6 Introduction
The FB1200 Flow Computer can operate in an unprotected outdoor environment. Wiring for I/O,
communications, and power enters the enclosure through the four conduit fittings with
appropriate protective seals and connects to the terminal plate.
The front end cap (cover) provides a viewing window for the HMI module. You can access the
terminal plate by removing the rear end cap (cover).
The FB1200 Flow Computer has North American certification for Class I Division 1 Groups C and D
(explosion proof) and Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C and D (non-incendive) hazardous locations or
non-hazardous locations. See Appendix A and Appendix B for more information.
The FB1200 Flow Computer has European certification for EExd Zone 1 (flame proof) and EExd
Zone 2 (non-sparking) hazardous locations or non-hazardous locations. See Appendix C and
Appendix D for more information.
Details on certification information are included on the data plate screwed to the top of the
enclosure.
1.5.1 Physical Security
The flow computer end caps include retaining clamps for ATEX/IEC applications. In addition, if local
regulations require it, you can wire a tamper-resistant seal using the tie holes located in the front
and rear end caps, and in the coupling screws.
