IEC Hazardous Location Approval
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN/IEC
60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such
environments.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor use. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure
must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA or be approved for the
application if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain
additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
, for more installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.
The following information applies when operating this equipment in
hazardous locations:
Informations sur l'utilisation de cet équipement en environnements dangereux:
Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” are suitable for use in Class I Division 2
Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous locations only. Each
product is supplied with markings on the rating nameplate indicating the
hazardous location temperature code. When combining products within a system,
the most adverse temperature code (lowest “T” number) may be used to help
determine the overall temperature code of the system. Combinations of
equipment in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction at the time of installation.
Les produits marqués “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” ne conviennent qu'à une utilisation en
environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque
produit est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent le code de
température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés
dans un système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de température le plus
faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de température global du système. Les
combinaisons d'équipements dans le système sont sujettes à inspection par les autorités
locales qualifiées au moment de l'installation.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed
or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
• Do not disconnect connections to this equipment unless power
has been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Secure any external connections that mate to this equipment
by using screws, sliding latches, threaded connectors, or other
means provided with this product.
• Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2.
AVERTISSMENT
RISQUE D'EXPLOSION
• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que l'environnement est classé non
dangereux avant de débrancher l'équipement.
• Couper le courant ou s'assurer que l'environnement est classé non
dangereux avant de débrancher les connecteurs. Fixer tous les
connecteurs externes reliés à cet équipement à l'aide de vis, loquets
coulissants, connecteurs filetés ou autres moyens fournis avec ce produit.
• La substitution de composants peut rendre cet équipement inadapté à une
utilisation en environnement de Classe I, Division 2.
WARNING: For Class I Division 2 applications, use only Class I Division 2 listed or recognized accessories and modules approved for use within the 5094 platform.
