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).
