1.3 Standard unit construction
The following list familiarizes you with some common unit features important to recognize.
End parts: Flexible, plastic-made end parts ensure shock-absorbing and harmless contact to
sensitive and hard surface in case the luminary drops to the ground even from high position.
Light construction affects the total weight of the unit itself.
Transparent PC –tube: Polycarbonate tube, being durable, flexible and lightweight plastic,
brings advantage for use. Unique antistatic treatment allows the use of PC in explosion
hazardous areas.
Aluminium frame: Nearly all Slam®Hornet–units are based on use of solid but flexible
aluminium frame. Components are tightened with screws on it, making the unit tough and
durable in severe conditions. Moreover, the frame derives excessive heat out from the
luminary thereby extending lifetime of the unit.
Electronic control gear: The control gear in controlling the supply of energy to the light
source of the luminaire.The contol gears are independent from each others. Under failure of
one control gear, the other still continues operating. Low-voltage protection (smart-feature)
brings reliability and convenience for use, especially when operating with transformers or with
long cables.

6/16
Compact fluorescent lamp (CFL): CFL are standard types but undergo special spark-
prevention process (encapsulation) in the factory. They also have a component certificate.
Light colour is cool-white and colour temperature 4000 K –not blinding the user’s eyes but
bringing appropriate help for the user to complete his job.
Led module (LED): Light source combining Light Emitting Diodes with convenient and safe
light distribution. Led module is explosion protected. Photobiological safety of Led module has
been taken into account.
Cable: Standard cable of the Slam®Hornet series is H07BQ-F. This cable has polyurethane
(PUR) outer sleeve. PUR withstands well chemicals as well mechanical wearing. However,
the user has an option to specify cable type in accordance with work site requirements of own.
Socket: Optional in-built sockets (receptacles) for linking the Slam®Hornet units in series
(apart from CSH118)

2. Prior to use
2.1 Selection of right equipment
You need to be sure that the equipment you intend to take into explosion-hazardous area
matches up with the zone classification and other safety requirements related. The operator is
solely responsible for the correct selection and use of the equipment at his site. At least the
following points should be notified prior to use:

8/16
2.1.1 Intended purpose of equipment
Please keep in mind what the actual application of equipment is. For example in case the
equipment is to be moved when connected to the supply it needs to be designed for that
purpose. If the certification is mentioning “portable” it means that the equipment is suitable
and tested for portable use. If the certification does not mention portable it means that the
equipment shall not be moved when it is in operation (reliable fixing of equipment).
Slam®-units are designed and tested for portable use
2.1.2 Application of use (Zone XX) in accordance with
equipment category
Operator has the best knowledge of area classification at his site. To help the operators’
selection of equipment the certification is describing the equipment category. For explosion
hazardous areas there are three equipment categories.
Category 1 product is suitable for use in Zones 0, 1 and 2 / (20, 21 and 22)
Category 2 product is suitable for use in Zones 1 and 2 / (21 and 22)
Category 3 product is suitable for use in Zones 2 / (22)
Slam®-units mentioned in this instruction fall into Category 2 equipment
2.1.3 Explosion group (IIA, IIB or IIC) in accordance with
Equipment group (IIA, IIB or IIC)
This information is vital because the substances require different amount of energy to be
ignited. Safety requirements for equipment are not the same for different substances (e.g.
static electricity requirements).Therefore making the selection easier the gases are divided to
three different groups (IIA, IIB and IIC). Further information about the substances can be
found from EN/IEC 60079-20-1 (Data for flammable gases and vapours, relating to the use of
electrical apparatus).
Slam®-units mentioned in this instruction are Equipment group IIC

9/16
2.1.4 Temperature class of the equipment
Please observe the Ignition Temperature (IT) of the substance creating the explosion hazard
at your site. Select the equipment based on IT of the substance. The temperature of the
equipment must be lower than IT. The highest temperature of the equipment is specified by
using Temperature Classes T1 to T6.
Example:
Petroleum ignition temperature is approximately 250 Celsius Maximum allowed
temperature class of the equipment is T3 (< 200° C)
Slam®units with Fluorescent tube mentioned in this instruction are Temperature Class T3 (GASES)
Slam®units with LED modules mentioned in this instruction are Temperature Class T4 (GASES)
Slam®-units with fluorescent tube and LED modules mentioned in this instruction are having maximum
surface temperature of 90⁰C (DUSTS)
2.1.5 Environmental criteria
Please observe the ambient temperature of the application in use because certification is
valid for temperatures between –20°C --- + 40°C. Some Slam®Hornet luminaries are certified
for temperatures between –40°C --- + 40°C. Please see type label of the product for further
data. If the equipment is used in other temperatures than mentioned the safety can not be
guaranteed.
Selection and use of equipment is always under the responsibility of the operator.
Please note that all of the aforementioned criteria are to be fulfilled when selecting the
equipment.
Please do not take any unnecessary risks!

