1.4.2 Individual testing reports
Each Slam®unit has its own individual serial number and is provided with an original,
individual testing report when leaving the factory. The year of manufacture is specified on the
type label of the equipment. Following tests have been done for Slam®Hornet
–units
according to standards relating to portable luminaries for explosion hazardous area. The
Declaration of Conformity is specifying the relevant standards. The testing report which is
included in the delivery specifies the results of the factory tests for that particular unit. The
testing report typically specifies the following tests:
PE
–resistance test
The purpose of this test is to measure persistence of earth conductor.
Vital test for electrical safety as well as explosion safety because of e.g static electricity
control.
The test current is 10 A (current) and the overall resistance should not exceed 0,5 ohm.
High voltage test (electrical strength)
The purpose of this test is to measure leakage current trough insulation. Vital test for
revealing broken components or similar failures which can not be identified visually.
Testing voltage applied is 2130VDC. Maximum leakage current is 5mA.
Test of expected use of equipment
The luminary is subjected to shaking and vibration
– to see that all the internal wires are
properly attached and components are not loose.
Operational test of luminaire and accessories
The unit is plugged-in and checked that it is working properly after all accomplished tests
above.
Visual inspection
A final check to see everything is fine (screws attached properly, wires connected and
required markings attached).

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:
