2. 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:
2.2

Intended purpose of equipment

Please keep in mind what the actual application of equipment is. For example in case the equipment is
to be moved when connected to the supply it needs to be designed for that purpose. If the certification
is mentioning "portable" it means that the equipment is suitable and tested for portable use. If the
certification does not mention portable it means that the equipment shall not be moved when it is in
operation (reliable fixing of equipment).
®
SLAM Hornet units are designed and tested for portable use.
2.3 Application of use (Zone XX) in accordance with equipment
category
Operator has the best knowledge of area classification at his site. To help the operators' selection of
equipment the certification is describing the equipment category. For explosion hazardous areas there
are three equipment categories.
§ Category 1 product is suitable for use in Zones 0, 1 and 2 / (20, 21 and 22)
§ Category 2 product is suitable for use in Zones 1 and 2 / 21 and 22
§ Category 3 product is suitable for use in Zones 2 / (22)
®
SLAM Hornet units mentioned in this instruction fall into Category 2 equipment.
2.4 Explosion group (IIA, IIB or IIC) in accordance with Equipment
group (IIA, IIB or IIC)
This information is vital because the substances require different amount of energy to be ignited.
Safety requirements for equipment are not the same for different substances (e.g. static electricity
requirements).Therefore making the selection easier the gases are divided to three different groups
(IIA, IIB and IIC). Further information about the substances can be found from EN/IEC 60079-20-1
(Data for flammable gases and vapours, relating to the use of electrical apparatus).
®
SLAM Hornet units mentioned in this instruction are Equipment group IIC.
