3.5 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. 

3.5.1 Requirements for supply (electricity) 

The following main requirements should be taken into account: 
 

Supply voltage

: Variation may be m/- 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 

 
Please observe the type label for further data. 
 

3.6 Adding accessories to Slam®  Hornet 

Atexor provides a number of different accessories but in case you afterwards want to add accessories of your 
own for the Slam® Hornet Emergency

–unit, please note the following points: 

 

1.  The user is fully responsible for the use of the equipment including service and maintenance 

 

2.  In case of adding accessories the following is mandatory 

 

a.  The construction of the certified unit shall not change 
b.  The IP 

–class of the unit shall not decrease 

 

3.  The static electricity is taken account (e.g. electrostatic bonding) 

 
In case you do not want to do your own risk assessment for the accessories please view the whole range of 
accessories at  

http://www.atexor.com

 

3.7 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 Emergency 

–units together, please take the following steps: 

 

1)  If using transformer, ensure its condition and capability to supply correct amount of voltage and current 
2)  Connect the first unit outside the Ex 

–area 

3)  Then connect the other luminaries to each other one by one