3. Operating instructions
3.1 Personnel
The use of the equipment is to be controlled and accepted by the operator. The personnel
using the unit have to be authorized by the operator or his representative. In case of further
training of using the equipment please contact the local supplier of this equipment.
3.2 Visual Inspection of Slam®Hornet
As for all equipment to be used inside explosion hazardous area it is recommended that
before taking the unit into Ex –area, at least a visual re-inspection on the unit was taken and
an analysis made that the unit is un-damaged (e.g. any part or wires are loose damaged or
disconnected)
In case faults or defects on the unit are noticed, it is prohibited to use the unit or to take such
a unit into Ex –area until corrective actions have been made.
3.3 Special Attention on 2-pole use (24 V or 42 V)
Certain Slam®Hornet -units are designed to be used together with step-down transformers.
Using Slam®Hornet -unit with transformers of 2-pole socket outlets (without earthing /
bonding) imposes certain extra requirements for the unit itself. All the external metal and
aluminium parts of the Slam®Hornet are replaced by the manufacturer with plastic parts or
equipped with plastic covers in order to avoid electrostatic charging and a consequent risk of
explosion. This process can only be done by manufacturer because the certification of the
product.
Please inform us about your requirement for 2-pole use when placing the order. Products
originally manufactured for 3-pole use can not be modified later for 2-pole use by the operator.
Such modifications are only allowed to be carried out by the manufacturer or under
supervision of the manufacturer.
Note! Lack of equipotential bonding may cause danger in Ex –area, therefore please pay
special attention to all installations of yours involving metallic parts. Static charging is
especially noted on standards referring to installations in explosion hazardous areas (e.g.
EN/IEC 60079-14).

11/16
3.4 Connection to the supply
It is recommended that the unit is first connected to the mains / transformer before entering
the explosion-hazardous area. Potential equalization should be arranged by the operator prior
entering explosion hazardous area.
Slam®Hornet-units with 2-pole supply (without bonding connection) can be taken to explosion
hazardous area without connecting it to the supply first.
3.4.1 Requirements for supply (electricity)
The following main requirements should be taken into account:
Supply voltage: Variation may be maximum +/- 6% from the value stated in the unit type
label.
Current: Maximum current of the system is 16 A.
Frequency: Standard 50 Hz if not otherwise stated in the type label.
Fuse protection: The supply has a fuse with a breaking capacity of at least 1500 A
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB): It is recommended to use a supply with 30 mA
ELCB.
Please observe the type label for further data. Luminaires for 110 VAC or 230 V supply are to
be connected to a supply incorporating protective earth conductor.

12/16
3.6 Linking in series
Certain Slam®Hornet units may be equipped with Ex –certified socket in the factory. Sockets
are considered as one option so they are added to the unit upon customer’s special request.
In-built sockets are recommended when the illuminated area is notably large, complex or not
enough wiring points are available. Linking the units in series save time, amount of cable and
provide an opportunity to build a chain of lights to provide enough illumination in the darkness.
When linking Slam®Hornet –lights together, please take the following steps:
1) If using transformer, ensure its condition and capability to supply correct amount of voltage, current and
power (VA)
2) Connect the first unit outside the Ex –area
3) Then connect the other luminaries to each other one by one
4) The in-built socket is only for chaining Slam®Hornet units.
5) Fix them with accessories you have selected
6) Take the chain into Ex –area
Amount of lights which may be connected with each other depends on the supply voltage.
Competent person of the operator shall control and accept the temporary electrical
installation at the site.
Before connecting Slam®Hornet luminaries together, please ensure the following points.
1. The total length of the light chain does not exceed 66m. Please see additonal detail below the chart.
2. The total current of the electrical installation does not exceed 16A.

Please note that even if the voltage drop allows certain amount of luminaries to be
linked together, too long chain of luminaries may affect the ability of the fuses in the
electrical input to work properly in a fault situation. Therefore it is not recommended to
chain luminaries to a longer chain than 66m measured from the protective fuse (when
the electrical supply is protected with C-curve fuse). Please refer to local applicable
laws and requirements for electrical installations.
The Slam®Hornet control gear protects itself against excessive voltage drops (numerous
linking) by switching itself off. If too many units are connected to the chain, some units of the
chain will switch off. You may start up by unplugging the last units on the line.
Voltage peaks are more harmful and may damage the control gear permanently when
subjected to excessive peaks continuously.
If fluorescent tubes are flickering when the units are chained up, it may be due to excessive
linking. This may shorten notably the lifetime of fluorescent tube. Unplug the last unit on the
line to ensure proper function of the unit.
4. Inspection & Maintenance
4.1 After use
