hole or find an unobtrusive way to run the cable up the stairs and to the television. Carpeted stairs make this easy just like with the carpeted room installation. If not you might have to drill a hole in a wall and run the cable through the space up to the upstairs. This is done with a cable snake, another tool you can buy or rent. Its a long flexible metal probe that looks like a long thin spring. Uncoil it into the hole from the upstairs down to the hole in the downstairs wall. Attach the cable to the snake and pull up and out upstairs. Just make sure you have plenty of cable for this. Once the cable is upstairs, use the grommets to seal and make a more attractive finish to the location where the cable emerges from the wall.

    How to Install Electrical Wiring | DoItYourself.com - November 28, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Use these tips and instructions for adding new electrical wiring. Take a few minutes to read the directions thoroughly. Following these instructions can save you time and effort and ensure a safe installation.

    BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD WIRING

    Before beginning any electrical repair, shut off the power. Remove the fuse or trip the breaker for the circuit you will be working on in your service panel. Use a neon tester to be sure the power is off. If there is any doubt, you can remove the main fuse or trip the main breaker. Remember: Removing the main fuse or tripping the main breaker will usually shut off the power to the entire house.

    Electrical wires are color coded to prevent wiring errors. White wires almost always connect to other white wires or to chrome terminal screws on switches and receptacles. Some wiring devicessuch as receptaclesare back-wired by pushing the bare wire end into spring grip holes. These wiring devices are plainly labeled to show which color goes into each spring grip hole. Switches are nearly always connected into black wires in cables. The only exception is where a cable is extended, making it necessary for the white wire to play the role of the black wire. When this is necessary, the white wires should be painted black to prevent future wiring errors. Study the wiring diagram. This will help you understand the basic principles of good wiring. Also, find a good electrical how-to book. It's one book every homeowner should keep on hand for ready reference. Most home wiring is complete with either No. 14 gauge or No. 12 gauge wiring. No. 14 is the smallest wiring permitted under most codes. Always use the same size cable for a continuation of any extended wiring circuit.

    CONNECT NEW WIRING TO LAST OUTLET IN CABLE

    New wiring should be connected to the last outlet in a run of cable. To locate the last outlet in the run, shut off the current. Remove the cover plates from each outlet on the circuit. The last outlet in the run has wires connected to only two of the four terminal screws. The two unused terminal screws on the last receptacle serve as a starting point for wiring to a new outlet.

    ATTACHING CABLE FOR NEW WIRING

    Shut off the power to the circuit you will be working on at the service panel. Loosen the screws holding the receptacle in the box and remove it, as shown. Attach the the earth wire (the bare or green) to the chrome terminal. The yellow (or green in some instances) wire should be connected to the receptacle and the box maintaining the equipotential bonding on the earth system. The earth wires should only be connected to the correct screw terminals on the recepticle to the brass terminal on the receptacle and to the box, if the box is metal. Use care to match the size of the original cable. If No. 12 wire is used, continue with No. 12. If No. 14 wire is used, use No. 14 for continuing the cable. The size of the cable is usually stamped on the side of the cable. New wiring can be connected to continue the run beyond the last receptacle. Note that the new wires are pulled through knockout plugs in the back of the outlet box.

    ADDING NEW WIRING FROM A JUNCTION BOX

    New wiring can also be tied into a junction box, unless the wiring in the junction box is already at maximum capacity. Before tying in at a junction box, always trace the cables leading to the box to check the voltage. Be sure you are not connecting a 120-volt outlet to a run of wire providing 240 volts for larger appliances. To tie in new wiring at a junction box, first shut off the current at the service panel. Locate the main supply cable coming into the junction box from the service panel. Locate the supply wire by tracing the white wires. All white wires in the junction box will be attached to the white wire on the supply line. Knock out the unused plug on the junction box and run the new line from the box as illustrated. Be sure to use a cable clamp to secure the cable to the junction box.
