1. Safety instructions
1. Read this leaflet carefully before commencing to install the SPARTAN Bulkhead unit and retain it for
future use. Installation can only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
2. Check the certification nameplate attached to the luminaire to ensure that the hazardous zone, mains
supply, ambient temperature present and ‘T’ rating are suitable for the environment the unit is being
installed in.
3. If the SPARTAN unit is to be installed in areas of high vibration, please consult with Raytec.
4. Externally the SPARTAN unit housing is constructed from marine grade aluminium, and toughened
glass, 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
SPARTAN unit will be installed in; Zone 1 and Zone 2 Hazardous areas.
5. SPARTAN 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 side of bulkhead 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 24°C 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
