1. Safety instructions
1. Read this leaflet carefully before commencing to install the RL unit and retain it for future use. Installation can only
be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
2. Check the certification to ensure that the hazardous zone, mains supply, ambient temperature present and ‘T’
rating are is suitable for the environment the unit is being installed in.
3. If the RL unit is to be installed in areas of high vibration, please consult with Nemalux.
4. Externally the RL unit housing is constructed from marine grade aluminium and polycarbonate outer optic, stainless
steel brackets/fasteners and silicone gaskets, internally there are many non metallic components. The end user
must ensure that these materials are suitable for the environment the RL unit will be installed in; Zone 1 or Zone 2
Hazardous areas
Plastic components may be cleaned with water containing a small amount of detergent, followed by a clean
water wash. Chemicals/ oils that come into contact with plastic parts may cause stress cracking and premature
component failure.
5. RL units are designed to withstand marine environments and are tested in accordance with IEC60068-
2-52. However if the SPARTAN unit is to be installed in a very high corrosive environment such as coastal and
offshore the following good practice should be followed:
During installing ensure there are no scratches, chips or defects in external paint surface that
would allow ingress of water to bare aluminium. If so touch up with suitable paint
During installation apply an anti corrosive jointing compound to screw threads such as PSU cover
and external earth points.
During installation ensure exterior surface of the product is not in direct contact with a dissimilar
metal such as galvanised steel. If so fit a nylon barrier to prevent galvanic corrosion.
During maintenance regularly wash down external surface of fitting with clean, fresh water to remove any
deposits of mineral salts on the exterior surface.
6. Check certification nameplate on cover of luminaire to ascertain type of threaded cable entry on the luminaire.
Select suitably certified ATEX/IEC Ex/ UKEX cable glands and stopper plugs, these must be parallel thread, have a
minimum of 5 full thread engagement and be of a medium/fine tolerance to ISO965-1 and ISO965-3. The cable
entry devices selected must maintain the IP rating of the luminaire
7. The incoming mains cable should not exceed a temperature rise of 27oC above the ambient conditions; select
suitable cable.
8. When the unit is installed correctly and in accordance with these installation instructions it will not harm humans
or animals.
9. Before installing emergency luminaires please check the last charge date of the battery. This is shown on the
external product packaging and also on the battery label, alternatively consult date shown on the declaration at
the back of this leaflet. If the last charge date was in excess of 3 months (if stored at 5°C to 25°C) or 1 month (if
stored outside this range) from date of installation, please consult Raytec document 0010-D-00001 Battery
