Overview

The SPARTAN SPX series of explosion-protected floodlights, manufactured by Raytec Ltd, are specialist devices designed for use in hazardous environments, specifically Zone 1 and Zone 2. This range includes both Infra-Red and White-Light models, available in Spartan 12, Spartan 24, and Spartan 48 variants, with emergency versions also offered.

Function Description:

The SPARTAN floodlights provide illumination in environments where explosive gases or dust may be present. They are certified to ATEX/IEC Ex standards, ensuring safe operation in such conditions. The floodlights are designed for robust performance, featuring marine-grade aluminium housing and toughened glass. Emergency variants are equipped with a battery backup system, providing light output for a specified duration during power outages. These emergency units require a specific setup procedure, including reconnecting a fuse and undergoing three 24-hour charge/discharge cycles to bring the battery to peak capacity. Some models may also include integrated photocells for automatic light control based on ambient conditions.

Usage Features:

  • Installation Requirements: A minimum of two fixing points must be used for mounting, and these points must be suitable for the operating conditions. The unit can be mounted horizontally or vertically, allowing for flexible aiming. Red fibre washers must be fitted between the SPARTAN housing and the mounting bracket. For Spartan 24 and 48 units, a locking screw is provided to secure the luminaire at various angles.
  • Cable Entry: Suitably certified ATEX/IEC Ex cable glands and stopper plugs with parallel threads and a minimum of 5 full thread engagement are required. These must maintain the luminaire's IP rating. The incoming mains cable should not exceed a temperature rise of 20°C above ambient conditions.
  • Wiring: The terminal block includes E (Earth), L (Live), Ls (Live switched), and N (Neutral) terminals, with two pairs of contacts for looping cables. Ls terminals on standard units are not electrically connected but allow for use on the same circuits as emergency floodlights. All terminal blocks are suitable for 4mm² cable, with only one cable per connection.
  • Emergency Variants Specifics:
    • Emergency floodlights have a single green LED near the cable glands, which indicates a healthy emergency system when illuminated.
    • The battery fuse, located in the power supply lid, needs to be reconnected during installation.
    • After reconnection, the unit must be charged for 24 hours and then discharged (repeated three times) to achieve peak battery capacity.
    • If a 4-core cable (L, Ls, N, E) is used, the link cable between L and Ls at the front of the terminal block must be removed.
    • The light output and duration during emergency operation are determined by the specific variant purchased.
  • Photocell Integration: If supplied with integrated photocells, care must be taken to position the unit so sensors are not shielded, not pointing directly at other light sources, and are monitoring general, prevailing light conditions.
  • Safety Precautions: Always isolate the mains supply before removing covers or performing any maintenance. Do not continually stare at the lamp. Install in a well-ventilated area.

Maintenance Features:

  • Regular Maintenance: All SPARTAN units must be maintained according to EN60079-17 standards for electrical apparatus in explosive gas atmospheres.
  • No Modifications: No modifications are permitted to the unit. Only spare parts purchased from the manufacturer should be used, as unauthorized modifications or parts will invalidate certification and make the equipment dangerous.
  • Cool Down Period: Always allow the unit to cool down after isolating the mains supply before carrying out maintenance.
  • Light Engine Replacement: In case of LED failure, the light engine assembly can be replaced. This involves tilting the luminaire upwards, removing the power supply cover, disconnecting white and violet cables to each power supply, removing two M8 bolts at the rear, releasing the safety cable, and pulling the assembly clear. Reassembly is the reverse procedure.
  • Power Supply Replacement: The unit has two independent power supplies. To replace a power supply, cables to the LED and mains terminal block must be disconnected, and four M6 bolts released. Power supplies are left-handed or right-handed, so the correct variant must be ordered.
  • Disposal: Packaging, SPARTAN units, and old LED assemblies must be disposed of in accordance with national regulations.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Ensure LED boards are correctly wired (White to White, Violet to Violet).
    • Verify mains input is correctly connected and turned on.
    • For emergency variants, check the fuse.
    • If an LED panel fails, swap LED cables to the opposite power supply to determine if the problem lies with the LED panel or the power supply.

The SPARTAN series is a robust and certified lighting solution for demanding industrial and hazardous environments, emphasizing safety, specific installation procedures, and adherence to maintenance guidelines.
