WARNING
This unit vents the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere. When installing this unit in a non‐hazardous
(non‐classified) location in a confined area, with natural gas as the supply medium, you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re‐classification.
When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and federal codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re‐classification.
Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside
diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
When received from the factory, the set screws (key 8), which provide a locking feature for the housing caps (key 2),
are backed off approximately 1 turn. When using the i2P‐100 transducer in explosive atmospheres these set screws
must be fully engaged.
WARNING
When using this unit in explosive atmospheres, the set screws (key 8) must be fully engaged to lock/secure the housing
caps. Failure to fully engage these set screws could result in unauthorized opening of the unit, which may result in personal
injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion.
