AS500® FF Halogen is a compact and highly versatile, ultra heavy-duty work lamp for use on mining machinery; suitable for 24V and 12V electrical systems. Good lighting is essential to create a safe and productive work area where machine operators can clearly see their work environment and identify any hazards in time to take the required action. The AS500® FF is engineered to deliver excellent lighting under continuous use in the extreme environmental conditions encountered in mining applications. AS500® FF lamps employ Hella Free-Form optics to deliver an homogenous spread of light, enabling operators to see comfortably for long periods of time. The light distribution of the beam ensures an absence of sharp transitions from light to dark in the operator’s visual field, thus significantly reducing adaptation-related eye fatigue and stress. The optical modules comprise of a precision-moulded specular reflector, permanently assembled to a corrosion-resistant hardened glass refractor lens and machined lamp holder, ensuring perfect focus of each unit. A choice of wide and narrow asymmetric beam types is available to suit different applications. (See technical section for more information on Hella’s applications engineering service.) The integrated, patented Hella MustADD® filter in the AS500® FF ensures optimum optical performance is maintained over the product’s life in the adverse atmospheres typically encountered in mining. (See technical section for more information.) Safe and reliable electrical connection is facilitated via a short length of highly flexible double insulated cable, terminated as standard in DT or AMP connectors; other connector options can be supplied as special orders. An ergonomic heavy-duty cast aluminum body with an integral “non-snag” adjustment handle is the basis of all AS500® FF lights. A robust lens retaining ring with captive M4 Allen bolts enables rapid routine service access from the front, while high temperature O-ring seals ensure effective sealing. A UV resistant multi-stage powder coating process ensures optimal corrosion protection. Accurate and stable aiming in a high vibration environment in all assembly positions is a vital aspect of good lighting. The AS500® FF offers a range of secure mounting options to suit almost any requirement. The standard trunnion bracket can be fitted to the body in six different mounting positions; all of which locate the axis of rotation in the centre of gravity to minimize mechanical stress. Four M6 Allen bolts, in arced slots and fixed pivot points, ensure that the aiming angle can be locked securely. Secondary mounting holes in the base of the AS500® FF enables direct mounting onto equipment, or the use of an optional pedestal bracket. The supplied heavy gauge stainless steel hardware is non-resonant and highly corrosion resistant. The AS500® FF features integral DRACO® dampers that eliminate all metal-to-metal contact between the lamp and bracket to reduce the intensity of shock and vibration communicated to the light. (See technical section for more information.) Sustainable use of resources and high ownership value is ensured through the modular system design, enabling AS500® FF users to re-use, repair or recycle their lights into new applications. Both beam types and mounting bracket positions and options can be changed. Halogen models can also be upgraded to Xenon and other future options.
